Diablo 4 Shard of Agony FAQS

What is Shard of Agony used for in Diablo 4?

Shard of Agony is a Lair Boss Key used to unlock Duriel's Hoard after defeating him in the Gaping Crevasse. It is no longer required for summoning—Duriel is freely accessible once unlocked—but the hoard cannot be opened without consuming Shards of Agony. The hoard contains guaranteed 925-level Uber Uniques and other high-end loot.

How can I obtain Shard of Agony?

Shard of Agony is acquired by unlocking reward caches from specific bosses:

• Grigoire's Hoard: Requires 12 Living Steel to open after defeating Grigoire. This method has the highest drop consistency.

• Varshan's Hoard: Requires 12 Malignant Hearts to open after defeating Echo of Varshan. Drop rate is slightly lower than Grigoire's.

• Kurast Undercity Tribute: Using Tribute of the Titans in this zone grants a chance to receive Shard of Agony alongside other boss keys.

Note: Defeating the boss alone does not drop the shard—you must open their hoard using the respective materials.

How many Shard of Agony do I need to open Duriel's Hoard?

You need 3 Shard of Agony to unlock Duriel's Hoard. These are consumed upon activation and are not refunded, regardless of loot outcome.

Is Shard of Agony tradable?

Yes. Shard of Agony is a tradable item, allowing players to buy or sell it on the in-game marketplace. This enables loot targeting without running prerequisite bosses, and supports group coordination for Uber Unique farming.

What's the most efficient way to farm Shard of Agony?

The most reliable strategy is:

• Run Grigoire repeatedly and open his hoard using Living Steel

• Supplement with Varshan runs if Malignant Hearts are available

• Use Tribute of the Titans in Kurast Undercity for additional chances

• Avoid relying on random world events, as drop rates are inconsistent
