Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred has been launched for a while now, and most players must have explored most of the mechanisms and content in the expansion. On this basis, you will definitely not be unfamiliar with the mercenary mechanism.

As an important mechanism in Diablo 4 DLC, mercenaries can serve as effective auxiliary NPCs to help players fight. They have their own unique skills and specialties, which can help players deal with different enemies and combat scenarios. Although unlocking them requires Diablo 4 Gold and some slightly complicated steps, their value is worth it.

There are 4 mercenaries in Vessel of Hatred, namely Raheir, Aldkin, Varyana and Subo. Players can choose and unlock up to 2 of them as their helpers in the game. Although the system will not limit your choice, you must want to choose as powerful or suitable mercenaries as possible.

Based on this, we have ranked these four mercenaries from low to high according to their specific performance in Vessel of Hatred for players’ reference and selection.

4. Aldkin

Before the mercenary mechanism was officially launched, Aldkin was anticipated because of his interesting design. Unfortunately, his performance in actual combat was not outstanding. His main skill, Blasphemous Fate, allows him to transform into a demon for 22 seconds and gives him new abilities.

However, during his transformation, not only nearby enemies but also your game character will become vulnerable, and then consume your resources when you cause damage to the enemy. And his transformation is random. So if these problems cannot be optimized, then using Aldkin will be a bit of a loss.

Even if the build or skills you use in battle do not depend on the amount of resources, Aldkin is still unsatisfactory as a companion. Although his Flame Surge skill tree has a chance to cause high damage to the enemy, when facing the higher level Torment difficulty, the damage he outputs is even far less than your own output.

Aldkin does get some pleasant benefits in Haunt skill tree, such as daze, slow or stun, which debuff enemies, but other mercenaries can do similar things. Aldkin may be effective in the early game, but his equipment lacks practicality and his overall potential is low, which makes him the lowest ranking of the four mercenaries.

3. Varyana

Varyana’s core skill Massacre allows both your game character and Varyana to stack massacres when killing enemies, and gain additional movement speed bonuses when stacking to a certain level. This effect can be stacked up to 100 times, at which point the movement speed can even increase by 20%.

If you are using a Build or Class with poor mobility and lack of speed, the benefits provided by Varyana’s skills are undoubtedly helpful. But if you already have strong mobility, Varyana is not the best choice among mercenaries for you.

In Varyana’s Cleave skill tree, she can bleed enemies, giving you another attack speed buff, and applying vulnerability, or a debuff that reduces the amount of damage dealt to nearby enemies. In her Shockwave skill tree, Varyana knocks down enemies multiple times, giving you different combat bonuses by knocking down those she controls.

But no matter which skill tree, Varyana is still more focused on enhancing the player’s mobility rather than damage output. Although both skill trees provide enough utility, if you need a mercenary with stronger damage, Varyana is relatively ordinary. However, if you are mainly lacking in movement speed or mobility skills, you can definitely add her to your team.

2. Subo

From a practical point of view, Subo is very similar to Varyana, and he can also provide players with some damage, crowd control and other buffs. However, what makes Subo special is his main skill Seeker.

This skill marks all nearby enemies and game materials on the minimap. Every 20 seconds Subo will mark a random enemy, and killing a marked enemy will help you restore 50% of your resources and reduce the cooldown of Seeker by 10 seconds. This skill is very useful if you want to farm Diablo 4 Gold or other game materials during Helltide.

In fact, no matter which mercenary, they are not designed as helpers for damage output, so their usefulness depends on how much they help in providing support. Whether it is other buffs or the help provided by Seeker skills, Subo has become the second-ranked mercenary.

Of course, Subo is not completely unable to provide damage buffs. For example, his Wire Trap skill tree provides slowing, knocking down and immobilization effects, while Molotov series has slowing, knocking down and increasing continuous damage effects. And if you hire him while playing a Poison or Bleed-based Build, the effect will be even better.

1. Raheir

Raheir is currently the most powerful mercenary in Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred. He can provide players with considerable damage reduction effects, as well as healing, enhancements, and debuffs. He can be said to be a powerful mercenary because he is very comprehensive.

His main skill, Valiance, has a great support effect. When you take damage that reaches 15% of your current health, Raheir’s skill will offset the damage you take and knock down nearby enemies, while you will be invincible on the battlefield for 0.5 seconds.

