The Hellfire Torch, a coveted item, represents a significant power boost in both Diablo II: Resurrected (D2R) and the popular game Blox Fruits. But acquiring it involves navigating different challenges and mechanics depending on which game you’re playing. In Diablo II: Resurrected, the Hellfire Torch is a unique Large Charm obtained by conquering the fearsome Uber Tristram encounter. In Blox Fruits, it’s a rare drop from the Cursed Captain raid boss. This article dives deep into how to claim this fiery prize in both games, offering a comprehensive guide for aspiring adventurers.
Diablo II: Resurrected – A Trial By Fire
In D2R, the path to the Hellfire Torch is not for the faint of heart. It involves a multi-stage process of key farming, mini-uber battles, and ultimately, a showdown against the Uber Prime Evils.
The Key to Entry: Farming the Keys
The first step is to collect the Key of Terror, Key of Hate, and Key of Destruction. These keys are dropped by specific bosses on Hell difficulty:
- The Countess (Black Marsh, Act I): Drops the Key of Terror.
- The Summoner (Arcane Sanctuary, Act II): Drops the Key of Hate.
- Nihlathak (Halls of Vaught, Act V): Drops the Key of Destruction.
These keys aren’t guaranteed drops, so expect to run these bosses repeatedly. The drop rate is roughly 1 in 12, therefore, prepare to put some time in. Magic Find can negligibly affect key drop rates, so focus on speed and efficiency.
Unleashing the Ubers: Mini-Uber Encounters
Once you have three of each key, head to Act V, Harrogath, on Hell difficulty. Use the Horadric Cube to transmute each set of three keys into a red portal. Each set will create a portal to one of the following mini-uber areas:
- Matron’s Den: Lilith encounter.
- Forgotten Sands: Uber Duriel and Izual encounter.
- Furnace of Pain: Uber Izual encounter.
These mini-uber bosses are significantly stronger than their normal counterparts. Come prepared with gear optimized for survival and damage. They drop specific organ sets.
Assembling the Pieces: Organ Sets
Each mini-uber boss drops a unique organ:
- Lilith: Diablo’s Horn.
- Uber Duriel & Uber Izual: Baal’s Eye.
- Uber Izual: Mephisto’s Brain.
Collect one of each organ.
The Final Showdown: Uber Tristram
Now for the ultimate challenge. With the Diablo’s Horn, Baal’s Eye, and Mephisto’s Brain in your inventory, return to Act V, Harrogath, on Hell difficulty. Use the Horadric Cube to transmute the three organs. This will create a red portal to Uber Tristram.
Uber Tristram is a brutal encounter featuring Uber Mephisto, Uber Diablo, and Uber Baal simultaneously. Strategies vary, but a common approach involves using a Smiter Paladin or other highly resilient character capable of dealing high single-target damage. Crowd control and resistances are crucial for survival. Defeating these Ubers rewards you with the Hellfire Torch.
Hellfire Torch Properties
The Hellfire Torch is a Large Charm with the following properties:
- +3 to All Skills of a Random Character Class
- +10-20 to All Attributes
- +10-20% to All Resistances
- +8 to Light Radius
- 25% Chance to Cast Level 10 Firestorm on Attack
The class skills, attributes, and resistances are randomly generated, making some Torches more valuable than others. Trading is common to acquire the ideal Torch for your character.
Blox Fruits – Navigating the Cursed Seas
In Blox Fruits, the Hellfire Torch is a key item for unlocking the Ghoul race. Unlike D2R’s complex process, obtaining it here relies on a single, albeit RNG-dependent, encounter.
Seeking the Cursed Captain
The Hellfire Torch has approximately a 5-9% drop chance from defeating the Cursed Captain. This raid boss spawns on the Cursed Ship during the night in the Second Sea. Note: The only way to increase the drop chance is with a gamepass.
- Location: Second Sea, Cursed Ship (Third Floor, central room)
- Spawn Condition: Nighttime
- Spawn Chance: 1/3 chance to spawn.
Battling the Boss
The Cursed Captain is a formidable foe with powerful attacks. Team up with other players to increase your chances of victory. Focus on dealing consistent damage while avoiding his more devastating abilities.
Ghoul Transformation
Once you have the Hellfire Torch and 100 Ectoplasm, head to the kitchen of the Cursed Ship and speak to Experimic. He will offer to change your race to Ghoul. The Ghoul race offers increased speed and life leech during the night. It’s a popular choice for PvP and PvE.
FAQs: Burning Questions Answered
1. Can you get Hellfire Torch offline in D2R?
Yes, everything is available in offline mode. All items, events, including the Pandemonium Event (Ubers that drop the Torch) and D2 Clone (that drops Anni), and all the Runewords. This makes single-player playthroughs just as rewarding.
2. Is the Hellfire Torch random in D2R?
Yes, after defeating the Uber Prime Evils, one of them will drop the Hellfire Torch, which will have random properties, including +3 to a random class’s skills. While this means you may not get the exact Torch for your character class, trading with other players can help you find your perfect match.
3. What is the easiest way to get Hellfire Torch in Blox Fruits?
The easiest way is to repeatedly defeat the Cursed Captain (raid boss), which spawns on the Cursed Ship, during the night time and using gamepasses that increase the drop chance.

The coral has a deep purple/blue base that transitions into a 24K gold coloration leading up to its light blue tips.

6. What is a Hellfire Torch coral?
The Hellfire Torch Coral is an Indonesian torch coral color morph with long flowing tentacles and a branching structure. It is prized for its vibrant colors.
7. How do you get Anni and Torch in D2R?
To get the Hellfire Torch, you put 3 organs (Diablo’s Horn, Baal’s Eye, and Mephisto’s Brain) in the Horadric Cube in Act 5 to create a portal to Uber Tristram. Kill all 3 Ubers to get a Hellfire Torch charm. The Ubers also have a chance to drop 1 of 3 items needed to spawn Diablo Clone (who upon killing drops the Anni charm).
8. Why can’t I get Hellfire Torch in Blox Fruits?
The Hellfire Torch has a low drop chance from the Cursed Captain, so it may take multiple attempts to obtain it. Consider using a gamepass to increase your drop chance.
9. What damage does Uber Mephisto do in D2R?

11. Is Ghoul better than Angel in Blox Fruits?
