The goal is to fill the bar and kill the Rift Guardian before the timer runs out.

Use the Greater Rift Keystone on the Pylon in any Town, and choose which Level you want to enter (the higher the rank, the more difficult the Rift).If you want to farm for Greater Rift Keystones, the best way is to continuously clear the highest Level Nephalem Rift you can.The higher the difficulty of the Nephalem Rift, the more Keystones you will get.Afterwards, you will have to do Nephalem Rifts first in order to gain a Greater Rift Keystone.To gain access to Greater Rifts, you simply need to hit level 70.

This is the only way to obtain and upgrade Legendary Gems (with the Boon of the Hoarder being the only exception). Greater Rifts are the major part of the endgame content in Diablo 3 – they are randomized dungeons in which you will have to fill a progression bar to summon the Rift Guardian.ĭefeating the Rift Guardian will grant you loot and experience, with the prizes increasing the more difficult the Rift is.
