The Unholy Defiler of the Hidden Hand is a Crafting device introduced in Update 61 with the Vecna Unleashed expansion, to upgrade weapons and shields from quests in Vecna Unleashed and create Minor Artifacts. It is located in Morgrave University - Upper Commons, in the rafters above Steps Obliss - to get there, jump on the barrels in the nearby tavern. It can be only seen/used if you wear Steps' Lenses of Seein' Hidden Hand Secrets. Speak to Steps Obliss to acquire the goggles (this needs to be done on a total of 14 consecutive days on one character.)
Along with a copy of an item from Vecna Unleashed, all upgrades require all four types of Dust of Vile Darkness:
- Gray Dust of Vile Darkness and Legendary Gray Dust of Vile Darkness drop in Vecna Denied (Belanatharis Dragon second chest.)
- Black Dust of Vile Darkness and Legendary Black Dust of Vile Darkness drop in Taken in Hand (Second main room, behind barrels.)
- Crimson Dust of Vile Darkness and Legendary Crimson Dust of Vile Darkness drop in The Evil We Know (Underneath Conch optional.)
- Golden Dust of Vile Darkness and Legendary Golden Dust of Vile Darkness drop in The Hand and the Eyes (North of the final shrine.) Note that unlike the other quests, this is part of Grip of the Hidden Hand.
Crafted items:
