Headless Pyre is one of three limited head cosmetics in Diablo Immortal’s Hallows Phantom event, alongside Headless Miasma and Headless Haunt. The event runs from after maintenance on October 21, 2026 until November 11 at 2:59 AM. You earn Hallowed Stones from a Halloween-themed Defense of Cyrangar and from daily and weekly quests, then trade them for the cosmetic. As of the latest information, Blizzard has not published the Stone cost of each cosmetic or separate unlock dates, and unused Stones vanish when the event ends.

What Is Headless Pyre in Diablo Immortal?
Headless Pyre is a limited-time head cosmetic that replaces your character’s head with a spooky effect. Blizzard lists it with two siblings, Headless Miasma and Headless Haunt, as rewards for completing event tasks and spending Hallowed Stones. The studio calls them limited head cosmetics.
The event is called Hallows Phantom, and Blizzard describes it as Hallows Wake returning with a special Halloween-themed Defense of Cyrangar. Citizens of Westmarch have decorated the city for the occasion.
The name varies between outlets. Blizzard writes both Hallows Wake and Hallows Phantom, and some coverage uses Hallow’s Wake, so search for any of those spellings in the in-game event list. Our guide uses Blizzard’s own names.
Hallows Phantom Dates and US Times
Blizzard lists the event in server time, so here is what matters for US players.
| Item | Date and time |
|---|---|
| Maintenance, Americas servers | October 21, 1 AM to 3 AM PDT (4 AM to 6 AM ET) |
| Hallows Phantom starts | October 21, 2026, after maintenance |
| Hallows Phantom ends | November 11, 2026, 2:59 AM |
| Event length | 21 days |
| Long March campaign | October 21 to November 11, 2:59 AM |
| Weekly task refresh (Long March) | Every Wednesday at 3:00 AM |
Blizzard does not name the time zone for the 2:59 AM end time in this post. Earlier Hallow’s Wake announcements used local server time, so confirm your own server’s cutoff in game. Because the end is early in the morning, plan to spend your Stones the night before.
Returning events run alongside it, including Trial of the Hordes from October 21 to 27, Shady Stock from October 24 to 31, Fractured Plane from October 28 to November 4 and All Clans on Deck from October 31 to November 7. Their times are also in server time. For another recent live-service update with fixed dates, see our Once Human Isles of Abyss guide.
How to Unlock Headless Pyre
The unlock path is simple, though the exact prices are missing.
- Install the patch. Wait for maintenance to finish on October 21.
- Collect the Crone’s gift. Blizzard says you start the event by receiving a gift from the Crone.
- Run the Halloween Defense of Cyrangar. You fight hordes of monsters in a spooky version of the event.
- Finish daily and weekly quests. These quests give Hallowed Stones.
- Trade Stones for rewards. Blizzard lists gold, Arcane Dust, Telluric Pearls and Legendary Crests as other prizes, plus the three head cosmetics.
- Equip the cosmetic. Check the cosmetics menu once you have it.
Because Blizzard has not published each item’s price, check the Crone’s shop before you spend a single Stone. Buy the cosmetic you want first, then use leftover Stones on gold, materials and crests.
Hallowed Stones Cost: What Is Confirmed
Here is the confirmed information and the gaps.
| Question | Status |
|---|---|
| Does Headless Pyre cost Hallowed Stones? | Yes, Blizzard lists it among the Stone rewards |
| How many Stones does it cost? | Not published |
| Do all three head cosmetics cost the same? | Not published |
| Can you buy it with other currency? | Not announced |
| Do unused Stones carry over? | No, they are removed when the event ends |
Because of that, any Stone price you read before you open the shop is a guess. The in-game shop is the only reliable source today. We will update this table once players confirm the prices.
Where Is the Crone’s Shop?
The 2026 announcement says you receive a gift from the Crone, and it describes the city of Westmarch as decorated. It does not name the shop’s exact location. Earlier Hallow’s Wake announcements told players to visit the Crone in Westmarch for daily rewards and her wares, so Westmarch is the best place to start.
