How to get Kessime’s Legacy
Defeat Lord Zir
Lord Zir has a high chance of dropping Unique Items and is a great target for farming Kessime’s Legacy. However, you will need Exquisite Blood and reach World Tier Four to unlock this Diablo 4 endgame boss. Lord Zir is available on all Torment difficulties, with higher difficulties increasing your odds of getting Unique loot like Kessime’s Legacy.
Helltides, World Bosses (three drops), and Legion Events (one drop) are the fastest ways to farm Exquisite Blood. Furthermore, these events can also drop Kessime’s Legacy, making this method even more efficient. Once you have nine Exquisite Blood, you can perform the Ritual of Blood to summon Lord Zir.
Each attempt at Lord Zir costs nine Exquisite Blood you need to use at the Altar inside the Darkened Way in Kyovoshad. Defeating Lord Zir does not guarantee a Kessime’s Legacy drop, so you might need several attempts.
World Events
Participating in the various World Events around the map also gives you a chance to get the Kessime’s Legacy. While not as targeted or efficient as the Lord Zir farm, this method provides a less boring experience. You can get the Kessime’s Legacy from chests and as rewards for completing the following World Events:
- Gathering Legions
- World Bosses
- Nightmare Dungeons
Nightmare Dungeons, particularly, have a high drop rate for high-tiered loot and Unique items such as Kessime’s Legacy.
Helltide chest reward
You can farm the hourly Helltide events and fish for the Kessime’s Legacy by quickly collecting Cinders and opening the mystery chests that drop as rewards. Mystery chests have a higher probability of dropping unique items, such as the Kessime’s Legacy, and you should keep an eye out for Helltide Events on the map.
Purveyors of Curiosity
While not exactly a very reliable method, you can stumble upon Kessime’s Legacy by gambling in the Purveyors of Curiosity. You can spend your Murmuring Obols here and get a chance to collect Unique loot, such as Kessime’s Legacy. However, this method is pure RNG and not the most efficient if you plan on targeting a specific item.
