The main campaign of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred is just the beginning of the adventure. Once you complete the main story, a world of endless possibilities will open up to you. From finding and destroying demons in a vast open world to challenging those cleverly designed secret dungeons with varying degrees of difficulty, and more activities are waiting for players to explore.

Faced with such a rich selection of content, many players may not know which new things to try first. Below, we will introduce you to some suggestions to help you better enjoy the game after completing Vessel of Hatred.

7. Complete Deeds Of A Champion Quest

Deeds Of A Champion Quest will automatically unlock after you beat the main story and serve as a gateway to introduce endgame activities. If you are unsure of what to do next after completing Vessel of Hatred’s main campaign, Deeds Of A Champion Quest will be a perfect starting point.

By doing this quest, you will familiarize yourself with several key locations - Kurast Undercity, Tree of Whispers, Helltide, and Pit of the Artificer. Below, we will introduce each place and its featured activities.

6. Farm Cinders To Open Tortured Gifts

In Diablo 4’s endgame, Helltide is a core activity that provides players with a constant challenge and rich rewards. Every hour, random areas of the game’s map will be covered in Helltide, which are infested with demons and present opportunities for brave adventurers to earn loot. By defeating these demons, players can earn Aberrant Cinders, which can be used to open Tortured Gifts in Helltide.

It is important to note that when Helltide moves to a new area, your Aberrant Cinders do not transfer with it. This means that you must use them before they disappear or you will lose this hard-earned currency.

The rewards provided by Tortured Gifts are very attractive, including large amounts of Diablo 4 Gold, experience points, and the opportunity to obtain legendary or unique equipment, which are important resources for improving the strength of your characters.

To more effectively deal with Helltide, many players recommend the strategy of using Baneful Hearts to summon Blood Maiden. The Blood Maiden is a powerful ally that provides a lot of support in battle and drops numerous Aberrant Cinders and other valuable loot after defeating enemies. This makes her one of the ideal choices for fighting against Helltide.

5. Unlock Kurast Undercity

Kurast Undercity is a challenging endgame activity in Diablo 4 that can be gradually unlocked by completing Deeds of a Champion quest. This introductory quest consists of two key steps: Kurast Undercity and Undercity: Wail of the Forgotten. Once completed, you can freely explore Kurast Undercity.

Kurast Undercity is designed as a complex maze-like structure divided into three levels. The first two levels are mainly timed tasks, where you need to act quickly to overcome various obstacles and defeat the enemies that keep coming.

It is worth noting that there are some Braziers scattered throughout these two levels, which can increase your Attunement by lighting them or simply destroying the surrounding monsters. Gaining a high Attunement can increase your chances of obtaining rare rewards from the boss in the third level.

4. Participate In Infernal Hordes Activity

Before participating in Infernal Hordes activity, players need to obtain Infernal Compass. It can be crafted from Occultist or dropped as a reward from other activities such as Nightmare Dungeons or Helltide. Once you have Infernal Compass, you can participate in Infernal Hordes activity. Completing these activities will earn your Aether, which can be exchanged for rich loot after the battle.

3. Clear Nightmare Dungeons

Nightmare Dungeons are popular among players because of their high chance of dropping powerful equipment and Masterworking materials. To enter Nightmare Dungeons, you first need to complete other Nightmare Dungeons or craft them at Occultist to obtain a specific Nightmare Sigil. Clearing Nightmare Dungeons can earn Obducite, which can be used to Masterwork your gear.

2. Defeat Uber Bosses

In order to summon Uber Bosses, you need to collect specific materials, and the type of these materials depends on the boss you hope to face. Usually, these materials can be obtained by participating in other types of endgame activities, such as Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide, or World Bosses. After defeating Uber Bosses, you will obtain Uniques and Mythic Uniques.

1. Clear Dark Citadel

In Dark Citadel, multiple players need to team up to explore a large dungeon and face a series of powerful enemies and bosses together. Because of the extremely high difficulty of this mode, Dark Citadel only supports multiplayer cooperative mode, but it provides a Party Finder tool for players to recruit teammates to join their team.

Dark Citadel is divided into three wings, each with a unique environment and enemy layout, as well as powerful bosses to overcome. Dark Citadel is considered the second most difficult endgame activity in the game after Uber Bosses. Therefore, it is best to accumulate enough equipment and experience through other activities before taking on the challenge of Dark Citadel.

Through the above suggestions, we hope to help you enjoy the game better and continue to challenge yourself and improve your strength in the world of Diablo 4. Finally, if you have some better ideas to share, you can discuss with more players in IGGM discord group, and Giveaway channel will often release information about Diablo 4 product giveaways.

On November 12, the developers of Diablo 4 series held a campfire chat, mainly communicating with players and announcing the content of the mid-term patch of Season 6. Although some information about Season 7 was revealed during the period, it was still very limited.

