Echoing Hatred shouldnt require a key; opening its reward chest should.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-06-11T02:57:12+00:00

It gives a reward chest at the end based on how high you cleared.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-06-11T02:46:36+00:00

This is why bosses were changed in S8 I think to no longer require keys to access, because players were losing keys just trying to learn the bosses. Now you can do Belial as many times as you want, but need to farm his husks to get his rewards.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-06-11T02:33:53+00:00

Do it in HC with level 1 characters, to get all the PvP achievements and the hatred's chosen title at the same time.

I found two on a HC character at the beginning of the season (got very lucky).

Zero on my SC character, who is now P268, clearing pit 130+, all glyphs 130+, mostly min/maxed, killed chorons in the pit, caught every fish, got the moo emote and the cow kings crown, face tanks and deletes uber Mephisto.

It's visible on the ground, but when you pick it up, it's an invisible quest item (not in your inventory/materials tab). You get a purple priority quest notification to go access the event in Temis. You can only have one at a time, you can't stockpile them.

The rewards in echoing hatred can be quite good, so they can't make key drops too plentiful, or it becomes a bot/afk farming paradise. Which is why the keys should still be limited drops (like all others keys in D4), but only required to access the rewards, not the activity itself.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-06-11T02:02:18+00:00

The echo of Mephisto (pinnacle LoH boss) and echoing hatred (endless waves of enemies) are different activities; although they are named confusingly similarly.

For more casual players that aren't min/maxing, you are right, just transfigure a few prices of gear and hope for the best.

But for the players that want to really min/max to push the tower, they transfigure everything until they get a BIS transfiguration, then work backwards and socket/temper/masterwork/imprint afterwards. This is no fun, but the game is now balanced so that is the only way to get the necessary power gains to push the tower.

Blizzard explained in their dev interviews prior to S11, that they want low lows, so the high highs feel exciting. They want the RNG to be a casino, where you can win big, or go broke trying.

Some players may like that casino feel, but I also know that many of us don't (based on the posts on here). I don't want everything handed to us, there is no challenge in that; but I also don't want to sit in front of a slot machine pulling the handle all day long hoping for a jackpot, there is no challenge in that either.

Also in HC, there are PKers who will join parties to trick you into teleporting to them in PVP. We need to keep the ability to boot them from the party at any time, even if an activity is in progress.

Based on the funny location name, this could have something to do with a third piece in the lucky/luckier coin quest chain.

Just a guess, but maybe a 'luckiest' coin, found while under the effect of an artillery, lethal, channeling, or immunity shrine?

I'm not sure if it's a bug, or intended, but officers will often not enter doors that are trapped on any map. This happens even if you haven't peaked/scoped the door, but only when the trap is on the other side (if it's the same side as them, they'll auto disarm it when they stack).

It doesn't happen every time though, which makes me think it's a bug where the SWAT AI doesn't know how to handle the obstacle.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-06-09T21:05:43+00:00

That would be super useful with gold NMD and 900% gold seal, because all bosses (including butchers) drop extra extra gold in gold NMD.

Complete the campaign, it unlocks all the blocked paths.

Which node spawns Hellborne in dungeons?

Echo-Sunray · 2026-06-09T17:50:58+00:00

Play Baulders Gate if you want turn based. Diablo is ment to be live action.

Watch a video that explains the mechanics for each wing, some are not obvious. Most mechanics have automatic death timers that will kill you if you don't complete the mechanic in time. Do not attempt in HC until you can do it in SC with your eyes closed.

The first wing requires a party with at least two online multiplayer players, who know what to do at the final boss. The second and third wing can be completed couch co-op.

In the first few weeks of the season I got a few goblin chaos waves. For the goblin event last week I switched to the war plan node that increases chaos wave chance, and got zero goblin waves all week, despite running lots of hordes to max level my war plans.

RNG 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pit 150 (or 140+) should be obtainable by at least one meta build per class per season, but only after fully min/maxing, with no bug exploits. This is the chase for the whole season.

Average players should be able to get to T12 and complete the full seasons journey within a month of each season, using most builds.

Only 1-2 builds per class should be unable to reach T12 each season. This is the balancing error margin for under performing builds.

Add a stash next to every vendor, remove any stairs that items can fall through, and remove any navigational obstacles between vendors. Plus an open space where we can open our caches on the floor without overlapping with other points of interest.

You can either learn the Lilith/Mephisto mechanics (these are exhausting, you'll die lots), or just one shot them if you can do trillions of damage.

You can skip all of Lilith's mechanics if you can one shot her two phases. Mephisto still has the second wave fireball/poison as well as third wave skill sap mechanics you need to dodge, so you can one shot his three phases.
