Challenger Key in Diablo Immortal - How to get and use

In this guide, we detail how to get Challenger Keys in Diablo Immortal and what they are used for.

What are Challenger Keys in Diablo Immortal

Unfortunately, most updates in Diablo are blocked by paywalls. This means in-game purchases and microtransactions to level up. Paying for your victories can be very costly. But there is another way to increase the stats and combat rating in Diablo Immortal - using the keys of the applicant.

Usually, upgrading your weapons and armor results in improved stats. Equipping gems and legendary items also increases your level in addition to boosting. However, Challenger Keys are used to open certain chests that give your character permanent buffs.

Aspirant's Keys are used to upgrade Horadric Vessels. Some chests contain gems that can level up Horadric Vessels in the Sanctuary of Ibn Fahd. Our website has a detailed guide to Horadrim Vessels in Diablo Immortal. The area containing chests containing Horadric vessels is known as Sanctuary Depths.

The Sanctuary Depths are locked behind a specific quest line, and can only be accessed once that quest has been started. Once you upgrade the Horadrim Vessels in the Sanctuary of Ibn Fahd, you will receive different types of permanent buffs depending on the upgrade you made.

How to get Challenger Keys in Diablo Immortal

Where can I find the Aspirant's Key in Diablo Immortal? Here are all possible sources:

• In the very dungeon of Ibn Fahd;
• From daily rewards, for the first kill of the day;
• Battle Pass rewards - upon reaching certain ranks;
• At the Hilts merchant (Hilts Merchant), up to 5 pieces per day;
• As rewards for victories on the PvP Battlegrounds;
• First Kill of the Day reward (when the reward is Challenger's Key).
• Opening the Blessed Chest at the end of the Ancient Portal when you have Daedessa's Blessing;
• Completing The Assembly Stage Shadow factions;
• Completion of the Trial of Kion with the faction of the Immortals;
• Can be bought in the store for real money in one of the supply packs;

There are many ways to get keys for free, so don't get hung up on it. This is not the most important point in strengthening the character.

After we figured out where exactly the Challenger's Keys are obtained, let's see how much it costs to open each chest in each of the rooms.

Chests in rooms

There are 5 chests in the first room, and 5 in the second. To open the door to the second room, you need to open all the chests in the first room. Chests drop 5 random by type vascular improvement stones. With each new chest, the number of stones dropped out increases. Chests in the Sanctuary of Ibn Fahd have an opening cost increase in both keys and platinum. Here is the full table with the chests, the cost to open them in each room, and the number of shrine vessel upgrade stones they drop:

Explanations for the table: it indicates the number of keys required to open the chest with this number; if you run out of keys, you can spend platinum to open chests; eternal spheres is a donation currency, meaning either platinum or spheres if there is no platinum.

As you can see from the final table, it takes a lot of Contender's Keys to fully open all the chests in the four rooms. If opened with money, then the cost of platinum is too high to justify its use, given that other game mechanics (such as crafting legendary gems) have a higher value. Eternal Orbs, being a real money currency, is also strongly discouraged for use here. For such an amount of Eternal Orbs, it is much more profitable, for example, to get 11 legendary coats of arms to strengthen the Ancient Portal.

There is also one hidden bonus chest that opens in the middle of the fourth room only when all the chests are open. Although this chest gives more stones to upgrade, opening all the chests to get to it is a very inefficient use of your challenger keys.

In addition to all of the above, in Diablo Immortal there is one pleasant circumstance in this dungeon. When opening the chest, there is a chance to hit the jackpot! This yields almost three times as many Enhancement Stones as the chest would normally drop.

Tip: if you play for free, then open the chests only in the first room, daily, after resetting the dungeon. This is the best use of your keys and don't make costly mistakes.

Upgrade Stones in Diablo Immortal

Upgrade Stones will allow you to upgrade the following stats in the Sanctuary of Ibn Fahd;

• Life
• Damage dealt
• Armor
• armor penetration
• Resistance
• Power

These stats are in addition to your character's non-core attributes in Diablo Immortal. Essentially, upgrade stones upgrade vessels that improve your stats. There are many different vessels in Diablo Immortal, and some of them use different enhancement stones.

Enhancement stones include beryl, garnet and sapphire. They are very specific to the vessels they renew. Below is a list of Vessels upgraded by these 3 Empowerment Stones;

• Beryl: Guilt of the Nameless One, Vision of Jared Cain, and Knowledge of Nor Tiraj.
• Garnet: Nilfur's Accuracy, Tal Rashi's Power, and Zoltun Kull's Ingenuity.
• Sapphire: Caldensanne's compassion and Ibn Fahd's perseverance. 

The following table explains the permanent stat buffs you get from these vessels.
