Diablo 4 Season 11 has introduced plenty of new mechanics to gameplay, and Divine Gifts play a significant role in the new season.
Season 11 is all about the Lesser Evils and the four demons featured in this category: Duriel, Belial, Azmodan, and Andariel. The Divine Gifts are tied directly to you defeating these monstrosities. This guide will provide you with all the information required for you to find and use them.
How to get Divine Gifts in Diablo 4 Season 11
Divine Gifts are provided by Hadriel, who has made a comeback. To help you fight the Lesser Evils, Hadriel will provide you with different boons, aka Divine Gifts. All Divine Gifts that you can obtain will be tied with one of the four Lesser Evils mentioned above. You’ll gain Corrupted Essence when you defeat them. Return the essence to Hadriel to unlock two Divine Gifts, as applicable for the Lesser Evil that you defeated.
Every Divine Gift has three components: Corrupted, Purified, and a reward.
- Corrupted Gifts: When you slot a Divine Gift into the Corrupted Slot, it will increase the challenge of related activities. However, you’ll also be getting additional loot for the extra challenge.
- Purified Gifts: When you slot a Divine Gift in the inner slot, it will remove the negative challenge and provide you with a boon while doubling the applicable rewards.
When you defeat a Lesser Evil, it will automatically unlock the Corrupted Slot. To unlock Purified Slots, you’ll have to progress along the Divine Favor reputation board. To make progress, you’ll have to advance across the different Ranks in Diablo 4 Season 11.
Best ways to use Divine Gifts in Diablo 4 Season 11
Here’s a quick rundown on how to best use every Divine Gift that you can obtain in Season 11.
| Divine Gift | Lesser Evil | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Essence of Pain | Duriel (Helltides) | The Purified Slot will raise your max barrier briefly when you drop to below 35% life (every 20 seconds). Use this to get higher-quality runes and gems since you’ll have to face harder challenges. |
| Essence of Squalor | Duriel (Helltides) | The Corrupted Gift will make spawned Maggots to consume your health potions, but the Purified part will refill them every 20 seconds. Use it to survive longer on your runs. |
| Essence of Lies | Belial (The Pit) | Since the Purified Gift allows you to fortify 1% of max life per second, use that on runs where you need to survive for a longer time. |
| Essence of Shadows | Belial (The Pit) | The Purified Gift will make you unstoppable every 12 seconds, allowing you to farm Gold and take down congested enemies filled with enemy mobs. |
| Essence of Sin | Azmodan (World Bosses) | Since you gain 20% increased armor from the Purified part, you can use it against World Boss events. |
| Essence of Hellfire | Azomodan (World Bosses) | The Purified part provides you with 10% chance for direct damage to stunned enemies. It’s the ideal gift to use on boss runs. |
| Essence of Anguish | Andariel (Kurast Undercity) | The Purified Gift raises your movement speed by 30%, and it’s best suited for farming runs where you need to move quickly. |
| Essence of Screams | Andariel (Kurast Undercity) | As it raises your resistance by 20%, you can use it to reduce the risk while farming for Masterwork materials. |
