Diablo 3 Conquista 350
The Boss Mode (Worlds Apart for Hardcore) conquest requires that you kill all the bosses in Diablo 3 at max level on Torment X within 20 minutes of the start of the game. Note that all players within a game must be present for every boss kill in order to get credit for the bounty — this necessitates the 'teleport saving' tactic outlined below.

1. Overview of the Curses Conquest
The Curses! (Stars Align for Hardcore) conquest requires that you kill 350 ormore monsters in a Cursed Chest event at level 70 on Torment X difficulty orhigher. Since it requires a modest amount of preparation and resides slightlyoutside of the core gameplay loop (you usually do not pursue Cursed Chests orcare about high kill numbers), this conquest is rated as medium difficulty.
2. Obtaining the Curses Conquest
In order to complete the Curses conquest with ease, it is highly recommendedthat you organize a full, four man party. This is both done to maximize AoE (keypart of your success) and to improve your chances at obtaining the specific, rareCursed Chest event that spawns the highest number of monsters. Once you have fourplayers, DO NOT form a party but organize via chat and start looking for theevent ON YOUR OWN, remaking games until one of you finds it. At that point,announce it to the other three and invite them to that game.
The desired Cursed Chest in found at the top of the hill of the CursedPeat event, found in Act V - Paths of the Drowned waypoint. The more commonstrategy (and a much more effective one with four people going at it, as weadvise) is to remake games until one of you finds the rare bounty of the samename, The Cursed Peat, marked on his map. That bounty guarantees the existenceof the necessary Cursed Chest.
Alternatively, you can do a short scouting run every game, teleporting toPaths of the Drowned and making a broad circle around the waypoint, but withoutstraying too far. This is a valid strategy (especially solo, where remaking forthe bounty can be a tedious experience) because the required event is much morecommon than its associated bounty — it can often appear, but will beunmarked on the map.
How can the answer be improved? Ad hominem examples in movies.
There is a total of six events that can spawn on the Paths of the Drownedlocale, including The Cursed Peat. Getting any of the five listed belowguarantees that the Cursed Chest will not spawn, and you should teleport outand remake game immediately:
- Lord of the Hill — this event spawns the correct hill for The CursedPeat you are looking for, but has you fight a rare monster instead of spawning aCursed Chest;
- Pillar of the Faithless — this event spawns a staircase leadingdownward towards a pillar, which summons a horde of undead;
- The Burning Man — this event spawns a pit filled with torches; it hasyou fight bogans and their wickerman master;
- Lord of Fools — this event spawns a decrepit mansion-like structurewhere ghostly creatures ambush you;
- The Crazed Camper, Lurk — he resides in a C-shaped clearing, furnishedwith a blood-soaked table and a cauldron.
To gain a minor edge during your attempt, you can aggro an elite and draw itnear the Cursed Chest. Finish it off right before starting the event to get thefresh, full duration damage bonus of Bane of the Powerful. If you are notwearing this legendary gem, you should! It is perfectly suited to farmingdifficulty tiers, like the ones you will be doing this conquest on. This tacticwill also benefit In-geom-wearing characters, although we do not advise toattempt this conquest on an In-geom-reliant build if possible.
Needless to say, but with a requirement to kill 350+ monsters this conquestis an upfront burst AoE DPS check, and many of the character's strongest buildsfor Greater Rifts will be poorly equipped to deal with it. Ideally, you will haveenough gear to adapt into another build — i.e. a Frenzy Thorns Barbarianwill switch to an Earthquake build, a Spirit Barrage Witch Doctor will switch toan Angry Chicken build, etc. If you are at all worried you do not have the propergear or character power to complete the conquest on your own, simply reach outfor help. Hunt out the Cursed Peat event on your own (it is only courteous ifyou will request a carry), and join the chat of any of the multiple Conquestcompletion communities. Make it clear you are looking for high AoE characters,prioritizing builds such as Multishot Demon Hunters and Wave of Light Monks.These two builds specifically should be able to oneshot the bounty without anyissue whatsoever.
3. A Second Chance
While it is by far the best and most secure way of getting the Curses conquestdone, the Cursed Peat can be a chore to track down. If you want to have a backupplan, consider quickly looking at the map for the Cursed Bellows event in Act I,Halls of Agony level 3. Similarly to the Cursed Peat, it has a bounty with amatching name and only takes a second to look for.
The Cursed Bellows chest is located in the fiery grates tileset of that level,and spawns its zombies at a slower rate and more spread out — making itslightly inferior to the Cursed Peat and necessitating that you take at least asecond party member for more AoE. Nevertheless, it offers a decent second chanceto complete the conquest.
