Targeted equipment and loot
Target Salazar’s Sovereign Blade
Salazar is the named source for a Monster Infrequent weapon that can be tailored further by its random affixes.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Target Salazar’s Sovereign Blade
Salazar’s lair in the Depraved Sanctuary, Act I. The encounter lies inside the sealed challenge dungeon entered with a Skeleton Key.
Before you go
- Reach the Depraved Sanctuary in Act I.
- Have a Skeleton Key for the dungeon entrance; the key is consumed when used.
- Bring a character capable of surviving the dungeon’s challenge enemies.
Farming steps
- Travel to the Depraved Sanctuary and locate the sealed entrance to Salazar’s lair.
- Use a Skeleton Key to open the entrance and enter the challenge dungeon.
- Fight through the dungeon, clearing enemies as needed to reach Salazar.
- Defeat Salazar, Blade of Ch’thon and inspect the loot for the Sovereign Blade.
- Compare the weapon’s base bonuses and rolled affixes with your current setup.
- Collect useful drops, then leave when finished; prepare another key before repeating.
- If the blade does not drop, decide whether another run is still worth the key and time.
- A Monster Infrequent has a specific source but no guaranteed drop; budget for more than one attempt.
- Judge the blade by its affixes and build fit, not its name alone.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable while you have Skeleton Keys. Each run consumes one key, and the blade is not guaranteed.
Common mistakes
- Entering without a key: acquire and carry a Skeleton Key before going to the sealed entrance.
- Assuming one kill guarantees the blade: inspect the drop and repeat only if the target remains valuable.
- Keeping any blade automatically: compare its rolled stats to your build before replacing equipped gear.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you obtain a blade with useful affixes, outlevel its value, or decide the key cost is better spent on another dungeon.