In addition, most of Raheir’s skills in both skill trees have certain practical or support effects. For example, his shield charge line can bring you a variety of benefits such as strengthening, deceleration, additional armor, damage reduction taunts, and which ones you can get depends on the specific skills you choose. This makes Raheir’s practicality shocking, easily surpassing other mercenaries and becoming the first.

The above is our ranking of the four mercenaries based on their overall performance. Of course, the ranking is just a reference. In actual combat, players need to make a comprehensive choice based on their own needs and situations to select the mercenary that suits them best.

In addition, if you want to know more about Diablo 4 DLC content, you can enter IGGM Discord to communicate with others. The channel is currently holding the fifth giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season of Hatred Rising, which will last until November 11.

On the last day of this lottery, 20 players will be drawn to share 5000 Andariel Materials, 5000 Duriel Materials, 20000 Living Steel and 20000 Exquisite Blood on average. You can participate by leaving your favorite reaction emoji! Believe in your luck, and act quickly!

Diablo 4 does not contain complex puzzles mechanics, but its new Vessel of Hatred DLC has changed this situation and introduces a series of puzzle chests. And brazier puzzle remains one of them.

Whether you choose the new class Spiritborn as your character, or continue with the familiar class, you are bound to deal with these braziers, eventually.

Brazier puzzle serves as a part of the main questline “All Good Things”. Only by solving this puzzle can you continue the journey. It also shows up in any standard cellar, making it pretty hard to track down. And the even tricker problem comes to the method to figure it out.

This article introduces the detailed solution of brazier puzzle, paving the path for you to complete the main questline and continue your game journey.

Origin Of Brazier Puzzle

If you are not familiar with the puzzles, then you may feel confused and tricky about its one. But if you excel in solving puzzles and have a deeper study and exploration of puzzles, you will find the fact that this puzzle actually has its own origin and source.

Brazier puzzle is essentially a remake of the electronic puzzle game “Lights Out” released by Tiger Electronics in 1995, which requires you to light all braziers to claim the prize. Although it sounds simple, for those players who are not equipped with enough puzzle knowledge, this task becomes a tough challenge.

Solution To Brazier Puzzle

Once you have successfully tracked this puzzle down, whether during the journey looking for Akarat’s tomb or searching cellars for treasure, please get ready for straining your head.

The overall game rules are very simple, lighting up all braziers to open the door at the far end of the room. Based on the design of the game, when you light one brazier, the state of two braziers directly approaching it–but not diagonal to it–will be changed simultaneously.

In other words, if the adjacent braziers are previously lit, they will be extinguished after you light the target brazier. This is also the trickiest part of the entire process.

In “All Good Things” questline, since there are only four braziers, the overall difficulty is reduced. The one-step solution is to imagine these four braziers as points on a compass. The brazier closest to the entrance is the southern one, and the brazier closest to the exit is the northern one. Then light them up in the following order:

• West
• South
• West
• North
• East
• West

This way you can light up all the braziers effortlessly. If you have messed up the order before getting this answer, you need to exit the game and reset it to help you get back to the previous step. Then solve the puzzle in the order stated above.

Or if you are usually very interested in solving puzzles, you can also try to solve it yourself to add a little fun and challenge to your thrilling game journey.

In the process of solving the puzzle, you must also prevent the enemy’s attack. But overall, these bad guys are not too troublesome and are relatively easy to defeat. If you choose to seek to the correct order by trial and error, then it will drastically intensify the danger that you are going to encounter.

Once you have accomplished this puzzle smoothly, the way leading to the next stage will be automatically unlocked and you are available to access to the last trial and Akarat’s tomb with Eru and Neyrelle.

All Good Things Questline

All Good Things serves as the main questline that is exclusive to Vessel of Hatred DLC. Completing “In His Footsteps” quest will automatically unlock “All Good Things”.

As a main quest, players must complete a specific storyline to get the eligibility to the next difficulty level. And you are required to accomplish the challenges lie below:

• Enter Tomb of Akarat

• Defend Neyrelle while she accomplishes the trial
• Speak with Eru
• Slay Forgotten Warden
• Enter Burial Chamber with Eru and Neyrelle
• Survive the Onslaught
• Collect Akarat’s Power
• Slay Harbinger of Hate
• Speak with Neyrelle
• Head to Reflection’s Edge by portal

Solving the brazier puzzle earns you the right to enter Burial Chamber with Eru and Neyrelle.

