A key difference from some other strongholds is that Alcarnus does not unlock a Diablo 4 Gold new dungeon or a waypoint upon completion. While some strongholds become new towns with vendors and a fast-travel point, Alcarnus remains a cleared-out area. However, it does open up new opportunities. Liberating the stronghold is a prerequisite for a significant side quest in the area, allowing players to delve deeper into the region's lore and earn additional rewards. It also serves as a permanent landmark, a testament to the player's triumph over demonic forces. The cleared stronghold becomes a safer place to farm enemies and engage in open-world activities.

Alcarnus is a strong example of how Strongholds in Diablo 4 go beyond simple dungeon crawls. They are integral parts of the open world, providing a sense of progression and permanence. The liberation of Alcarnus is a satisfying experience, from the initial cleansing of the cursed streets to the climactic battle against Rashta Reborn. The constant threat of enemy ambushes and the need to deal with the Pustulant Masses adds a layer of tactical depth, while the final boss fight is a true test of a player's build and skill.

While it may not offer a new waypoint, the substantial Renown boost and the narrative progression it provides make Alcarnus an essential stop on any adventurer's journey through Kehjistan. It's a prime location to test a character's strength and truly feel the impact of a hero's actions in a world struggling against the forces of Hell. For players seeking a rewarding challenge and a tangible impact on the Diablo IV Gold for sale game world, Alcarnus is a Stronghold that cannot be ignored.
