Staff Avatar by Staff

Are you struggling to unlock the new Penitent difficulty in Vessel of Hatred?

Many players have reported being unable to select it on the character creation screen. But don’t worry, there’s a simple workaround!

To unlock both Expert and Penitent difficulties, log into one of your existing characters. Once you are in, you will have the option to switch difficulties without any issues.

While we’re not sure if this is a bug, Blizzard clearly stated that Penitent isn’t anything you should have access to immediately, so it makes sense a login with an eligible character is required to unlock it.