Rewards For Completing All Good Things

• 1,321,962 XP
• 29,400 Diablo 4 Gold

After successfully completing All Good Things, Vessel of Hatred expansion is basically over. Want to know the ending? Then figure out the puzzle to search for the answer by yourself.

That’s the way to figure out the brazier puzzle in Vessel of Hatred DLC. If you have not mastered the keys, then reset this part and try the order that mentioned above to kick off the next journey.

If you encounter any difficulties in the game, welcome to enter IGGM discord and take part in discussion actively, and there will be exquisite gifts given from time to time on Giveaway channel. Thanks for reading.

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred brings players a brand new adventure, not only deepening the game’s story background but also greatly enriching the game’s content by introducing the character of Neyrelle and her exploration journey in Nahantu jungle.

In addition, the expansion also adds a very powerful profession - Spiritborn, which has attracted the attention of many players with its unique skills and combat style. Vessel of Hatred has also made a lot of optimizations and improvements to the basic game experience, making the whole game smoother and more attractive.

However, besides the obvious changes mentioned above, Vessel of Hatred has quietly added three new monster families, bringing players an unprecedented challenge experience. The three newly added monsters are Hollows, Dregs, and Lacuni. Although Lacuni is not a completely unfamiliar existence, it has made a brief appearance in the previous game. Read this guide to learn more about each new monster family.

Hollows

The birth of Hollows is closely related to Neyrelle’s adventure. As Neyrelle travels deep into the mysterious jungles of Nahantu, she accidentally touches Mephisto’s soul stone and is burned by the powerful corruption it emanates.

In an attempt to ease the pain, she dips her injured hand and soul stone into water in an attempt to cool them down. However, this action has an unexpected consequence, as Mephisto’s corruption quickly spreads across the entire Nahantu region.

Over time, this black, tar-like corruption gradually coalesces and forms into Hollows. These creatures, made of corrupt matter, are numerous and extremely aggressive, and they begin to pose a great threat to the people and cities in the surrounding area.

Players will first encounter this new family of monsters shortly after meeting Raheir. With such powerful and strange enemies, it may be a good idea to obtain more Diablo 4 Gold to equip your character faster.

Dregs

Another new family of monsters that attracts attention are Dregs. Unlike other creatures in the game, Dregs are not born monsters, but are actually once humans. These unfortunate souls were driven into a state of uncontrollable psychosis by tasting a hallucinogen found in Nahantu’s flora and fauna.

Over time, these once normal humans gradually lost their minds and became one enemy that players face in the game today. They roam the deep jungles of Nahantu and have become a threat that cannot be ignored.

Lacuni

Lacuni are the only creatures that are familiar to veteran players of the series. However, this race has undergone significant changes throughout the development of Diablo series, and has undergone major adjustments and evolutions in both appearance and combat style, making their return a familiar and fresh experience for players.

Lacuni are highly intelligent and aggressive feline bipedal creatures, commonly referred to as “Panther-men” or “Sabre Cats.”

Lacuni social structure is similar to the group model of lions, showing the characteristics of a patriarchal society. In this system, male Lacuni are usually more robust and stronger, which makes them naturally take on the role of leaders in the tribe. In contrast, female Lacuni have shown excellent hunting skills and become an indispensable female hunter within the family.

The origins of Lacuni can be traced back to Kehjistan, where they originally maintained a relatively harmonious relationship with humans. There was frequent exchange of goods between the two races, forming a mutually beneficial situation. However, the good times did not last long.

As time went by, especially around Darkening of Tristram, because of some unknown reasons, the relationship between the two sides deteriorated sharply, and Lacuni began to show strong hostility towards the surrounding world. Since then, this once friendly race has gradually developed into one of the most well-known and threatening existences in Diablo series.

In Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, this classic monster family appears again. This time they appear in Teganze Plateau area of ​​the new Nahantu region. Here, Lacuni will not only use traditional melee weapons to attack but also use long-range means such as javelins and throwing grenades to fight against players who dare to enter their territory.

It is worth noting that Lacuni first appeared in Diablo 2, and it is particularly appropriate that they return this time and become one of the main enemies of Nahantu - because Nahantu is also one map that was first introduced to the game world in Diablo 2.

This design consistency not only enhances the consistency of the storyline of the entire series but also makes old players feel familiar, while also attracting new players to explore more about the story behind this world.

