What are all the Unique items in Diablo 4? You can find Unique items while defeating tough monsters on the higher world tier Nightmare and Torment campaign difficulties. They are as rare as they are powerful, making them the hardest to find – and hardest to catalog – items in the game.

Luckily though, we’ve been able to put many hours in Diablo 4‘s Sanctuary seeking out these hard-to-come-by items. If you’re looking to take the best Diablo 4 class into the game with your Diablo 4 mount, make sure to check our extensive D4 Unique item guide before jumping in.

What are Diablo 4 Unique items?

Diablo 4 has five different rarity levels for equipment: Normal, Magic, Rare, Legendary, and Unique. By far, the rarest and most powerful of these are Unique items.

In-game, they appear as goldish brown text, not to be confused with a Legendary item’s orange hue. As their name suggests, they feature a unique effect – called an affix – and an appearance that you won’t find anywhere else. They also come with four overpowered regular affixes applied to them.

According to Blizzard, many of these items will have such powerful affixes that they will define end-game builds. Most of them correspond to a specific class. However, several Unique items can be equipped by any class.

Several aspects of Unique items are – sorry – unique. Only one can be equipped at any time. Their affixes cannot be changed and are always the same. Affixes also cannot be removed and enchanted onto other items. However, the number values of affixes can be different, along with the damage output and defense ratings. One Butcher’s Cleaver, for instance, might have higher damage per hit and a greater chance to strike fear into enemies than another. You can upgrade these four times as opposed to the standard three.

How do I get Diablo 4 Unique items?

Here’s how to get Unique items in Diablo 4:

Clear the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon on world tier two.
Select the third or fourth world tier difficulty.
Defeat bosses throughout Sanctuary.
Repeat until a Unique item drops.

Unique items will only drop on the Nightmare and Torment world tiers, which unlock after you beat the campaign on either the Adventure or Veteran tiers. Then, you must then clear the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon in Kyovashad on the Veteran tier. This dungeon is recommended for characters above level 50, so it takes a while to get to the point where Unique items will begin to drop for you.

On Nightmare and Torment, boss fights and special enemy encounters will have a small chance to drop a Unique item. In true Diablo fashion, they are designed for you to grind for, likely requiring you to defeat foes to loot them repeatedly. The Butcher, for instance, has a low chance of dropping The Butcher’s Cleaver. Furthermore, The Butcher appears randomly in dungeons, making it a difficult item to obtain.

Expect most bosses during the main quest to have a Unique item tied to them, especially the bosses at the end of each Act, such as Lilith’s Lament and possibly end-game Nightmare Dungeons. Do note that this early in the game’s lifespan, we do not know if there are other methods to obtain Unique items, but we will update here if we discover them.

All Diablo 4 Unique items

Below is our ever-expanding list of Unique item locations in Diablo 4. All of the Unique items in the game were datamined by the Diablo 4 Database during the beta, thus, they’re subject to change or may not feature right now. Until we confirm otherwise, Unique items yet to be found in-game will be labeled unconfirmed. We’ve only included the Unique affix and its effect on the unconfirmed items for brevity’s sake.
