In the dark fantasy world of Diablo 4, adventurers seek out epic loot to empower their characters. While Legendary items offer powerful effects, an even rarer class of gear called Unique items takes builds to unseen levels. These strange artifacts of Sanctuary come in limited quantities but bring tremendous power.
In this guide we look at what Uniques are, and provide a list of all Uniques in Diablo 4, Season 3.
Table of Contents
What Makes Uniques So Special
Uniques stand out for their distinctive light brown background, gold-colored text and one-of-a-kind attributes tied to their names.
Unlike other gear, only a single copy of each Unique can appear in a playthrough. Their potential also scales up infinitely based on the player’s level and magic find. A high-level character with good fortune could discover a tremendously powerful version of a Unique.
Diablo 4 Season 3 Uniques
The latest game update introduced six more Unique items. Each class also received one special Unique, as well one non-class specific unique item added to the loot pool.
The Uniques added in Season 3 include:
- Beastfall Boots (Rogue boots)
- Mutilator Plate (Necromancer chest)
- Paingorger’s Gauntlets (generic gloves)
- Ring of the Ravenous (Barbarian ring)
- Starfall Coronet (Sorcerer helm)
- Unsung Ascetic’s Wraps (Druid gloves)
Diablo 4 Universal Uniques
Some Unique items work across all classes, offering effects like raising attributes or resources. Currently, 15 universal Uniques exist in the game, with another set of 7 dropping exclusively from enemies over level 85. These are the rarest items in Sanctuary.
| Unique Name | Item Slot | Unique Effect |

Diablo 4 Ultra Rare Uniques
Among the non-class specific Unique items in Diablo 4, seven stand out as being incredibly rare, only dropping from enemies that are over level 85.
For the first month after release, players struggled to get any of these Uniques to drop at all. Now, it’s possible but still unlikely, requiring a great deal of time and effort.
These ultra-rare Uniques, especially the Harlequin Crest helmet, are considered best-in-slot items for many endgame builds due to their guaranteed high rolls. Initially, there was no reliable way to farm them outside of sheer luck.
However, Blizzard added a special endgame boss, Duriel, Lord of Maggots, designed specifically for the purpose of hunting these seven Uniques. While none have a guaranteed drop rate from Duriel, he provides much higher odds compared to standard enemies.
Defeating this challenging boss gives players a fighting chance at completing their build with these powerful best-in-slot gear pieces. Though Duriel himself poses threats, especially to under-leveled characters, the potential payout is why so many take on this difficult optional encounter late in the game.
| Unique Name | Item Slot | Unique Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Ahavarion Spear of Lycander | Staff | Gain a random Shrine effect for 10-20 seconds after killing an Elite enemy. Can only occur once every 30 seconds. |

| Doombringer | One-handed Sword | Lucky Hit: Up to an X% chance to deal X Shadow damage to surrounding enemies and reduce their damage done by 20% for 5 seconds. |
| Harlequin Crest | Helm | Gain X% Damage Reduction. In addition, gain +4 Ranks to all Skills. |
| Melted Heart of Selig | Amulet | Gain 60 Maximum Resource. 75% of incoming damage drains 2 Resource for every 1% of Life you would have lost instead |
| Ring of Starless Skies | Ring | Spending resources reduces your resource costs and increases your damage by x10% for 3 seconds, up to 40% |
| The Grandfather | Two-handed Sword | Increases your Critical Strike Damage by X%. |
