This is a short guide going over how you can obtain the Vermilion Witchknife as well as the Vermilion Wing Labrys Bundle using your Twitch Prime.
In addition, Blizzard recently held an IRL blood donation event, known as the Blood Harvest, in which when we hit certain milestones, we would obtain some free cosmetic rewards without spending any Diablo 4 Gold. So, we’ll cover what these are and where you can find them.
To be able to redeem your Vermilion weapon bundle, you will first have to have a Twitch Prime account.
Once you are logged in and on the web page, you will then select the ‘New Prime Loot’ tab, which will be located at the top. Scroll down until you find Diablo 4 and the Diablo 4 Items, and you will then click the claim button.
This will now take you to a new page, in which all you will need to do is select the get in-game content button. And as long as you have your Battle.net account linked to your Twitch account, you’ll be able to redeem these.
To link your Twitch and Battle.net account, you will first need to log in to the Battle.net website. Once logged in, you will then need to go to account settings.
On the left-hand side, there will be a ‘Connections’ tab. You will then select this and look for where it asks for you to connect to your Twitch account. Simply enter your login for Twitch, and if successful, it will then display that your Twitch account has been linked.
Now that you’ve claimed your Vermilion weapon bundle, we’re now going to move on to the next lot of in-game rewards everyone would have received from the 22nd of November.
So, recently, Blizzard held until the 20th of November, a Blood Harvest event, in which members of the Diablo community in the US could donate blood IRL. As long as they could provide proof of donating, it would be contributed to the ascension of the Lord Zir meter. This meter had set milestones, and upon hitting, would reward us with in-game goodies.
At 33%, we would unlock the first tier of the rewards. We would receive a dagger axe, Necromancer focus, a sword, and a Druid staff. The second tier would unlock at 66%, and this would give you the lock the Loch Raeth Maor Barbarian armor set. And then finally, if we managed to hit 100%, we would unlock the third tier reward, which was the Vermilion Eye Piebald Mount.
The great news is, we managed to hit the 666 quarts of blood milestone goal, meaning we’re going to be receiving all these in-game goodies. And in fact, now, as of November 26th, you should be able to locate these. And that’s where we’re going to go next.
So, the rewards from the Blood Harvest event have been added automatically to your account. To equip the weapons or the Barbarian armor set, you will simply need to find a wardrobe, which can be found in your towns and cities. Simply open up the wardrobe and select the pieces that you want.
And for your final reward, the Piebald Mount, you will then need to locate the stables. Once you’ve spoken to the NPC, you will then go to the mounts tab, and that is where you’ll find it.
Thanks to the almost never-short class balance and adjustments in Diablo 4, even if you have always liked the most old-school Diablo 4 classes, you have the opportunity to become one of the most powerful warriors in Sanctuary by playing them in the latest season.
As a class that has accompanied almost the entire development of Diablo 4, it has to be said that Necromancer also has the classic Diablo 4 dark aesthetic style in appearance and skill style. In battle, they mainly utilize bone and blood spells to output damage to the enemy, and can summon corpses and undead armies to help fight. They are truly strong.
As time comes to Season 8, even facing the latest ultimate boss Belial and his army of Apparition, Necromancer is still a very competitive class, but the premise is that you can quickly upgrade the character to the maximum level as a Necromancer to quickly pass the level. Based on this, we will introduce you to a good and easy-to-use Necromancer Leveling Build, so that you can continue to enjoy the unique charm of Necromancer in Season 8.
Based on the skill characteristics of this build, you can call it Blood Surge Necromancer Leveling Build. This build utilizes Blood Surge, one of the main skills of Necromancer, as the core damage source, and combines it with the skeletal minions that this class can summon for auxiliary output. In this way, in battle, you can not only effectively cause damage to single bosses, but also utilize minions to clear a large area of group enemies, quickly complete effective Diablo 4 Gold accumulation, and gain a lot of XP to upgrade as soon as possible.
