Diablo 4 Season 5: How To Get This Boss Summoning Material? - Exquisite Blood Guide

When the developers of Diablo 4 announced that they would make large-scale changes to many game contents in Season 8, players have always believed that the current battle pass system in the game is in great need of such a change, because it has always given players the impression that it is not meaningful enough, irrelevant to the theme of the season, and lacks a bit of autonomy in general. In fact, the developers were also aware of the urgent need to change Battle Pass system, so they finally rolled out the reworked Season 8 Battle Pass to all players a week before the official release of S8. In it, it is no longer a linear route, but is divided into different categories so that players can better control the rewards they are most interested in. In order for you to be fully prepared for this very attractive battle pass in Diablo 4 Season 8 Belial’s Return in advance, this guide will introduce you to some changes it has received this season and some specific rewards you can receive in it. Without further ado, let’s start exploring it in depth! Changes To Battle Pass System In the first few seasons of Diablo 4, Battle Pass worked exactly like a rewards track: there were 90 tiers of rewards, 28 of which were free, and the rest were only available after you spent a lot of D4 Gold to get the premium Battle Pass. There was also an accelerated version of Battle Pass, which not only included 90 premium rewards but also 20-tier skips and emotes for each class. Although these rewards are very important for your exploration of Sanctuary, including Smoldering Ashes, armor transmogs, weapons, mounts, etc., you spend a lot of money on them. For those Diablo 4 players who don’t like to spend a lot of Gold here, there are only 28 rewards to claim, and they will only enter this battle pass system at the beginning of a new season and every time there is new content to unlock. But in many cases, these free rewards are not applicable to some of the most popular class builds, so most non-paying players do not have a high degree of autonomy in this type of battle pass, which deviates from the original intention of D4 to promise players free farming and obtain the desired loot and rewards. So the developers have made major improvements to it. Players will see a content called Reliquary in Season 8, which will be officially launched on April 29. This is the new battle pass system in the new season. Here, you will not receive the season rewards you have on a linear track, but will get the corresponding rewards in order in several different types of Reliquary provided to you. According to the announcements released by the developers and some leaked information, there are four types of Reliquary in Diablo 4 Season 8: Belial’s Return Reliquary, Weapons Reliquary, Beasts Reliquary and Armor Reliquary, among which Belial’s Return Reliquary is provided free of charge to all players. The remaining few Reliquaries require you to spend Platinum, which is a paid currency in the game, to unlock. In addition, in the current S8, players will also be provided with a Deluxe Bundle worth 2,800 Platinum, which includes Guise of the Deceiver armor set, Deceiver’s Final Form wings and Orinocta, the Owl Pet for all classes, as well as the opening rights of three non-free Reliquaries. Each reward in Reliquary needs to be unlocked by Favor Tokens you get by killing monsters and completing tasks in the game. The number of tokens required for each reward is about 2-10, and after you unlock all the rewards in Reliquary, you will also be given some additional rewards, such as a piece of armor set in Deluxe Bundle. In short, in the new season, you can choose Reliquary you want to unlock according to the needs of your build. For example, if you need some powerful weapons in your build, you can get some exclusive weapons from the Weapons Reliquary that can be used to enhance your attack capabilities. Or if you want to focus on using a survivable build in Diablo 4, you can get some armor or other defensive gear from Armor Reliquary that can amplify your chances of surviving difficult challenges. In this case, the player’s autonomy in the game becomes higher, and it may also increase the possibility of multiple powerful builds appearing in the game at the same time, making this Diablo 4 return to the original intention of the series itself: giving control back to the player. For Smoldering Ashes that unlocked the battle pass in the previous Diablo 4 seasons, they can be used to improve Season Blessings in Season 8. They can provide more experience points or other additional rewards during the season. In addition, since Diablo 4 is expected to an IP cooperate with Berserk, a comic with the same style in this new season, it is very likely that Event Reliquaries will be launched in May, which may require you to use specific currency to unlock items with unique appearances. Season 8 Battle Pass Detailed List Belial’s Return Reliquary - Free Rewards: Town Portal cosmetic, Weapon Cosmetics, Horse cosmetics And Platinum Additional Rewards: Gloves from of Deceiver armor transmog set Weapons Reliquary - 200 Platinum Rewards: Weapon cosmetics for each class Additional Rewards: Boots from Guise of the Deceiver armor set Beasts Reliquary - 500 Platinum Rewards: Mounts, Mounts cosmetics And Pet Additional Rewards: Legs from Guise of the Deceiver armor set Armor Reliquary - 800 Platinum Rewards: Armor sets for each class And Town Portal cosmetic Additional Rewards: Chest and Helm from Guise of the Deceiver armor set The above is an introduction to the overhauled Battle Pass system in Diablo 4 Season 8 Belial’s Return. I hope you can explore this season with major changes to multiple game contents smoothly, and rely on the newly added Unique items and Legendary Aspects to easily fight all challenges, including your encounter with the returning Belial Boss. I wish you a happy game!

