Diablo 3 Remnant of Pain: How To Get, Stats & Upgrade

Do you want to channel your inner Lord of Pain, Duriel, in Diablo 3 Season 30? Then, you will want to get the Remnant of Pain Lesser Evil Soul Shard as quickly as possible, dishing out a tonne of crowd control and critical strikes.

Don't worry, Nephalem, we've got you covered. Join us as we explain how you can get the Remnant of Pain, its powers, and stats, alongside how you can upgrade these Soul Shards with ease in Diablo 3 Season 30.

How To Get Remnant of Pain in Diablo 3

We are just going to cut to the chase right now. To target farm for the Remnant of Pain drops, you will need to kill Act IV bosses. These bosses have a 50% chance to drop both Remnant of Pain and Sliver of Terror. 

You don't need to be level 70 in order to get a Remnant of Pain drop. The Act IV bosses, for those who haven't played in a while, are:

• Iskatu
• Rakinoth
• Izual
• Diablo

The higher the Torment difficulty level, the higher your chances of getting one to drop. Furthermore, Rift Guardians also have a higher chance of dropping any of the seven Soul Shards in Diablo 3 Season 30. Drop chances for Soul Shards greatly increase past Greater Rift Tier 75.

Since this is a Lesser Evil Soul Shard, you must add it to an empty socket on your weapon.

Please note:Soul Shards are only available on Seasonal realms and do not form part of the Eternal Realm loot table.
