Diablo 3: forging hellfire ring - how it works

Forging the Hellfire Ring in Diablo 3 is not an easy undertaking, but requires a lot of work and hours of play. The Hellfire Ring is a legendary item that you can craft yourself. It is available in four versions, namely as a hellfire ring of skill, intelligence, vitality and strength. In this practical tip, we show you how you can craft the ring and what requirements you have to meet for it.

Overview of forging the Hellfire Ring

In order to manufacture the coveted ring, you have to meet certain requirements. The production is linked to the Infernale machine and the over-bosses. This means that three materials are needed to make the ring, which are dropped by the over-bosses. The over-bosses can only be reached through portals that are opened by the Infernale machine. However, you must first create these under certain conditions.

2. Find and defeat over-bosses
3. How to craft the Hellfire Ring

1. The Infernale machine

The Infernale machine is a portal device that opens the portals to the over-bosses. It can be made by Haedrig the Blacksmith. This must be at level 10 in order to learn the blacksmithing plan. In order for Haedrig to manufacture the equipment, you need certain items: the blacksmith's plan and three keys as well as some gold.

• You get the keys from three key keepers, which are distributed in Act I to III and can only be found on Inferno.
• Key 1: In Act I (Fields of Misery), Odeg the Key Keeper drops the Key of Destruction.
• Key 2: In Act II (Dhalgur Oasis), Sokahr the key keeper drops the key of hatred.
• Key 3: In Act III (Stone Fort), Xah'Rith the Key Keeper drops the Key of Terror.
• You can get the forging plan for the infernal machine in Act IV. Here Nekarat the key keeper in the Silver Tower (level 1) drops the coveted plan.

The "keys" to success - how to find

You only have to farm the forging plan once, but the three keys are new for each portal. Since three portals are required for the hellfire ring or the over-bosses, you need at least 3 times 3 keys, i.e. each key 3 times.

• In addition, the drop rate varies depending on the level of difficulty. This means that on Inferno - Easy the lowest probability is around 5 percent and on Master level 5 100 percent.
• In order for the keys to be dropped at all, you must have stacked the "Courage of the Nephalem" buff at least 3 times. You get the buff by killing elite opponents (yellow and blue) or by opening yellow chests.

On the way to Hellfire Ring

When you have all the keys together, you have to travel to New Tristam in Act I to have the Infernale machine made by the blacksmith. Then you have to destroy the door of the house in front of the brother Malachi the healer to activate the machine in the house. A portal will appear, which will take you to two of six over-bosses.

• An important tip: the portals appear randomly. This means that you cannot determine which portal appears. Therefore, it makes sense to enter the room with at least three Infernalen machines so that you can also enter 100% into each portal, since the portals do not appear twice.
• But that also means that it is best to farm three machines if you already have two ingredients for the ring, so that you can also safely get into the still missing portal, as they just appear random.

2. The over-bosses

Behind each of the portals are two over-bosses who drop the ingredients for the Hellfire Ring. Which ingredient you get depends on which portal you are in and which team of over-bosses you face. It is important, however, that the same applies here as for the keys before. The drop rate is determined by the level of difficulty in the same way as for the keys.

• In addition, you must have stacked the "Courage of the Nephalem" buff at least three times in order to be able to receive any ingredients.
• To get one of the three materials, you have to kill both bosses.

Ingredients for the Hellfire Ring

The bosses who drop the ingredients break down as follows:

• Left portal: The realm of discord with the Leoric and Maghda dropping the item "The Curved Spine".
• Middle portal: The realm of chaos with Qom and Rakanoth, who drop the item "The devil's fang".
• Right portal: The Realm of Turmoil with Zoltun Kulle and the Siege Breaker who drop the item "The Vengeful Eye".
• You get the blacksmith's plan or the jeweler's template to build the ring from Krümelchen in Act II in the hidden warehouse for 2 million gold.

3. Forge the Hellfire Ring

To forge the ring you need 50, 000 gold, the jewelry template and the three items. When you have everything together after a long farm, go to the jeweler Shen. This must have at least level 10 to be able to manufacture the ring. If all requirements are met, you can choose one of the four versions of the ring.

As you have probably noticed by reading the guide, the procurement of all materials is tedious and a lot of work. So the tip: don't try it on your own, but look for companions to farm everything. This saves you time and nerves. Please also be aware that the item is linked to an account and can therefore NOT be sold and NOT dropped.
