As Diablo 4 enters Season of Hatred Rising, the difficulty of some enemies has also increased with the upgrade of the difficulty system in the new season, which may require you to learn more combat skills and strategies. But what will not change is that for some Uber Bosses, you still need to use some summoning materials to summon them, instead of waiting for your challenge in the arena.

Among all the summoning materials, Living Steel can be said to be very important. Not only because it is very rare but also because it can summon Galvanic Saint Grigoire, which can provide you with a lot of Uniques. This is a very powerful Boss added in the previous season. Of course, besides Uniques, this Boss will also reward you with Shards of Agony, which can be used to summon Echo of Duriel, which is more powerful but can also provide you with more loot. So Living Steel is the source of all your rewards, and its importance can be seen.

Although Living Steel is very difficult to obtain, this guide will tell you that it is very difficult to obtain. Here we will introduce you to multiple ways to farm Living Steel and tell you how to use it, striving to provide you with a one-stop service.

Farming Methods

Once you have passed all the experience and reached Torment 1, you can start farming Living Steel. Here is a suggestion for you: your farming efficiency will be higher in higher levels of Tormented difficulty. Living Steel mainly drops when you run some endgame activities, such as Kurast Undercity or Nightmare Dungeons exclusive to Season 6.

Of course, you may find that the drop rate of Living Steel in these dungeons is too low after your first run. If you don’t want to participate in the more tough challenges, you can only grind in these two dungeons multiple times to increase the probability of Living Steel dropping.

Or you can also find Living Steel in Tortured Gifts that appear in Helltide events, where the chance will be slightly higher. Once you’ve completed the main campaign, Helltides will appear on the map, and you can join them through a portal and defeat some enemies with a powerful build enhanced by Diablo 4 Gold.

After you defeat all the enemies and complete the events, you’ll earn the special currency in Helltides called Aberrant Cinders. You’ll need to use it to open Helltides Chests that may contain Living Steel, but don’t be sad if you don’t have the summoning material you want, because some of the powerful items in them are also very valuable and can be used to enhance your build and character.

If you want to do a targeted farming of Living Steel, you can use 250 Aberrant Cinders to get Tortured Gifts, which have a greatly increased drop rate of this summoning material, and you can even get 14 Living Steel at once, while other Helltides Chests can only give you 1-2 at most!

In addition, you can also specifically pick the time when Helltides appears in Kehjistan, because this is the only region with three Tortured Gifts. Once you enter this Helltide, spend 600 Aberrant Cinders to open all Tortured Gifts, and you can even get 42 Living Steel in less than an hour.

It should be noted here that you can only get this Tortured Gift after unlocking Torment Difficulties, which is also a prerequisite for participating in the endgame event.

Usage

Living Steel is used to summon Tormented Grigoire. You need to take these summoning materials to Hall of the Penitent in any Torment difficulties and find a summoning altar there. If you can’t find this special location, you can use Ked Bardu, the capital of Dry Steppes, as a landmark, which is just south of the capital.

It costs 12 Living Steel each time you summon Tormented Grigoire, and this cost does not increase with the increase of Torment difficulties. After you place the summoning materials, this Uber Boss will appear.

Here are some combat tips for you: First, if your Lightning Resistance cap is less than 70%, you need to equip an Elixir of Lightning Resistance II in your build to increase your resistance to magic damage cast by Grigoire. In addition, during the battle, try to go around it from behind to attack it, so that you can avoid a lot of frontal attacks.

When its health is only 40%, Grigoire will summon some small monsters to help it. At this time, your attack target should be changed to these small monsters, otherwise they will also be very deadly to you. After you successfully defeat it, you can pick up some very valuable loot and Diablo 4 Gold. The following is a list of loot it provides.

So far, the season of Diablo 4 series of games has been updated to the sixth season. Usually, game developers always add some new mechanisms and game content to the new season, or update some modes of the old season and continue them to the new season.

Besides these changes, there are some fixed mechanisms in Diablo 4 that always exist. However, they will be updated accordingly according to the battle mode and boss settings of the current season, especially some inherent reward mechanisms, such as Season Blessings.

Season Blessings is an effective seasonal game mechanism that provides players with unlocking character gains and obtaining Diablo 4 Gold based on Classes and battle modes that players can use in the current season. So if you want to get ideal combat help in season 6 Hatred Rising through it, you must understand its new changes.

Based on this, we will introduce you to how to unlock and use Season Blessings in season 6 successfully.

Overview Of Season Blessings In The New Season

As a seasonal content formula in the game, Season Blessings allows players to participate in various seasonal game content to obtain relevant combat gains and other benefits in the corresponding season. So that they can advance the game progress of the current season more smoothly.

Season Blessings are only valid during the corresponding Diablo 4 Season. When a season ends, as your game character transfers to Eternal Realm, the previous season’s Season Blessings will disappear along with the season-specific functions. Each new season introduces new Season Blessings, and in Season 6, players have five Season Blessings to choose from:

• Urn of Aggression: +5% boost to XP from monster kills for each tier
• Urn of Curiosities: +10% chance to get double Purveyor of Curiosities items for each tier
• Urn of Spoils: +10% boost to the chance of receiving a legendary item from Spoils of Hell chests in Helltides for each tier
• Urn of Opals: +10% chance to get extra Seething Opals after completing Seething Realms for each tier
• Urn of Remnants: Boosts player Zakarum Remnants’ reputation gain by 10% for each tier

These Season Blessings can be unlocked by earning Smoldering Ashes in free Battle Pass. These Ashes can also be used to upgrade the effects of Season Blessings received, up to the fourth level. This means that if you have enough Smoldering Ashes, you can upgrade all Season Blessings to the highest level, further expanding their effects.

For example, when Urn of Spoils is upgraded to the highest level, players have a 40% chance to receive double items at Obol Vendor. This will help players achieve more achievements in Season of Hatred Rising faster.

Therefore, when obtaining these items, we recommend that you prioritize XP gain and Zakarum Remnants’ rewards. Because they can help you complete the game content faster, and it is very troublesome to obtain Zakarum’s reputation in other ways.

In addition, when the current season is about to end, don’t forget to exchange Season Blessings for Urn of Curiosities. Because if you want to get some of the most difficult seasonal journey rewards, you should also invest some points in Zakarum Reputation at the end of the game so that you can have effective Zakarum Reputation building at the end.

How To Unlock And Equip Season 6 Season Blessings?

Once you enter the game, you can see Season Blessings on Season 6 homepage of Diablo 4. Then find Season Blessings menu on the left side of the season screen. Clicking on it will pop up a new menu showing all the details of the five Season Blessings that players can choose this season.

However, if your game character is not level 45 and above, or if you have not upgraded Season 6 Seasonal Battle Pass to level 8 and above, you cannot open Season Blessings screen. This is because Season Blessings require Smoldering Ashes to unlock, and players can only do this after completing the required upgrades.

However, once you have completed the required upgrades and earned some Ashes through Season 6 Seasonal Battle Pass, you can open Season Blessings menu and select and obtain Season Blessings effects you want by providing Ashes.

As Seasonal Battle Pass progresses, players will earn more Ashes, which will allow them to further increase the power of Season Blessings through upgrades.

When Season 6 ends and characters are transferred to Eternal Realm, all current Season Blessings will be ineffective. This means that players can only use these five Season Blessings during Season 6.

These are the tips for unlocking and using Season Blessings in Diablo 4 Season 6. If you want to learn more, enter IGGM Discord, where the fourth giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season of Hatred Rising is currently underway.
