How to Farm Cowardly Fate: Strategies for Act 3 and Beyond

To farm Cowardly Fate efficiently, your main focus is on repeatedly running the Trial of Chaos in Act 3 and beyond. First, make sure you have unlocked the Trial of Chaos by progressing through the Vaal Jungle area in Act 3. You will need to defeat the unique boss Xyclucian, the Chimera, to obtain a Chimeral Inscribed Ultimatum. This item allows you to enter the Trial multiple times, making farming viable.

Each full completion of the Trial of Chaos rewards you with a chance to obtain one of the three Fates, including Cowardly Fate. To maximize your chances, repeat these runs often. Once you progress to Cruel difficulty, the drop rates and loot quality improve, so doing your farming runs at this level or higher is beneficial.

Your build should emphasize high movement speed, area damage for quick clears, and strong defenses to survive traps and bosses inside the Trial. Crowd control abilities that can slow or stun enemies will also help you manage difficult encounters more effectively.

As you move into the endgame, you can boost your farming efficiency by modifying your maps and optimizing your Atlas passive tree. Focusing on passives and map modifiers that increase Citadel or Trial map drops, enhance fragment rewards, and improve item quantity/rarity will give you more Fates per run. Running Trials at higher area levels (such as level 76 and above) will yield better loot, though be sure your build can handle the increased difficulty.

If you find yourself struggling with RNG or need to speed up the process, the Currency Exchange NPC found from Act 2 onwards sometimes offers a way to buy Cowardly Fate fragments, which can supplement your farming. Additionally, in trade leagues, acquiring extra Inscribed Ultimatums from other players can accelerate your farming runs.

To optimize your farm, focus on doing consistent, complete runs back-to-back rather than rushing. Clearing your inventory between attempts helps prevent missing stackable loot. Also, selling or trading excess Fates or fragments can help fund further farming or crafting.

Following these strategies will help you steadily gather Cowardly Fate fragments, allowing you to unlock the Trialmaster door and move forward with pinnacle in-game challenges. Let me know if you'd like tips on builds or handling the Trialmaster fight itself!
