Similar to how world levels changed aspects of the game, higher difficulties increase enemy aggression, health, and damage to make your adventure more challenging.
More difficulties beyond the Penitent, called Torment difficultiescan be unlocked by completing levels of The Pit, a returning megadungeon from the series. The Pit is unlocked when one of your characters reaches level 60, the maximum possible level for any build. You can find the Well in Cerrigar, accessible through the Artificer’s Obelisk, where you can select the difficulty level you wish to challenge certain layers of the dungeon.
There is four levels of Torment that you can unlockeach with their own reward increases similar to increasing base difficulties.
