Where To Get Corrupted Horn Of Duriel?
The Corrupted Horn of Duriel can be obtained in Helltide areas during Season 11 by locating the Pained Altars to summon Duriel.
Helltide areas activate periodically, lasting for a limited time before disappearing and reappearing in a new location later.
How To Get Corrupted Horn of Duriel?
Defeat Duriel (Lesser Evil) in Helltide Areas
To get a Corrupted Horn of Duriel, you will need to head to the Helltide areas where Duriel’s Pained Altars may be found.
This will require that you use 1 Baneful Heart on each of them, which will disrupt Duriel’s Ritual, drawing his attention to your location.
You will have to fight enemies that come after you, and after a period, Duriel will appear and needs to be defeated.
Defeating Duriel may result in a Corrupted Horn of Duriel dropping, but this is not guaranteed, as it only happens by chance.
Best Way to Farm Corrupted Horn of Duriel
To farm large amounts of Corrupted Horn of Duriel, you will need to spend a significant amount of time in Helltide areas while they are active across Sanctuary.
You will first need to farm Baneful Hearts, which requires collecting Aberrant Cinders and opening Tortured Gift Chests throughout the Helltide.
Baneful Hearts can also drop from defeated enemies within Helltides, making it best to remain in these zones while farming.
Once you have enough Baneful Hearts, you can use them to summon Duriel in the Helltide and defeat him for a chance to obtain a Corrupted Horn of Duriel.
How To Use Corrupted Horn of Duriel?
Corrupted Horn of Duriel is used to open Duriel’s Hoard, which becomes available after you have defeated Azmodan in the Fields of Desecration.
You will need a total of 5 Corrupted Horns of Duriel to open the Hoard, which will provide you with special rewards, including Legendary Items and Crafting Materials.
Purified Horn of Duriel
The Purified Horn of Duriel is the purified version of the Corrupted Horn and can occasionally drop from Duriel during Helltide encounters once his ritual has been disrupted.
Activating this horn at a hidden shrine transports players to a dungeon where all Lesser Evils can be challenged together.
Verdict
Farming Corrupted Horns of Duriel is best approached by consistently running Helltides and stockpiling Baneful Hearts for repeated summons.
Although drops are chance-based, efficient routing and extended Helltide sessions help smooth out the randomness over time.
Gathering enough horns is key to unlocking Duriel’s Hoard after Azmodan, making them a worthwhile focus during Season 11 endgame progression.