In Season 8 of Diablo 4, a ton of items will be added to the game. The good news is that boss summoning items are being removed in Season 8, making your backpack a lot cleaner. In Season 8, each class will have a new unique item and a new Legendary Aspect. This will definitely have an impact on the performance of each build. Let’s take a look at what items are added to each class. Barbarian Ancestral Unique Gloves: Bane Of Ahjad-Den [8.0 - 12.5]% Cooldown Reduction + [4 - 6] to Mighty Throw + [114.0 - 150.0]% Critical Strike Damage + [7 - 10] Fury per Second Every 12 seconds, your next Mighty Throw will immediately detonate a pulse, dealing Fire damage, and dealing [400.0 - 600.0]% [x] bonus damage. Aspect Of Delayed Extinction Allowed Item Types: 1H Weapon 2H Weapon (Power increased by 100%) Gloves Amulet (Power increased by 50%) Ring Mighty Throw and Steel Grasp now gain multiplicative damage from Cooldown Reduction instead of Cooldown, and their damage is increased by an additional [125 - 250]% [x] Mighty Throw Barbarian was great in Season 7 due to its high damage, but the best endgame build was HotA Earthquake Barbarian. With these buffs, Mighty Throw Barbarian may become the best endgame build. Druid Ancestral Unique Helm: Gathlen’s Birthright +128 Armor Anima of the Forest grants 15% attack speed + [10.5 - 15.0]% Willpower + [2 - 3to] Humanity + [224 - 296] Armor + [17.5 - 23.0]% Movement Speed in Human Form While in Human Form, critically hitting an enemy with Nature Magic [400 - 200] times grants you Anima of the Forest for 10 seconds. After infusing Anima of the Forest, you will gain Perfect Storm and Earthen Might key passives. Aspect Of Impending Deluge Allowed Item Types: 1H Weapon 2H Weapon (Power increased by 100%) Gloves Amulet (Power increased by 50%) Ring Storm Strike’s damage is increased by 50% [x], and the target takes [20 - 40]% [x] more damage from other spells for 6 seconds. Druids are already very strong in the game, and this buff to Storm Strike makes them more efficient at farming Diablo 4 Gold and clearing dungeons in season 8. Necromancer Ancestral Unique Two-Handed Sword: Sanguivor, Blade Of Zir 496 Damage Per Second [397 - 595] Damage per Hit 1.00 Attacks per Second (Slow) +60.0% Skeleton Mage Damage +60.0% Golem Damage + [160 - 188] Intelligence + [1,222 - 1,316] Maximum Life +2 to Skeletal Warrior Mastery, Golem Mastery and Skeletal Mage Mastery + [32.0 - 50.0]% Chance for Army of the Dead to Deal Double Damage Damage dealt by your summons causes enemies to be affected by Vampiric Curse. Consuming corpses also contributes a soul to Vampiric Curse, which can now stack up to 20 souls. Army of the Dead can now release Vampiric Curse souls, increasing the damage done by Army of the Dead and souls by [5.0 - 10.0]% [x] per soul released. Aspect Of Service and Sacrifice Allowed Item Types: Amulet (Power increased by 50%) 1H Weapon 2H Weapon (Power increased by 100%) Gloves Ring Skeleton Warriors explode upon death, dealing [150 - 300] physical damage to nearby enemies. They lose 25% of their health per second in combat. Skeleton Mages take 90% less damage and deal [50.0 - 100.0]% [x] more damage. Summoning-dependent Necromancers are able to perform well in leveling up and farming gold, but their performance in the endgame is average, not as good as Blood Wave Necromancers, and this may not change in Season 8.