By introducing these new monster families, Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred not only provides players with a richer and more diverse gaming experience but also deepens the game’s story background and worldview. Hollows, Dregs, and Lacuni each have unique background stories and combat styles.

Their existence not only increases the complexity and challenge of the game but also brings new exploration fun to players. In order to defeat them more easily, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord, which will release information about Diablo 4 related products from time to time. Remember to be active in the discord group.

Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC introduces a ton of enemies to defeat and loot to collect, and the roster of all-new bosses can demonstrate this point.

No matter what class you have chosen, be it the debut Spiritborn or one of five previous classes, these overwhelming bosses serve as the ultimate test for your builds as you pushing forward the brand new campaign in the region of Nahantu in Sanctuary.

This guide details each boss that is exclusive to Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, along with the specific location that they nestle.

Enkindled Judicator

Enkindled Judicator serves as the first boss appearing in “Pursuit of Justice” main mission. It shows up in the burning ruins of Windswept Cabinas as bulking soldier.

The primary weapon of this rookie boss is a big hammer. It’s slow to swing, but it hits hard. Also, watch out for its fire attack. Overall, it’s pretty easy to deal with.

Abhorrent Manifestation

Just like what its name has disclosed, this boss is designed as a terrifying horror. You will encounter it during “Enmity Rising” mission as you trespass Hollows part.

Abhorrent Manifestation is primarily good at melee attacks. While it does less damage overall, it is noticeable that it is available to summon Minion Hollows for help.

Nangari Deathworker

You are gonna to meet Nangari Deathworker as you progress the quest of “Thrust into the Dark”. It features a giant Nangari, so it undoubtably excels in melee and AOE poison damage. If you want to win this fight easily, it is recommended to equip some necessary items that can offset this damage by spending some Diablo 4 Gold.

Vesicator

After slaying the first wave of Frothers, Vesicator will make an appearance in the form of a giant, hulking monstrosity of muscle and tentacles. You may encounter it on the radar of “The Heart of All Rot” quest.

This monster is particularly excellent at attacking with its tentacled arms, which causes poison damage. In addition, it can also summon annoying Regurgitator minions to help him deal with some troubles.

Awoken Dead

On the way to complete “Fundament of Faith” mission, you can find this short and fat horror in Forgotten Chamber.

In addition to some basic attack damage, Awoken Dead is also equipped with overwhelming lighting attacks to cast fatal damage. And Shambling Corpses will occasionally appear to help this boss.

Ah Bulan, Mender Of Veils

You may be surprised and astonished as you see this boss. Ah Bulan, Mender of Veils, is one of the most memorable bosses in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC.

You will meet this four-legged beast in Spirit Realm in the period of accomplishing “Across the Threshold” mission. Armed with a spear and shield, Ah Bulan is good at both offense and defense.

He is available to cast stomping attacks and has two powerful clones accompanying him to provide assistance at any time.

Eidolon Of Julian

Eidolon of Julian is encountered in the quest of “Living Memory”. After searching Buried Chamber, you are required to fight with this towering red spirit.

Eidolon of Julian can summon mini-tornadoes that are designed to significantly hinder player eyesight while caught inside.

Urivar

In the questline of “Burning Crusade”, players are going to descend into Knight’s Encampment dungeon where nestles Urivar.

Urivar is an armor-clad boss who excels in melee attacks. He also has his army of knights to summon.

Priestess Of Hatred

Priestess of Hatred nestles in a befouled Clearing in Hierophant Pyre. You are needed to defeat her in “The Way Out Is Through” mission.

She features A vicious, grotesque monster. Despite its size, it moves and attacks pretty quickly. Of particular note is blood magic, which features a powerful beam that shining the battlefield.

Dread Captain

Players will come to Seta O-Akha in the period of completing “In His Footsteps” mission. You will then engage in a fight with Dread Captain.

With a massive pillar holding in his hand, Dread Captain primarily attacks with ice damage. In addition, there will be a Water Watcher that casts poison attacks from distance to support Dread Captain.

Harbinger Of Hatred

In the end, here comes the last boss in Vessel of Hatred DLC - Harbinger of Hatred. And you witness the strength of it during finishing “All Good Things” mission in Domain of Mephisto.

Harbinger of Hatred features A malevolent dragon-like entity. During the fight, waves of enemies will appear in a small arena. This demon has 2 stages. It is recommended to use Akarat’s buffs to effectively resist.

