P4wnyhof posted a complete video on the best methods to farm Diablo 4 mythic items in Lord of Hatred. Horadric Seals, Kurast Undercity, Resplendent Sparks, Mephisto — here is everything you need to know to maximize your drop rate on Diablo 4 mythic items right now.
The basics: Torment and Diablo 4 mythic items drop rate
In Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred, your Torment level has a direct impact on your chances of obtaining Diablo 4 mythic items. The higher you push in Torment, the higher the drop rate climbs. Torment 10 goes even further: it specifically boosts the drop rate of Mythic Horadric Seals, making it a key threshold to reach before seriously hunting Diablo 4 mythic items.
Kurast Undercity: the best method for Diablo 4 mythic items
Welcome to the Kurast Undercity. This solo or group content is by far the most rewarding source of Diablo 4 mythic items in Lord of Hatred, and it relies on a tribute system that many players have not yet fully exploited.
It all starts with tributes. You can upgrade them: blue to yellow, yellow to legendary. Nothing new so far. But here is the key detail most players have missed: the legendary Tribute of Armaments can be merged into a Mythic Tribute of Armaments. All it takes is five of them. These legendary tributes drop everywhere in the world: Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, world bosses, and various activities. Once you have all five, merge them and the Mythic Tribute of Armaments is yours. The yield for obtaining mythic uniques skyrockets from there.
To get the most out of every run, the Kurast Undercity talent tree must be configured precisely. Head to tier 4, left path. Here is what each node provides in order:
- Node 1: opens additional invasion portals.
- Node 2: invasion portals can summon Wisps.
- Node 3: interacting with Spirit Beacons can spawn Portal Pranksters. Each portal goblin killed rewards a bonus chest at the end of the run.
- Node 4: for each Portal Prankster eliminated, an additional chest opens with tributes inside.
The talent tree setup
Combining this tier 4 left path with a Mythic Tribute of Armaments significantly increases your mythic loot chances. The goal during each run is simple: activate every single Spirit Beacon without exception. Not a single portal goblin should get away. Every missed Portal Prankster is a lost bonus chest.
Watch out for the timer. Undercity runs at increased difficulty (monster power +4, 45 seconds on the clock) can catch you off guard. Killing enemies to regain time is essential, which is precisely why playing in a group of four is strongly recommended. One player handles the portal goblins, another extends the timer by eliminating enemies, and everyone brings their Mythic Tribute. The ideal setup: have five players raise legendary tributes together, merge them into a mythic tribute, then chain runs in high Torment taking turns. Solo is doable, but the risk of missing Spirit Beacons or running out of time is very real.
At the end of each run, do not overlook the 4 achievements to complete in order to unlock the maximum rewards, on top of the bonus chests from the portal goblins. The final boss also rewards you with several chests. And if you have a Tribute of Titans in your pocket, you can open an additional chest at the end for one more shot at a mythic. A full run with this setup can yield two Diablo 4 mythic items in a single session, like 
Harlequin Crest and 
Tyrael's Might in the same run, with a potential third hiding in the Tribute of Titans chest.
The Tree of Whispers: another source of Resplendent Sparks
The Tree of Whispers can also drop Diablo 4 mythic items. But where it gets really interesting is in its talent tree: taking the central path unlocks more experience and more choices. From there you can access the mystery caches, which already contain enough to make the effort worthwhile.
And each mystery cache has a small chance to drop a 
Resplendent Spark. The probability remains very low, but it exists. Think of it as passive bonus: you complete your Whispers as usual, and every once in a while, a pleasant surprise shows up.
Resplendent Sparks: All Available Sources for Diablo 4 Mythic Items
Resplendent Sparks are the key currency for obtaining your first Diablo 4 mythic items without relying on pure luck. Two crafting paths exist right now. The first is the Blacksmith: his unique mythic cache is always available for 50 million gold, and he'll give you a unique of your choice in exchange for two Resplendent Sparks. It's not cheap, but it's reliable. The second option is the Jeweler, who lets you craft a specific mythic directly in exchange for runes. On paper it sounds appealing. In practice, almost no one has the runes to spare for that, even knowing that the Horadric Cube now allows you to upgrade them. You can fuse six Zen runes to get a legendary rune, or attempt transmutations in groups of three if you're looking for a specific legendary. Handy for optimizing your stock, but not enough to justify blowing your runes at the Jeweler.
The Jeweler: an option that exists, but isn't worth it
Technically, the Jeweler can craft any mythic as long as you have the required runes. In reality, it's an option you'll keep in reserve without ever really using it. It's better to focus your runes on targeted transmutations via the Horadric Cube and let your Resplendent Sparks do the work at the Blacksmith.
