When you encounter dungeons or endgame activities in Diablo 4, you will face many enemies. At this time, you not only need a powerful AOE attack to keep them away from you, but also some crowd control ability to give you some time to release attacks. The only class that meets both conditions is Rogue.
It can stop the enemy from advancing in battle by yourself or the team, and can control the group of enemies very well. Then, if the Rogue has a very useful helm, it will improve the crowd control skills of this class and be able to perform well in some of the most strenuous activities of this season.
This guide will introduce you to the best Unique helm for Rogue, called Cowl of the Nameless, and the various ways you can get it in many activities in Sanctuary and its area. I believe that after you get it, your Rogue Class will be taken to the next level.
Common Ways To Get Cowl Of The Nameless
Before you start looking for Cowl of the Nameless, you need to make sure your Rogue has reached World Tier 3 or World Tier 4 this season, which is a prerequisite. Starting from World Tier 3, Unique items in Season 5 will drop randomly after you open treasure chests or defeat enemies.
The most common way to get Cowl of the Nameless is to run this season’s new endgame mode, Infernal Hordes, and open Spoils of Equipment chests. It will be determined by your performance in Infernal Hordes and the amount of Burning Aether you pick up.
Throughout the waves of Infernal Hordes, you need to defeat a certain number of enemies to trigger Aetheric Events. These events will let you defeat powerful enemies, and after you successfully defeat them, these enemies will drop Burning Aether. After completing all waves and defeating Fell Council bosses at the end, you can use Burning Aether to open Spoils of Equipment or Spoils of Greater Equipment chests.
As the best Unique for Rogues, Cowl of the Nameless is more likely to appear in Spoils of Greater Equipment chests and will come with Greater Affixes. The biggest difference between these two treasure chests is that they will appear in different levels of Infernal Hordes, so you need to use high-level Infernal Compasses as much as possible to enter high-level Infernal Hordes.
In addition, if you want to increase your chances of getting Cowl of the Nameless, you can focus on completing endgame activities, such as fighting World Bosses in Sanctuary, or using Nightmare Sigils to run Nightmare Dungeons, which can get this powerful Unique.
Best Way to Get Cowl Of The Nameless
While the above methods are relatively easy to get the Cowl of the Nameless Unique, the best way to get it is to face and defeat some Uber Bosses. In Diablo 4 Season 5, you can use some summoning materials to make some powerful bosses fight you, and find some Uniques in the loot after the battle.
For Cowl of the Nameless, you need to face King of Maggots Duriel or Echo of Andariel, as their loot pools contain the unique helmet you need. However, it should be noted that these two bosses will only appear in World Tier 4, so please use some Diablo 4 Gold to upgrade your Rogue to World Tier 4 before fighting.
Below are the bosses you need to face, as well as their summoning materials and locations.
Duriel & Tormented Duriel
Both versions of Duriel can be found in Gaping Crevasse in Kehjistan. And in Season 5, you no longer have to reset Endgame Boss dungeons to repeat the boss fight. Instead, you’ll be able to use the summoning materials again immediately in the same dungeon.
For normal Duriel, you only need 2 Mucus-Slick Eggs obtained after defeating Echo of Varshan and 2 Shard of Agony obtained after defeating Galvanic Saint Grigoire. Both summoning materials are very easy to get.
But for Tormented Duriel, you’ll need three times the above materials, which is 6 Mucus-Slick Eggs and 6 Shard of Agony, plus a Stygian Stone for completing The Pit activity within a limited time.
Although Tormented Duriel requires 3 times more materials than normal Duriel, it provides 5 times the rewards of normal Duriel! So if you want to maximize your loot, especially Diablo 4 Gold, you can challenge Tormented Duriel directly.
Echo Of Andariel & Tormented Echo Of Andariel
These two versions of Echo of Andariel will appear in Hanged Man’s Hall in Kehjistan, so you can continue the fight in another place after completing the quest to defeat Duriel.
To summon the normal Echo of Andariel, you need to use 2 Sandscorched Shackles obtained by defeating Dark Master Lord Zir and 2 Pincushioned Dolls dropped by defeating Beast in the Ice. These two summoning materials may not be as easy to obtain as the previous ones, so it may take some time and strategy.
Similarly, Tormented Echo of Andariel requires three times the summoning materials of the normal Echo of Andariel, plus a Stygian Stone. If you plan to defeat these bosses at once, you will need to run The Pit multiple times to get enough Stygian Stones.
This requires your character to be strong enough, or you can team up with your friends to complete the above quests. However, Tormented Echo of Andariel provides you with a lot of loot, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Unique Effect And Affixes Of Cowl Of The Nameless
After you get and equip Cowl of the Nameless Unique helm, when you attack some controlled enemies, there will be a 20%-40% Lucky Hit chance bonus.
In addition, Rogue will also have 1-2 Unstable Elixirs, which can easily break the balance of the enemy. Most importantly, it will increase Crowd Control Duration by 41.5%-55%, which will increase the possibility of restoring your stamina and subsequent battles.
The above is your guide on how to get Cowl of the Nameless Unique in Diablo 4 Season 5 and what it does. I hope you can make good use of this powerful Unique in this season and get a better gaming experience.
