How to get Red Dust in Diablo 4
Click to enlargeRed Dust is derived from Seeds of Hatred, and the only place in the game to find Seeds of Hatred is in the Fields of Hatred. There are two Fields of Hatred in Diablo 4 — one in the Dry Steppes and another in Kehjistan.
In the Fields of Hatred, you will come across Seeds of Hatred. You can get Seeds of Hatred by participating in various activities in the Fields of Hatred, such as killing other players, slaying monsters, opening chests, and besting the Seething Abomination.
If you die in the Fields of Hatred, you will lose all the Seeds of Hatred on your person, and if you leave the Fields of Hatred, all your Seeds of Hatred will disappear. To get Red Dust, you must convert your Seeds of Hatred by visiting an Altar of Extraction and performing a Purification Ritual.
Both Fields of Hatred have four Altars of Extraction scattered around the region. Interact with any Altar of Extraction to begin the Purification Ritual. Purification Rituals last about 50 seconds, during which you must withstand an onslaught of monsters, plus any enemy players that decide to jump into the fray.
If you can manage to survive the Purification Ritual, all your Seeds of Hatred will transform into Red Dust.
