Wondering how to get the Flickerstep boots in Diablo 4? Stick around. We’ll cover everything you need to know about the Unique gear item and what you’ll need to do to get your hands on a pair.
Diablo 4 has just entered its second season, dubbed the Season of Blood. With its arrival comes a slew of new content for players to explore, from Vampiric Powers to Nightmare Dungeons and more. As you travel uncharted territories and channel your newfound abilities, you can pick up Unique items in the process, including the fabled Flickerstep boots. That said, items of this type are exceedingly tough to obtain in the new season. Here’s what you can do to snag this rare drop.
How to Get the Flickerstep in Diablo 4
To get your hands on a pair of Flickerstep boots in Diablo 4, you’ll need to play on World Tier Three or Four. These are endgame tiers, meaning you’ll need to make some serious progress in the game to unlock them. Although, some might say this is the easy part of the process.
Once you get to exploring Sanctuary on either of these tiers, you can start your search for Unique items, including the fabled boots in question. The catch: Uniques are remarkably difficult to receive as chest loot or enemy drops. Because of this, finding them isn’t so much about searching, but rather biding your time as you continue to take on world bosses and Nightmare Dungeons. This is your best bet to obtain the Unique gear item, though no number of hours spent toiling through Sanctuary will guarantee finding them.
There’s no way to up your odds of success to 100%. However, you might have some luck receiving the Flickerstep boots as a drop when you defeat Duriel, a seriously powerful endgame boss. Known as the King of Maggots, challenging him is a death sentence for those who enter combat unprepared. However, this risk is not without reward. If you manage to best this boss, he’ll drop any one of myriad Unique or Uber Unique items in the game, lending you a slim chance to score the item you’re searching for. But summoning him is a hassle because you need Shards of Agony and Mucus-slick Eggs, obtained by defeating Grigoire and Varshan respectively.
