Harlequin Crest is classified as an Uber Unique Helm, is a sought-after piece of headgear in Diablo 4, designed for all character classes. Renowned for its ability to enhance the effectiveness of various skills and offer notable damage reduction, this helm stands out as a recognizable piece from Diablo 2 where the item was often referred to as Shako.
Why is Harlequin Crest Referred to as Shako?
The Harlequin Crest was a highly sought item in Diablo 2 and the unique version of the base item Shako was Harlequin Crest. Due to naming conventions for online lobbies in Diablo 2 being limited to 15 characters, the community referenced a lot of unique items by short-hand names. The community settled on calling the Harlequin Crest by Shako.
Where to Farm Harlequin Crest
The best boss to farm the Harlequin Crest (Shako) is Duriel, King of Maggots. As with all Uber Unqiues you must be on World Tier 4 and farming enemies higher than level 85.
