If you are looking to maximize your rewards and adapt to the evolving gameplay in Sanctuary, following us to check out how to use and get Divine Gifts in Diablo 4 Season 11!

What Are Divine Gifts in Diablo 4 Season 11?

Divine Gifts are a new mechanic provided by Hadriel, an angel returning from previous Diablo lore. Hadriel grants the player a rare boon to combat the resurgence of the Lesser Evils. These boons manifest as Divine Gifts, offering both increased rewards and new opportunities in Season 11.

Each Divine Gift is tied to one of the four Lesser Evils: Duriel, Andariel, Azmodan, and Belial, and comes with three components: a reward, a corrupted gift, and a purified gift. These gifts present unique interactions, allowing you to influence the way you approach different seasonal activities and challenges.

How Do Divine Gifts Work?

Upon defeating a Lesser Evil in their respective seasonal domain, you obtain their Corrupted Essence. Returning this essence to Hadriel allows you to unlock two Divine Gifts for that evil: one for each slot in the Divine Gifts interface.

• Corrupted Gifts: Slotting a Divine Gift into the outer (corrupted) slot increases the challenge of related activities, but grants the core reward. For example, slotted corrupted gifts might cause more frequent enemy ambushes or expose you to environmental hazards, all while giving you additional loot.

• Purified Gifts: The inner (purified) slot removes the negative challenge, provides a gameplay boon (such as increased resistances or healing), and doubles the associated reward.

Corrupted slots unlock immediately after defeating the corresponding Lesser Evil. Purified slots require progress through the Divine Favor reputation board—unlocking at specific ranks: Duriel at Rank II, Andariel at Rank IV, Azmodan at Rank VI, and Belial at Rank VIII.

You’re free to adjust which gifts are active at any time. If a particular challenge proves too much, simply swap out the gift for something more suitable to your current build or playstyle.
