As more players start to find their feet with Diablo 4, the tremendous power of Aspects becomes all the more apparent. Aspects can bestow powerful buffs to your equipment, and if you’re a Druid, the Aspect of Tempest is right up your alley. Like most mechanics in the game, you’re not simply told how to get the Aspect of Tempest in Diablo 4. You could explore the map for hours but never find it. In this guide, I’ll show you how to find the appropriate Dungeon and what to do when you’re inside. If you’re a bit lost on what you should be doing with Aspects, check out our guide, which gives a crash course on this new mechanic.
How to get the Aspect of Tempest in Diablo 4
You can find the Aspect of the Tempest in the Blind Burrows Dungeon in the Hawezar Region. It’s a fair walk depending on where you are in the campaign. If you’ve not ventured into the region yet, travel South from Kyovashad.

You can see the location circled in the picture above. Just North is the Wejinhani Waypoint.
Inside the Blind Burrows
Finding the Dungeon is only half the battle, as the Blind Burrows are no pushover. The Dungeon is crawling with Spiders, and they often lurk in packs. They can kill you surprisingly fast if you’re surrounded, so take it slow and steady as you explore. On top of our 8-legged friends, you also have Arachnid Horrors, Plague Maggots, and Toxic Lurkers (the giant tanky spiders) to deal with.
Your goal in Blind Burrows is to defeat 3 Infested Villagers. Compared to the rest of the enemies in this Dungeon, they shouldn’t pose a problem, but large elite enemies will usually appear when you get close. I can’t offer navigation tips as the Dungeon is randomly generated, but if you find a passageway you can’t enter, remember its whereabouts for later.
Once you’ve defeated every Infested Villager, a previously blocked passage will open. Following the path will lead you to Midnight Haven, where Broodguard, the Dungeon Boss, awaits you.
How to defeat Broodguard

Broodguard is a giant spider (lovely!) and challenges the player to a grueling battle if they want to earn the Aspect of Tempest. Like the other Dungeon bosses, Broodguard has a ton of health; each time she loses 25%, she drops several health potions.
The Boss spits poison puddles into the arena, damaging you if you step into them. If you’re a close-range attacker, this works in your favor, as this attack will miss you if you’re in point-blank range. Broodguard’s trump card is the sheer amount of reinforcements she can summon into the arena. Combined with all the poison puddles, those enemies make the fight incredibly chaotic. If you’re forced to choose between walking through poison or getting surrounded, you should pick the former every time.
You could craft an Elixer of Poison Resistance for the battle, although, in my experience, it’s unnecessary. Getting swarmed is the biggest threat in the Dungeon, and no amount of Poison Resistance will help with that.
Once you’ve defeated Broodguard, you’ve cleared the Dungeon, and the Aspect of the Tempest is yours.
I’m still struggling to find the Blind Burrows, any tips?
It’s hard to track your exact location without constantly opening the menu to check the map. One popular resource you can try for navigation is Mapgenie.io. This website has an interactive map that you can keep open on your phone or a 2nd monitor. Select ‘Hide All’ to remove all the markers, and you can type ‘Blind Burrows’ into the search bar to display the exact location.
