Diablo Immortal offers raids, like any decent MMO. The raids are designed for 8 players and provide special rewards. However, you need to unlock this feature first – through the Helliquary. MeinMMO explains what you need to know about it.
What is the Helliquary? The Helliquary is an item that you need to collect. The mythical item is supposed to capture and seal the souls of powerful demons.
In Diablo Immortal, the Helliquary serves to unlock raids, where you can face a special boss with 8 players each week. Additionally, the Helliquary can be upgraded to provide you with special buffs.
Why should I use it? The upgrades of the Helliquary serve to strengthen your character. On one hand, you receive a buff to your combat rating, and on the other hand, an enhancement specifically in challenge portals.
However, to receive the rewards, you first need to obtain and then upgrade the Helliquary. We will reveal how this all works.
Here you will find everything you need to know about Diablo Immortal in 3 minutes:
Obtaining and Using the Helliquary
Where do I get the Helliquary? The questline for the Soul Helliquary starts around level 45. After completing the story in the Pestilent Marshes, you will receive a quest from Deckard Cain that leads you to the Barbarian blacksmith Rayek.

Rayek shows you his invention, the Soul Helliquary. In a short questline, you will be introduced to its function:
- you are to pick up and interact with the Helliquary
- a portal opens and Westmark seems to be overrun by demons
- you must fight back the demons and wake up from the vision
- talk to Cain about the experience and return to the Helliquary
The vision repeats there, where this time you have to face the Chaos Herald Pyl directly. Defeat the boss, and you will encounter Lassal, the first real raid boss of the game. You will fail, but afterwards, you will have unlocked the Helliquary as a feature.
How do I start raids? To face Lassal and later other raid bosses, you need to assemble a group of up to 8 players. The bosses are supposed to be soloable as well, but you actually need a group.
Go to the Frozen Tree in the center of Westmark and interact with the Helliquary there. First, you select a difficulty, which will show you the combat rating you should have for it. Choose Loot or Troop Loot to start the search.
You will then enter a menu, where you can either search for open groups or create your own. Join other players or open a group and invite friends. Optionally, you can wait until your raid fills up on its own.
Once you have enough players together, you can start. You will probably first face Lassal, the first available boss of the game. The fight takes place in a small room and is only against Lassal himself.
Defeating Bosses and Upgrading the Helliquary
How to defeat the bosses: Bosses have more abilities than regular enemies or “packs” in Diablo Immortal. Lassal, for example, attacks you with a flame bow, a fire beam, and bombs that detonate on different players.
Unlike in the open world or in dungeons, you need more coordination and possibly the right classes for support. Crusaders, Monks, and Necromancers are useful for keeping the group alive.
You can find the best classes in Diablo Immortal in the tier list and all 6 classes with gameplay in the video:
In the weeks and months after release, more and more bosses will be added to the Helliquary that you can defeat. So far, the following are known:
- Chaos Herald Pyl
- Lassal the Flame-bound
- Vitaath the Deathbringer
- Gorgothra the Ravager
- Beledwe and Gishtur
- Izilech the Defaced
For some of these bosses, you will need to upgrade the Helliquary first. For this, you will need a special material: Hellfire Scoria.
How to upgrade the Helliquary: To upgrade it, you need to refine regular Scoria at a blacksmith for a fee of 100 gold per unit. You receive Scoria by defeating Helliquary demons, in the Battle Pass, or through the paid section of the path of the prodigy.
Each upgrade of the Helliquary will cost you more Scoria, but will also provide you with a higher combat rating. Additionally, you will unlock slots where you can seal demonic relics.
The relics are special loot from Helliquary demons and further increase your combat rating. They also boost certain character stats while you are in challenge portals.
By the way, the Helliquary is not the only way to visit raids. The Immortal, the server’s leaders, even get a raid for 48 players:
