How to get Ring of Midnight Sun in Diablo 4 and its unique effects
Diablo 4’s Spiritborn have a ton of amazing items, including the Ring of Midnight Sun. This incredible Unique offers solid stats and a useful special power. Depending on the build you’re going with, it’ll be a must-have piece of gear. The good news is that you can farm it through a wide assortment of methods. These are all random, of course, but you have a chance of unlocking it virtually anywhere in the world.
If you’re going to run a Spiritborn in Diablo 4, Ring of Midnight Sun is one of the best Uniques you can pick up for the class. If this item is one of your goals, we’re here to help you find a route to unlock it.
Where does the Ring of Midnight Sun drop in Diablo 4?
While Ring of Midnight Sun can drop almost anywhere in Diablo 4, the best spot is by fighting Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint. He’s found in the Dry Steppes dungeon named Hall of the Penitent. One of the early ladder bosses, he’s not especially difficult if you have Lightning Resistance and are quick to avoid his attacks. Don’t stand in the red and you should be fine.
To summon Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint, you need 12 Living Steel, which you can easily pick up through the Seasonal Ladder content. The various chests you get for moving through the seasonal content grant summoning materials, though there are other ways. Living Steel is a sort of frustrating material to farm, but there are a few methods:
- Tortured Gift Chests
- Whisper Caches
- Killing elites
It’s worth noting that regular Tortured Gift Chests during Helltides can grant Living Steel, but there’s also the Tortured Gift of Living Steel you should keep an eye out for.
Unfortunately, Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint, isn’t guaranteed to drop Ring of Midnight Sun in Diablo 4, but it is on his loot table. So, you have a chance each time you attempt it. I preferred to grind him out on a Spiritborn since it is a Unique specific to this class.
However, don’t feel like you have to only fight him. The Ring of Midnight Sun could drop in a wide assortment of places - Helltides, Whisper Caches, defeating Elites, various chests, or even potentially through the Purveyor of Curiosities. It’s not a sure thing anywhere, but you do have options.
What is Ring of Midnight Sun’s Unique effect in Diablo 4?
The Ring of Midnight Sun is quite an interesting Unique in Diablo 4. It grants Fire Resistance and Lightning Resistance, alongside a wealth of other stats. This item comes with Dexterity, Cooldown Reduction, Critical Strike Damage, and +Ranks to Mirage. However, that’s not what makes it shine.
Whenever you Critically Strike, you gain 20%-50% of the Vigor you spent in the last two seconds. This is your main resource as a Spiritborn, so each time you Crit, you can get a flood of Vigor back to keep the battle going.
On top of that, you have the Counterattack Passive Effect at all times. This grants a passive Dodge bonus, and anytime you dodge an attack, you immediately retaliate. This, you have even more chances to trigger the Ring’s ability.
