How to get the Aspect of Piercing Cold in Diablo 4

A necessary Aspect for Frost Sorcerers

The Aspect of Piercing Cold is a necessity for any Frost Sorcerer in Diablo 4. This Aspect allows Sorcerers to use their Ice Shards skill to a much greater effect. As Frost Sorcerers know, Ice Shards is the key skill that makes the entire build go, and amplifying it anyway is a huge boon.

However, early on in Diablo 4, some players have been confused as to how they can get their hands on this particular Aspect.

If you have been wondering exactly how you can acquire the Aspect of Piercing Cold in Diablo 4, then you’ve come to the right place. I will go over all of the ways you can acquire this Aspect in the guide below.

Getting the Aspect of Piercing Cold in Diablo 4

The simplest way to acquire the Aspect of Piercing Cold is to complete the Dead Man’s Dredge dungeon, which is located in the Gale Valley region of Fractured Peaks. There are no requirements to complete this dungeon, so you can head straight there after reaching Kyovashad for the first time.

Once you complete the Dead Man’s Dredge dungeon, the Aspect of Piercing Cold will be added to your Codex of Power. You will then be able to imprint the Aspect onto certain gear at The Occultist. This Aspect can be used on the following items: 1H weapon, 2H weapon, Gloves, Rings, and Amulets.

Speaking of The Occultist, the second way to acquire the Aspect is to extract it from a piece of legendary gear in Diablo 4. This requires luck, as you need to find a legendary gear piece pre-equipped with the Aspect. If you manage to find one, though, take it to The Occultist, extract the Aspect, and then it will be ready to use in your inventory. Be careful, though, as Aspects from your inventory can only be used once.

And that’s everything you need to know about acquiring the Aspect of Piercing Cold in Diablo 4.
