Haunted Refuge in Diablo 4 is a forgotten Church now filled with a large amount of muddy water and has become the refuge for local wildlife and similar creatures. Haunted Refuge is not that haunted but a specific room where a ghost resides.
It is mainly infested with wildlife like Putrid Wasps, Spike Fiends, Tusked Chargers, and other beasts and zombies. There is no final boss to fight in the end. Despite being a randomized layout, the dungeon is short, with a typical layout consisting of a Sunken Den where most of the water is and a Befouled Quagmire where all enemies must be slayed.
The Haunted Refuge dungeon in D4 is pretty straightforward with less difficulty because it has no boss to fight, but its enemies are very annoying, and this guide will help you to clear the dungeon.
