How to get Corrupted Horn of Duriel in Diablo 4 Season 11

Duriel is one of the four Lesser Evils available in Diablo 4 Season 11, and you have to obtain his Corrupted Horn to gain access to two Divine Gifts that will empower your build.

The Corrupted Horn is obtained by defeating Duriel, but the method is a bit complex. This guide will lay down the steps to encounter Duriel and obtain the Corrupted Horn.

How to get Duriel’s Corrupted Horn in Diablo 4 Season 11

You can encounter Duriel randomly in the Sanctuary, or you can summon him at the Pained Altar. The latter is the best way to secure the Corrupted Horn. I am unsure if you can get the Corrupted Horn of Duriel without having to summon.

To summon Duriel at the Pained Altar, you’ll need two Baneful Hearts. Baneful Hearts are extremely rare and can be found from Tortured Gift of Mysteries chests. These chests can be found all over Sanctuary during Season 11.

You can open the Tortured Gift of Mysteries chests with Abhorrent Cinders. You’ll require 75 cinders to open one chest, and Baneful Hearts aren’t guaranteed. The drop rate appears to be really low, so keep that in mind. Once you have found two, go to the Pained Altar to complete the summoning process.

While Duriel is a strong boss to take down, he is nowhere near as difficult as taking down Azmodan. You’ll either want to dodge as many of his attacks as possible or go for a full poison resistance build. Once you have defeated Duriel, he will drop the Corrupted Horn.

Again, you only get the Corrupted Horn by defeating the summoned Duriel in my experience. I managed to get it on my first attempt, so it could be something that is guaranteed. Once you gain the Corrupted Horn, you’ll find an updated objective asking you to return it to Hadriel.

How to use Corrupted Horn of Duriel in Diablo 4 Season 11

This part is relatively easy. Once you have the Corrupted Horn, visit Hadriel in Heavenly Forge. Submit the item you found, and you’ll be able to unlock Duriel’s Divine Gifts. Duriel has two Divine Gifts to offer: Essence of Pain and Essence of Squalor.

Call of Duty grinders, the wait for competitive play is just a bit longer, but it’s well on the way.

Ranked Play in Black Ops 7 is not available at launch, but it’s coming before you know it. When it arrives, multiplayer gamers will have all sorts of ranks and rewards to earn as they level up and climb the competitive ladder.

Here’s everything we know about Ranked Play in BO7, including when to expect it.

When is BO7 Ranked Play coming out?

According to Treyarch and Activision, Ranked Play will be available as part of season two of BO7. The start date for season two is not official yet, but according to the season one battle pass’s in-game countdown timer, it should be on Feb. 5, 2026.

CoD seasons last about two months long, and season one began on Dec. 4, 2025. While Feb. 5 is not set in stone, it’s a likely date alongside Feb. 12 or even Feb. 19 depending on if it gets delayed or not (which is, unfortunately, always a possibility). When this season is live, Ranked Play will be live along with it.

Season two will also bring everything that CoD players expect from seasonal drops, like new weapons, new maps, new Zombies experiences, new Warzone modes, and even updates for the PvE Endgame activity. But Ranked Play is where the hardcore players will be looking to flex.

More about Ranked Play will be revealed in January 2026, but for now, players can expect more of the same when it comes to Ranked that was seen in previous titles like Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare III, including:

• Multiple ranks and skill divisions to grind through
• Call of Duty League-inspired ruleset, modes, and maps
• Exclusive rewards like camos and player cards every season
• Plus more

Stay tuned for more official info from Activision some time after the holiday season on when to expect season two of BO7 and everything that will be included within it.
