Season 8 of Diablo 4 has introduced some of the most powerful loot caches in the game to date—caches that consistently reward players with high-value ancestral gear and even ancestral unique Diablo 4 items. If you're hunting for endgame gear, optimizing your seasonal reputation, or just looking for efficient ways to grind out progress, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.

The New Best Loot Caches in Diablo 4

At the center of this season's endgame grind lies a new kind of loot cache that offers incredible rewards. These caches almost always contain one ancestral legendary, one ancestral unique, and at least two additional legendaries. That makes them the most valuable reward containers in the game right now. These loot caches are bound to the Season 8 content and require players to earn Unveiler's Oath reputation to unlock. You can obtain these caches infinitely, as long as you keep farming the right way.

Where to Get the Loot Caches

To find these loot caches, head to Kazan and teleport to Tarsurk, a seasonal hub. All the activity tied to these caches is directly connected to your Unveiler's Oath reputation, which means the more rep you earn, the more caches you can open.

How to Get Unveiler's Oath Reputation

There are two highly effective ways to farm Unveiler's Oath:

Method 1: Farming Layer Bosses

This is the more straightforward method and works well if you already have a supply of boss-summoning materials.

• Each layer's boss, when defeated, rewards you with materials and a loot cache.

• Killing a boss alone does not give reputation—you need to open the cache it drops.

• Each cache grants approximately 5,000 reputation.

If you have stockpiled Living Steel and other boss-summon components from Helltides or previous activities, you can chain boss fights together to farm caches and reputation rapidly.

The downside? Eventually, you'll run out of materials. That's where the second method comes in.

Method 2: Infernal Hordes with Seasonal Blessings

Infernal Hordes can be even better than boss farming if you do them the right way. Here's the breakdown:

Step 1: Activate the Earn of Oath

Go to your Seasonal Blessings menu (press U in-game) and spend points in the Earn of Oath. This boosts your Unveiler's Oath reputation gains by 20%. It may not seem like much, but over dozens of caches and bosses, it adds up significantly.

Step 2: Run Infernal Horde Events

Infernal Hordes offers multiple ways to farm reputation:

• If you don't have any Infernal Compasses, don't worry. They drop from:

  o Layer boss loot caches

  o Helltides

• Start your Horde run, and then look for specific boons.

Priority Boons:

1. Teeming Masses – This boon fills the Horde with bosses hidden inside flesh blobs. Killing these bosses grants about 3,600 reputation each.

2. Aether Lords Are Hunting You – This makes even more bosses spawn. In a single 10-wave run, you can kill 60–80 bosses, granting massive amounts of reputation.

Doing this with a full party dramatically increases boss kill speed and total gains. Reputation levels will fly by, and you'll quickly unlock more loot caches.

Bonus Tips for Infernal Horde Farming

• Equip the Earn of Masterworking blessing if you're looking for extra Opticide (a key crafting material).

• Don't forget the Earn of Lies when fighting bosses for loot.

• If you're farming the Pit, Earn of Glyphs is essential—it grants you an extra upgrade roll per glyph.

Rotate your earnings according to the activity you're doing. They cost very little Diablo IV gold to switch—about 30,000 gold per swap—but the bonuses are game-changing.

Why Reputation Matters So Much This Season

Reputation doesn't just unlock caches—it also ties into other seasonal rewards.

• Reputation milestones give Resplendent Sparks, which can be used to craft mythic gear.

• You can unlock high-tier reputation rewards simply by doing Hordes with the right boons.

• Example: Running one well-optimized 10-wave Infernal Horde can push you up 3 full rep levels if you hit the right boss density.

This is the fastest route to getting your tier 18 seasonal reward, which includes a Spark and other high-end loot.

More Reputation from the Under City and Dark Citadel

Besides bosses and Hordes, there are a couple more places where you can earn significant Unveiler's Oath reputation.

1. The Under City

• Run through for runes, masterworking mats, and more.

• The boss at the end counts for Unveiler's Oath.

• Great way to restock layer boss keys too.

2. The Dark Citadel

• Often overlooked, but very efficient with a group.

• Features a boss rush format with several mini-bosses and one major boss.

• Also drops unique cosmetic armor sets, which are visually striking.

Completing the Seasonal Journey (Destroyer Objectives)

Season 8 also introduces objectives requiring you to kill key bosses while using specific boss powers as your main ability. Here's how it works:

Example: Kill Blay, Lord of Lies, Using Lilith's Winds of Hate Power

• Equip Winds of Hate as your main power.

• It's not about using it during the fight—it just needs to be equipped when you kill Blay.

• The same goes for defeating Lilith with Balial's I-beam.

These objectives are important for progressing your Seasonal Journey and unlocking more ashes for blessings.

Tips for Killing Uber Lilith (if you have to)

Uber Lilith remains one of the hardest fights in the game. Here's what you need to know:

• You must complete all phases of the fight. No shortcut or one-shot mechanics allowed.

• She drops unique loot and counts toward journey objectives.

• Use crowd control, high mobility, and resource stacking for a smoother fight.

Alternatively, you can bypass Lilith entirely by:

• Completing Pit Tier 75

• Opening 10 Tortured Gift chests

• Killing other bosses with required powers

These options are significantly easier for many players.

This loop is more fluid and rewarding than in past seasons, allowing you to naturally progress from one activity to the next while reaping major rewards along the way.

If you've found a new farming method, shortcut, or trick, share it with the community. Diablo 4 is at its best when players collaborate, and Season 8 has brought some of the most grind-friendly mechanics yet.
