Diablo 4: Greater Infernal Caches, explained

Diablo 4 has further evolved in Season 10: Season of Infernal Chaos, bringing new endgame systems and introducing new mechanics in the Infernal Hordes, which now allow you to earn some of the most valuable loot in Sanctuary. Among these rewards in Season 10, the Greater Infernal Cache stands as the most noteworthy. This cache is crucial to unlocking and acquiring the new Chaos Armors in Diablo 4 Season 10.

In this guide, we will break down everything about the Greater Infernal Caches, including what they are, how they work, and how to get them in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4: What are Greater Infernal Caches?

The newly introduced Greater Infernal Caches are high-value reward chests tied to Season 10’s Infernal Warp Reputation System as well as other endgame activities. Unlike other loot caches, like the Spoils of Hell, the Greater Infernal Caches yield some of the most valuable loot in the game. Among these rewards is also a guaranteed drop for Chaos Armor.

Each of these caches can be build-defining while running Torment difficulty in Diablo 4. They act as your go-to option for acquiring the highly valuable Chaos Unique Armor, random Uniques, crafting materials, and gold.

How to earn the Greater Infernal Chests in Diablo 4

You can earn Greater Infernal Chests by progressing through the Infernal Warp Reputation track of Season 10. Here’s how you do it:

1) Farm Chaos Rifts and Helltides for Infernal Warp

Chaos Rifts are a special variant of rifts found during Helltide events and inside Nightmare Dungeons. These regularly drop Infernal Warp, the new seasonal currency, which is critical to reputation progression in Season 10.

These Chaos Rifts are the primary source to acquire Chaos Armor and Infernal Compasses in the game.

2) Exchanging Infernal Warps for Warp Scrolls

After collecting enough Infernal Warps, go to the vendor Yelesna to exchange them for Infernal Scrolls. Yelesna, the scroll vendor, can be found near the reputation board. Each Warp Scroll gives you 6,000 Seasonal Reputation, making them the quickest way to climb the reputation tiers in Season 10.

3) Climb the Seasonal Reputation tiers

As you climb the reputation tiers, you unlock rewards at each tier. These rewards include crafting materials, Smoldering Ashes, and the most valuable Greater Infernal Caches.

These special caches are repeatable once you reach Tier 24. This means you can continue to climb your reputation for guaranteed Chaos Armor drops.

4) Ultimate blessing: Urn of Chaos Armor

From the Seasonal Journey, you can acquire Smoldering Ashes. Use these to invest in the Urn of Chaos Armor blessing. When it’s maxed out, you can yield one Chaos Armor from every single Greater Infernal Cache.

5) Optional farming method: Bartuc

You can fight Bartuc, the new boss in Infernal Hordes, to acquire a guaranteed Chaos Armor drop per clear. This is only possible on Torment 3 or 4 difficulties.

Best farming loop for the Greater Infernal Caches

You should find the most efficient way to farm these special caches in Diablo 4. Here’s a loop that works efficiently:

• Run Nightmare Dungeons and follow it with Helltides to maximize the collection of Infernal Warps and Chaos Rift Sigils.
• Use these Chaos Rift Sigils to open Chaos Rifts; this allows you to earn more Infernal Warps. These rifts often yield Chaos Armor pieces directly.
• Use these Infernal Warps to purchase Warp Scrolls to quickly boost reputation.

Repeat this loop to quickly climb higher in reputation during the Season of Infernal Chaos.

Importance of Greater Infernal Caches in Diablo 4

The Greater Infernal Caches are the primary way to acquire Chaos Armor in the game. Chaos Armors are Chaos Uniques that are alternate-slot versions of preexisting Unique armors. This allows you to get gear combinations that were impossible before.

Here’s an example:

• The Fist of Fate is a Unique glove; as a Chaos variant, it can drop as a helm, pants, or chest piece, allowing you to use it alongside another beneficial glove.

Chaos Unique Armors always drop at maximum modifier-roll values and contain one guaranteed Greater Affix. These armors always come with a 20% stronger Unique Effect. This makes the acquisition of Greater Infernal Caches vital to Diablo 4’s endgame build optimization.