If you cannot find her, open the event menu and look for Hallows Phantom or Hallows Wake. Event tabs usually let you jump to the right screen. Some outlets call her the Phantom Crone, but Blizzard’s post uses only the Crone.
Headless Pyre vs Headless Miasma vs Headless Haunt: Unlock Dates
The official post groups all three cosmetics under the same event period and does not stagger them. That means there is no separate unlock date for Headless Pyre or Headless Miasma.
| Cosmetic | Listed in the event | Separate unlock date |
|---|---|---|
| Headless Pyre | Yes | Not announced |
| Headless Miasma | Yes | Not announced |
| Headless Haunt | Yes | Not announced |
The post says you complete tasks and Hallowed Stones to unlock the cosmetics. It does not say whether any of them appear later in the event, so check the shop each week. In earlier years, Blizzard has not always staged its Headless items, and this year’s post gives no sign that it will.
How to Farm Hallowed Stones Fast
Blizzard publishes no Stone amounts, so our plan relies on the official event structure.
- Do every daily quest. Blizzard says the daily and weekly quests are the way to earn Stones.
- Clear the weekly quests early. Weekly tasks in the Long March refresh on Wednesday at 3:00 AM, and the Hallows Phantom weekly reset time is not specified, so check the timer.
- Run the Halloween Defense of Cyrangar. It is the event’s main activity, so treat it as your core farm.
- Watch the leaderboards. Server-wide leaderboards award extra prizes at the end, so strong runs may pay off twice.
- Pair it with other events. Long March tasks and returning events use different activities, so you can progress several at once.
In practice, a steady routine beats a rush. A 21-day window leaves time for daily quests alone, but the leaderboards reward more effort. Compare your own Stone gain per run after your first few waves before you decide how much to play.
What Happens to Stones and Cosmetics After the Event
Blizzard states that any unused Hallowed Stones are removed when the event ends. That is the one firm deadline in the post.
The cosmetic rules need more care. Earlier Diablo Immortal events handled Headless items differently. A 2024 announcement said Headless cosmetics stay in your inventory after the event, while a 2025 post said they could be equipped for a limited time. The 2026 post only calls them limited head cosmetics. As a result, assume the cosmetic is limited, and read the item tooltip for the exact wear period before you buy.
Other Rewards and Patch 5.1.2 Highlights
Hallowed Stones also buy practical items, so you do not need to hold them for cosmetics alone. Beyond that, Patch 5.1.2 adds several changes worth knowing:
- Long March: a new event campaign with Skeletal Spoils that you trade for Telluric Pearls, 1-Star Legendary Gems, set items and Legendary item chests.
- Gifts of Corvus: balance changes to several gifts, such as Superior Bandage restoring 15% Life every 0.5 seconds, up from 10%.
- New gear: more Legendary Gear and Essences for Monk, Demon Hunter, Druid, Blood Knight and Warlock, plus class balance changes.
- Inventory pinning: you can pin up to 22 items.
- Secondary Item Rank: the cap rises from 25 to 30, with ranks tied to Paragon milestones.
- Challenge Rift Season 21: it begins November 2 and adds levels 901 to 950.
Tips and Common Mistakes
- Spending Stones blindly. Check each price in the shop first.
- Leaving Stones unspent. They are removed when the event ends.
- Searching for a different event name. Look for Hallows Phantom and Hallows Wake.
- Assuming staggered unlocks. Blizzard lists all three cosmetics at once.
- Skipping the Crone’s gift. It starts the event.
- Ignoring the end time. The event closes at 2:59 AM on November 11.
Conclusion
Diablo Immortal Headless Pyre is a limited head cosmetic from Hallows Phantom, available from October 21 to November 11, 2026. Earn Hallowed Stones through daily and weekly quests and the Halloween Defense of Cyrangar, check the shop for prices and spend every Stone before the event closes. Blizzard has not announced costs or separate unlock dates, so confirm in game.