In addition to the essential core skill Blood Surge, this Necromancer Leveling Build also requires you to match it with other active skills, and through skill rotation, the synergy between them can further improve your combat efficiency. The main ones include the following:
When you cast Blood Surge in battle, in order to keep it working, you must generate a steady stream of essence as the power source of this skill, and Enhanced Hemorrhage can do this very well. It is the most suitable essence generator for Necromancer class.
As an advanced version of Blood Surge, this skill can also be used as your main source of damage output. More importantly, after the paranormal upgrade, you can trigger overpower effect every five times you attack the enemy with this skill.
This skill mainly allows your skeleton soldiers to provide damage assistance to Blood Surge in battle through Skirmishers with the additional skeleton upgrade and Ice Mages with the essence generation upgrade.
Bone Prison makes enemies more vulnerable and susceptible to damage, but Ghastly Bone Prison can generate more essence for you on top of that, becoming your extra essence generator besides Enhanced Hemorrhage is working.
Iron Maiden can cause enemies to take damage over time and take backlash damage when they attack you or your minions, while the horrid version can generate essence for you by cursing them.
Besides providing enough damage and vulnerability, it also provides you with a stable source of essence, ensuring that you can continuously utilize Blood Surge to attack enemies. The specific operation method is to first release Blood Surge on the enemy, then use other essence generating skills to ensure that Blood Surge continues to operate, and then continue to utilize Blood Surge through Supreme Soulrift when fighting elites or bosses until the essence is exhausted.
The passive skills for this build are mainly blood-based, and their main purpose is to provide damage bonuses to your gear while maintaining your health. They include:
The main ones that can provide damage bonuses are Coalesced Blood, Tides of Blood, Transfusion, Drain Vitality, and Rathma’s Vigor. As long as you can maintain your character’s health level and pick up Blood orbs generated by Hemorrhage and Blood Surge through Transfusion in time, these damage-based passive skills can be effective.
As a seasonal feature of Season 8, it’s worth aligning all your builds with boss powers, which will give you an unexpected advantage during the season, and these powers only require defeating related bosses to obtain - of course, the more powerful the boss, the more dangerous it is. For Blood Surge Necromancer Leveling Build, the best boss powers include:
After matching skills and seasonal powers, it’s also important to choose aspects and gear. The first and most essential aspect is Blood-bathed Aspect, because when placed in the amulet, it allows the core skill Blood Surge to cast two novas in combat. Other good aspects include Aspect of Occult Dominion, Aspect Of Reanimation and Aspect Of Rathma’s Chosen.
As for gear or other items, there are no specific options that are required. You just need to make sure your gear can provide essence, damage and survivability as much as possible, or gear that can increase the level of related skills and passive skills is also very good.
The above is the core information for leveling up quickly in Season 8 through Blood Surge Necromancer Leveling Build. If you can master them, I believe you can continue to kill people as a Necromancer in Season 8! Have fun!
Almost every Diablo 4 season consists of the pre-campaign and the most difficult and important endgame part. The pre-campaign is not difficult to complete, but on the one hand, it can guide you to gradually understand the main plot of the season, and on the other hand, only by completing it can you successfully enter the endgame by challenging difficult bosses to earn more Diablo 4 Gold, while unlocking more essential seasonal features.
Diablo 4 pre-campaign will be divided into multiple chapters according to the plot of the new season, and each chapter consists of a complete quest line. In general, you only need to follow the system prompts to complete each small quest step by step, but the tricky part is that this process is very cumbersome and you need to check the prompts repeatedly to operate.
Diablo 4 Season 8 was launched not long ago on April 29. The pre-campaign of this season has 5 chapters. Considering the time and your schedule, this time we will provide you with detailed steps to complete the 5 chapter campaign quest lines to ensure that you can complete them with the highest efficiency.
This quest will start automatically after you create your Diablo 4 Season 8 character and log in to the game. You need to travel to Kyovashad teleport, where you can find Sayeena and talk to her to advance the quest. The specific steps are as follows:
After completing A Deceitful Incursion, you can gain XP and a lot of Diablo 4 Gold, and unlock the next quest, A Shop of Curios.
