How to get and use Abyssal Scrolls in Diablo 4

One of the new features of Diablo 4 Season 5 is the introduction to the Infernal Hordes mode. It’s an endgame activity similar to The Pit where enemies get progressively tougher, but you’ll need a certain item to even participate. The item in question is Abyssal Scrolls, so here’s what you need to do.

How to get Abyssal Scrolls in Diablo 4

To get Abyssal Scrolls in Diablo 4, you must first reach World Tier 3 in your game and have the campaign completed. Upon doing that, you will also need to complete the “Eyes of the Enemy” seasonal quest. You’ll receive an Infernal Compass which acts like a Nightmare Sigil; once you use it, you open up the activity.

While the Compass acts as the key to get into the Infernal Hordes activity, Abyssal Scrolls are needed to upgrade the Compasses to get into higher-tier activities. However, in higher-tier activities, the monsters you face will be tougher.

Upon completing a session of the Infernal Hordes mode, you’ll be rewarded with Abyssal Scrolls. The higher the tier of the Compass, the more you earn. 

How to use Abyssal Scrolls

Much like Sigil Powder, Abyssal Scrolls work like Sigil Powder. You farm them up to create higher-tier keys that take you to higher-tier activities. Once you have reached World Tier 3 and completed the “Eyes of the Enemy” quest, you’ll now be able to craft Compasses and upgrade them using Abyssal Scrolls via the Occultist in any settlement.

As you progress into World Tier 4, the tiers go up, the wave cap goes up, and so do the Compass Affixes. Though, it’s all dependent on what Tier your Compass is and how much you upgrade it using Scrolls. 

How to farm Abyssal Scrolls

Abyssal Scrolls can be farmed just about anywhere in terms of endgame activities. They drop from Helltide chests, Whisper Caches, The Pit, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons, to name a few. The best place right now is to play Nightmare Dungeons with a fast enemy-clearing build with good bossing.
