Diablo 4: How to Get Ingolith

Complete levels between Tier 31 and Tier 60 in The Pit of the Artificers or Tier 6+ Infernal Hordes to earn Ingolith. As of Season 5, the best way to earn any Masterworking materials is to complete higher tier Infernal Hordes. Once you can start completing Tier 7 hordes, you can easily collect hundreds of Neathiron from the spoils chests as a reward. Take all that Neathiron and bring it back to an alchemist to transmute materials. This way you can collect hundreds of Ingolith at a time in just minutes.

  • Complete Tiers 31-60 in The Pit
  • Finish Infernal Hordes at Tier 6+
  • Claim Seasonal Journey rewards.
  • Transmute Neathiron at an Alchemist.

If you can’t run through higher tiers of Infernal Hordes, then start with Tier 31+ in The Pit. Every time you complete a tier and reach the boss, you can guarantee Masterworking materials as long as you complete the run in under seven minutes. You might not get what you want each time, but materials aren’t the only rewards. So, it’s well worth spending the three Runeshards if you have them and jumping back in. If you don’t have enough Runeshards, you can find out how to get more here. The portal to reach The Pit of the Artificers can be found in the center of Cerrigar.

The other way to get Ingolith is to visit any alchemist vendor in Diablo 4 and have them transmute Neathiron. Out of the three Pit materials, Neathiron is the toughest to get, so only take this path if you’re super low on alternatives. The good news is that you at least get three pieces of Ingolith for every piece of Neathiron spent.

The main use for these Pit materials, which are Ingolith, Neathiron, and Obducite, is the Masterworking system introduced through the Season of Loot Reborn. Masterworking is like Tempering for endgame items. However, there is much more grinding involved, so you’ll want to wait until you have the best gear to work on for this system.

And that’s all there is to finding Ingolith. It’s all about running the Pit over and over.

Diablo 4 is available now on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
