Overview

All Resplendent Spark Sources in Diablo IV Season 11 (5 Total)

Resplendent Sparks are one of the most important progression materials in Season 11, and the game now offers multiple paths to earn them. This guide lists every known source, ordered from the most straightforward to the most demanding, so you can plan your Season Journey milestones, reputation grind, and endgame boss attempts efficiently.

Several Sparks are tied to The Pit and Season Journey ranks, one is tied to the seasonal Divine Favor track at the Heavenly Forge, and the last two require serious endgame power: Torment IV Lilith and the new purified trophy challenge involving multiple Lesser Evils.

1) Season Journey Rank VII: Complete The Pit Tier 60

Your first and most accessible Resplendent Spark comes from Season Journey progression. Once you unlock Rank VII, you earn a Spark by completing The Pit Tier 60.

This milestone is valuable beyond the Spark. Expect additional Season Journey rewards such as:

  • Paragon points (noted as a 4-point reward at this step)
  • Plume of Steel emblem
  • Smoldering Ashes for Season Blessings
  • Legendary caches

Practical tip: If you’re pushing Pit tiers for the first time, prioritize survivability and consistent clears over risky speed setups. Tier 60 is a meaningful check, but it’s a manageable one compared to later Spark sources.

2) Season Journey Cache: Complete The Pit Tier 75

The second Spark is also Pit-related, but it’s a step up in difficulty. Clear The Pit Tier 75 to claim the Resplendent Cache from the Season Journey, which contains another Resplendent Spark.

In addition to the cache, this milestone also awards a new character title.

Practical tip: Tier 75 often exposes weak defensive layers. Before you start grinding attempts, make sure your build has answers to burst damage and sustained pressure (damage reduction sources, reliable healing, and a plan for dangerous elite affixes).

3) Divine Favor Reputation: Reach Level XX at the Heavenly Forge

The third Spark comes from the seasonal reputation system. You’ll need to complete the Divine Favor reputation board at the Heavenly Forge with Hadriel.

To earn this Spark, reach level XX on the reputation board. You gain Divine Favor by slaying Lesser Evils and their minions during Season 11. Once you’ve earned enough reputation:

  • Go to the Heavenly Forge
  • Inquire about your Divine Favor with Hadriel
  • Claim the final cache, which contains a Resplendent Spark

Practical tip: Treat this Spark as your “steady progress” option. Even if your Pit pushing stalls, reputation gains can continue in parallel while you farm other endgame activities.

4) Defeat Lilith on Torment IV

The fourth Spark is a major skill and gear check: you must defeat Lilith on Torment IV. In prior seasons, defeating her at a lower Torment could grant the Spark, but Season 11 requires the Torment IV version.

Lilith is dangerous because she can one-shot with several attacks, and her damage can effectively escalate as the fight drags on. The most reliable strategy is a blend of two priorities:

  • High damage to shorten the encounter
  • Clean execution to avoid lethal mechanics

Phase 1: Survive the spike waves

In the first phase, the biggest threat is her waves of spikes. Getting clipped can end your attempt quickly, so treat these patterns as “must-dodge” mechanics. Builds that can frontload damage early can reduce how many lethal cycles you have to handle, but every build benefits from learning the timing and spacing.

Phase 2: Blood orbs and flight attacks

After you destroy her first form, you face Lilith, Mother of Mankind. The key adjustments:

  • Avoid blood orbs touching you
  • When she flies, create distance immediately; getting hit during these moments can be an instant kill

Practical tip: Expect to fail some attempts while learning. Repetition helps you internalize her tells, and consistency matters more than “perfect” play when the fight punishes small mistakes.

5) Purified Divine Gifts: Defeat all four Lesser Evils in one dungeon

The final Spark is locked behind the new uber-boss style challenge involving purified trophies and a special portal encounter. The core loop works like this:

  • Defeat Lesser Evils to obtain their corrupted trophies
  • Acquire the purified versions of those trophies (extremely rare)
  • Use all four at specific altars to open a portal
  • Fight all four Lesser Evils in the same dungeon
  • Defeat them to earn the final Resplendent Spark

The four corrupted trophies

The trophies referenced for the four Lesser Evils are:

  • Corrupted Tongue (Azmodan)
  • Corrupted Claw (Andariel)
  • Corrupted Eye (Belial)
  • Corrupted Horn (Duriel)

You may encounter purified versions and notice a key restriction: these items reportedly cannot be moved to your stash. This is consistent with them being “carry-to-activate” keys for the portal sequence rather than general inventory loot.

How rare are purified trophies?

Very rare. Plan for significant grinding if you’re aiming for this Spark. Because of the rarity, it’s best approached as a long-term objective you progress toward while doing other endgame goals.

Where trophies can come from

Sources mentioned for obtaining these items include defeating each Lesser Evil in their domain, including:

  • Helltides
  • The Undercity
  • The Pit
  • Azmodan in the open world

Altar locations for the four Lesser Evils

Once you have all four trophies, you’ll need to visit the corresponding altars:

  • Andariel: Nahantu, Seven Stones
  • Belial: Fractured Peaks
  • Azmodan: Hawezar
  • Duriel: Kehjistan

Practical tip: Because purified trophies are so rare, keep your build “portal-ready.” That means maintaining a setup that can handle multiple consecutive boss fights without relying on fragile, single-burst strategies.

Should you spend Sparks immediately or save them?

A common Season 11 recommendation is to hold your Resplendent Sparks rather than instantly crafting a mythic cache at the Blacksmith. The reasoning is simple: waiting until you have the right supporting materials (such as runes, depending on your crafting goals) can improve your odds of targeting the mythic outcome you actually want.

If your build is already stable for Pit progression and Torment farming, saving Sparks can be the more efficient long-term play.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Resplendent Sparks can you get in Season 11?

You can earn five total: two from The Pit milestones via Season Journey, one from Divine Favor, one from Torment IV Lilith, and one from the purified trophy multi-boss portal.

Which Resplendent Spark is the easiest to obtain?

The most straightforward is typically the Season Journey Spark for completing The Pit Tier 60, since it aligns with natural seasonal progression.

Why is the Lilith Spark so much harder this season?

It requires defeating her on Torment IV, where her one-shot mechanics and punishing damage patterns demand stronger defenses and cleaner execution.

Do purified trophies really have very low drop rates?

Yes. They’re described as extremely rare, so expect a long grind and treat the final Spark as a late-season objective.

What’s the best way to approach the final Spark portal fight?

Prepare for endurance: bring a build that can survive repeated boss mechanics, manage burst windows safely, and avoid overcommitting to glass-cannon damage that collapses after a single mistake.
