The Ultimate Guide To Using Keywarden Keys Securely

In the game Diablo III, players can obtain keys from defeating Keywardens, which can then be used to craft powerful items. There are four Keywardens, each found in one of the four acts in the game. The first three Keywardens drop a key, while the fourth drops crafting plans. The keys and plans can then be taken to a blacksmith to craft an Infernal Machine, which can be used to open portals to demonic realms and fight Uber bosses. Defeating these bosses gives players a chance to obtain crafting ingredients for powerful items such as the Hellfire Ring or Hellfire Amulet.

Finding Keywardens: They can be found in Acts I-IV, with a purple arrow directing you to them

Keywardens are unique bosses in Diablo III that can be found in Acts I-IV. They are marked with a boss icon on the map and an arrow pointing to their location. They are randomly located in a given level, with one Keywarden per Act.

In Act I, you will find Odeg the Keywarden in the Fields of Misery. In Act II, Sokahr the Keywarden can be found in the Dahlgur Oasis. Xah'Rith the Keywarden is located in Stonefort in Act III. Finally, Nekarat the Keywarden can be found in the Gardens of Hope 2nd Tier in Act IV.

When you enter the zone, you should see a purple arrow directing you to the Keywarden. If you don't see it immediately, run into the zone a bit, and the arrow should appear.

Getting keys: To get keys, you must have five stacks of Nephalem Valor when striking the killing blow

To get keys from Keywardens, you must have five stacks of Nephalem Valor when striking the killing blow. Keywardens are unique bosses who have a chance to drop keys and plans required to activate the Infernal Machine and obtain a Hellfire Ring. They are only found on Inferno difficulty and are randomly located in a given level, with one Keywarden per act.

The keys and plans are not tradable and cannot be given away. Players must farm the ingredients themselves. To get keys, players need to kill the Keywardens with five stacks of Nephalem Valor. Higher levels of Monster Power increase the odds of a key dropping. Each Keywarden drops items like other Elite bosses, but their unique ability to drop keys makes them prized enemies.

The first step is to find and kill a Keywarden. There are four Keywardens, and each one can be found in one of the four acts in Diablo III. The Keywardens in the first three acts drop a key, and the Keywarden in Act IV drops the crafting plan for the Infernal Machine. Once you have gathered all three keys and the crafting plans, you can take them to the blacksmith. Right-click on the plans to teach them to the blacksmith, and the Infernal Machine will appear on the Weapons tab under the new Portal Device heading.

The Key of Destruction will drop from Odeg the Keywarden in Act I - Fields of Misery. The Key of Hate will drop from Sokahr the Keywarden in Act II - Dahlgur Oasis. The Key of Terror will drop from Xah'Rith the Keywarden in Act III - Stonefort. The Blacksmithing Plans will drop from Nekarat the Keywarden in Act IV - Silver Spire Level 1.

Crafting the Infernal Machine: Take keys and plans to the blacksmith. Right-click on the plans to teach them to the blacksmith

Crafting the Infernal Machine is a complex process in Diablo III. To craft the Infernal Machine, players will first need to collect four components from powerful Keywardens in each Act of Inferno. The Key of Destruction, the Key of Hate, and the Key of Terror will drop from Odeg, Sokahr, and Xah'Rith, respectively, in Acts I, II, and III. The Blacksmithing Plans will drop from Nekarat the Keywarden in Act IV - Silver Spire Level 1. Players will need to take all three keys and the crafting plans to the blacksmith. Right-click on the plans to teach them to the blacksmith, and the Infernal Machine will appear on the Weapons tab under the new Portal Device heading (look under P). The Infernal Machine costs 12,000 gold to craft and will take up one item slot in your inventory (the size of a ring).

Once crafted, the Infernal Machine will remain in your inventory until activated. To activate the Infernal Machine, players must enter the Heretic's Abode in New Tristram, located just behind Brother Malachi the Healer. Right-click on the Infernal Machine in your inventory to summon an ominous red portal that will transport you to a demonic realm.

