If you want to battle the Season of Blood boss, Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint in Diablo 4, you must get Living Steel to summon him. You will need two Living Steel to summon Grigoire in World Tier Three (Nightmare) and five in World Tier Four (Torment). However, getting even one Living Steel is challenging as you must get a unique currency first.

Apart from Grigoire, you can also battle other bosses as part of the Season 2 endgame additions. There are five bosses: Echo of Varshan, Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint, the Beast in Ice, Lord Zir, the Dark Master, and Zuriel, the King of Maggots. Fighting any of them will gain you hefty rewards, but these fights will also test your skills.

How To Get Living Steel

Unlock The Tortured Gifts of Living Steel Chests Using Aberrant Cinders

The best way to get Living Steel is from Tortured Gifts of Living Steel chests. These chests appear during t, which only occurs every two hours and fifteen minutes and lasts around an hour.

How To Farm (& Use) Forgotten Souls In Diablo 4

Farming one of the most scarce resources in Diablo 4 can be difficult, but there is one method to finding Forgotten Souls that will make it easier.

Anyone on World Tier 1 who has completed a campaign on their can participate, and players must unlock the Helltides through a quest located in Kyovashad. The Tortured Gifts of Living Steel chests appear randomly in the open world during the event. You can use D4Armory to find out where specific chests spawn to make it faster.

When the Helltide is ongoing, the area affected will turn red on the map. If you kill any enemies in this event area, you will get Aberrant Cinders. This is a type of currency that you use to unlock chests you find during Helltide. To unlock the Tortured Gifts of Living Steel chests, you will need 275 Aberrant Cinders.

Since Season 2, the way Living Steel is dropped during Helltides has changed. There are still specific chests for Living Steel that cost 275 to open, and you will be rewarded with 5 Living Steel. However, any chest opened with Aberrant Cinders during a Helltide event will give you 1 Living Steel.

Additionally, as of the current season and latest additions, Living Steel can be obtained in a few other ways, including from Nightmare Dungeon Diablo 4, although it is not guaranteed. Different methods for obtaining Living Steel include completing Local and World Events, where the drop rate is high, or completing some quests.

There is one other method to obtain living steel, which includes treasure goblins, but given their rarity and the odds of getting living steel in their drop, this should not be used as a farming method; it is just something to keep in mind.

For example, the Whispers of the Dead cache reward from the Tree of Whispers has a chance of being included, as do the Chache rewards from the Season Journey. Even so, the best way to find Living Steel remains within Helltide Chests.
