Of all the builds in Diablo 4, one of the most popular is Minion Necromancer, because it has a variety of buffs and variants that can be used to complete different endgame activities, the most important of which is the use of the army of undead.
Like other builds, you can also use different Necromancer Unique items to achieve enhanced effects, one of which is Blood Moon Breeches. These unique pants can make your Minions the backbone of your battles with enemies, and Minions can keep you in a safer area through passive skills.
It is worth celebrating that in Season 5, all Unique items are not as difficult to farm as in previous seasons. This guide will show you two ways to get Blood Moon Breeches and their effects in battle.
The Simple Way
To farm Blood Moon Breeches in a simpler way, you can challenge enemies directly in World Tier 3 and World Tier 4, and then get the treasure chest after defeating them. Opening them gives you a chance to get Blood Moon Breeches, but the drop rate is low.
Apart from this, you can also get it by participating in endgame activities, such as after running Nightmare Dungeons, Gathering Legions, and Helltides. Or you can join the queue to defeat World Bosses in Sanctuary, which will increase your combat experience.
The Best Way
Since Blood Moon Breeches were introduced in Diablo 4 Season 2, you can also get them in Season 5 by defeating some Uber Bosses. In the game, Uniques are part of the loot you get after fighting Uber Bosses, but because the battles are more difficult, the chance of dropping here is higher, and the risk is higher.
As one of Uniques, Blood Moon Breeches can be found in the loot pools of King of Maggots Duriel and Echo of Andariel. Both of these bosses only appear in World Tier 4, so if you haven’t reached the requirements yet, upgrade your build as soon as possible to upgrade your character’s World Tier faster.
King of Maggots Duriel and Echo of Andariel will not wait for you in the arena obediently. You need to use some summoning materials to start fighting with them. Here are the summoning materials you need when facing these two bosses and their Tormented variants.
Duriel & Tormented Duriel
You can summon Duriel and its Tormented variant in Gaping Crevasse in Kehjistan. For the regular version of Duriel, you need 2 Mucus-Slick Eggs and 2 Shard of Agony. Both summoning materials are also obtained from the loot after defeating other bosses - Echo of Varshan and Galvanic Saint Grigoire.
As mentioned above, you need to use Diablo 4 Gold to make your build more powerful, otherwise you simply cannot fight so many enemies at once. For Tormented Duriel, you need 3 times the summoning materials of the regular version, but you will get 5 times the rewards provided by the regular version.
In addition, summoning Tormented Duriel also requires a Stygian Stone from the reward box in The Pit. If the conditions of the build allow, I think it is more cost-effective to choose to challenge the Tormented version of Uber Boss.
Andariel & Tormented Andariel
You can summon these two powerful bosses in Hanged Man’s Hall in Kehjistan. If you want to challenge both of them at once, you need to prepare 8 Sandscorched Shackles and 8 Pincushioned Dolls, plus a Stygian Stone. I think you should know how many summoning materials are needed for each version of Andariel!
Yes, that’s right. The normal version requires two summoning materials each, and Tormented version requires 6 of each plus a Stygian Stone. You will find that it is also 3 times the relationship. Then can you guess how many times the reward will be?
Sandscorched Shackles and Pincushioned Doll also need to be obtained after fighting other bosses, so you must pay attention to your defense and observe whether it can support you in multiple battles.
Among all the summoning materials, the most difficult one is Stygian Stone, because you need to complete the limited-time task in The Pit, which is a strenuous activity. So again, remember to use D4 Gold to enhance your build.
Blood Moon Breeches Effect
When your Necromancer is equipped with Blood Moon Breeches, your Minions will have a 3%-7% chance to Decrepify or Iron Maiden. If you encounter a cursed enemy at this time, you will have 100%-150% additional damage to it.
These two main abilities of Blood Moon Breeches allow you to attack the enemy safely, without getting too close to the enemy during the battle. Besides the main abilities, Blood Moon Breeches can also help you increase Overpower Damage by 88%-115%, which will greatly increase the total damage you can cause.
For Curse Duration, it will also increase by 26%-35% when you equip Blood Moon Breeches, giving you more time to recover and attack. Your Maximum Life will also increase by 368-873, which perfectly solves the previous disadvantage that Necromancer is very vulnerable to damage.
It is worth mentioning that you will also gain 2-4 Curse Skills, which, combined with the extended curse time, will allow the enemy to remain under the curse, making your battle much easier.
That’s how to farm Blood Moon Breeches in Diablo 4 Season 5. Hopefully, with the help of this Unique, every battle will be very simple. If you have any problems in the game, you can post in IGGM Discord for help. You can also participate in a lottery for a chance to win rare summoning materials! Winners will be announced on August 26th. Don’t miss out!