In the following week, Diablo 4 was in the middle of Season 6, and with the release of patch 2.0.5 and the holding of some festive in-game activities, including red-cloaked horror and welcome back gifts for Eternal players, this week was very lively.

However, since Season 7 is not far away, and in order to satisfy your curiosity, on November 21, the developers held another campfire chat, mainly announcing the main updates of Season 7 and patch 2.1 PTR.

Based on this, we will introduce you to the two main updates on patch 2.1 PTR.

1. Powers Of Witchcraft

Season 6 of Hatred Rising is still in progress and is expected to end in January and enter Season 7. But in order to present a better Season 7, the game developer will release patch 2.1 PTR on December 3 and last until December 10. In this PTR, you can not only test the new patch but also get to know the new Season 7 content for the first time.

Among all the new content, the introduction of powers of Witchcraft is the first. If you have experienced Diablo 4 Season 2, you will know that you can use Vampiric powers and the addition of powers of Witchcraft in Season 7 will make it a new “seasonal power” and a new helper for you to get a lot of Diablo 4 Gold.

How To Get Witchcraft?

To get Witchcraft first in Season 7, you first need to collect a new currency, Restless Rot, by defeating Headrotten. Then head to the altar and trade Restless Rot for Witchcraft.

As for how to equip Witchcraft, it’s actually similar to Sanguine Circle in Season 2. If you haven’t experienced Sanguine Circle, it doesn’t matter. You can just find an extra tab on the character menu to do it.

Build A Witchcraft Season Reputation Board

Once you have Witchcraft, you can continue to build a reputation board specifically for Witchcraft season, and Coven’s Favor will drop from Whispers. On top of that, you will earn Resplendent Sparks again by completing Witchcraft season reputation board, helping you craft Mythic Uniques.

In addition, Whispers will also become more intense as the tree hunts for Headrotten. Headhunts will spawn in a similar area takeover style to Helltides, and feature all new Whispers activities, as well as some other activities you are familiar with. Completing these Whispers activities will give you a chance to encounter a Headrotten boss. Sending the heads of the boss to Tree of Whispers will also earn your Occult gems.

What Are Occult Gems?

As an item in Season 7, Occult gems will have a unique effect on the game and can be used to embed in item slots, thus providing you with some combat benefits. It is also worth noting that exploring Forgotten Altars in various dungeons in Sanctuary can unlock new powers. In fact, more than 20 new powers will be added in Season 7.

2. Quality Of Life Updates

Before Diablo 4 2.1 version PTR, the game developer revealed not only Armory mechanism that makes it easier to save and exchange equipment, as well as a series of other changes in the campfire chat on November 21, but also many quality of life changes. The most important of these is the change of Paragon Board.

Paragon Board Season 7 Update

According to the latest news, Paragon Board in Season 7 will allow you to customize the build you need to use after reaching the game level cap. And starting from the next season, all Paragon experience you earn throughout the season will be added to your Eternal Realm progress.

According to the development team, this Paragon experience migration mechanism will give you the opportunity to obtain rewards in Eternal Realm without having to worry about seasonal grinding.

Changes To Ancestral Legendary Items

In the future, the drop rate of Ancestral Legendary items will also be greatly increased in all levels of Diablo 4’s new Torment difficulty system. Higher drop rates can not only improve the level of game activities but also will not affect the important position of Ancestral Legendary items in the game.

In addition, starting from Season 7, Ancestral Legendary items will definitely appear at the highest end of their Legendary Aspect level.

Other Changes And Updates

Other quality of life changes mainly include a redesigned system for unique power rolls, a gem fragment converter that can create Legendary items, and updates to class tasks.

Of course, the above content is only part of the content of Season 7 and the 2.1 version PTR update. I believe that with the launch of both in the future, you will experience a more exciting Season 7.

Related: Diablo 4 Promotions & Giveaways

In addition, enter IGGM Discord now, you cannot communicate with other Diablo 4 players, but also participate in the eighth giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season 6.

We will draw 20 lucky players on December 2 to share 5000 Andariel Materials, 5000 Andariel Materials, 20000 Living Steel and 20000 Exquisite Blood equally. Remember to participate in time!

For MMORPGs, builds are one of the most efficient tools that players can use in battle, and this is also true in Diablo 4 series. A good build will effectively combine the skills, weapons, equipment and other elements available to your game character, allowing you to exert your greatest strength in battle and kill enemies faster.

In Diablo 4 series of games, Rogue has always been a popular class. It is mainly popular with players for its excellent mobility and flexibility, and the class also has many powerful weapons that can be obtained and used through Diablo 4 Gold. Based on these characteristics, you will find that this class has many builds for you to use in battle. The most classic of them is Twisting Blades Build.

