Where To Get TheĀ Umbracrux Dagger in Diablo 4

Complete Infernal Hordes on World Tier 4 for the best chance of earning The Umbracrux in Diablo 4. Outside of the hordes mode, you can earn this dagger from any source, such as overworld chests, enemy kills, or even Nightmare Dungeons. However, the odds of any Unique falling from a random source are incredibly low. Even if a Unique happens to drop as a rare reward, there is an entire pool of items that could be on the ground. That makes earning The Umbracrux dagger far more difficult if you rely purely on chance.

All the Unique items in Diablo 4 can be target-farmed, so you donā€™t have to rely on the incredibly low drop rates by default. Before Season 5, every Unique was tied to at least one Uber Boss, such as Duriel. With the new items added in Season 5, each one is tied to the final rewards in the Infernal Hordes instead. So if you play a class like Rogue, the spoils chest for items can contain any of the new universal or Rogue-only Uniques. That includes The Umbracrux Dagger.

To grind out the Infernal Hordes, you need to consume Infernal Compasses. Remember that Ancestral rarity is what you want to use for one of the Season 5 Unique items.
