Cruel difficulty is the moniker for the level-upscaled versions of Act 1, Act 2, and Act 3 temporarily introduced during Early Access as a replacement for Acts 4 to Act 6, before a player can reach Endgame.

After defeating the act boss of Act 3, the player will advance to Act 1 at Cruel difficulty.

Cruel difficulty contains the same areas, monsters, and quests (with some minor differences). The difference between the default difficulty is primarily the increased area level, consequentially increasing the local monster level and item level within these areas.

Higher level versions of some item base types will also begin to appear in these areas, designated by "Advanced" in the item name.

Cruel acts will not repeat tutorials found in the earlier acts.