In fact, this is not a new build that appeared in the sixth season, but it has appeared in previous seasons, but now it has undergone various updates and optimizations from players, making it more powerful and easier to use in Season of Hatred Rising.

With that in mind, we’re going to show you how to use Rogue’s Twisting Blades Build in Season 6.

The Right Skill Upgrade Order

If you want your Twisting Blades Build to be successful before reaching the endgame, you need to unlock the right skills, and it’s best to upgrade them in a specific order from level 1 to 50. Here’s the best skill upgrade order for the first 10 levels:

• 1. Puncture
• 2. Enhanced Puncture
• 3. Twisting Blades
• 4. Enhanced Twisting Blades
• 5. Improved Twisting Blades
• 6. Fundamental Puncture
• 7. Shadow Step
• 8. Dash
• 9. Twisting Blades
• 10. Twisting Blades

If you want to be a Rogue player who can become more powerful by using Twisting Blades Build, you should master these skills using reputation points. Doing so will make it easy to enter the endgame phase of the game with this build, regardless of whether you’re playing the campaign while upgrading.

For Season 6’s Twisting Blades Build, the core skill is of course Twisting Blades, which is the skill you use most often when dealing damage to enemies, and you can also use Shadow and Poison Imbuements to enhance Twisting Blades. However, it is worth noting that you also need Puncture to obtain energy for power Twisting Blades.

In addition, for optimal mobility, you need to make reasonable use of Shadow Step and Dash skills. They not only allow you to cross the battlefield but also weaken enemies and increase your critical hit chance.

The Most Suitable Specialization Option

If you know something about Rogue class or you have always been a Rogue player, you will know that this class has an exclusive enhancement mechanism, which is Specialization.

In Diablo 4, there are three unique Rogue Specializations for you to choose one of them to equip to further enhance your build. If you want to match it with Twisting Blades Build, we recommend that you choose Combo Points Specialization.

This way, when you use Twisting Blades Build, your basic skills will generate combo points. Once you have three points, you can consume them with core skills to gain additional combat benefits.

If you cast Puncture three times after this, you can easily use Twisting Blades to destroy groups of enemies. Puncture also helps you keep yourself supplied with energy during combat.

Because of the unique role of Combo Points Specialization, we recommend repeating some skills in the following rotation order so that your entire combat process is more coherent and effective:

• Poison Imbuement
• Shadow Step
• Puncture x3
• Twisting Blades
• Shadow Imbuement
• Dash
• Puncture x3
• Twisting Blades

After you use Poison Imbuement first, which affects Shadow Step, once you rush into a group of enemies, remember to use Puncture three times to accumulate combo points before casting Twisting Blades with Imbuement. Then use Shadow Imbuement to make the enemy vulnerable.

Then cast a Dash to slash enemies in your path, and repeat Puncture and Twisting Blades to use Combo Points Specialization ability. Finally, repeat the entire process until all enemies are defeated.

Best Legendary Aspects

With Twisting Blades Build, you can obtain many excellent Legendary Aspects through dungeons to further improve the power of this build.

• Aspect of Corruption-Renegade’s Retreat: Allows you to be more lethal to vulnerable enemies when using Imbuement skill.
• Bladedancer’s Aspect-Jalal’s Vigil: This aspect causes Twisting Blades to detour for a short time after returning to you, and each hit can also gain a certain percentage of the return damage.
• Vengeful Aspect-Inferno: Can cause further damage to vulnerable enemies, and has a chance to create Arrow Storm at the enemy’s location, causing physical damage for a short period.
• Aspect of Arrow Storms-Howling Warren: Uses Marksman and Cutthroat skills to cast Arrow Storm on enemies, causing corresponding damage.
• Aspect of Unstable Imbuements-Whispering Vault: Allows you to cause an explosion while using Imbuement skill and applies Imbuement effect to deal the same type of damage.

Best Twisting Blades Build For PVP Mode

Regarding PVP mode, we recommend that you use Twisting Blades Build for PVP Fields of Hatred. Here, this build is mainly centered on single-target damage, especially Twisting Blades, which always works against a single enemy. So it will be very suitable for dealing with relevant PVP modes.

While Twisting Blades Build performs well in PVP, you can also try using Barrage Builds. Compared to Twisting Blades Build, they will perform better in this fast-paced environment.

Hopefully, after understanding the above content, you will have a clearer idea of ​​how to use Twisting Blades Build in Season 6. If you still have any confusion, you can enter IGGM Discord to discuss with other online players and have a chance to win game prizes through the giveaway channel. Thank you for reading.

Spiritborn is a new class added in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred Expansion, and its Resolve mechanic brings a variety of powerful builds. Among them, Rock Splitter Thorns Build utilizes damage bonuses to make players an AoE powerhouse. To try this build, we have some detailed guides for you below.

