Pincushioned Doll is a Lair Boss Key you can get from Beast in the Ice and Lord Zir in Diablo 4 (D4). Read on to learn more about how to get Pincushioned Doll, how to use it, and its general overview here!

How to Get Pincushioned Doll

Open Beast in the Ice's Hoard

The best way to get the Pincushioned Doll by defeating the Beast in the Ice and opening its hoard using 12 Distilled Fear. Keep in mind that you can get higher drop rates in Torment I or above so make sure your build is optimized enough to take on higher difficulties.

Open Lord Zir's Hoard

The Pincushioned Doll can also be obtained by defeating Lord Zir and opening his hoard. You can open Lord Zir's hoard by using 12 Exquisite Blood.

Complete Undercity of Kurast with Tribute of Titans

Kurast Undercity

Using the Tribute of Titans in the Undercity of Kurast grants a chance of obtaining Pincushioned Doll along with other Uber and Laiir Boss Keys. This is the second most optimal way of farming Pincushioned Doll as its drop rate is quite high.

How to Use Pincushioned Doll

Used to Open Andariel's Hoard

In order to use your Pincushioned Doll, you first have to defeat Andariel in the Hanged Man's Hall at Kehjistan. Doing so will spawn his hoard chest inside the boss area where you can use 3 Pincushioned Doll to open it.

Take note that Lair Bosses are now free to summon, but their rewards now drop from their respective reward chests called hoards.

The Interactive Map both shows the location of key points on the map, and doubles as a collectible checker.

  1. Click an icon on the right side to show all the pins of a specific type, or click the magnifying glass button to search for a specific pin by name.
  2. Click a pin on the map to see its name and description, and a relevant picture or video if available.
  3. From here, click Mark as Acquired to indicate that you've gotten a collectible already. This will change its icon on the map to show that it has been collected, and add 1 to that pin type's Counter.
  4. To undo this, click on the same pin and click Restore to unclaimed.
  5. To check how many pins you have marked so far, check the Counter in the bottom left, and click the icon that looks like a checklist to see counters for all pin types.