Once this quest begins, Sayeena will be waiting for you in Tarsarak. Go ahead and find her and talk to her. Here are the specific steps:
From this step on, besides the fixed XP and gold, you will unlock Unveiler’s Oath Reputation system and earn reputation points by completing subsequent quests, which can be used to obtain more rewards.
This quest is Apparition Incursion event in Season 8. You can complete the event at any time throughout Season 8, but to complete this quest of chapter 1, you only need to complete the following three objectives:
This quest will automatically open once you earn 3,600 reputation points in Apparition Incursion event. Then follow these steps:

Apparition Incursion in this chapter requires you to:
After completing the above goals, you will not only unlock the next quest and get XP and gold rewards of the quest, but also get the corresponding reputation level rewards through the reputation system.
Congratulations! After all the hardships, you have finally reached the last chapter and the last quest. Although this quest is not difficult in terms of steps, you need to completely defeat Belial. Fortunately, after the test of the first four chapters, I believe you should have this ability.
Once you’ve completed the above, you can continue to explore more content in Season 8, fortunately your character will be mature enough to handle more dangerous bosses! I wish you all the best!
Reputation is a core mechanism in Diablo 4. Although it will change its name and unlock and obtain methods according to the change of seasons, its existence is always to help you accumulate Reputation to get more precious rewards in the new season, such as skill points, Paragon points, potion charges and more.
In the recently launched Diablo 4 Season 8, the reputation system is named Unveiler’s Oath Reputation. It is combined with the new questline of the season to start the journey of the new season for you, encouraging you to earn Diablo 4 Gold and rare unique items and Resplendent Spark by actively participating in various new tasks and events in Season 8. Based on this, we will introduce you in detail how Unveiler’s Oath Reputation works and its specific rewards.
As one of the main components of Diablo 4 Season 8, the reputation system is closely related to the main questline of Season 8. The new season NPCs associated with this questline are retired Vizjerei mage Sayeena, and Jarius, who claims to be a knight of Cathedral of Light. You need to join them and start your new season adventure around the theme of Season 8, “Belial’s Return” and the related Apparition Incursions event.
To do this, first you must make sure you have completed all Diablo 4 pre-campaign content and created a Season 8 character, then go to Kyovashad Waypoint and talk to the strange NPC here to start and gradually complete Lord of Lies questline to unlock Unveiler’s Oath Reputation.
It is necessary to remind you in advance that after unlocking the reputation system and earning points for it, you can collect the corresponding reputation rewards near Tarsarak waypoint in Kehjistan. If you want to keep track of your current reputation level at any time, click on the notice board to view the reputation rank UI.
For Season 8, the main gameplay and innovation is to earn boss power by killing each boss, and participate in the new seasonal event Apparition Incursions. Fortunately, the way to earn Unveiler’s Oath Reputation points to upgrade levels is also based on these two contents.
In fact, farming bosses have always been the core gameplay of Diablo 4, especially when you enter the endgame stage, and this will become your main source of gold and new gear. The bosses in Season 8 can not only provide you with the boss power as a combat aid, but also their own ladder mechanism has changed.
The past endgame bosses in Diablo 4 were changed to lair bosses in Season 8. You no longer need to collect summoning materials for them. You can challenge them as long as you unlock Torment difficulty. But correspondingly, you need to collect the lair keys corresponding to each boss in order to open their hoards after killing them to take away the loot.
There are 24 bosses in Diablo 4 Season 8. Because of their different challenge difficulties, the corresponding levels are also different. From high to low, they are:
Legendary Boss:
Rare Boss:
Magic Boss:
As we have introduced, there will be 10 magic-level Apparition bosses in Apparition Incursions, as well as a Belial’s lesser former. Although these enemies are easier to deal with than other main bosses, they provide a lot of benefits, not only reputation points, but also Apparition boss power and special currency Spectral Ash that can increase the power level of all bosses.
This event works similarly to Headhunts in Season 7, and will spawn periodically throughout Season 8 in various locations in Sanctuary. Entering an Apparition Incursion event and killing the normal enemies will spawn two magic Apparition bosses and a lesser Apparition of Belial. Killing them will complete the event and earn you the rewards.
