Wondering how to get the Doombringer sword in Diablo 4? This Unique item is a one-handed sword that is sought after by countless players, especially Necromancer and Rogue players.
The Doombringer, along with several other rare items, are considered to be Uber Uniques, items so rare that many players wondered if they were even real. Now, with Season 2 and the addition of new endgame bosses, it’s easier than ever to get this incredible sword. We’re here to tell you where you can find the Doombringer, its stats, and its Unique Effect.
Where to find Doombringer in Diablo 4
The Doombringer sword can only be found on World Tier 4: Torment as a random drop or from defeating Uber Duriel. You won’t be able to find it until you hit level 85 either, as the Uber Uniques don’t drop until you hit that level. Don’t look for it on World Tier 3 or below level 85, as you it can’t drop without
The best way to get Doombringer is to defeat the Echo of Duriel, also known as Uber Duriel. The Doombringer is part of the boss’s unique loot table, and it is far more likely to drop from him than from other enemies or opening chests. We can’t recommend this method enough, as it’s far superior. Duriel is a level 100 boss, however, so he won’t be easy to defeat. Gather Shards of Agony and Mucus Slick Eggs to take him on.
If you want to go the long route though, the sword does have a chance of dropping from any enemies or activities on World Tier 4. However, this chance is incredibly low. Head to places where you can farm tons of Unique items, like Nightmare Dungeons for the best chance to get the Doombringer. This weapon is incredibly rare, so your chances of finding it are ridiculously low, but it can be done.
Doombringer Unique Effect in Diablo 4
The Doombringer has the following Affixes:
- Increased Maximum Life Percentage
- Increased Core Skill Damage Percentage
- Increased Damage Percentage
- A 5% chance to heal from a Lucky Hit
And the following Unique Effect:
- Up to a 25% chance to deal 3,409 Shadow damage to surrounding enemies and reduce their damage done by 20% for five seconds
This one-handed sword only drops as an Ancestral item, and with a high Item Power, it’s an incredible weapon. It’s easy to see why it’s so sought after by Diablo players.
What is Doombringer’s drop location?
Doombringer can drop from anything that drops Uniques in World Tier Torment, including enemies, Nightmare Dungeons, and loot caches. It can also drop from defeating the Echo of Duriel endgame boss. It is one of the Uber Uniques in the game, so it’s incredibly difficult to find.
