Diablo 4has been around for over a year, but the recent anniversary has added some extra content to the dungeon-crawling RPG. Grinding through bosses and collecting new loot to improve your build is key to the game, and some new summoning items make that all the easier.
This new addition are theStygian Stones, which veterans might already have collected and not know what to do with. Whether you have them or not, collecting them and using them will allowaccess to stronger boss battles and better loot dropsafterward.
Where To Get Stygian Stones
To farm Stygian Stones, there isone dungeon you need to go to and complete:The Pit. This dungeon is only available aftercompleting the Pit of the Artificer mission, which you will need to beboth World Tier 4 and have completed a Tier 4 Nightmare dungeonto access.
The Pitis locatedin Cerrigar, with the Obelisk at the left of townmarking the entrance.
To upgrade your World Tier, after completing the main story, there will be marked locations as dungeons that need to be completed.World Tier 4 requires completion of the Fallen Temple capstone dungeonnorthwest of Kyovashad.
Completing the entire dungeon of The Pit anddefeating the boss that appears can reward the player with Stygian Stones in the loot chest.
This is the main way to collect Stygian Stones, but the dungeon allows for afarming system. As for the amount of stones that drop from the chest, it varies depending on thedifficulty of the dungeon, ranging fromnone to plenty.
The Pit is not the only way to collect Stygian Stones,as the stones have appeared as Season rewards in the past. Keep an eye out for Season rewards in the Battle Pass for potential free or locked Stygian Stones.
How To Use Stygian Stones
To use a Stygian Stone, when collected,go to one of the Altar of Powerful Foes. These altars arelocated near each major boss location from the main story, including Lord Zir at the top of the Gale Valley and the Echo of Andariel toward the south of Kehjistan.
These Uber Bosses added in Season 4allow players to face off against stronger versions of familiar foes for new and improved loot. Going to those altars at the Uber Boss locationswill show what players need to summon the Tormented version of the boss.
Collect the required items,including three Stygian Stones, and use them to summon a Tormented Boss.
Every Tormented Boss requires exactly three Stygian Stones to summon. The other items required changes based on the boss, from Living Steel to Exquisite Blood.
Fighting a Tormented Boss is tough, butwill reward players with a lot more loot than a regular Uber Boss fight. Keep in mind that out of all the Uber Bosses, Lilith doesn’t have a Tormented Boss option.
