Diablo 4 has all kinds of challenges and diversions waiting in the countryside for players who want to explore. Aside from dungeons, events, and PvP challenges, there are also numerous Cellars scattered throughout the countryside. These one-room "mini-dungeons" only show up on the map once a character comes within a certain distance of them, and they're handy sources of loot, XP, and crafting materials.
The vast zone of Hawezar has many Cellars for players to explore in Diablo 4 as they're having fun with side quests, farming, slaying, or wandering the countryside looking for trouble. This is a big zone with smaller cities and fewer waypoints, so it helps to have a guide to the Cellars of Hawezar.
Facts About Hawezar
Hawezar is the zone directly south of Fractured Peaks, but most players work their way north before heading toward the desert. The main quest storyline leads through the four major zones on the map in a counter-clockwise motion, and most characters reach Hawezar last.
The region is mostly swamp, with the coast on the far eastern side and mountains and cliffs to the south and west. The biggest town in the vicinity is Zarbinzet and smaller towns with limited services include Backwater, Vyeresz, and Wejihani.
The Cellars of Hawezar
The zone of Hawezar has a total of 32 cellars for the slaying and plundering, and they're spread across no less than eight smaller zones.
For the players that have reached the point in the main story where they collect Grim Favors for the Whispering Tree, check the map to see which cellars in Hawezar can fill up that red line. Remember that these change randomly at certain times, and more information can be found on the map.
