While you can come across the item through various means, the highest chance of it dropping is when you defeat Lord Zir boss. The challenging boss has become a Tormented Boss after Season 6 of Diablo 4, which is why he will drop Mythic Unique items from time to time. Head to the Ancient’s Seat dungeon to encounter this boss. However, make sure you fulfill the necessary requirements. These include:

  • You must be in Torment Difficulty for the boss fight to trigger.
  • You need nine Exquisite Blood to summon the Tormented Boss at this location.

To make this easier, you should form a team with other players using the Social tab. Together, you can take down Lord Zir much quicker and pool the resources the boss drops. Also, explore our Lord Zir boss guide to understand how you can beat him easily.

If you are reluctant to farm Okun’s Catalyst in this manner, you have a few other options, such as gambling with the Purveyor of Curiosities or waiting for it to drop in Helltide Events.

If you’ve managed to snag the Okun’s Catalyst in Diablo 4, you need to understand how to use it for maximum efficacy. It has the following affixes:

AffixesEffects
1st AffixAttack Speed increases by up to 35% for 5 secs after you cast a Defensive Spell.
2nd AffixEvery active Ball Lightning results in up to 1.5% of increased Damage Reduction
3rd AffixBall Lightning skill rank increases by 1-3 ranks
4th AffixBall Lightning spell may cast twice and the chance of that happening is between 13 and 17.5%

The greatest benefit of Okun’s Catalyst though is that it makes the Ball Lightning orbit the player upon casting. Any enemies caught in this orbit will be damaged between 140% and 180% of normal Ball Lightning damage for every active Ball. Players also receive the Unhindered Buff when this effect is active.

So, it is clear that this unique focus item would be quite useful for certain Sorcerer builds, especially the Ball Lightning Sorcerer build. Combining it with other uniques, such as the Heir of Perdition and the Ring of Starless Skies can make this build incredibly powerful.
