Diablo 4 Season 11 is all about your fight against the Lesser Evils, and you can get yourself some extra help in the form of the Divine Gifts.
The Divine Gifts mechanic is tied to the core offering of the new season. These heavenly boons offer you extra benefits to fight the evil that plagues Season 11. Some of these boons are special attacks, while the rest are excellent passives that allow you to enhance your builds.
While the Divine Gifts are pretty strong in their base form, you can upgrade them even further. The upgrade process is easy to understand, but extremely grindy in my experience so far. Here’s how it works.

How to upgrade Divine Gifts in Diablo 4 Season 11
There are four Lesser Evils in Season 11.
- Andariel (The Undercity)
- Azmodan (Hawezar)
- Belial (The Pit)
- Duriel (Helltides)
Each Lesser Evil drops two Divine Gifts. To level a Divine Gift up, you’ll have to grind the particular boss activity until you gain enough points to rank up. When you defeat a boss, you’ll gain an item that raises your rank by one point. You’ll want to grind the Lesser Evil based on which Divine Gift you want to upgrade.

For example, if you defeat Belial, you’ll get an item that only ranks up the Divine Gifts that you get from him. To rank up the other Divine Gifts, you’ll have to take on other types of Lesser Evils.
