In Diablo 4, you will encounter many bosses, some of which will sit in the arena and wait for your challenge, while others require you to use some specific summoning materials and summon them at a specific summoning location before you can start the battle.

In this game, there are many summoning materials, but the most important one is Stygian Stones, because it can summon higher-level Tormented variants of bosses, which are more difficult to defeat, but the rewards provided to you are also very generous. Given its irreplaceable position in boss battles, it is necessary for you to know how to farm it effectively. This guide will show you how to get these very important Stygian Stones and how to use it.

How To Get Stygian Stones?

In Diablo 4, there is an endgame activity called The Pit, which has different levels. After you successfully run The Pit once, you will get a treasure chest as your reward, which will contain Stygian Stones.

Of course, this is a probabilistic event, and only if you challenge some higher-level The Pit will you have a higher chance of getting a treasure chest with Stygian Stones.

Higher levels also mean that you need a more powerful build to run it safely, so before entering, you need to use more Diablo 4 Gold to enhance your build. Don’t be sad about your spending, because your Gold reward will be greater after defeating Uber Boss.

Alternatively, you can also create a new character and grind their Wolf’s Honor with Iron Wolves. This way, you will also get some Stygian Stones after you complete Chapter 6 and Chapter 7. Fortunately, this is not a random event but a certain event, and each character can experience it once. This is also the fastest way to farm Stygian Stones.

How To Use Stygian Stones?

Once you have enough Stygian Stones, you can bring other summoning materials, such as Distilled Fear, Living Steel, Pincushioned Dolls, and Shards Of Agony, to each boss’s dedicated summoning location.

After you place the summoning materials, a higher-level Tormented variant of the boss will appear in front of you and start fighting you.

The above is how to obtain and use Stygian Stones in Diablo 4. Hopefully, with the help of this guide, you can get enough Stygian Stones as soon as possible so that you can challenge bosses that can provide you with super rewards more quickly.

There are many Uber Bosses in Diablo 4 for you to challenge. Most of them are difficult to fight, but they will also provide you with very rich loot rewards. The most famous one is Lord Zir. Like other Uber Bosses, Lord Zir will not quietly wait for your visit in the arena, but you need to use some summoning materials to summon him in a specific summoning location before he will appear. For Lord Zir, the summoning material required is Exquisite Blood, which this guide will introduce to you.

Since Lord Zir can provide you with a lot of valuable loot, and even Mythic Uniques, it is also very valuable to farm this Boss. This means that you need to collect enough Exquisite Blood to do this farming. This guide will introduce you to the method and usage of obtaining Exquisite Blood.

Conventional Ways

There are currently several ways to farm Exquisite Blood, most of which are obtained from treasure chests in certain activities, such as Spoils of Equipment chests or Spoils of Greater Equipment chests in the current season’s Infernal Hordes, or Whispers Caches.

Others require you to fight some battles, such as battles with World Bosses, or battles with Treasure Goblins. In addition, summoning materials like this can also be traded between players, and if you have enough Diablo 4 Gold, you can use it to get Exquisite Blood.

Best Way

As mentioned above, the above methods of farming Exquisite Blood are very inefficient. If you want to get more Exquisite Blood efficiently, you might as well try it in the endgame activity in Helltides. Besides this summoning material, you can also get another material from it - Living Steel.

When you enter Helltide and fight Blood Maiden, there is a high chance that at least one bottle of Exquisite Blood will drop. However, Blood Maiden is not waiting for you in Helltide. You need to collect three Baneful Hearts before you can summon it, and it can only be on the boss’ summoning altar.

This boss’ summoning altar will appear as a Whisper objective on your map. Baneful Hearts required to summon Blood Maiden are found in Helltide chests and have drop protection. In short, if you didn’t get a Baneful Heart in the previous activities, you will get one in the end to make up for it. You can also find Diablo 4 Gold as a reward in these chests.

Usage

Once you have collected enough Exquisite Blood, you can go to Darkened Way dungeon in Fractured Peaks to summon Lord Zir. In the current season, you can summon 2 types of Lord Zir. One is the normal one, and the other is Tormented variant.

But it should be noted that Tormented Lord Zir also requires a Stygian Stone material from The Pit. When you defeat these bosses, you can get rich loot rewards from them, such as Fractured Winterglass Unique that Sorcerer Class needs very much.

The above is the farming method and specific usage of Exquisite Blood in Diablo 4. You can choose the appropriate farming method according to your preferences. I hope you can summon this boss with very rich loot as soon as possible, and wish you a happy game!
