To get the Skyhunter in Diablo 4, you can farm specific bosses such as Lord Zir and Varshan, who have a chance to drop the Bow.

Ladder Bosses and Uber Bosses allow for targeted farming, so repeatedly defeating them increases your chances of obtaining the Skyhunter.

Aside from boss drops, the Skyhunter can also be acquired from enemies and chests throughout Diablo 4's open world. The best ways to farm for it include completing Nightmare Dungeons, participating in World Events, slaying World Bosses, and continuously running Nightmare Dungeons for high-tier loot.

Another reliable method is farming Helltide Events, where the Skyhunter can be found in chests. These events occur hourly, and collecting as many Cinders as possible will allow you to open multiple chests, increasing your loot chances.

Lastly, if you're feeling lucky, you can try obtaining the Skyhunter by gambling at the Purveyor of Curiosity. Spending Murmuring Obols here may yield powerful gear, but as item rarity ranges from Magic to Mythic Unique, there's no guaranteed way to acquire the Skyhunter through this method. Therefore, use this as your last resort.
