How to Get Shako in Diablo 4

Blizzard Steps In to Clear the Air

The mystery surrounding ultra-rare uniques in Diablo 4 was finally addressed. Blizzard’s lead class designer, Adam Jackson, confirmed the existence of these highly sought-after items. He clarified that these powerful items do drop, but their acquisition relies heavily on luck. Players can find them from enemies at level 85 and above, and they always have an Item Power of 820. These items share the same drop conditions as regular unique items.

What Are Uniques?

Uniques in Diablo 4 are the most potent gear obtainable. Unlike regular items with random affixes, uniques feature specific, powerful abilities. These are fixed and cannot be modified or transferred to other gear. They represent the pinnacle of item power and offer unique advantages to players.

What Are the Six Ultra Rare Uniques?

The six ultra-rare uniques, highly coveted by players, are:

• The Grandfather (Two-handed Sword): Increases Critical Strike Damage by a significant amount (60-100%).
• Harlequin Crest (Helm): Provides substantial damage reduction (10-20%) and boosts all skills by +4.
• Doombringer (One-handed Sword): Offers a chance to deal massive shadow damage to surrounding enemies and reduces enemy damage.
• Melted Heart of Selig (Amulet): Boosts maximum resources whenever you take damage and draws resources based on life lost.
• Ring of Starless Skies (Ring): Reduces the cost of subsequent core skills, potentially reaching a 40% reduction.
• Andariels’ Visage (Helm): Includes a chance for a damaging poison nova and grants life steal.

Getting the Goods

Obtaining these ultra-rare uniques boils down to sheer luck. There’s no guaranteed method to farm them. The best approach is to engage in activities that yield the most uniques, however, there’s no established way to grind for specific ultra-rare uniques. Acquiring one feels akin to winning the lottery.

It’s also worth noting that, unlike some previous Diablo games, these ultra-rares cannot be traded, limiting their availability.

It’s Not That Bad

Despite the incredibly low drop rates, some players appreciate the excitement of potentially finding these highly sought-after items. Diablo 4 is designed to be a long-term experience, and the rarity of these uniques contributes to that longevity. Time will tell if Blizzard adjusts the drop rates for these items in future updates.

While some find the acquisition method frustrating, others see these ultra-rare uniques as a driving force for community excitement. The long-term nature of Diablo 4, and the mystery surrounding these items, could prove a catalyst for players to continue playing the game.
