In Season 9, Diablo 4’s Helltide map routes remain essential for acquiring Tortured Gift chests—each containing Forgotten Souls, rare gear, and Fiend Roses. Efficient farming requires knowing spawn locations and enemy hotspots.

The best map route starts in Dismal Foothills, moving clockwise through Serpent’s Pass and down into Forgotten Overlook. This area offers tight paths with high mob density and three known Tortured Gift chest spawn points.

Use horse mobility boosts and mount charge refresh elixirs to jump quickly between known locations. A full circuit should take under 10 minutes, yielding at least one 250 Aberrant Cinder chest if you’re efficient.

Monster events like Demonic Massacres and Mini Boss spawns now occur more frequently, offering bonus Aberrant Cinders and a chance for high-roll legendary loot. Clear these with AoE-heavy builds to maximize profit.

If running solo, choose zones with tighter geometry so you can control mob movement and avoid being overwhelmed. If in a party, larger open maps like Saraan Caldera become feasible for wide chest coverage.

Once you’ve unlocked one Tortured Gift chest, avoid overfarming and immediately rotate to another zone to farm cinders again. Respawn timers make camping one spot inefficient in Season 9.

Bring items that increase item find and movement speed, especially boots or rings with legendary movement affixes. These speed your runs and improve drop quality slightly over time.

With Season 9 emphasizing efficient farming for item rerolls, knowing your Helltide routes ensures you’re not wasting crafting potential or endgame upgrade chances.
