Diablo 4 Season 7 Ugly Bastard Helm: How To Get The Most Out Of This Barbarian Helm? - Effects & Farming

Posted: Feb 24, 2025

When you’re building a strong build in Diablo 4, you’ll probably want Uniques, which are gear with a lot of interesting passive affixes that can provide some very helpful buffs to your build, such as improving your survivability or combat ability.

Usually, some Uniques can only play a major role in specific builds, but there are also some Uniques that are suitable for multiple Class builds because of their universal power and high flexibility. Ugly Bastard Helm is one of them.

Diablo 4 Season 7 Ugly Bastard Helm: How To Get The Most Out Of This Barbarian Helm? - Effects & Farming

While this helmet is suitable for most builds, it has a huge buff to Berserking’s damage ability, so it will be more suitable for your Barbarian, especially if you are preparing to enter the endgame stage of Diablo 4, it will make your entire build have unstoppable damage ability.

Given the power of Ugly Bastard Helm, you may need to get the specific affixes and unique effects of this helmet from this guide, as well as the effective methods of farming this unique, so that you can make an optimal Barbarian build as soon as possible.

About Ugly Bastard Helm

First, let’s take a look at the specific effectiveness of this helmet. When you use it in a non-Barbarian build, you can only get a 10%-85% increase in fire resistance. Although this will give you a certain increase in your defensive capabilities, it is not worth spending a lot of Diablo 4 Gold and energy for a non-Barbarian build to get a piece of gear with fire resistance, so it is not recommended here.

But if you put this helmet in a Barbarian build, in addition to this fire resistance, your Aggressive Resistance will also increase by 1-3 levels to enhance the defensive capabilities of Barbarian build, which is already very solid.

Not only that, although Ugly Bastard Helm is a defensive gear, your Prolific Fury will also increase by 2-5 points, and your Wrath of the Berserker skill cooldown will be reduced by 8%-12.5%, which will greatly enhance your damage ability and help you clear enemies faster.

With the help of this Unique, the lack of damage in Barbarian build that was previously criticized by Diablo 4 players has been improved to a certain extent in Season 7. On top of that, if you use Lucky Hit in combat, you will have a 40% chance to deal 605-6,750 points of increased fire damage, which is something that users of this class could not imagine before.

Although many gear exclusive to the Barbarian build in this season will provide it with strong fire damage buffs, the buffs it provides are directly applied to the original skills such as Prolific Fury or Wrath of the Berserker, so its buff value will be directly reflected in your combat and metadata.

In contrast, Crown of Lucion provides a very small bonus, as there are few builds that can fully match it to take advantage of it. In addition, Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty and Godslayer Crown, although they can be used by many builds, the clearing speed bonus they provide is relatively small, so they are not suitable for use in the endgame.

How To Farm Ugly Bastard Helm?

While Ugly Bastard Helm is a Unique that will drop from any fight you have in Torment 1, this Legendary Unique Item is most commonly dropped from some endgame boss encounters, Kurast Undercity, The Pit, Purveyor of Curiosities, and Infernal Hordes.

Of these, Purveyor of Curiosities and endgame boss encounters allow you to target this Ugly Bastard Helm for farming, because you can do targeted farming by looking at the loot list of the bosses or gambling for Caps at Purveyor of Curiosities.

Unfortunately, Purveyor of Curiosities has been nerfed in the current season, so the best way to target this Unique effectively is to challenge Lord Zir in different Torment Tiers, which requires you to use some Diablo 4 Items to summon it.

Diablo 4 Lord Zir

In the current season, Lord Zir can be summoned in Ancient’s Seat dungeon at any Torment difficulty, located in Darkened Way in Fractured Peaks. You need to have collected enough Exquisite Blood by completing Legion Events or defeating World Bosses, Helltide Blood Maiden, or Treasure Goblins.

Each summoning of Lord Zir costs you 12 Exquisite Blood, so you need to get as many materials as possible from the above events so that you can quickly challenge Lord Zir at higher difficulties, which will increase the drop rate of Ugly Bastard Helm.

Once you have collected all Exquisite Blood, you can place it in Bloodied Altar at a different Torment difficulty to complete the summoning of this boss. During the battle, you should stand in the corner as much as possible and prioritize killing the minions summoned by the boss, to ensure your own safety in order to obtain the final loot and Diablo 4 Gold.

The above is the working principle and farming method of Ugly Bastard Helm, which is very important for Barbarian builds in Diablo 4 Season 7. I hope that you can use the more effective farming methods introduced in this guide to get this extremely useful gear into your Barbarian build quickly. I wish you a happy game!