Harbinger of Hatred, as the ultimate boss, is inherently challenging. If you are absent of defensive skills or builds that can keep you alive or heal, then it is recommended to lower the difficulty to World Tier 1.

Each act in Diablo 4 is fascinating with its rich story and challenges. They are not a short and simple adventure. In fact, they are designed to be quite substantial and varied, and it usually takes more than one night to complete the entire content.

The length of each act varies, which also means that some parts may be more time-consuming or more challenging than others, but overall the whole storyline is full of appeal and players can enjoy the process of each link.

It is worth noting that Diablo 4 also contains numerous side quests to explore, and completing these quests can sometimes earn Diablo 4 Gold, which is also helpful for improving the strength of the character. However, it is recommended that you should focus on completing the main quests first. The character level cap is 50 before the main quest, so directly jumping into the side quests may cause progress to be blocked.

Below, I will take you to understand the overall ranking of each act.

6. Act 3

The third act is the only chapter in Diablo 4 that feels boring to players, and it is also the longest act in the entire game. It contains 16 main quests that may just let players run from one location to another, lacking substantial content and depth. This design makes the game boring in this part, and players can’t even be blamed for choosing to play podcasts to kill time, because the story itself seems meaningless.

However, this chapter is not completely without highlights. There are some interesting characters that need to be developed, such as Lillith and Elias. Their story background and motivations could have added more depth and appeal to the game.

However, instead of using these more lengthy acts to provide players with more background information about these two opponents, it ends up feeling like a waste of time. This may be because the development team focused too much on the development of the storyline during the creation process, and ignored the playability and fun of the game.

5. Act 4

The fourth act is a relatively compact chapter in Diablo 4, consisting of six main quests, which provides players with enough content to make an informed judgment. In stark contrast to the lengthy third act, the pace of this chapter is significantly accelerated, which is very beneficial for maintaining the player’s interest and motivation.

Many characters that appeared in the early stages of the game appear again in this chapter, bringing players a familiar yet fresh experience. The last battle is a duel with Andariel, and this boss battle is particularly important because it involves multiple characters from the previous acts. If more time is given to unfold the stories of these characters, the entire chapter may be richer and more fascinating.

For players who are eager to advance the plot, you may be surprised at how quickly you complete this chapter. In addition, Mounts are also introduced in the fourth act, which provides great convenience for players when traversing the vast game world, especially horses are very useful for long-distance travel.

4. Act 1

The first act contains 19 main quests, which not only bring players into fierce battles faster but also provide players with flexible game order choices.

There is an epilogue before the battle begins. In the short prologue, the protagonist wakes up in a dark woods and prepares to embark on a journey to Kyovashad. From here, players are allowed a certain amount of freedom in the order in which they complete the quests. For example, some may complete Acts 2 and 3 before completing the introductory chapter.

A key highlight of this act is that it introduces players to some of the key characters in the game, with Neyrelle’s story being particularly prominent. Her bond with her mother and her backstory gives the character a deep emotional foundation, allowing players to become more engaged with her journey.

3. Act 2

In Diablo 4’s second act, players will face 17 main quests. The climax of this act is the battle against the greatest enemy of the main quest, Astaroth. This epic boss battle is not only a contest of strength, but also a conflict of emotions.

There is a fascinating thread in the story that tells of Donan’s relationship with two druids and their journey together to defeat Astaroth when they were young. Unfortunately, over time, the two druids came under the influence of Lilith, who brought Astaroth back for this decisive battle.

Donan’s tragedy is that Astaroth was brought back using his son as a vessel, which makes Donan take on the stakes of the end of the world on a more personal level. This deep emotional entanglement and moral dilemma adds more depth and complexity to the game.

2. Act 5

In Diablo 4’s fifth act, players will face 22 main quests. This act is a major turning point in the game, uniting the characters from the first half and really allowing the story to begin to develop. Although it is a long chapter, numerous events occur, and players need to move to various corners of the map to complete various quests.

A major focus of this chapter is Elias and his apparent immortality. Players will encounter Tree of Whispers and eventually help find Elias’s weakness. This process is full of challenges and surprises, and gives players a deeper understanding of Elias’ true identity.

“Beneath the Wine-Dark Sea” quest is a particular highlight of this chapter. In this quest, players are teleported to Epiphysis via a coffin, and this teleportation method is reminiscent of the weirdness of Diablo’s fantasy aesthetic. Even though it’s dark, sometimes players are transported to another world by lying in a coffin, which adds to the mystery and interest of the game.

