After Legendary gear in Diablo IV, the rarest items found in higher World Tiers are Unique pieces of armor, weapons, or jewelry that you might only get by defeating the most powerful demons from Hell. Sporting incredibly powerful effects that strengthen character builds, it's easier to talk about Unique items than actually finding one. However, with enough determination and a character with a high enough level, these Ultra Rare gear pieces could be yours.

Before even trying to hunt for Unique drops, you need to have at least one character in World Tier 3 or 4. Reaching World Tier 3 in Diablo 4 can be done by finishing the Capstone Dungeon that unlocks once the main story has concluded. World Tiers represent higher difficulties, making every enemy stronger but also giving you better rewards for defeating the dangerous forces Lilith has raised from Hell.

How to Find the Rarest Unique Items in Diablo 4

Diablo 4 Inarius Statue to Change World Tiers for Higher Difficulties

Six Unique Items are considered "Ultra Rare" drops in Diablo 4, since these gear pieces are always found with 820 Item Power and come from level 85+ enemies at places where you could get a normal Unique. Consisting of two Helms, one Amulet, one Ring, and twoSword weapons, these Uniques already hit the maximum power an item can have in the game. In addition, every effect from the rare Unique items work with any character class.

Since you are able to grab the rarest drops in the same locations as other Unique items, visiting a Helltide or Nightmare Dungeon might be the best way to start looking for the six Ultra Rares. Helltides in Diablo 4 are world events that turn a section of Sanctuary red on your map, hosting stronger enemies and rewards that are unlocked by collecting enough Aberrant Cinders to open Tortured Chests around the area.

On the other hand, Nightmare Dungeons are transformed from normal dungeons you have already cleared throughout Sanctuary using Nightmare Sigils. To obtain a Sigil, you must be on World Tier 3 with your character before finding specific Sigils as drops much like a weapon or gear piece. The best Nightmare dungeons for loot or XP in Diablo 4 typically have the highest chance to drop a Unique item as well, so one of the Ultra Rare pieces could be found in those spots.

Every Ultra Rare Unique Item in Diablo 4

Diablo 4 Ultra Rare Unique Gear Items and their Abilities

Doombringer

Diablo4-Doombringer

Unique Item Effect - Lucky Hit: Up to a high percentage chance to deal Shadow Damage to surrounding enemies and reduce their damage done by 20% for 5 seconds.

A Slashing, One-Handed Sword, Doombringer is a fast weapon that dishes out massive Area of Effect (AoE) Shadow Damage to enemies to give you a better option for Crowd Control. The damage reduction that comes with this weapon is fantastic for challenging dungeons that try to overwhelm characters with hordes of tough enemies. Doombringer also has a 5% chance to heal your character for a ton of life, which might happen often considering how fast this weapon swings.

The Grandfather

Diablo4-The-Grandfather

Unique Item Effect - Increases your Critical Strike Damage by [60-100]%. The other properties on this weapon can roll higher than normal.

This Two-Handed Sword has a chance to double your character's Critical Hit damage, making this weapon capable of dishing out some of the highest numbers in Diablo 4. While it may be a bit slower than Doombringer, this weapon ignores Durability loss, making it ignore the consequences of a character death. Since any other property on The Grandfather roll higher than normal, all the stat boosts it gives are always going to be stronger when compared to other Unique items.

Ring of Starless Skies

Diablo4-Ring-of-Starless-Skies

Unique Item Effect - Each consecutive Core Skill cast reduces the Resource cost of your next Core Skill by [8-12]%, up to a maximum of 40%.

Sometimes in dungeons, a Shrine could make a character not have any cooldown or resource cost for their abilities, a trait which this Ring reflects. The Ring of Starless Skies s any build that relies on Core Skills, which could include abilities like the Necromancer's Blight to the Barbarian's Whirlwind in Diablo 4. Any item that allows you to use more skills for less cost gives a character far better ways to deal more damage or even allies.

Andariel's Visage

Diablo4-Andariels-Visage

Unique Item Effect - Lucky Hit: Up to a [15-20]% chance to trigger a poison nova that applies a high amount of Poisoning damage over 5 seconds to enemies in an area.

Not only does this Unique Helm provide you with large bonuses to Life Steal, general Stats, and Attack Speed, but also a fantastic Crowd Control effect that will linger long enough to likely happen again. This gives you almost constant poison novas to use against enemies, dealing damage over time that wipes out small fry while consistently draining the life of tougher foes. Those who use a Trap focused Rogue in Diablo 4 could benefit from this item the most, since it works well with that build's skills.

Harlequin Crest

Diablo4-Harlequin-Crest

Unique Item Effect - Gain [10-20]% Damage Reduction. In addition, gain +4 Ranks to all Skills.

Every build for any class in Diablo 4 could use this Helm to bolster the Ranks of all their skills, leaving the rest of their points to invest into ive abilities. The Ranks given with this item allow you to freely switch builds with your character on the fly for different challenges without having to worry about refunding points. The Damage Reduction provided by this Unique gear piece gives you a healthy amount of defense against stronger bosses such as Elias in Diablo 4 from the World Tier 4 Capstone Dungeon.

Melted Heart of Selig

Diablo4-Melted-Heart-of-Selig

Unique Item Effect - Gain +30% Maximum Resource. In addition, when you take damage, drain [8-3] Resource for every 1% of Life you would have lost instead.

Similar to the Ring of Starless Skies, this Amulet gives you extra opportunities to use a character's skills before having to replenish a class resource. However, this time around, the Melted Heart of Selig rewards those who continuously have resource to spend, having it act almost like a second health globe when you take damage. If you find out where you might get one of the rarest Unique items in Diablo IV, it is highly recommended to hope for this one first to take full advantage of this boost to a class resource pool.
