Season 11 of Diablo 4 is packed with surprises, and there’s one item that’s generating buzz among players: the Unique Purified Essences. These essences drop when you take down the Lesser Evils, like Belial and Duriel, and act as keys to enhancing your game. Imagine having the power to modify your Divine Gifts and unlock even more potential! That’s what these essences can do for you.
But here’s the kicker: even after you hand them over to Hadriel to unlock the Purified Slots for your Divine Gifts, you can keep hunting for more. Players are speculating about the other mysterious uses these essences might have in the game. Could they be the gateway to something even bigger this season? The excitement is palpable!
How to Obtain Unique Purified Essences in Diablo 4 Season 11
To start collecting these essences, you need to hand them over to Hadriel until you’ve unlocked the Purified Slots for all eight Divine Gifts available in Season 11. These Purified Slots act as enhancements, giving you positive modifiers that could turn the tide in battles.
After you’ve unlocked the slots, the real adventure kicks in. You can take these essences to the mystery altars scattered throughout Sanctuary, one for each of the four Lesser Evils: Andariel, Azmodan, Belial, and Duriel. When you bring the essences to the right altar, it begins to glow with flames. But here’s where things get puzzling; currently, interacting with these altars yields no results. Why? It could be that:
- You need additional Purified Essences for each altar to trigger any effects.
- This mystery might reveal itself later in the season with more content from Blizzard.
While the second option seems less likely, the speculations keep the community buzzing with enthusiasm!

Here’s a quick rundown of where to find the four Purified Essence altars across Sanctuary:
Altar of Lies and Altar of Sin

The Altar of Lies sits in the Seat of the Heavens in Fractured Peaks, where you can use the Purified Eye of Belial. Meanwhile, the Altar of Sin is hiding in the Umir Plateau in Hawezar, waiting for you to offer the Purified Tongue of Azmodan.
Altar of Pain and Altar of Anguish

The Altar of Pain can be found in Caldeum, ready to receive the Purified Horn of Duriel. On the other hand, venture to the Seven Stones Region in Nahantu to find the Altar of Anguish, which craves the Purified Claw of Andariel.
