How much Burning Aether have you collected in Diablo 4 Infernal Hordes? We recently reported players reaching almost 1,800 Burning Aether. And again players are discussing runs with up to 1,600 Burning Aether, while the average sits around 800 per run. The key to get the most rewards? Picking the right Infernal Offers!
What Are Infernal Hordes?
If you are not familiar with Infernal Hordes, it is a mini-dungeon activity where you battle through waves of enemies, leading up to a final boss fight. Each run rewards you with Burning Aether, which you can spend at the end to claim gear, gold, or crafting materials.
The fun comes in choosing Infernal Offers, modifiers that appear after each wave. These offers include:
- A Boon: A positive effect that can help you gain more Burning Aether.
- A Bane: A negative effect that increases the difficulty.
The right combination of Boons and Banes determines how much Burning Aether you will collect, but be careful: some choices can make the fight significantly harder.
Best Infernal Offers for More Burning Aether
Many players recommend focusing on Hellborne Boons, as they tend to be the most rewarding for extra Aether. However, Spires-related Boons are best avoided, as they slow down waves and make fights more difficult without a big payoff.
How to Hit 1,600 Burning Aether
Most players are averaging 800 Aether per run, but some have reported breaking the 1,600 Aether mark. A recent Reddit discussion highlights how players are optimizing their Infernal Offers to hit this number. If you are looking to increase your Aether income, it is worth checking out community strategies to improve your own runs.
If you are grinding Infernal Hordes in Diablo 4 for gold and materials, make sure to experiment with different Infernal Offers to find the best strategy. Every run is a balance of risk and reward, and with the right choices, you might just hit those huge Burning Aether numbers yourself!
Lastly, if you are farming Hordes for 
Obducite, don’t forget that you can also visit the Barter in the Mercenary Den and trade your Pale Marks for some extra Obducite.