There are 18 reward levels in this reputation system. Every time you accumulate a certain number of points and reach the corresponding level, you will receive corresponding rewards, including items and crafting materials, etc. The most valuable rank 18 cache even contains a Resplendent Spark. Additionally, as you level up your reputation, you’ll unlock additional seasonal story quests and unique items for your class, as follows:
Rank 1-5
Rank 6-10
Rank 11-15
Rank 16-18
In order to get all the reputation rewards as soon as possible, it is recommended that you speed up your Diablo 4 Season 8 farming progress from now on! Good luck!
Diablo 4 Season 8 is now officially online, and everything is going according to the established schedule. Although there are some minor bugs such as Reliquaries’ mechanism failing to issue rewards normally, it does not affect your experience of the new season as a whole.
Therefore, the top priority for you is to adapt to the rhythm of the new season as soon as possible and complete all the pre-tasks that are important for promoting the game progress, such as A Deceitful Incursion quest.
This quest is actually part of Season 8 seasonal event Apparition Incursion, and from the perspective of the seasonal plot, this event is closely related to the ultimate boss of this season, Belial - the small bosses in Apparition Incursion are all minions of Belial. Based on this, we will bring you a guide to A Deceitful Incursion quest based on the introduction of Apparition Incursion.
Think of this quest as a prequel to Apparition Incursion event, as it shows you how these Apparition Incursions work, so completing it will help you better understand the new seasonal mechanics and events.
After you begin your Season 8 journey, Sayeena will tell you that she has found some rather unsettling apparitions near the eastern end of Fractured Peaks. You will then need to follow the coordinates she provides to the corresponding waypoint and clear out the enemies after entering the newly revealed dungeon.
The first enemy to attack you inside the dungeon will be Apparition of Kirma. A huge beast with multiple AOE attacks and powerful melee attacks, Kirma is very dangerous, so attack it while keeping as much distance as possible. It is recommended that you use the unstoppable movement skill if possible to get rid of any stun effects caused by Kirma, and continue to attack it until it dies. Then return to Kyovashad and speak to Sayeena again to complete A Deceitful Incursion quest.
It’s no surprise that most of the seasonal highlights of Season Of Belial’s Return revolve around the concept of “bosses”, both new bosses and boss powers. As a seasonal event, Apparition Incursion is a bit like a boss mode. Compared to other endgame content, this event is easier to complete, but it is also rich, so it is also the best source of early boss powers and Diablo 4 Gold for you.
From a story perspective, in the early seasons of Diablo 4, the main villain Lilith has died, and Apparition enemies or bosses are low-level demons who have taken over some of Lilith’s evil purposes. The overall structure of Apparition Incursion is similar to Legion event, but the difference is that it will drop special seasonal currency and reputation for you through Sayeena’s reward track after you complete the event.
Apparition Incursions are similar to Helltides in that they start to spawn randomly on the map after you enter Season 8, every 5 minutes, and there are no additional prerequisites for participating in Apparition Incursions. So it’s not hard to find and participate in these events, and you can do it with your teammates at any time.
After entering the current Apparition Incursion event, you will encounter special enemies with Belial’s green mark on their bodies in the corresponding area. Killing them can fill the progress bar corresponding to the event. When the progress bar is filled, an Apparition boss will appear. Killing him will gain the corresponding boss power.
It is worth noting that during the event, a green symbol called Betraying Eye will appear on the ground. Interacting with this symbol will cause more ordinary Apparition enemies to spawn near you, thereby filling the event progress bar faster to summon the boss.
Each separate Apparition Incursion event will have 2 random Apparition bosses and a Belial’s minion form encounter. These fights are all difficult, and each Apparition boss has a unique attack pattern, so you must be well prepared to deal with them immediately after you have dealt with the normal enemies.
