In Diablo 4’s Season 6, titled "Season of Hatred Rising," players face a dark, challenging theme centered around confronting relentless forces of hatred and malevolence across Sanctuary. This season introduces new threats, intense battles, and powerful items designed to help players survive and thrive in the hostile environment. Among these items is the Shroud of False Death, a Mythic Unique chest armor that perfectly embodies the season's themes by giving players the power to turn vulnerability into strength.
With the Shroud of False Death, players gain the ability to evade death and re-engage enemies on their own terms. This armor not only boosts survivability but also introduces a stealth mechanic, allowing players to reposition or strike back with deadly force. In a season where hatred manifests through fierce enemies and punishing battles, the Shroud offers a way to overcome these challenges by blending resilience with tactical advantage. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the Shroud of False Death’s attributes, and acquisition methods to help players maximize its benefits.
What Is the Shroud of False Death
The Shroud of False Death is a powerful Mythic Unique item in Diablo 4, specifically a chest armor that offers significant benefits for various builds. Here are some key features:
• +1 to All Passives: This boosts all your passive skills, which can be a huge advantage.
• +160 to All Stats: Increases your overall stats significantly.
• +800 Maximum Life: Enhances your survivability.

How to Obtain the Shroud of False Death
Acquiring the Shroud of False Death involves several methods:
1. Crafting at the Jeweler
1). You can craft the Shroud of False Death by following specific steps at the Jeweler. This Mythic Unique item requires specific crafting materials and components obtained through seasonal content. The following materials are required:
• Resplendent Sparks: These are rare crafting components. You can obtain them by completing seasonal journey milestones, defeating high-tier bosses like Uber Lilith, or as rare drops from Torment IV bosses.
• Runes: You’ll need the following D4 rune quantities:
Bac x6
Moni x6
Kry x6
2). Go to the Jeweler:
Visit the Jeweler NPC in town. The Shroud of False Death will be available to craft only if you have gathered all the required materials.
3). Transmute:
Once you have the materials, select the Shroud of False Death recipe and begin the crafting process.
2. Defeating Specific Bosses
The Shroud of False Death can be obtained by defeating high-difficulty bosses, especially those at Torment IV, where the drop rate is higher. Recommended target bosses include:
- Varshan
- Lord Zir
- Grigoire
- Echo of Duriel
- The Beast in the Ice
- Echo of Andariel
These bosses have higher chances of dropping Mythic Unique gear, and each has its own unique combat mechanics, adding to the challenge of acquiring the Shroud of False Death. It’s recommended to form a group to increase both efficiency and drop rate.
Tips:
Focus on Higher Difficulties: Bosses at Torment IV difficulty have increased drop chances for Mythic Unique items, making this a prime difficulty setting for Shroud farming.
Group Farming: Forming a group to tackle these bosses increases your kill speed, enabling faster farming cycles and maximizing drop chances.
3. Gambling with Obols
Visiting the Purveyor of Curiosities and spending Obols on chest armor has a low chance of yielding the Shroud of False Death. While this method is less reliable, it's an option for players with surplus Obols.
