How to Sanctify Items in Diablo 4

Sanctification is unlocked in two phases, depending on Diablo 4 Items your progression: pre-Torment and post-Torment.

If you decline, you must defeat another Lesser Evil to unlock. This early access is limited and intended as a preview of the system.

2. Post-Torment: Full Access Through Heavenly Sigils

Once you enter Torment difficulty, you gain reliable and repeatable access to Sanctification via Heavenly Sigils, a new seasonal currency.