After killing Apparition boss and Belial’s minion form, in addition to the relevant boss power, you will also receive an event chest, which can be opened to obtain seasonal currency called Spectral Ash. This currency can upgrade the boss power you have from level 1 to the maximum level 20, and can only be dropped through Apparition Incursion event and A Deceitful Incursion quest. The amount of Spectral Ash required to upgrade the power of bosses of different rarities is as follows:
Magic Boss Powers:
Rare Boss Powers:
Legendary Boss Powers:
After understanding the above content, if you have already created your Season 8 character, please start completing A Deceitful Incursion quest and Apparition Incursion event immediately! I wish you all the best!
In the anticipation of you and countless Diablo 4 players, Season 8 is finally online! No doubt, although you may want to quickly enter the endgame stage to experience the more exciting and difficult boss battles at the beginning, you must complete all the pre-tasks before that.
However, it is always a good thing to prepare in advance. Knowing some knowledge about dealing with boss battles in the preparation stage can not only help you complete the battle faster when you officially deal with the boss, but also minimize the possible losses - after all, Season 8 has so many powerful bosses that you need to defeat!
Based on this, among all the 24 bosses in Season 8, this time we will introduce you to some information about Urivar and Harbinger of Hatred. The special thing about these two bosses is that they first appeared in DLC Vessel of Hatred. Considering that you may be exposed to them for the first time because of Season 8, additional introduction is necessary.
This boss is an initiate lair boss in Season 8. I believe you have learned from various information that you no longer need to prepare summoning materials to fight lair bosses (endgame bosses) in Diablo 4, so you can go directly to Fields of Judgement to find this boss after unlocking Torment difficulty.
The entrance to Fields of Judgement is located in Teganze Plateau subzone of Nahantu, close to Kichuk Waypoint and Stronghold in the far east. You can use this as a sign to observe and find the boss’s location.
Yes, although summoning materials are no longer required, you must prepare the corresponding lair keys for each boss in Season 8 to open their respective hoard chests, otherwise you will not be able to get Diablo 4 Gold and other loot you deserve even if you win the battle.
For Urivar, the corresponding lair keys are 4 Judicator’s Masks, which can be farmed in many open-world content, including Helltides, World bosses, or Whispers. In addition, Stygian Stone will drop after defeating any initiate lair boss, which can be converted into the lair keys required to open greater lair boss hoards.
This should be the content you care about most! In addition to the regular gold or XP drops, unique and mythic unique items are the most important part of boss loot. It is worth noting that starting from Season 8, for each additional party member, your chance of getting additional unique items after defeating the lair boss will increase by 33% - that is, if your team has a 4-person party, this chance can be up to 100%.
Uniques:
Mythic Uniques:
Like Urivar, Harbinger of Hatred can be found in Harbinger’s Den at any level of Torment difficulty after unlocking Torment difficulty. This location is located in Lingering Hatred subzone of Nahantu, head northwest when you reach Kurast Bazaar.
The lair keys required to open the boss’ hoard chest are 4 Abhorrent Hearts. Interestingly, this item is mainly dropped by defeating Urivar. Of course, it should also be possible to exchange it with enough Stygian Stone, as Harbinger of Hatred is a greater lair boss.
It is worth noting that after opening Harbinger of Hatred’s hoard chest, a 20-second timer will appear. When this timer expires, a Summoning Altar or Belial’s lesser form will reappear. Defeating Belial’s lesser form will give you a chance to get additional loot, as well as Betrayer’s Husk, which can open Belial’s hoard in Palace of the Deceiver.
In terms of loot, Harbinger of Hatred has basically the same basic settings as Urivar, including an increased drop rate for unique and mythic unique items provided by party members. The specific contents are as follows:

Mythic Uniques:
I hope the above content can provide you with the necessary help when you officially start the two boss battles. At the same time, I wish you all the best in Diablo 4 Season 8! Have fun!
We all know that Diablo 4 Season 8 is a seasonal journey centered around the boss mechanic, whether it is the return of Belial, the Lord of Lies, or the new Boss Powers, it proves that these powerful bosses are the core theme you want to pursue this season.