Rogue Ancestral Unique Gloves: Bands Of Ichorous Rose 64 Armor +4 Maximum Poison Traps + [18.5 - 27.5]% Poison Trap triggers twice + [10.5 - 15.0]% Attack Speed + [3.0 - 5.0]% Maximum Poison Resistance + [41.5 - 55.0]% Poison Resistance Poison Traps always deal full damage over 3 seconds, and benefit from all upgrades, increasing damage by [50.0 - 100.0]% [x]. Poison Trap also: Benefits from Combo Points Has no Cooldown during Inner Sight Cooldown is reduced by Preparation Aspect Of Contamination Allowed Item Types: Amulet (Power increased by 50%) 1H Weapon 2H Weapon (Power increased by 100%) Gloves Ring When triggered, Poison Trap explodes, dealing [225 - 375] Poison damage. If this explosion is a critical hit, you deal [20 - 40]% [x] Poison damage for 5 seconds. Poison Trap is not a mainstream skill in Rogue and has little impact on Rogue builds. Perhaps it can be slightly enhanced for Death Trap Rogue builds. Sorcerer Ancestral Unique Helm: Hail Of Verglas 128 Armor +7.5% Maximum Cold Resistance +50.0% Cold Resistance + [4 - 6] to Ice Shards + [10.5 - 15.0]% Intelligence + [10.5 - 15.0]% Attack Speed [13.0 - 17.5]% Maximum Life Ice Shards now spread 2 additional shards. Each time Ice Shards damage an enemy, the damage dealt is increased by [1.0 - 1.5]% [x] over 5 seconds, up to a maximum of [50.0 - 75.0]% [x]. Shivering Aspect Allowed Item Types: 1H Weapon 2H Weapon (Power increased by 100%) Gloves Amulet (Power increased by 50%) Ring Depending on how Frozen or Stunned the enemy is, they take up to [20 - 40]% [x] more damage. The Chill you apply is increased by 15%. Ice Sorcerer underperformed in Season 7 and was abandoned by players. The best Sorcerer builds focused on Lightning and Fire builds. This buff may help Ice Sorcerer perform a little better in the endgame. Spiritborn Ancestral Unique Amulet: Sunbird’s Gorget + [16.0 - 25.0]% Movement Speed + [2 - 3] to Acceleration + [2 - 3] to Furnace + [2 - 3] to Potent Pick up a Storm Feather to create a Firestorm around you that lasts for 8 seconds, dealing [225 - 450] Fire damage every 0.5 seconds. For every 5 additional Storm Feathers you pick up, Firestorm grows stronger, increasing its damage by 100% [x], but does not refresh its duration. Firestorm counts as an Eagle, Jaguar, and Storm Feather Skill. Rip And Tear Aspect Allowed Item Types: 1H Weapon 2H Weapon (Power increased by 100%) Gloves Amulet (Power increased by 50%) Ring Rushing Claw deals [10 - 30]% [x] more damage, and is enhanced based on the number of charges you have when you cast it: 1. Restores 15% of your maximum health. 2. Guaranteed suppression. 3. Guaranteed critical hit. 4. Attacks once more. Spiritborn is a very strong class, and performs well in leveling up, farming gold and completing quests. This unique item is undoubtedly another big boost for Spiritborn. The above are the new unique items and Aspects of Season 8. They may have an impact on the next season, but the overall impact is not significant. They just provide players with more choices.

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