How to access a Nightmare Dungeon in Diablo 4 Season 3

To access Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4, you will need the corresponding Nightmare Sigil.

These are consumables you can find in the game by completing Whispers of the Dead bounties in World Tier 3: Nightmare and Nightmare Dungeons. You'll also be given more Sigils as a reward for completing the Nightmare Dungeon.
