During the regularly occurring Hell Tides in Diablo 4, there are rare chests for 175 Anomalous Ember, which usually contain more loot than others in the area. Players have now compiled all known locations.
What are these chests? Hell Tides are one of the endgame contents of Diablo 4 that you can enter from world level 3. At certain intervals, an area of the world is overrun by demon hordes, causing enemies to become stronger and special loot to be found.
During the tides, “Tormented Gifts” also appear: chests that you must open with “Anomalous Ember”. This ember can be obtained from enemies and events in the tide.
Normally, these gifts are bound to specific slots like jewelry, weapons, headgear, etc. Therefore, you can target loot, which has some advantages. Depending on the slot, you pay between 75 and 150 ember.
However, it is also rare to find the “Tormented Gifts of Secrets”, which can contain all equipment pieces. These cost 175 ember to open. A user on Reddit has taken the effort to compile all locations on the map:
Unlike the other gifts, the Gift of Secrets is only visible on the map when you are nearby.
Reasons why the chests are worth it: The most important reason why the chests are worth it is Tormented Souls. You will need this material frequently for crafting later and it is only found in Hell Tides. The Tormented Gifts of Secrets drop multiple of them.
In addition, the Gifts of Secrets usually contain more Legendaries than the regular ones. While you often find only one there, the Mystery Chests usually drop between 3-5 Legendaries. This is worthwhile, especially if you:
- don’t need a specific slot, but are just gearing up
- or are on the hunt for good aspects
Since you can remove legendary powers from almost all items and transfer them to others, you don’t necessarily have to look for a specific equipment slot. With more Legendaries, you also get more of the important crafting materials, in case you don’t need the aspects.
175 Chests: Tormented Gifts in Hell Tides – How to Get Anomalous Ember
If you want to open the chests, you need a lot of Anomalous Ember. You can get this from all enemies in an area, but there are a few tricks you should keep in mind:
- look for areas with many enemies, especially with builds focused on area damage
- set out in a group to pull and defeat more enemies at once
- events are a good source for ember, especially if many enemies spawn in waves there. The chest at the end also grants ember
- elite enemies usually drop more ember
- ignore the boss at level 70+. He just takes a long time, but drops almost nothing
Depending on your build or group, you should be able to farm the ember in about 15-20 minutes. Since several Gifts of Secrets can appear per tide – usually one per area – you can also open several of them. Or you can use the ember for other gifts. This currency has no other use anyway.