1. Act 6

Although the number of quests included in Diablo 4’s Act 6 is relatively small, with only ten main quests, this chapter is undoubtedly the climax of the entire game. In this act, players will go deep into the heart of Hell while enjoying cinematic visuals and narrative techniques.

For players who criticized the previous acts for perhaps lacking purpose and depth in expanding the world and lore, Act 6 provides a swift and powerful turn. In this chapter, the character of Lilith finally gets some much-needed character development, and her motivations and backstory become clearer and more engaging. Especially her conversation with Inarius.

In the second stage of the boss battle with Lilith, Lilith destroys parts of the game area, making the battle space smaller and smaller until there is almost no room to move. After spending a long time with characters such as Donan, Neyrelle, and Lorath, Act 6 makes players feel that they are a united team fighting together against the armies of Hell.

Knowing this basic information will help you better prepare for the upcoming challenges. In addition, in order to complete these activities more easily, you can pay attention to Giveaway channel in IGGM discord, which will release information about Diablo 4 related products from time to time. Remember to be more active in the discord group.

In Diablo 4 series of games, Paragon Board is a very important game mechanism. Because, after unlocking it, players can use the corresponding points to further unlock some board nodes, thereby effectively improving the various attributes of their game characters.

From the first season to the latest season Season of Hatred Rising, in order to make Paragon Board play a more comprehensive role in the game to help players fight, the game makers are constantly updating and optimizing it. But in Season 6, we found that not every update of Paragon Board brings benefits.

After actually experiencing the new Paragon Board mechanism in the new season, many players said that it has become more complicated to manage than in the past, which has hindered players to varying degrees whether they want to plan the use of their Diablo 4 Gold or want to further improve the proficiency of skill operations.

Therefore, we will give some improvement suggestions based on some shortcomings reflected by Paragon Board after the current update.

The Current Status Of Paragon Board In Season 6

When players upgrade their game characters to level 50 in Season of Hatred Rising, Paragon Board will be unlocked, and players will then receive some corresponding Paragon Points. These points can be used to fill in nodes on the board, thereby unlocking more other nodes related to abilities, attributes, and character characteristics in order to enhance the strength of the character.

Currently, there are several types of nodes in the game: Normal Paragon Nodes, Magical Paragon Nodes, Rare Paragon Nodes, or Legendary Paragon Nodes. However, through in-game testing, you will find that most nodes are just “fillers”, and their consumption of points is only to reach the useful nodes you want in the end.

Obviously, this not only makes the node upgrade process lengthy but also makes players feel that a considerable part of the points are wasted. After all, their consumption can only be exchanged for a few attribute upgrades.

And in terms of the rewards provided by Paragon Board, there are even considerable differences between different Classes. Some Classes have a lot of Rare Paragon Nodes, or Legendary Paragon Nodes to unlock, while others focus on trying to get Glyphs as hard as possible.

Of course, Glyphs also provide rewards or special buffs, but Glyphs are difficult to obtain, and it is also a hassle to determine which Glyphs are more worthy to obtain. Because they are arranged by level and alphabetically in the game, if you want to know what each Glyph helps, you have to check them one by one by hovering the mouse over each Glyph.

The entire process of collecting and using nodes in Season 6 is currently frustrating, complicated, and a waste of time. Because it hardly provides any substantial progress for players.

Improvement Suggestions

Based on the shortcomings reflected in the current situation, our main improvement suggestions for Paragon Board are to remove most of the points required for players to unlock nodes, making the path to earning nodes clearer and simpler. This will not only make it easier to earn nodes but also allow players to get more rewards faster.

Because in this way, players can achieve the same results as before with fewer nodes, and the relevant views of Paragon Board may also look more intuitive, logical, and simpler. It helps to solve the excessive Paragon Board workload that the original game brought to players.

The second suggestion is to redesign Glyphs, because the current related progress system can be said to be meaningless and can hardly provide effective help to players. The improvement idea we provide is to set Glyphs as the center of all unlockable nodes, and make Glyphs the final key content by gradually unlocking other nodes of different levels, making the entire system more logical.

In addition, the matching and connection between Classes and Paragon Board may also need to be fully redesigned. For example, Legendary Paragon Nodes should be applicable to each Class, and the benefits of using nodes should not be set too different from each other, to avoid an imbalance in the game experience between players of different Classes and affect the evaluation of the game.

