Fastest way to clear Nephalem Rifts?

Fastest way to clear Nephalem Rifts? - White room with closed door of restroom

One of the achievements is to clear a Rift in just 2 short minutes. So seeing there isn't a difficulty requirement, I went to Normal to give this a try. After a few attempts my fastest time is still around 9 minutes. How is it possible to clear Rifts in just 2 minutes?



Best Answer

The fastest way to clear a rift is by using a level 1 rifts. Step by step explanation:

  1. Find 3 friends who want to get this achievement as well. Preferably if they are DH's with both Danetta's xbows
  2. One of you creates a new character, then creates a game where everybody joins
  3. Re-join with the level 70(or 60) DH and let somebody open the rift
  4. Now there are 4 level 60-70 guys in a Normal level 1 game ==> every monster will die with a single hit
  5. Spread out, kill everything as fast as you can.
  6. If you are lucky, you will get the achievement after the first try. If not, open another rift and repeat

How do you complete a Nephalem rift in 2 minutes?

You can lower the difficulty in-game as long as you are not in Hardcore. Lower it a step at a time until you can run the Rift in under 15 minutes. Expert may be good to get started.

It's a finite number of levels, but if you're you're looking for legendaries it's definitely worth going on, because your legendary drop rate is +100% inside rifts!

Answer 2

I completed the achievement with 3 friends. However, we weren't trying to get the achievement or anything; just farming rifts. We were on Expert difficulty as well. My thoughts about it are that it just depends on the rift and monster density. It's definitely very possible to complete the achievement on harder difficulties, so if you're having a rough time with grabbing the achievement, maybe just get better equipment, paragon levels, etc.
