Kill elite monsters or bosses to earn Mother’s Gifts. Each kill you get will provide you with gifts that increase your overall reputation with Istel and the Triune. Elites are a rank above normal demons around Sanctuary and they are much tougher than the average monster. However, they aren’t considered real bosses. They always have the elite tag next to their name and some extra abilities to make the fight more difficult. Killing one of these will get you a few of the Mother’s Gifts in Diablo 4 so that you can progress The Rising Hells quest.

  • Kill elite enemies for small amounts of gifts.
  • Take down major bosses for larger drops.
  • Participate in the Infernal Hordes mode for the most Mother’s Gifts.

When gifts fall on the ground, they always appear as purple orbs. Just like other quests where numerous monster items need to be collected, the gifts are picked up by simply walking over them. Aberrant Cinders work the same way and can even be picked up passively with pets. In this case, the gifts are much rarer and you can easily collect them all when they fall from an elite monster or a major boss.

As enemies get tougher, the overall amount of Mother’s Gifts that drop will increase. Eliminating bosses in Cellars or even at the end of a dungeon means over a dozen gifts at a time. However, places like Helltides can provide nonstop elite monster spawns. Sometimes it might mean more gifts in the long run due to the sheer volume of mid-level enemies instead of major bosses.

Once you collect enough of the Mother’s Gifts, whether it’s for The Rising Hells quest or not, you can bring them to Istel. She can be found in Hawezar within the Mother’s Triune shack. In no time you’ll have tons of caches to open with a Resplendent Spark to look forward to at the very end.

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