Mythic Uniques are some of the strongest weapons in Diablo 4but they are also among the rarest items in the game as well. Every season, a big part of Diablo 4 players' time is spent honing the myths needed to complete their build. But with the latest patch in Diablo 4 Season 13, a mythic farming source has drastically increased its chance of dropping these coveted items.
A new Mythic has joined the pool with the launch of Diablo 4: Lord of Hatredgiving Season 13 players a new item to hunt. El'druin Sword of Justice is the weapon that Tyrael uses in Lord of Hatred's campaign, but it can also be a great addition to the player's build, with its unique ability to reduce the player's cooldowns when killing Elites. Some of the usual suspects are also meta contenders, such as Heir of Corruption, The Grandfather, and Ring of Starless Skies, so it's worth farming for Mythics in Diablo 4s endgame regardless of the player's build.

Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred's Paladin is officially 1-of-a-Kind
With the release of Lord of Hatred, Diablo 4's Paladin class has now cemented itself as a prominent member of the game's class roster.
Diablo 4 Season 13's Butcher Lair Boss is the ideal source of lore
The Blooded Butcher is the latest Lair Boss to join Diablo 4introduced last season as part of Season of Slaughter. At the beginning of Diablo 4 Season 13 Bloodied Butcher was far too powerful, taking far too much damage per kill to be reliably farmed for Uniques in his boss Loot Table or even Mythics. After the release of Diablo 4The latest update, Bloodied Butcher, has been nerfed, and its Mythic drop rate has also seemingly increased, making it the perfect spot for that endgame Mythic grind.

In addition to the general Unique pool, the Bloodied Butcher also drops a variety of class-specific Uniques. With how powerful the barbarian is Diablo 4 Season 13 farming the Bloodied Butcher for Mythics can be a good idea as the boss can also drop Ramaladni's Magnum Opus and Chainscourged Mail, both of which are valuable to barbarian players. For Warlock players, many of the class's new Uniques have been released from Bloodied Butcher, so build a build focused on Volatility with a Unique like Moloch's Beating Flame.
How to get mythic drops from the butcher in Diablo 4 season 13
Mythics usually only have a small chance to drop from Lair Bosses, but Bloodied Butcher seems to offer a higher chance than usual. After defeating the Bloodied Butcher, the Hoard Chest becomes available and requires a Greater Lair Key for players to access the goods inside. Within this chest are Uniques and possible Mythics rewards, so players will want to make sure they've gotten some Greater Lair Keys from War Plans in Torment difficulty, or from Lesser Lair Bosses like The Beast in the Ice, Echo of Varshan, and Lord Zir, before challenging the Bloodied Butcher.
To have the best chance of getting a Mythic drop, players will want to farm Bloodied Butcher at Torment 10 or higher.
Warplans can greatly increase the chance of getting mythic drops
While Bloodied Butcher already seems to have a relatively high chance of dropping Mythics at the higher Torment levels, players can increase their chances of landing a Mythic drop even more through Lord of Hatred's new War Plans feature. As players progress through war plans, they can earn upgrade unlocks that allow them to invest in modifiers for Diablo 4s various endgame activities via the War Plans upgrade tree. With the right combination of upgrades on the Lair Boss tree, players can access more Hoard Chests, which means more opportunities for Mythic drops.

Investing in the Lair of Plenty modifier on the left side of the Lair Boss upgrade tree gives players +1 Hoard Chest when they kill a Lair Boss. Additionally, investing in the middle upgrade lane of the tree unlocks the potential for Nemesis Lairs to spawn after defeating a standard Lair Boss. Within Nemesis Lairs, Diablo 4 players must defeat two different Lesser Lair Bosses simultaneously, but can earn even more drops than before. With the Greater Nemesis upgrade, players have the chance to take on two Greater Lair Bosses at once after defeating the previous Nemesis Lair. Basically, this upgrade allows players to stack Lair Boss battles on top of each other for increasingly valuable rewards, including 10 Hoard Chests once the Ultimate Nemesis Lair has been unlocked.
Once all these upgrades are unlocked, Diablo 4 players have an insane mythic farming route. While it may take some time to upgrade Lair Boss War Plans to level 5 and unlock all the necessary modifiers, the reward of an easy Mythic farming route is well worth the investment.
