Complete Nightmare Dungeons

D4 - Obtaining Distilled Fear

Completing Nightmare Dungeons is a reliable way of obtaining Distilled Fear. As of Season 6 completing a Nightmare Dungeon guarantees atleast 1 Distilled Fear drop. It's best to do this activity with other party members that aim to beat The Beast in the Ice.

Open Helltide Tortured Gifts

Open Helltide Tortured Gifts
Distilled Fear can be obtained from any Tortured Gifts found in the Helltides on any Torment difficulty, particularly from Mystery Chests.

Drops from Blood Maiden and Hellborne

Complete Legion and World Boss Events

D4 - Obtaining Distilled Fear
Distilled Fear can be acquired as rewards upon completing Legion and World Boss events in any Torment difficulty. The drop rate for Distilled Fear is quite high, but the downside is that the events are time-gated.

Defeating Treasure Goblins

Diablo 4 - Explore the Open World
Killing Treasure Goblins that you encounter throughout the map also has a chance to drop Distilled Fear. However, due to the rarity of these Treasure Goblins, this method is not the most efficient way to farm for boss materials.