Rock Splitter Thorns Build Work Mechanism

Rock Splitter Thorns Build does not work by taking hits, but applies 100% of the player’s Thorns damage by hitting, making it one of the best offensive Thorns builds. Sepazontec always applies the skill’s third attack bonus, making Rock Splitter the ultimate damage powerhouse. Therefore, it is very necessary to spend some Diablo 4 Gold to obtain it when making a build.

Players using this build can expect to easily handle a variety of content, without worrying about resource management, and have strong defensive capabilities. However, this build can struggle when enemies are scattered, as it relies on Binding Morass and the synergy between Lithwat and XolKry Runewords to draw enemies.

In order to maximize damage output and effectively manage survivability in Rock Splitter Thorns Spiritborn, players need to take a series of strategic actions. When facing a boss or elite enemy, once they reach the injury threshold, immediately use Ultimate ability of this build to deal a lot of damage.

Use Toxic Skin to keep Thorns passive activated while Ultimate ability is on cooldown, which can ensure continuous damage to the enemy.

In addition, to further improve survivability, it is recommended that players rotate between three different defensive skills to reduce damage from enemies. In order for Runewords & Binding Morass Aspect carried by the character to work correctly on the enemy group, it is very important to try to keep your position relatively fixed.

Ability Points & Skill Tree

The skill tree of Rock Splitter Thorns Spiritborn is mainly defensive, as it requires little additional damage ability besides the basic skills.

Basic Node

• Rocksplitter (1/5): Enhanced Rock Splitter, Accelerated Rock Splitter

Core Node

• Follow Through (3/3)

Focus Node

• Toxic Skin (1/5): Enhanced Toxic Skin, Replenishing Toxic Skin
• Unrestrained Power (3/3)
• Focal Point (1/3)
• Diminishment (3/3)
• Apex (3/3)
• Mirage (3/3)

Potency Node

• Resilient (3/3)
• Dominant (3/3)
• Potent (3/3)

Ultimate Skill

• The Hunter (5/5): Harmonious Hunter, Exhalted Hunter
• Resolution (3/3)
• Spiritual Attunement (1/3)
• Supremacy (3/3)

Key Passive

As the key passive of the build, Adaptive Stances naturally makes use of several spirits. The extra skill rank doesn’t give this build much benefit, as most skills won’t be maxed out.

Spirit Hall Choices

Since Spirit Hall bonuses all derive from the same Spirit, using Loyalty’s Mantle is a smart choice.

Primary Spirit Bonus

Gorilla is placed in the first Spirit Hall slot to increase Thorns damage and Barrier. Additionally, it converts all skills from other Spirits used by the build into Gorilla Skills, allowing them to activate Gorilla-exclusive passives.

Secondary Spirit Bonus

The secondary Spirit Bonus again chooses Gorilla, which allows you to benefit from Loyalty’s Mantle while further improving defensive stats, and giving the build unlimited uptime.

Gear & Affixes

This build, while it does include BiS items, has relatively low gear requirements before getting up and running. The main thing needed is Unique Staff Sepazontec, and Runewords LithWat and XolKry.

Additional Strong Items

• Loyalty’s Mantle
• Razorplate

Additional Strong Aspects

The player should choose how to place Aspects on their gear based on which Aspects they currently have the highest rolls in.

• Aspect of Binding Morass
• Aspect of Adaptability
• Rapid Aspect
• Aspect of Moonrise
• Hectic Aspect
• Aspect of Endurance
• Aspect of Interdiction
• Aspect of Layered Wards

Stat Priority & Affixes

This build does not prioritize critical strike or suppression as the primary goal like most common builds. In this build, most stats can be gained through tempering.

• Thorns +3000%
• Armor to 1000 (after penalties)
• Resistances capped (after penalties)
• Health to 6000
• Rock Splitter Size +100%
• 160% Movement Speed
• 2000+ Dexterity
• Attack Speed ​​+100%
• Basic Damage +600%

Runewords & Gems

In this build, since the two main equipment slots are occupied by LithWat and XolKry, the space left for other Runewords and Gems is relatively limited. In order to maximize the use of the remaining slots, we need to choose and match them carefully.

For the slots in the armor, we recommend Emeralds in Armor for increased Dexterity, and Diamonds in Jewelry to help cap Elemental Resistance.

Mercenary & Reinforcement Hires

In this build, players are free to try different combinations according to their preferences and play style. This flexibility allows players to explore more possibilities and find the combat style that suits them best. However, for players who want to get started quickly and are looking for a plug-and-play build, we recommend considering using Raheir and Varyana.

In the reinforcement slot, choosing Varyana is a wise decision because her Ancient Harpoons Ability can effectively gather enemies and create more favorable conditions for Rock Splitter’s AoE.

