Aspirant’s Keys upgrade Horadrim Vessels, and certain chests within Sanctum Depths contain gems to level up these vessels at Iben Fahd’s Sanctum. Our website offers a comprehensive Horadrim Vessels guide.

Sanctum Depths, where these chests are located, become accessible after initiating a specific questline. Upgrading Horadrim Vessels at Iben Fahd’s Sanctum results in various permanent buffs based on your upgrade.

Obtaining Aspirant’s Keys In Diablo Immortal

Based on my gameplay experience, I believe Aspirant’s Keys are crucial upgrades in Diablo Immortal, necessary for unlocking numerous chests with the best player upgrades. Two methods exist for obtaining Aspirant’s Keys, each with its limitations.

Buying Keys

You can purchase keys through in-app microtransactions or in-game currency. While the latter method can be time-consuming, it saves you from spending real money on Diablo Immortal.

You gain instant access to their uses when buying from the app store. The Diablo Immortal store offers packages of Aspirant’s Keys for various prices, with a bundle of 150 keys costing approximately $8.99.

Farming Keys

I found this method slower than purchasing keys, but it doesn’t require real money. It involves grinding for hilts, Diablo Immortal’s in-game trading currency.

You can trade 50 hilts daily for 5 Aspirant’s Keys. Accumulating sufficient hilts takes time but is achievable in the game.

Choose the method that suits your preference and resources to obtain Aspirant’s Keys in Diablo Immortal. We’ll discuss the entire farming method further in the article. 

How To Obtain Hilts

Hilts are very easy to come by in Diablo Immortal. In fact, you’ll have enough to trade for Aspirant’s Keys before you even need them.

Following are the ways I uncovered to obtain Hilts in Diablo Immortal:

  1. Register your first kill every day in Diablo Immortal to get Hilts.
  2. Complete rifts to increase your leaderboard ranking and get Hilts as a reward.
  3. Completing achievements of codex grants Hilts.
  4. Leveling up your battle pass is the best method to get your hands on Hilts.
  5. Participating in PVP and increasing your overall leaderboard ranking will increase your chances of getting Hilts.

How To Use Aspirant’s Keys 

After collecting enough Aspirant’s Keys, you can unlock chests in Sanctum Depths, which exclusively contain culling stones as rewards. These culling stones can be used at Iben Fahd’s Sanctum to permanently enhance your character’s stats, levels, and combat rating.

Sanctum Depths comprises four rooms, each containing five chests filled with culling stones. The first chest is free for all players, while the others require Aspirant’s Keys to open. The number of keys needed increases for later chests, but they yield more culling stones in return.

Now, let me delve into the specifics of Aspirant’s Keys for each room and the rewards obtained by opening these chests:

  • 573 Garnet
  • 579 Sapphire
  • 677 Beryl

Garnet, Sapphire, and Beryl are collectively known as Culling Stones.

Room 1

Room 1 contains a total of 80 Culling Stones, and you’ll need almost 15 Aspirant’s Keys to access them all.

Upgrades From Culling Stones 

I found that Culling Stones will let you upgrade the following stats at Iben Fahd’s Sanctum:

  • Life
  • Damage
  • Armor
  • Armor Penetration
  • Resistance
  • Potency

These stats complement the non-primary attributes of your character in Diablo Immortal. Basically, Culling Stones will upgrade vessels that will boost your stats. Diablo Immortal has many different vessels, and different culling stones are specific for some vessels.

Culling Stones include Beryl, Garnet, and Sapphire. They are very specific for those vessels that they upgrade.

I’ve given list of vessels upgraded by these 3 Culling Stones:

  • Beryl: Guilt of the Nameless, Jered Cain’s Vision, and Nor Tiraj’s Knowledge.
  • Garnet: Nilfur’s Precision, Tal Rasha’s Authority, and Zoltun Kulle’s Ingenuity.
  • Sapphire: Caldensann’s Compassion and Iben Fahds’s Tenacity. 

The following table explains the permanent stat buffs you get from these vessels.

Vessel Name Base Buff Stat Upgrade per Level
Caldensann’s Compassion Armor Penetration +9
Armor +9
+9
Cathan’s Piety Potency +9
Resistance +9
+9
Guilt of the Nameless Resistance +18 +18
Iben Fahds’s Tenacity Damage +9
Life +9
+9
Jered Cain’s Vision Armor +18 +18
Nilfur’s Precision Armor Penetration +18 +18
Nor Tiraj’s Knowledge Life +40 +40
Tal Rasha’s Authority Damage +4 +4
Zoltun Kulle’s Ingenuity Potency +18 +18

Aspirant’s Keys are equally important to upgrade your character’s stats. You’ll need these upgrades as you’ll face many tough bosses, including Blood Rose, Vitaath, Ancient Nightmare, Helliquary, and Tax Collector.

Our website also features guides on other Diablo Immortal Bosses that you should check out. As Diablo Immortal is a massive online experience, Blizzard’s Servers must provide gameplay. PVP is a major part of gameplay this time around, and you’re going to have to join Shadow Factions to take part in PVP.

Leveling up does not only mean upgrading your stats but also your class. Diablo Immortal features a huge catalog of classes for players to choose from. Check out our guide on the Best Classes. If you’ve already decided on a class, then try reading our NecromancerBarbarian, and Demon Hunter builds guides.