Although Paragon Board in the sixth season Season of Hatred Rising is currently insufficient, it is not unchangeable. If the game makers listen to the feedback from players in time and make some effective improvements and optimizations for this mechanism, I believe Paragon Board can provide more help to players.

The above is the reflection of some shortcomings of the current Paragon Board mechanism and some improvement suggestions we have envisioned. If you want to know more related content, you can enter IGGM Discord. Today is the last day of the fourth giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season of Hatred Rising. Hurry up and participate!

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.

Loot - According To Class

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.

Upgrading a character in Diablo 4 can be a rewarding process, but it can be challenging. Players explore a vast and complex world, face powerful enemies, and search for valuable equipment to enhance their strength.

However, without the right strategy, this process can become time-consuming and tedious. In order to level up your character more efficiently without wasting precious time. This article will explore some practical character leveling tips and strategies.

Complete Quests And Events

One of the most effective strategies for quickly leveling up your character in Diablo 4 is to focus on completing quests and actively participating in world events. Main and side quests are the main source of a large amount of experience points, so they should always be prioritized in the game.

Don’t ignore those random dynamic world events, as they can not only provide additional experience rewards but also drop useful equipment or Diablo 4 Gold to help enhance your character’s strength.

In order to better use these opportunities to speed up the leveling process, it is recommended that players plan their game time and route selection reasonably. For some more tough challenges, you can consider teaming up with other players to deal with them together, which not only increases the success rate but also allows you to enjoy the fun of teamwork.

In addition, it is also important to regularly sort out the clutter in your backpack, and clear out items that are no longer needed in time to make room for more important discoveries.

Optimize Character Build And Improve Combat Efficiency

Besides completing tasks and participating in world events, optimizing the character build and improving combat efficiency are also key factors for rapid upgrades. In order to achieve the best results, players need to choose the right combination of skills and talents according to their own play style, and focus on improving synergies in damage output or survivability.

One of the most effective strategies is to use area-of-effect (AoE) attacks to quickly clear numerous enemies. This type of attack can not only eliminate multiple enemies at once but also gain a large amount of experience points in a short period. It is also important to pay attention to the reasonable allocation of resources to ensure that there is enough mana to support the continuous use of these powerful skills.

In addition, it is equally important to upgrade your equipment regularly. As the level increases, the enemies you face will become more and more powerful. By wearing better weapons, armor and other items, you can significantly enhance the overall combat effectiveness of your character.

Last but most important, it is crucial to spend time researching and adjusting your build. Each class has its own unique characteristics and development path, and only by understanding and taking advantage of these advantages can you realize your maximum potential.

Join A Player Group Or Community

For players who want to focus on fast leveling, joining a player group or community to find a squad specially formed for this purpose is also an effective strategy for fast leveling.

Such groups are usually made up of people with similar goals, and everyone can make plans together, such as focusing on conquering high-experience quests or participating in specific world events. By playing with friends or other like-minded players, you can face more challenging content together and level up faster than if you act alone.

Joining an active player community also allows you to share and learn various tips and strategies with other excellent players, helping you avoid common mistakes and optimize your game style. Some communities also organize regular in-game product giveaways. For example, IGGM discord has been doing a giveaway for Diablo 4 Season 6. Just leave your favorite emoji to participate in the lottery.

Utilize Diablo 4 Boosting Services

For leveling up efficiently in Diablo 4, professional Diablo 4 Boosting services are an option worth considering. Such services are usually provided by experienced players who can help you complete hard tasks and events in the game, or even play on your behalf to help you quickly level up.

With the help of professional boosting services, you will not have to invest a lot of time that is usually required. These experienced players are familiar with all aspects of the game, including the most efficient leveling path, the best combat strategies, and how to maximize resource utilization. They can provide you with valuable guidance, help you avoid common mistakes, and ensure that your game progress is as smooth as possible.

Of course, while utilizing boosting services can speed up leveling, over-reliance may affect your overall understanding and enjoyment of the game. Therefore, it is recommended to use boosting services as a supplementary means, rather than the only way to level up.

In short, quickly upgrading your character in Diablo 4 requires not only strategy and planning but also the use of resources inside and outside the game. I wish you a joyous adventure in the world of Diablo 4 and reach your target level as soon as possible!