In summary, for players who are looking for a novel experience and enjoy the challenge, Rock Splitter Thorns Build is undoubtedly a choice worth trying. Finally, no matter what items or equipment you are missing in the build process, you can pay attention to Giveaway channel in IGGM discord, which often releases Diablo 4 product giveaway information.

In Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred released on October 7, in order to live up to the expectations of players, the game developers not only added some new content: such as the new class Spiritborn and the new explorable area Nahantu, but also updated the main story based on Diablo 4 base game.

If you often play MMO games, you will find that the main story in these games is the key to stringing together the entire series of games, and the same is true in Diablo 4. besides some casual gameplay or some daily repetitive tasks that can farm Diablo 4 Gold, other world bosses and major events are often centered on the main story.

As an expansion of Diablo 4, the updated story content in Vessel of Hatred is essentially a continuation and supplement to the story of the base game. It should also play a role in filling the gaps in Diablo 4 story and paving the way for the new season or new DLC.

But does the update of the story in Vessel of Hatred really do these things? If you want to know, let’s find out together.

What Does The New Story Of Vessel Of Hatred Tell?

Diablo series of games is as dark and treacherous as its name leaves players with the impression that it is full of conspiracy and battles. The game is centered on Eternal Conflict between High Heavens and Burning Hells for Worldstone, and uses this conflict as the foreground and background of the story of each game in the series.

In Diablo 4, humans live in Sanctuary between Eternal Conflict. This setting not only emphasizes the importance of human movements in war, but also shows how humans will use their free will to influence this conflict through the subsequent development of the story.

In the updated story of Vessel of Hatred, the girl Neyrelle takes Soulstone containing Mephisto to the jungle area of ​​Nahantu, hoping to face Mephisto directly and prevent his influence from spreading further to Sanctuary.

In fact, this is basically the theme of the story in Vessel of Hatred. Because if you’ve experienced the expansion, you’ll find that a large part of the story is about chasing Neyrelle’s footsteps, hoping to find her before the corruption of Soulstone destroys her from the inside out.

Therefore, this storyline does not further portray the battle of High Heavens and Burning Hells, but focuses more on Neyrelle. It can be said that this is a smaller and more personal story compared to the stories in the previous few games.

On this basis, the newly added Nahantu area in DLC is a refreshing change, replacing the dark and endless despair in the previous Sanctuary with bright and saturated colors. And as a background location, it effectively complements the tribal theme of the story and sets off the special ability of the new Spiritborn class to use animal souls to gain supernatural powers.

In fact, you will find that the background of Vessel of Hatred has nothing to do with the main battle in the series of games. The people of Nahantu have always been working hard to defend their land.

This is where Eru, a key character in DLC, comes into play, as his greatest wish is to ensure that Nahantu is protected from Mephisto’s corruption. Unfortunately, he ultimately makes a deal with Mephisto for a variety of reasons, and loses everything for it.

There Is A Story Disconnect Between Vessel Of Hatred And Base Game Of Diablo 4

While the new story and setting of Vessel of Hatred gives players, a brief respite from Eternal Conflict and a chance to experience different areas and classes than before, it is precisely because of these elements that there is a certain disconnect between the story of the DLC and the main story of the base game of Diablo 4.

One of the biggest unresolved plot points in the story of the main campaign of Diablo 4 is that Neyrelle trapped the essence of Mephisto in Soustone and then disappeared without explaining the subsequent developments. Therefore, people were originally looking forward to the game makers to explain this plot point in Vessel of Hatred.

At the end of Vessel of Hatred, although Neyrelle is freed from her connection to Mephisto Soulstone, some dialogue confirms that she is still connected to Mephisto and will face him at some point in the future. In a sense, you can think that the unresolved plot point of Diablo 4 has been resolved, but this is not specific and complete enough to be convincing.

All the main story of Diablo 4 set up for the expansion Vessel of Hatred never fully resolved the plot holes left in the base game, but only extended its original ending. This also means that although Vessel of Hatred has many highlights, it still does not really continue the story of the base game.

However, this is not entirely a disadvantage for players. Since there is no strong coherence between the stories, players can directly enter the expansion without playing the main campaign of Diablo 4. This is good, but it also shows that the story of Vessel of Hatred is not very meaningful to the overall narrative of Diablo 4. However, we can also expect the game developers to release new expansions to resolve these unresolved plot points.

In Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred introduces a new type of currency to the game, Pale Marks. These marks are closely tied to Mercenary system, and as you level up Mercenaries in the game, you’ll be rewarded with a certain number of Pale Marks.

These companions will not only accompany you on your solo adventures, but they can also help you obtain powerful Legendary gear and Mercenary loot caches through Pale Marks they bring. Although the specific sources of Pale Marks are not clearly stated in the game, players can easily accumulate this currency in a variety of ways.

