Diablo 4 players have an array of items and equipment to hunt for, with the best level of these being unique.

How to get the rarest items in Diablo 4
Unique items are already difficult to get your hands on in Diablo 4 but the six rarest items in the game knock this up a notch, with additional requirements in order to have any chance of them dropping.
Firstly, you must be in World Tier Four in Diablo 4, as these uniques are exclusive to the highest difficulty level in the game. While some unique items can be found in World Tier Three, these six are not among them. You will then need to defeat enemies that are at least level 85, as anything lower cannot drop these uniques, and, unlike other uniques, these cannot be found by opening chests or destroying items.
It has been confirmed by the devs when you find a unique, having met these requirements, there is a chance for the drop to be one of these six items instead.
Therefore, the best way to farm these super-rare uniques is to focus on content that provides the most unique items per time spent playing. As such, we recommend farming Nightmare Dungeons if you’re on the hunt for these uniques.
While other aspects can often provide quicker access to uniques, like Helltides, they are usually due to the fact you can get them as rewards for completing events and unlocking chests. Given these six super-rare items are locked to defeating enemies, that becomes obsolete.
When running Nightmare Dungeons, you need to ensure you are at the required Tier for level 85 enemies to spawn, as it will not scale to your level. As such, ensure your Nightmare Sigils are at least Tier 32 before venturing out on your adventure.
