✓ At a glance
  • Unique items have a unique affix in addition to four powerful regular affixes.
  • They can be earned at random, from specific bosses, Nightmare Dungeons, Grim Favor caches, Helltides, and the Pit.

Uniques are overpowered pieces of equipment that will let you dominate the endgame, even on Diablo 4’s higher difficulties. While they are hard to find, they offer unrivalled power compared to regular gear. Despite the slim odds of success, these weapons and armour are worth working towards. Here’s how you can work towards all the Unique items in-game.

How to get Unique items

Once you’ve unlocked the higher difficulties, here’s how to grind for Unique items in Diablo 4:

  1. Fighting World Bosses in events or regular bosses and Elite enemies in dungeons via random drops.
  2. Clearing end-game Nightmare Dungeons with Nightmare Sigils.
  3. Getting Whispers of the Dead rewards in the form of Grim Favor caches.
  4. Helltides and their chests can also drop these items.
  5. Season 4’s Pit also lets you work towards Uniques once you hit Torment difficulty.

Unique items represent the rarest tier of loot: Normal, Magic, Rare, Legendary, and Unique. They appear with a light brown glow in-game that is almost pink. With stats better than those of Legendary gear, they also feature a Unique affix alongside four overpowered regular affixes. While Season 4 makes it easier to get Uniques, your odds of getting them are better on World Tier 3: Nightmare difficulty and World Tier 4: Torment difficulty. These can be unlocked by clearing Capstone Dungeons like the Cathedral of Light.

All bosses that drop Uniques

Here are all the bosses you can take down for these items with the resources to summon them:

  • Varshan, below the Tree of Whispers (Malignant body parts from Tree of Whispers caches)
  • Grigoire, Hall of the Penitent (Living Steel from Helltides)
  • Lord Zir, The Darkened Way (Exquisite Blood from Helltide’s Blood Maiden)
  • Beast in the Ice, Glacial Fissure (Distilled Fear from tier 30+ Nightmare Dungeons)
  • Duriel, Gaping Crevasse (Shards of Agony and Mucus-Slick Eggs from Grigoire and Varshan)
  • Andariel, Hanged Man’s Hall (Sandscorched Shackles and Pincushioned Dolls from Lord Zir and Beast in the Ice)
