Diablo Immortal: Spirit Essence Bug & Behelit Event Update

TL;DR: Spirit Essences vanished after the latest patch—Blizzard is on it. Meanwhile, the Berserk crossover (May 1–30) hands out free crests, cosmetics, and the limited Crimson Behelit gem. Snag as many copies as you can now; topping off later with Telluric Pearls will cost extra.

Spirit Essence Bug – What Happened?

Familiar Spirit Essences disappeared for many players right after the update, stopping pet upgrades cold. Blizzard’s community team has flagged it as a bug and a hotfix is pending. Until then, pet progression is on hold, but all other activities still pay normal rewards.

  • No workaround: Upgrading pets must wait for the fix.
  • Keep playing: Events like Wild Brawl still drop loot and gold, so you can prepare for the fix.

Berserk Crossover: Crimson Behelit Explained

Why This Gem Matters

The Crimson Behelit is a two-star Legendary Gem that boosts Fear damage and raw DPS. It’s far easier to acquire during the month-long event, which grants one free copy and ten Legendary Crests just for showing up.

Fast-Track Upgrade Plan

  1. Log in daily to collect event milestones and your free Behelit copy.
  2. Spam Elder Rifts during the boosted drop window to farm duplicates.
  3. You need 41 total copies for rank 10. Any missing copies can be crafted later with Telluric Pearls—expect two pearls per gem once the event ends.

Freebies & Cosmetics

The event also dishes out an Eclipse portal frame, a themed avatar, and a weapon skin for every class. Finish the track and you’ll pocket at least ten free Legendary Crests.

What’s Not in This Patch

  • No new class—yet: The next hero is slated for late June to August.
  • Paragon 800 gear chase: Inferno VI loot is live. Save Moonlight Flora maps until you’re ready to swap out green gear at this tier.

Pro Tips Before You Grind

Hoard Flora maps until each new difficulty unlocks—running them early wastes potential item levels.
Don’t spend Gem Power ranking Behelit during the event; duplicate hunting comes first.
Thursday noon ET developer streams often drop bonus codes—keep a browser tab ready.

The Bottom Line

The Spirit Essence bug is a nuisance, but temporary. The Berserk event, however, is a golden chance to power-up fast. Farm hard now, and you’ll avoid pricey Pearl costs down the road.