In addition, the design of the loot system does bring a lot of challenges to players, especially for those who are eager to obtain specific equipment. Take Shroud of False Death as an example. This chest armor has become one goal pursued by many players because of its powerful properties. But given its rarity and the uncertainty of the drop mechanism, obtaining it may require a certain amount of patience and strategy.

In order to increase the chances of obtaining this equipment, we provide players with three strategies that can be adopted. As for which is your best choice, it will mainly depend on your luck and the reagents you have to make it. Of course, besides accumulating resources through daily quests and activities, some players may consider using Diablo 4 Gold to speed up the process.

How To Get Pale Marks?

First, improving your relationship with Mercenaries is an important way to earn Pale Marks. Whenever you level up with a Mercenary’s Rapport, you will usually receive a batch of 100 to 200 coins. These coins can be used at Fayira in Den to obtain Legendary gear and loot caches.

Once you reach the maximum Rapport with a particular Mercenary, all XP you receive from that Mercenary will be converted into 200 Pale Marks. This means that once you have established the deepest relationship with a Mercenary, you can continue to gain Pale Marks by accumulating experience, and there is no upper limit to this process.

This mechanism applies to all mercenaries who have reached the highest Rapport. Pale Marks are account-bound resources, allowing players to use them on multiple characters.

How To Use Pale Marks?

The use of Pale Marks is relatively limited, and they are mainly redeemed through Fayira in Den. Players can use Pale Marks in Fayira’s shop to redeem various Diablo 4 Items, including Mercenary caches that unlock as Mercenary Rapport increases. Each character can unlock two bartering upgrades at Rapport 5 and 8.

If Fayira’s shop doesn’t have an item you’re interested in, you’ll have one free chance to reopen the barter shop each day, but each re-roll after that will cost 50 Pale Marks. Items in the shop usually cost between 20 and 50 Pale Marks, but aspect caches can cost slightly more on average.

Shroud Of False Death Explained

All classes can use this mythic unique chest armor, which has unparalleled properties and unique effects, providing the wearer with a bonus to all passive skills +1, all stats +160, and max life +800, making the wearer more powerful in battle.

In addition, when the wearer enters the invisible state, the damage of the next attack will be increased by 333%, which is a tremendous advantage for any class. Moreover, Shroud Of False Death also has the effect of resource generation +11.1%.

However, the real uniqueness of Shroud Of False Death is that if you do not cause damage within two seconds, it will make you enter the invisible state and provide 40% movement speed. This allows the wearer to dodge enemy attacks more flexibly in battle, while also making better use of the additional damage effect after entering the invisible state.

How To Get Shroud Of False Death?

There are three main ways to get Shroud Of False Death:

1. Craft It At The Blacksmith

Before you can craft Shroud Of False Death you first need to get 6 Bac Runes, 6 Moni Runes, 6 Kry Runes and 2 Resplendent Sparks. You can get these crafting materials by exploring and completing Kurast Undercity endgame content. In addition, Uber bosses are another good way to get crafting runes. These powerful enemies often drop rare runes and equipment.

As for Resplendent Sparks, you can get them through season journeys, or by defeating Uber bosses. Season journeys are a regularly updated game mode that provides additional challenges and rewards, including Resplendent Sparks.

2. Get It As A Boss Drop

You can also choose to farm the following bosses to get Shroud of False Death.

• Beast in the Ice
• Echo of Andariel
• Echo of Duriel
• Grigoire
• Lord Zir
• Varshan

While the drop rates from these bosses may not be the best, grinding these bosses may be the easiest way to get Shroud of False Death, although this may become tedious or time-consuming. But Shroud of False Death is a very useful piece of equipment for any profession, especially Spiritborn. Therefore, if you want to get this powerful equipment, you might as well try to challenge these bosses.

3. Gamble At Purveyor Of Curiosities

The introduction of the new Spiritborn class in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred is impressive, but it is just the starting point for a much larger action-RPG experience in the future. As Diablo 4 moves forward, we can expect more expansions and new playable classes that will not only provide healthy competition to the existing Spiritborn but also add more layers and depth to the game world.

However, it’s not clear what exactly these upcoming new classes will be. Given the growing trend of more and more classes in RPGs, developers are working hard to explore new ways to expand and develop the traditional class framework, which makes Diablo 4 have great potential for development in terms of new playable characters.

Especially for those players who seek to accumulate Diablo 4 Gold by mastering unique skills and strategies, new classes mean more challenges and opportunities.

With the next DLC, there is a clear direction worth exploring - introducing classes that have long been desired by players but have not yet appeared in the game, and in this way further improving the background of Diablo 4’s story.

Such a move not only satisfies the demand of hardcore fans for fresh content, but also attracts more new players to join this world full of challenges and adventures.

