How to quickly get The Butcher's Cleaver in Diablo 4

Whether you are butchering enemies, opening chests, or completing objectives and quests, Diablo 4 provides a ton of loot for the players. Although, a weapon as powerful as Butcher's Cleaver can be exclusively acquired by progressing in World Tier III and IV.

You can get the weapon by completing side dungeons and taking down a Butcher. However, there is a slight possibility that you will receive the Unique weapon as a drop, but you can try multiple times since the monster will continue to spawn randomly in other dungeons.

Furthermore, the Butcher is a demanding boss who will despawn if you die. It will also vanish if you lose a lot of time killing him.

On the other hand, farming-side dungeons can also help you to loot powerful weapons. They can be upgraded and combined with equipment and gems to enhance your loadout.
