Unleash Hell: A Comprehensive Guide to Obtaining the Devil’s Fang in Diablo 3

The Devil’s Fang is a crucial component for crafting the Hellfire Ring of Intelligence in Diablo 3. It’s a vital piece for players aiming to maximize their character’s potential, especially during the leveling process. Here’s everything you need to know about acquiring this essential ingredient.

What is the Devil’s Fang and How Do You Get It?

The Devil’s Fang is a rare crafting material that drops exclusively from Uber Ghom or Uber Rakanoth. You’ll need to tackle these challenging foes within the Realm of Discord, one of the demonic realms accessible through the Infernal Machine device. Importantly, the Devil’s Fang is account bound, meaning you can only use it on the character that obtained it or other characters on the same account. Crucially, Devil’s Fang only drops when the Infernal Machine is used at level 60-69.

Step-by-Step Guide to Farming the Devil’s Fang

1. Gather the Keys: To craft the Infernal Machine, you’ll need to collect four different keys from Keywardens scattered across Sanctuary. These Keywardens and the Acts they reside in are:

   • Odeg the Keywarden of Act I drops the Key of Destruction.
   • Sokahr the Keywarden of Act II drops the Key of Hate.
   • Xah’Rith the Keywarden of Act III drops the Key of Terror.
   • Nekarat the Keywarden of Act IV drops the Key of Regret.

   These Keywardens are found in specific locations on Torment difficulty or higher:

   • Odeg: Fields of Misery
   • Sokahr: Dahlgur Oasis
   • Xah’Rith: Stonefort
   • Nekarat: Gardens of Hope Tier II

   The higher the Torment level, the higher the drop chance for the keys.

2. Craft the Infernal Machine: Once you have all four keys, visit a blacksmith and use the Infernal Machine Plan to craft the machine. The plan is sold by Squirt the Peddler in Act II. There are four different Infernal Machines:

   • Infernal Machine of Destruction
   • Infernal Machine of Hate
   • Infernal Machine of Terror
   • Infernal Machine of Regret

   Each key corresponds to the matching Infernal Machine.

3. Enter the Demonic Realms: Head to the Heretic’s Abode in Act I near the Act I town. Inside, you’ll find four rooms. Use each Infernal Machine in one of the rooms to open a portal to a specific demonic realm. Remember, each machine can only be used once.

4. Defeat Uber Ghom/Rakanoth: The Infernal Machine of Terror will open the portal to the Realm of Discord, where you’ll face Uber Ghom and Uber Rakanoth simultaneously. Be prepared for a challenging fight, as these Ubers possess enhanced abilities and health. Ensure you are between level 60 and 69 when opening the portal; otherwise, the Devil’s Fang will not drop.

5. Collect the Devil’s Fang: After successfully defeating Uber Ghom and Uber Rakanoth, there’s a chance (not guaranteed) that the Devil’s Fang will drop. If it doesn’t drop the first time, repeat the process by collecting more keys, crafting another Infernal Machine of Terror, and re-entering the Realm of Discord.

Crafting the Hellfire Ring of Intelligence

Once you have the Devil’s Fang, along with the Vengeful Eye (from Uber Siegebreaker/Zoltun Kulle) and Writhing Spine (from Uber King Leoric/Maghda), you can purchase the Hellfire Ring plan from Squirt the Peddler. Combine these materials and the plan at the blacksmith to craft the Hellfire Ring of Intelligence.