Vessel Of Hatred’s Ending Symbolizes Downfall Of Light

Although the story of Vessel of Hatred has caused a lot of controversy because of its open ending and incoherent plot development, it still points out a new direction for the storyline of the entire game.

At the end of Vessel of Hatred, the mortal body of Akarat, Shepherd of Light was captured by Mephisto and eventually became the Lord of Hatred’s new vessel. This transformation not only marks a major setback for the forces of light but also indicates that the next Diablo 4 expansion may explore a darker and more desperate world setting.

With Akarat, who was once regarded as an immortal being, falling into the hands of evil, the entire story seems to have come to a pessimistic end. But it is worth noting that there are hints in the game that Akarat has not completely disappeared, but continues to exist. This is reflected in his promise to Neyrelle, telling her that they will meet again.

This arrangement not only leaves players with hope but also sets the stage for the return of characters in the future. This background setting is particularly important considering the possibility of Neyrelle’s debut as a new class.

The Next New Class Should Preferably Be A Holy Knight

Unlike previous versions of the game, the traditional “sword and board” class has not been included in the game since the release of Diablo 4. Although many players called on the development team to include this classic class, the development team seems to prefer to create a more complex new class rather than simply copying the existing template.

However, this does not mean that a holy knight type of class will be absent from the series forever. Considering the overall story direction of Diablo 4 and the class settings that have appeared in previous works, it is still possible that a character with both offensive and defensive capabilities like a holy knight will appear in the future.

In the history of the Diablo series, a holy knight type of class has been reflected. For example, Diablo 2 introduced a Paladin class, and Diablo 3 continued the tradition with a Crusader class. This shows that the development team has a continued interest in this type of character that combines defensive and offensive capabilities. Therefore, it can be speculated that Diablo 4 may reshape similar classes based on new design concepts.

Considering that the story background of Vessel of Hatred hints at the return of Tyrael and the power needed to fight Mephisto, the next new class is likely to be a Paladin or Crusader-type class.

However, this new class will not be a simple copy, but will incorporate more innovative elements, such as the unique functions and diversity of the Spiritborn in Vessel of Hatred. Such a design can not only meet players’ expectations of classic character types, but also bring fresh experiences and deeper strategic choices to the game.

But because characters like a Paladin or Crusader-type class carry more than ten years of players’ emotions and memories, these classes in the new expansion face high expectations.

In order to satisfy a wide range of player preferences, they need to include some iconic skills and gameplay, such as Blessed Hammer spam or Captain America shield throws. This is not only a tribute to the classics but also the key to ensuring the freshness and depth of the characters.

In summary, the addition of this new profession not only can satisfy the long-standing players’ desire for classic character types, but also further enrich their action role-playing game experience while keeping the game fresh. As the game continues to move forward, we can expect more innovations and surprises.

Finally, no matter where you encounter difficulties in the game, you can pay attention to the Giveaway channel in the IGGM discord, which will release Diablo 4 related product giveaway information from time to time, and you can also discuss gameplay with players in the discord group.

It’s been well known that there have been some sort of secret levels in Diablo series since Diablo 1, secret hidden areas that you can access through a strange process. In Diablo 2, this would put you on a level where all the enemies were just cows. It was a pretty crazy thing and caused quite a stir on the internet at the time, at least.

In Diablo 3, this extended to Whimsyshire, an Easter egg level that was a direct homage to the previous Secret Cow Level.

As you can see, the developers tried to push the concept of hidden levels, with the visual theme and enemy theme being the exact opposite of how Diablo usually works, instead of scary evil demons, it’s just a bunch of colorful areas, which is a very interesting concept.

And considering that the base game of Diablo 4 has been out for over a year now and the developers still haven’t revealed the possibility of secret areas, it’s going to be quite a journey to find out if there is a Secret Cow Level in Season 6.

Here we will summarize all the progress on this topic, including how the player’s discoveries are connected to it reasonably, what this leads to, and some topics worth discussing. Let’s take a look!

How Did Secret Cow Level Work Before Season 6?

The recent breakthrough happened after Season 6 and the release of the expansion, and the new content introduced in the game reminded many players of the original three Relics and Cleansing process.

The three Relics in the previous game were Bloody Wooden Shard, Intricate Metallic Fragment, and Musty Tome, all of which came from killing cows. Specifically, if you kill 666 cows, you will get one of the above Relics, depending on the region you are in. Hawezar and Kejhistan will give you Bloody Wooden Shard when you kill the last cow, Musty Tome will drop from Scosglen or Fractured Peaks, and Metallic Fragment can only be found in Dry Steppes.

Then you have to go to Ked Bardu in Dry Steppes. The main town has a fountain, and to the east there are four bull statues. If you throw all the items into the fountain to cleanse and interact with each statue, then offer Relics to them. You will get an item called Strange Key.