Seasonal tiers are arguably the most accessible source of Resplendent Sparks, especially early in the season. Tier 6 requires killing a Greater Layer Boss on Torment 6, which remains reasonable for most properly geared builds. Tier 7 is the Echo of Lilith on Torment 8. And here's some great news: if you haven't faced Lilith in a while, the current version is incomparably simpler. She barely has any health left. If your build reaches a few hundred billion damage, which is achievable on many classes in Lord of Hatred, you'll destroy her before she even gets to launch her second phase. The disappearing platform edges, the endless phases? Forget it. You also pick up the Crooks of the False Prophet along the way, which you'll need later.
Tier 8 requires you to eliminate elite or champion monsters on Torment 9. Useful clarification: the game says "Torment 9 only," but in reality higher difficulty levels also count. After that, defeating the Echo of Mephisto on Torment 12 grants a Spark and a Resplendent Spark cache, which also contains Crooks of the False Prophet. For the final tier, you'll need to face Astaroth via an 
Escalation Sigil. Important tip if you're running low: slot five Escalation Sigils into the Horadric Cube to get a Nightmare one. However, make sure you've cleared most Strongholds beforehand. If the system places you in an incomplete Stronghold, your progress is cancelled and you lose the sigil.
The final seasonal sources cover a good number of bosses you'll encounter naturally while farming. Lilith on Torment 12 in Infernal Hordes drops a Spark, as does Belial Lord of Lies on Torment 12, and the tormented duo formed by the Echoes of Vhenard and Duriel at the same difficulty level. Blood Maiden on Torment 12 is also on the list. None of these Sparks are guaranteed on every run, but if you're exploring endgame content normally, you'll unlock them progressively without having to hunt each one individually.
Mephisto and Mythic Seals: Key Diablo 4 Mythic Items to Know
Mephisto is the new uber boss of Lord of Hatred, hidden in Scosglen and only accessible starting at Torment 10. The fight unfolds in three phases: his Meteor form, his star form, and finally his star form with the big hat. Let's be clear: the fight is packed with absurd one-shots and you need several hundred billion damage to have any hope of taking him down. A few builds handle it well, though. The Warlock with the Tyranny's Grasp build works very well, the Apocalypse build is also a solid option, and the Necromancer Army of the Dead can get the job done. If your build holds up, pushing to Torment 12 is still worthwhile for the seasonal reward, but not necessarily for farming.
Here's the catch: killing Mephisto does not guarantee a Mythic Seal. There's a chance, not a certainty. And going up to Torment 11 or 12 doesn't increase it by much compared to Torment 10. The content creator in the video killed him three times in a row without seeing a single seal drop. Three times. That's what you'd call getting burned by RNG. So if the plan was to farm Mephisto on repeat until a seal drops, you'd better reset your expectations before finding yourself killing the boss for the tenth time empty-handed.
There is some good news though: the seals that summon Mephisto aren't exclusive to that boss. Like most Diablo 4 mythic items, they can drop anywhere in the world, in Helltides, doing various activities, pretty much everywhere. Mephisto simply has a higher-than-average drop rate. As for the Crooks of the False Prophet, the keys needed to summon the boss, they aren't rare either. They drop from Greater Layer Bosses, Key Spots, World Bosses, and open-world elites. Guaranteed sources also exist: seasonal tier 7 gives a key, Resplendent caches can contain them, Belial the Lord of Lies gives another, and opening Layer Boss hordes on Torment 11 or higher also provides them. In other words, you'll have your chances of crossing paths with him whether you want to or not.
Layer Bosses: Passive Farming for Diablo 4 Mythic Items
Layer Bosses are another solid way to accumulate Diablo 4 mythic items, especially if you're killing them anyway for progression. Initiate Layer Bosses can already drop mythic items, but it's the Greater Layer Bosses that offer an even higher chance. The Palace of the Deceiver is the boss with the best odds in this category. Several players have pulled two 
The Grandfathers from farming these bosses, two 
Rings of Starless Skies, and a 
Shroud of False Death. The chance is around 3.5%, it's not huge, but it's consistent.
To improve that rate even further, you can increase the monster power of Layer Bosses: the higher the power, the better the rewards. The Layer of Plenty adds an extra horde chest on opening, which multiplies your chances of seeing a mythic drop. Every upgrade counts, and they stack.
The central path of the layer tree offers another interesting option: killing a normal or greater Layer Boss has a chance to open a Nemesis Portal. At the end of the path, the Ultimate Nemesis Portal is accessible by spending five Betrayer's Husks. In return, you get 10 horde chests with even higher monster power. If you have questions about what worked best for you, post them in the comments, and don't hesitate to brag a little about how many mythics you've already found.
