In Diablo 4 Season 8, Belial’s Return, loot acquisition has been reworked around the new Unveiler’s Oath system, new loot caches, and synergistic loops involving Infernal Hordes, Season Blessings, and boss farming. If you want to stack ancestral legendaries, uniques, Obducide, Teeming Mosses, and even get Resplendent Sparks, here’s the breakdown:
🧰 New Loot Caches – The Best Drops Yet
🔥 How to Get Them
• Travel to Kehjistan → Tarsarak to find the new loot caches.
• Some Greater caches:
• Greater Alchemist Cache
• Greater Berserker Cache
• Greater Blood Cache
• Each cache drops Diablo 4 Ancestral Uniques and Ancestral Legendary items.
🗝️ Requirement
• Requires Unveiler’s Oath Reputation to open.
• Each chest costs ~5,000 reputation and can be farmed infinitely if you keep gaining rep.
⚔️ Method 1: Farm Layer Bosses
• Defeat Torment 4 bosses for opening boss box key materials.
•Get materials such as Living Steel from Helltides, which is used to open these boss boxes.
• Opening boss boxes (not just killing) grants Unveiler’s Oath reputation.
• Downside: You need open boss box key materials, which may run out.
🔥 Method 2: Infernal Hordes – The Superior Strategy
🎯 What to Focus On:
1. Teeming Mosses (Boons)
• Also, Aetheric Masses, these boss-spawning blobs have bosses in them.
• Each boss grants ~3.6k–4k rep.
• Masses can spawn dozens of bosses if farmed correctly.
2. Aether Lords are Hunting You (Boons)
• Adds more elite/boss-tier enemies.
• Stackable with Teeming Mosses for massive boss rushes.
3. Kill Rate: 1 full run with friends can net 50+ Diablo 4 bosses, skyrocketing your reputation.
📦 Bonus Drops:
• Infernal Compass (needed for Horde runs) drops from:
• Boss boxes.
• Helltide chests.
🧪 Maximize Your Gains with Seasonal Blessings
Prioritize These Urns:
• Urn of Oaths: +20% Unveiler’s Oath rep. Mandatory!
• Urn of Masterworking: More Obducide in Horde runs.
• Urn of Lies: More loot when farming bosses.
• Urn of Glyphs: More Pit glyph upgrades.
💡 Tip: Swap blessings depending on your activity (e.g., switch to Masterworking when farming Obducide).
💎 Easy Resplendent Sparks
Resplendent Sparks are used to craft Mythic Uniques. To farm them:
• Speed-run reputation tiers via Infernal Horde boss farming.
• Reach Tier 18 quickly and claim the Spark.
• Use Sparks to craft Mythic gear at the Occultist.
🧱 Other Boss Farming Options
• Undercity & Dark Citadel:
• Complete the full Citadel questline. It’s a hidden boss rush area with:
• Loot
• Runes
• Masterworking mats
• Boss keys
• Hell Maiden Boss: Counts for rep and sparks too.
👑 Seasonal Journey – Destroyer Tier Tips
To complete final objectives like:
Bloodstained Hoard, Hell’s Fury, Wanderer of Lies
You only need to equip the power as your main boss ability.
✅ Alternate Objectives if Lilith Is Too Hard:
• Pit 75
• Open 10 Tortured Gift Chests
• Kill bosses with the required powers equipped
💡 Lilith fight tips:
• Don’t overdamage too early; she has phased mechanics.
• Avoid AoEs and mechanics like wind zones and energy balls.
Use Torment 1 for an easier version if you’re struggling.
📈 Summary: Efficient Loot & Reputation Loop
1. Farm Helltides → get boss mats & Infernal Compasses.
2. Kill Layer Bosses → earn Unveiler’s Oath + compasses.
3. Run Infernal Hordes → use Teeming Mosses + Aether Lords.
4. Earn thousands of rep → open chests → get legendaries/uniques.
5. Stack Obducide via Urn of Masterworking.
6. Reach Tier 18 rep → get Resplendent Spark → craft Mythics.
7. Complete seasonal journey objectives for max rewards.
🛡️ Pro Tip: Bring a Party
Infernal Hordes with friends = way more boss kills = much faster reputation and loot. Coordinate boons and target Aetheric Masses for the best results.