It is important to note that the Infernal Machine will be destroyed upon activation, so players will need to craft a new one each time they wish to open a portal. This includes recollecting each of the three wardens' keys and paying another 12,000 gold to the blacksmith. However, the plans will remain available for crafting once the blacksmith has been trained.

Using the Infernal Machine: Activate the device in the Heretic's Abode to open a portal to a demonic realm

To use the Infernal Machine to open a portal to a demonic realm, players must follow several steps. Firstly, they need to collect four components from powerful Keywardens in each Act of Inferno: The Key of Destruction, The Key of Hate, The Key of Terror, and The Blacksmithing Plans. These keys can be obtained by defeating specific Keywardens in Acts I, II, III, and IV, respectively. Once all the keys are acquired, players can take them to a level 10 Blacksmith, who will require 12,000 gold to forge the Infernal Machine device.

After crafting the Infernal Machine, players must set their quests to "Act I – Return to Tristram" to access the Heretic's Abode, a cellar in New Tristram located behind Brother Malachi the Healer. To activate the device and open the portal, players must right-click on the Infernal Machine in their inventory while standing inside the Heretic's Abode. This will summon an ominous red portal leading to a demonic realm.

It is important to note that activating the Infernal Machine will destroy it, so players will need to craft a new device each time they wish to open another portal. Additionally, the Infernal Machine can only be used to open one of three portals at a time, and each portal leads to a different realm with a predetermined pair of bosses. To access all three portals simultaneously, players will need to craft three Infernal Machines.

Before stepping through the portal, players should ensure they have a full five stacks of Nephalem Valor, as this is required to obtain organ drops from the bosses. The bosses within the portal will need to be defeated to obtain crafting ingredients for the Hellfire Ring or Hellfire Amulet.

Fighting Uber Bosses: Enter the portal and fight the Uber Bosses. They drop organs used to craft Hellfire Rings or Hellfire Amulets

To fight the Uber Bosses, you must first craft the Infernal Machine. To do this, you need to find and kill the Keywardens from each of the four acts in Diablo III. The Keywardens from Acts I, II, and III drop keys, and the Keywarden from Act IV drops the crafting plan for the Infernal Machine. Here are the Keywardens' locations:

• Act I: Fields of Misery
• Act II: Dahlgur Oasis
• Act III: Stonefort
• Act IV: Silver Spire Level 1 or Gardens of Hope, Tier 2

Once you have the three keys and the crafting plan, take them to the blacksmith. Right-click on the plans to teach them to the blacksmith, and the Infernal Machine will appear on the Weapons tab under the new Portal Device heading (look under P). Crafting the Infernal Machine will cost 12,000 gold.

After crafting the Infernal Machine, go to the Heretic's Abode in New Tristram. It is a shack with a breakable door located behind the NPC that can heal you. Once inside, use the Infernal Machine by right-clicking on it in your inventory. This will open a portal to a demonic realm where you will fight the Uber Bosses.

There are three portals that can be opened, leading to three different boss fights. Each fight has a pair of bosses and will yield one of the three required organ pieces to craft the Hellfire Ring. Here are the possible boss pairings:

• Uber Ghom and Rakanoth in the Realm of Chaos
• Uber Siegebreaker and Zoltun Kulle in the Realm of Turmoil
• Uber Skeleton King and Maghda in the Realm of Discord

To craft the Hellfire Ring, you will need to collect all three organ pieces:

• The Writhing Spine, which drops from King Leoric or Maghda in the Realm of Discord
• The Devil's Fang, which drops from Ghom or Rakanoth in the Realm of Chaos
• The Vengeful Eye, which drops from Siegebreaker or Zoltun Kulle in the Realm of Turmoil

Take the organ pieces, along with 15,000 gold, to the Jeweler to craft the Hellfire Ring. The plans for the ring can be purchased from Squirt the Peddler in Act II. The Hellfire Ring has no level requirement and provides a chance to launch an explosive Hellfire ball when you attack.
