Diablo 4 Necromancers have a wealth of great Unique picks, but Blood Moon Breeches are among the best of the best. Easily one of our favorite pairs of pants, it offers a significant boost in power to your Undead Army. The base stats on it are already incredible, offering +Curse Duration, +Curse Skills, and +Overpower Damage, but it has other special abilities that make it worth having.
Introduced back in Diablo 4’s Season of Blood, the Blood Moon Breeches remains a useful, powerful, unique item to have in any Necromancer’s kit. As long as they’re focused on having a huge skeleton army, at least. Here’s what you can do to make it easier to farm this item.
How to farm for Blood Moon Breeches in Diablo 4
If you want to target farm for Blood Moon Breeches in Diablo 4, fight Echo of Duriel, Maggot King, and Echo of Andariel. This doesn’t require you to fight their level 200 versions, but you do need to invest some time in World Tier 4 if you’re going to target farm these bosses. If this is the route you want to take, you’ll need their summoning ingredients. Here’s what you need, and the locations of these bosses:
- Duriel (Gaping Crevasse, Kehjistan): 2x Mucus-Slick Egg (Echo of Varshan), 2x Shard of Agony (Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint)
- Andariel (Hanged Man’s Hall, Kehjistan): 2x Sandscorched Shackles (Lord Zir), 2x Pincushioned Doll (The Beast in the Ice)
You may also receive these summoning materials as a part of the Season Journey rewards in Season 5, and beyond. However, this is not the only place these will drop. Virtually any unique, boss, or chest can drop the Blood Moon Breeches in Diablo 4. You can even potentially get them in your Seasonal Reward chests as well.
You could also fight the Tormented versions of Duriel and Andariel, which are significantly harder (level 200), and have higher summoning costs:
- Tormented Duriel: 6x Mucus-Slick Egg, 6x Shard of Agony, 1x Stygian Stone
- Tormented Andariel: 6x Sandscorched Shackles, 6x Pincushioned Dolls, 1x Stygian Stone
While target farming is an option, you have other ways. Simply playing through late-game activities, such as Nightmare Dungeons, Helltides, and the new Infernal Hordes mode are all excellent places to see the Blood Moon Breeches drop. It’s a sad fact that no place guarantees these will drop, but these are your best options.
What is the Blood Moon Breeches’ Unique passive in Diablo 4?
The Blood Moon Breeches in Diablo 4 is a powerful pair of Unique pants exclusively for Necromancers. They can increase your Overpower Damage, Curse Duration, Maximum Life, and Curse Skills as part of their baseline stats. They also feature the following unique passive:
“Your Minions’ attacks have a [3.0-7.0]% chance to inflict Decrepify or Iron Maiden. You deal [100-150]% increased Overpower damage to enemies affected by your Curses.”
That means you don’t have to wait for your Skeletons to curse enemies. You can just do it yourself with a massive Decrepify pool. The increased damage is something viable for so many Necromancer builds. While it’s not the most powerful Unique you can find, it’s certainly very desirable.