A lot of players get stuck here for a long time before finding the next step. Actually, this Strange Key can open a place called Forlorn Hovel, which is located on the head of a bull to the east of Scosglen area. There is a secret seller here, and by spending your Diablo 4 Gold, you can get some key items that advance the level. Did you notice that this piece of the map looks a bit like cows? If you look from the top down, this is why so many people are looking for answers here, and they are correct.

If you have the key, then you can enter through this door and you will find a house filled with a lot of cows, and if you kill all of them, you will get Stamina Potion. This is not a noteworthy thing in itself, but considering the way the previous steps work, all assumptions are that this will lead to another step of Cow Level being unlocked, that is, this is where the clues are temporarily exhausted.

New Cow Level Clues

After nearly a year of nothing new to say about the mystery of Cow Level in the game, people just accepted the fact that, at least at that point, Secret Cow Level was simply inaccessible in Diablo 4 and that all the steps that could be taken had already been tried.

With the release of Season 6, data miners have discovered more steps that could eventually lead to Cow Level. Specifically, there’s an entire set of new Relics and a last reward, like Stamina Potion. All of Relics come from the new zone in this update, Nahantu, and are also much more complex than the original Cow Kill Counter. You can do it faster, though, if you know how.

Those new Relics are Rusted Old Bell, Gibbering Gemstone, and Crooked Staff.

Rusted Old Bell

Players must travel through Five Hills subzone, visiting 12 different bird statues before Rusted Old Bell appears as a drop from the last statue.

Gibbering Gemstone

Gibbering Gemstones can be obtained fairly quickly, and players only need to make a Thank emote in front of the three separate statues southwest of Kurast Docks.

Crooked Staff

This is one of the most difficult clues to get. To obtain Crooked Staff, players must defeat Elite Blood Lightning on the east side of Den in Great Shelf. The trick is that you can’t just defeat this fierce Lacuni and walk away with Relic. You have to completely reset your skills and abilities and disband your Mercenary, using only the basic attack skills that a level 1 character knows. If you want to make things easier, you can lower your difficulty level, as there are no negative effects on doing so.

How To Corrupt Relics?

Then, in contrast to the original Relics, you are not cleaning them; you are corrupting them. Doing this is also a process. It is recommended to do it on the normal difficulty level as well, and get rid of your Mercenary so that they don’t automatically kill the things you want to keep.

After that, you need to head to the location north of Ichorfall on the map to specifically get aggro from the enemies here called Cordycepic Zombie. Most enemies will lose aggro if you get too far from their spawn location, but these specific enemies will keep following you as long as you stay within their aggro range.

So basically you just have to slowly pull them from the first enemy on the map to the second identical enemy, and then take those two to the third.

If all three Cordycepic Zombies are following you, you need to gather them together and then kill them in the shortest time possible. You then have to throw all three Relics in your inventory onto their bodies and then Corrupt them. You’ll notice that after you do this, a kind of purple flame starts glowing from them, which means it was successful.

Rusted Bardiche

You then need to take them to a brazier puzzle at a specific location on the map. They don’t look too interactable when you get here, but if you have the corrupted item, you can actually interact with them to give the item and receive Unusual Key at the end.

This allows you to break down a hidden wall in a cellar located at a specific location on the map. When you enter the cellar, click on the wall in the last room and you’ll find a hidden extra room full of murderous cows, as there are also a bunch of killed villagers next to them. Once you kill the cows, you’ll receive Rusted Bardiche.

So that’s the new step for potential Secret Cow Levels in Diablo 4, and it’s obviously tied to the previous Relics step. So in theory, if you have Stamina Potion and Rusted Bardiche, be prepared for any new developments, as you can pretty much do any future developments.

Is Secret Cow Level Still Possible?

Anyway, that’s as far as we can go for now. Now that you know everything there is to know about Cow Levels in Diablo 4, that brings us to another important topic, which is why there’s currently no Cow Level in Diablo 4.

Despite the worrying amount of data mining that seems to have revealed some clues, everything so far proves that Diablo 4’s secret level simply doesn’t exist, or at least if it’s coded to exist, we don’t have a way to access it yet.

As a player, we are now almost a year and a half past the release of the game, and while there are a lot of dangling clues and puzzle pieces that point to the existence of a Cow Level, functionally speaking, this often resonates throughout Diablo 4, especially the new stages.

Although they may want to expand Secret Cow Level into multiple expansions, making you actually pay for each expansion to actually get Cow Level. So who knows when we will actually get Cow Level? If we do get it, maybe it will be a year later, maybe it will be two years later, maybe we will never actually get Cow Level and it will just be a gimmick to rediscover the attention.

What do you think about this? Do you think it is possible for us to wait for the real Secret Cow Level in Diablo 4?
