Drops from Hellbornes

How to Use Profane Mindcage

Use from the Inventory

Profane Mindcage

You can consume the Profane Mindcage by accessing it from your player inventory. It will be found in the inventory Consumable Tab after you pick one up.

Stack Up to Three Times

As of patch 1.5.0, the Profane Mindcage can now stack up to three times, allowing enemies to be 30 levels higher than you. You can use this method to level up faster in Helltide. The reason for this is due to the XP scaling which is now increased to 30 levels instead of 10.

Use to Farm Helltide Materials

Use to Farm Helltide Materials

Use the Profane Mindcage as soon as you join a Helltide since it increases the Aberrant Cinder drop rates. Collect as many cinders as you can to open Tortured Gifts within the area. Remember that it also increases the enemy levels by 10 so tread carefully.
