Since you can only get Stygian Stones from within the Pit, knowing how to unlock it first is essential. Players can unlock The Pit by reaching World Tier 4: Torment difficulty and interacting with the Artificier’s Obelisk in Cerrigar of the Scosglen region.

To enter The Pit, players must use “Runeshards,” which can be obtained by completing Whisper Bounties, Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide events, and Legion events.