However, Diablo 4’s past seasonal bosses also have their own characteristics, and what changes and improvements have appeared in these bosses in Season 8 that are worth players’ time to challenge them repeatedly? Here, we will discuss these changes one by one, whether it is boss summons, loot, and overall quality of life, so that you are fully prepared to fight these bosses when you enter Diablo 4 Season 8: Belial’s Return.
First of all, you can now teleport to the boss level immediately without having to run there from town. This slight change will make farming boss changes more streamlined. After all, no one is willing to spend a lot of time on repeated journeys.
Secondly, summoning bosses will be completely free. You can simply enter the boss’s lair, then go to Boss Summoning Altar and click on it to summon the boss, without any boss summoning materials.
The only exception is Uber Belial, you must complete the season questline to unlock Belial’s lair, but other than that, even Belial’s summoning is completely free.
The purpose of this change is to save you from wasting precious Diablo 4 Gold and materials to summon a boss you can’t kill. And this brings us to our third point.
In order to get loot from the boss you kill, you must spend a certain number of specific materials, namely Lair Boss Keys, on Hoard chest that appears after the boss dies in order to open the treasure chest and get the loot.
And the loot you can get is linked to the materials you spend. This means that if you spend materials to open a Hoard chest, even if there are players in your party who killed the boss with you, as long as they didn’t spend materials to open the chest, they will not receive the loot. Only those who actually spend materials will receive the loot, and this change is intended to prevent lazy teammates.
So even if someone without any materials joins your party, they can’t get the loot without spending their own materials. However, in Season 8, materials can still be traded, and unique items can also be traded. We can imagine that some rare materials will be sold at sky-high prices in the late game, so hoarding materials in time may bring you a lot of Diablo 4 Gold!
Let’s talk about the cost of farming these bosses and looting all the rewards. Lair Boss ladder in Season 8 is divided into three difficulty levels: Initiate, Greater, and Exalted. The higher the difficulty of the challenge, the higher the quality of the loot dropped. Currently, the material costs of bosses of different levels have been unified, which are:
Previously, summoning different bosses mostly required multiple different types of materials, but now they only need one, which greatly improves the efficiency of farming these bosses. In addition, all materials can be stacked up to 99 types, which makes inventory management much easier. The specific Lair Boss Keys and materials required for Hoard chests dropped by these bosses are as follows:
Now let’s continue this topic, because the boss changes are not over yet, there are two new bosses in Season 8 that deserve our attention, they are: Mini Belial and Uber Belial.
After you kill any Initiate and Greater Boss, there is a chance that Mini Belial will appear. Based on Season 8 PTR, the chance is about 20%-30%.
It is important to note that Belial will also only drop loot for the player who opened his Hoard. So if two players in your party do not have their Hoard open, and only the third player spends materials to open Hoard, and this player who opens Hoard also summons Mini Belial, then only the person who opened Hoard will get loot from Mini Belial, and no one else will.
So, this means that you can’t just focus on leveling up your character to kill the boss, it is also very important to properly farm these Lair Boss Keys. After all, you don’t want to get nothing after working so hard to defeat the boss!
Regarding the loot table, Mini Belial will drop loot from the same loot table as the boss that was just killed, so if you summon Mini Belial, the loot you just got from killing the boss will be doubled.
Additionally, Mini Belial will drop Betrayer’s Husks, which are key ingredients for looting Uber Belial’s loot chests.
Uber Belial is Pinnacle boss in Season 8. You’ll need to progress the seasonal questline to a certain point before you can summon him, but you can also summon him for free. When you defeat him, you’ll need to spend two Betrayer’s Husks to open his Hoard.
When you open Uber Belial’s Hoard, you’ll be able to freely choose which boss’ loot table you want to take loot from. This means that in addition to Uber Belial being guaranteed to drop at least two Ancestral Unique items, you can also target farming specific bosses, and more importantly, Uber Belial has the highest chance of dropping Mythic Unique items in the game, and these two things alone make Uber Belial a very desirable farming target in Season 8.
These are the major changes made to seasonal bosses in Diablo 4 Season 8. Honestly, as a boss season, these changes make our farming process easier, but unlocking these boss loot still requires repeated farming materials, so do these changes still make sense?
