To farm Burning Aether in Diablo 4, you’ll need to complete objectives and eliminate waves within the Infernal Hordes mode or in Hellbreaches. Some of the objectives you might encounter include destroying the Soulspires in the dungeons by killing demons in the area or taking out designated elites around the breach. At the start of a dungeon, you might be tasked with taking down five spires. Each one that’s destroyed will give you an Aether until you get to the next section.

Before entering the subsequent area, you must choose a challenge against the hordes or in the smaller Hellbreaches. Typically, the challenges will increase the amount of Burning Aether you can get per objective until you reach the final boss. Whether it’s a breach boss or the full-blown Fell Council, the final challenge options will give you the choice to increase the last Aether drop. If you don’t pick the difficult option, you won’t earn as much.

After the final boss is defeated, a few different chests will appear on the ground. Players who collected as much Burning Aether as possible will be able to open the most expensive chest for full rewards. Make sure to spend everything you have because the Aether items can’t be saved. They are reserved for the hordes and can’t be held for the next round. So, claim the loot you can and get ready for your next breach.

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