It's easiest to farm this in Adventure Mode.
- Restart the game over and over until Desolate Sands of Act II has the Bounty "The Ancient Devices".
- Each bounty run allows for activating the device four times!
It's much more difficult to collect the ten unique activations in Campaign Mode:
1. Set the Checkpoint
- Start quest #8 The Black Soulstone > Realm of Shadow.
- Teleport to the waypoint Archives of Zoltun Kulle.
- Head south-west and towards the exit to Desolate Sands.
- The Checkpoint is located right before the exit.
2. Repeat from the Checkpoint
- Take the exit to Desolate Sands.
- Head south-east to the end of the bridge.
- Head straight south to check if the ancient device is located at spawn #1.
- If it's not there:
- Teleport to the waypoint Desolate Sands using the map.
- Head a little bit north to check if the ancient device is located at spawn #2.
It's just a very short walk until you see the stairs that lead to the device (if it's there). - If it's not there:
- Use the waypoint and teleport to Hidden Camp. That teleportation is instant. Don't use the map or a city portal.
- Leave the game. That's also instant if done from Hidden Camp.
- Resume the game, go back to the checkpoint and try again.
Special Notes:
- Don't worry if the waypoint Desolate Sands is sometimes far away from spawn #2. If the ancient device is located at spawn #2 then the waypoint is usually located directly south of it.
- Try to remember how the area around the waypoint Desolate Sands looks like when the ancient device is there (i.e. at spawn #2), and when it's not there. With a little practice you can tell whether it's there even without having to move away from the waypoint to check for the stairs.
- If you can already see the waypoint on the minimap while checking out spawn #1 then there's likely no ancient device at spawn #2 so you can just skip it and leave the game immediately for the next try.
