An Infernal Compass can be obtained by crafting one at the Occultist, claiming rewards from The Mother’s Gifts board, or opening chests in World Tier 3 or higher Helltides. Out of all these methods, the most reliable is simply using your resources to craft what you need. However, you need to reach a point where they are available at the Occultist and you have the materials needed in exchange.

In sum, to get an Infernal Compass in Diablo 4, you can do the following:

  • Craft an Infernal Compass at the Occultist Vendor.
  • Open Tortured Gifts in Helltides.
  • Kill Doomsayers for a chance at a drop.
  • Claim rewards in The Mother’s Gift board.

To unlock the ability to craft an Infernal Compass, you need to finish Locran’s questline which starts with The Eyes of the Enemy. The full questline leads to The Edge of the Abyss, where you take on your first remnants of the horde. After Locran finishes his ritual, you get the ability to use compasses and create them. He even leaves you with a couple of compasses to get started on your seasonal journey.

How To Use an Infernal Compass in Diablo 4

After obtaining an Infernal Compass, open your consumables tab and select the compass that you want to use. Regardless of the one you choose to consume, an option to teleport to the Gates of Hell will appear on the map. The location is always to the right of the Imperial Library in Kehjistan, so you don’t need to look very far.

Diablo 4 is available now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