Diablo 4 has always been compared to Path of Exile, because the source of inspiration of the latter comes from Diablo 2 and they share the same ARPG roots. Although the two games have many similarities, there are also some important differences, such as the aspect of ARPG core gameplay loop.

In terms of the presentation of game content, Diablo 4 and Path of Exile have also developed in their own ways, with the former giving much emphasis in reinvention, while the latter pays much attention to the persistent improvement over the course of more than 10 years.

New Vessel of Hatred expansion of Diablo 4 has introduced one of the most polished and overwhelming classes - Spiritborn, which features a variety of different combinations of skills and powerful builds that can be chosen. But the addition of this new class has caused players to discuss character construction, especially the comparison of class design of Path of Exile. This issue is more prominent.

Kurast Undercity in Vessel of Hatred campaign provides new inspiration and reference points for the upcoming Path of Exile 2, which is bound to cause a new wave of discussion.

This article mainly discusses the comparison and discussion between the game and Path of Exile caused by the addition of Spiritborn and Kurast Undercity in Vessel of Hatred.

Path of Exile Offers A Recipe For Class Design

Spiritborn has undoubtedly become the first choice for the majority of players. Whether in terms of character strength or game experience, Spiritborn has been widely praised. For game developers, it is the most beneficial choice to introduce more classes in subsequent series.

But if the seventh class is really introduced, Diablo 4 risks overshadowing all other classes like what Spiritborn did. This undoubtedly puts the character mechanism into a dead end and invites complaints among players.

Therefore, Diablo 4 needs to draw lessons from Path of Exile, and achieve innovation and balance of classes by adding two or more subclasses to each class. And that is to say Path of Exile’s class system is exactly what Diablo 4 is desperate for.

Ascendancy system contributes to the base ground of Path of Exile, which features three specializations for each base class.

Path of Exile features seven base classes and 19 Ascendancy classes. This is enough to support the creation of more build options.

Each Ascendancy class is designed to offer the base classes with new, multiple power-ups, which are not available to be unlocked at once. Therefore, players may repeatedly make the same class and constantly try new builds to fully utilize the character’s potential.

Path of Exile’s subclasses mechanism supports character customization, which features a three-dimensional imagine. This design is easier said than done, not to mention that Diablo 4 has never tried it before. But we still expect a huge ideological update in class designs for Diablo series.

Spiritborn and Druid in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC attracted comparisons early on, and were considered having too many similarities. Therefore, whether it is to innovate new classes or adjust existing classes, the problem of class design is very urgent.

Kurast Undercity Is The Epitome Of Endgame

Here is what Path of Exile should learn from Vessel of Hatred DLC - Kurast Undercity endgame mechanic.

Kurast Undercity serves as one of two new contents of endgame at the end of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred campaign. It is a timed trial with adjustable difficulty and rewards.

Players can not only run Kurast Undercity according to the basic settings of the game, but also add multiple modifiers to increase the difficulty and customize the type and quality of rewards they receive. This is especially applicable to those players who have gotten the deep known of various new Torment difficulty levels and excel the potential of their builds by devoting some Diablo 4 Gold.

Kurast Undercity brings players a customizable gaming experience. Under the assistance of modifiers, players can challenge various difficulties and continue to dig out more new things. The difficulty is proportional to the rewards obtained. This mechanism makes players willing to spend time and effort to embrace those charming loot.

But it is not the same case in Path of Exile. In the endgame, Path of Exile is pretty demanding in the aspects of currency investment for high-end content such as T16 or T17 Maps. Generally speaking, the best loot usually appears at the end of the game or even after fighting the ultimate boss, unless you use those gears with farming-specific affixes.

Path of Exile only provides 6 chances to clear each map, which is a rather strenuous task for most players. Especially regarding the endgame content, it often makes players feel stressed and frustrated because it is too difficult.

But on the other side, Kurast Undercity reward players even better loot and class-specific Uniques, which makes players surprised and exciting.

Because, in the upcoming Path of Exile 2, we expect an endgame mode that is similar to highly customizable Kurast Undercity and gives us more encouraging contents and rewards.

Path of Exile 2 has received much attention recently, and the activities like Kurast Undercity can not only attract new players but also refresh old players. Even if it adopts a paid model, it is worth a try.

The above is the content about Spiritborn and Kurast Undercity in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC that has aroused much discussion. For more real-time consultation, please enter IGGM discord, and there will often be raffles held in Giveaway channel. Thanks for reading.
