In addition to hotfixes, Diablo 4 also regularly delivers new skins – such as this Lich King armor for necromancers.
In Diablo 4, a lot revolves around the grind: you farm resources, aspects, experience and rare items in order to be able to face the hardest level of difficulty, Torment IV, at some point. But with the new Vessel of Hatred expansion, one resource in particular has caused frustration – Forgotten Souls.
Endgame crafting will be less strenuous thanks to the hotfix
If you’ve never heard of the Forgotten Souls: These rare materials are essential in Diablo 4 to improve your endgame equipment. You need them for important upgrades like this Hardening and finishingyours Bequeathed legendary items
take it to the next level.
By hardening you add up to two new affixes to your items and by completing them you increase their values even further. But the Forgotten Souls – although you constantly need them – have been far too rare, making it harder to overcome the toughest challenges.

Diablo 4: Gameplay trailer for Season 6 introduces new mechanics, monsters and skills
Blizzard has now released a hotfix that is intended to resolve the bottleneck: Laut Blizzards Community Manager Adam Fletcher They were a bit forgettable
. Now this resource will drop much more frequently, making it much easier to craft equipment in the endgame.
With the hotfix, Forgotten Souls’ drop rate has increased massively across all Torment difficulty levels.
Dungeon bosses, whisper chests and lair bosses like Duriel and Andariel now guarantee drops, and there is also an increased number of valuable souls in the Dark Citadel raid. You will also now receive crafting materials after completing them in the Kurast Undercity, including Forgotten Souls.
Here is an overview of the old and new drop amounts by difficulty level:
- Which 1: 1 → 3
- Which 2: 1/2 → 5
- Which 3: 2 → 7
- Which 4: 3 → 10
By the way, the Forgotten Souls are not the only problem that Blizzard has on its mind: With Season 6, a new mechanic has been introduced that allows a huge mob – the so-called realm shifter – to stomp through Sanctuary. However, it does this painfully slowly, which is why the developers want to put fire under the beast’s butt soon. More about this in the article linked above.
