How to Complete the Ritual of Anguish in Diablo 4 (Andariel Summon)

 

If you're hunting for Mythic Unique items in Diablo 4, the Ritual of Anguish is a prime activity to add to your endgame routine. This guide walks you through how to summon Andariel using the Ritual of Anguish, detailing the necessary preparations and steps for success.

Preparation: Collecting the Necessary Items

Before you start the Ritual of Anguish, you'll need to gather the following items:

• Two Sandscorched Shackles
• Two Pincushioned Dolls

These items are required to trigger the ritual and can be found in various locations across Sanctuary.

How to Start the Ritual of Anguish

1. Enter the Hanged Man’s Hall: Make your way to the Hanged Man’s Hall, where the ritual will take place.
2. Clear the Hallways: Defeat the monsters in either hallway leading to the main arena.
3. Interact with the Altar: Once in the main arena, approach the altar. Here, the menu for the Ritual of Anguish will appear.

To initiate the ritual:

• Place the Sandscorched Shackles and Pincushioned Dolls into the bowl at the altar. These items will be consumed permanently.
• After a brief delay, Andariel will be summoned, and the battle begins.

The Battle with Andariel

Upon summoning, Andariel will appear as the boss you need to defeat. Be prepared, as this fight can be challenging, but defeating her gives you a shot at Mythic Unique items, with at least a few standard Uniques guaranteed as loot.

Tormented Version: A Greater Challenge

For those seeking an even tougher challenge, there's a Tormented Version of the Ritual of Anguish:

• Additional Items Needed: Six Sandscorched Shackles, Six Pincushioned Dolls, and Two Stygian Stones.
• Level 200 Andariel: This version of Andariel is much more powerful, so ensure your gear is up to par before attempting this ritual.

You can access this version by scrolling to the right on the altar menu and selecting the appropriate option if you have all the required items.

Final Thoughts

The Ritual of Anguish is a critical part of the endgame content in Diablo 4, offering players a reliable way to farm powerful items. Whether you’re preparing for the standard ritual or the more intense tormented version, ensure you have the necessary items and gear to maximize your chances of success. Take your time, gather your resources, and tackle Andariel at your own pace—there’s no need to rush this ritual.

Happy hunting in Sanctuary!
