The Umbracrux is a newly-added Rogue-exclusive unique item in Diablo 4 Season 5. It is a powerful weapon that summons an attackable Shade Totem that disperses any damage taken to the enemies around it. Luckily, the item isn’t a Mythic item, so it wouldn’t be as hard to find. Here’s how to get the Umbracrux unique item in Diablo 4 Season 5.

Where to Get the Umbracrux Unique in Diablo 4 Season 5

The best way to farm the Umbracrux unique will depend on your character’s power and level. To target farm the Umbracrux unique, you want to open one-handed Cinder chests in Helltides. Generally, Helltides is also the best way to level up at the start of your playthrough. Your goal is to fill up the Helltide Threat Meter as fast as possible and continue killing monsters to get Abberant Cinders. Use these Aberrant Cinders to open one-handed weapon Cinder chests and repeat.

Since one-handed weapon Cinder chests are limited per Helltide event, you can start Blood Maiden Events by using the Baneful Hearts you have accumulated from opening these chests. You’ll continuously get more Abberant Cinders, so you should use them before the Helltide event ends.

You’ll occasionally finish Grim Favors by doing this method, and you can also get a Tree of Whisper reward, which can give you an Umbracrux unique if you get lucky.

If your character’s power is a bit stronger, you can go for Nightmare Dungeons and finish them as fast as possible. The final boss will always drop some amazing loot, such as legendary weapons, but you’ll also occasionally find unique item drops. If you start smashing through the highest tier of Nightmare Dungeons, it’ll be much easier to find unique, and eventually, you’ll find The Umbracrux weapon. Keep in mind that you need to be using a Rogue to have this item drop.

The Umbracrux Stats and Unique Effect in Diablo 4 Season 5

In the image above, you can see the maximum stat values for the Umbracrux unique item. Most of these stats don’t matter if the weapon’s item power isn’t 925 because you’ll lose a lot of damage from the base stats. Once you get some 925 item power Umbracrux, you want Subterfuge CDR stats, and Innervation maxed out.

In the endgame, your goal is to find Greater Affixes on the weapon, which will take hundreds of hours of farming, depending on your luck.
