Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim is here, and so is your best chance to get the most powerful loot in Diablo 4: Mythic Uniques. Whether you’re after Harlequin Crest, Doombringer, or class-specific god-rolls, targeted Uber Boss farming is the only consistent way to get them.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to farm Duriel, Andariel, Belial, and more for optimal drop rates, how Resplendent Sparks work, and the best strategies to maximize your time and gold.
𧬠What Are Mythic Uniques?
-
Mythic Uniques are Season 9’s highest-tier items, offering build-defining powers.
-
Only drop from Uber-level bosses in Torment I–IV or via Resplendent Spark crafting.
-
Drop chance is approximately 2% per kill on Torment IV—very low, but targetable.
πΊ️ Bosses That Drop Mythic Uniques
π₯ Duriel, King of Maggots
-
Best Mythic drop rate of all bosses.
-
Requires 3 Shards of Agony + 3 Slime-Covered Incubators.
-
Great for farming Harlequin Crest, Doombringer, Tempest Roar, and more.
π·️ Andariel, Maiden of Anguish
-
Drops mostly the same loot pool as Duriel.
-
Requires 3 Pincushioned Dolls + 3 Shards of Agony.
-
More Poison-based builds can benefit from her unique items.
π Belial, Lord of Lies
-
Highest chance for Ancestral Uniques on chest open.
-
Mythic drop rate slightly below Duriel/Andariel.
-
Requires 3 Rotten Cores + 3 Abhorrent Hearts.
π Harbinger of Hatred (Uber Lilith Variant)
-
Rarely farmed due to difficulty but drops all Mythics, especially The Grandfather and Melted Heart.
π How to Get Resplendent Sparks
Resplendent Sparks are used to craft Mythic Uniques at the Jeweler (targeted) or Blacksmith (random).
-
How to Earn Sparks:
-
Salvaging duplicate Mythic Uniques = 1 Spark

First kill of Tormented Boss = 1 Spark (once per account)
-
Uber Lilith clear = 1 Spark

πΈ 2 Sparks
-
π° 50M Gold

π Various Runes (Farmed from Strongholds/Nightmares)

π‘ Pro tip: If you loot a duplicate Mythic, don’t sell—salvage it to build toward the Mythic you actually want.
π Best Farming Routine
| Step | Action | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Farm Duriel or Andariel | Best Mythic drop odds |
| 2 | Rotate with Belial runs | High-value Ancestral loot |
| 3 | Clear Nightmare Escalations | Chest rewards + XP + Sigils |
| 4 | Salvage duplicate Mythics | Build Sparks |
| 5 | Use Jeweler to target-craft | Avoid RNG with Sparks |
⚙️ Required Summoning Materials
| Boss | Materials Needed | Where to Farm |
|---|---|---|
| Duriel | 3 Shards of Agony + 3 Slime-Covered Incubators | Varshan, Beast in Ice, Grigoire |
| Andariel | 3 Shards of Agony + 3 Pincushioned Dolls | Lord Zir, Beast in Ice |
| Belial | 3 Abhorrent Hearts + 3 Rotten Cores | Urivar, Andariel, Strongrooms |
π₯ Solo vs Group Runs
-
Solo Runs = slower clears, but more loot is yours.
-
4-Player Groups = faster boss kills + shared materials.
-
Mythic drop chance per player is unchanged.

Players can rotate summons for efficient farming.
-
π¬ Community tip: Rotate boss summons in Discord groups to share entry costs and loot opportunities.
