Diamond Matrons are one of those enemy types in Last Epoch that can really slow down your progress, not because they’re hard to kill, but because they’re tricky to find. Whether you’re chasing a Circle of Fortune prophecy or trying to tick off a bestiary entry, hunting them down efficiently requires some targeted knowledge.

Fortunately, there’s a clear path to finding Diamond Matrons without relying entirely on the randomness of Monolith Echoes. This guide will walk you through the best locations to farm Diamond Matrons, and how to make the most out of your time in both the story and Monolith content.

Story Zone Locations – A More Reliable Method

The most consistent and efficient method for finding Diamond Matrons is by revisiting specific story zones located in the Maj’elka region during the Divine Era. These areas are unlocked during the main campaign, and once you've progressed far enough, you can return at any time using waypoints.

The zones you’ll want to focus on are:

• Temple Rooftops
• The Upper Temple
• The Lower Temple

All three of these zones feature Diamond Matrons in their natural spawn pools, making them ideal for targeted farming. These areas are not procedurally generated like Monolith Echoes, meaning the spawn points tend to remain consistent. This gives you the upper hand when it comes to farming with precision.

The Best Farming Location

Of all the available zones, The Upper Temple stands out as the premier location for farming Diamond Matrons. Not only does it offer a dense concentration of enemies, but it also features three specific spawn points where Diamond Matrons appear consistently. Even better, all of these spawn points are located near the zone’s waypoint.

This setup allows you to complete quick farming runs in mere minutes. Once you’ve cleared all three Matron locations, simply teleport to another waypoint and then return to the Upper Temple. Doing so will reset the zone, allowing you to farm the same enemies again without delay.

This method dramatically reduces downtime and helps you avoid the unpredictability of Monolith farming. It's particularly effective for players who are high enough level to breeze through the temple’s enemies without stopping.

Resetting the Upper Temple 

Resetting the story zone is a simple process and one that allows for continuous farming:

1. After clearing the known Matron spawn points, open your map and teleport to any other major waypoint.
2. Wait a few seconds, then use the waypoint system to return to the Upper Temple.
3. The map will reset, and so will the enemies, including the Diamond Matrons.

You can repeat this cycle as many times as needed, making it an efficient loop for farming Circle of Fortune prophecies or hunting specific loot drops.

Diamond Matrons in Monolith Echoes

While the Upper Temple is the go-to location for farming Diamond Matrons quickly, there are times when the game will require you to defeat them inside Monolith Echoes, especially if a prophecy specifically states that kills must happen within Monolith content.

If that’s the case, your best bet is to explore Echoes within the following Monoliths:

• The Age of Winter
• The Stolen Lance
• Ending the Storm
• Reign of Dragons

Unfortunately, Monolith Echoes are procedurally generated, and enemy spawns can vary significantly from one run to the next. There’s no guarantee you’ll encounter Diamond Matrons on any given Echo, so this method is more suited to passive farming. In other words, if you're already progressing through a Monolith for rewards or timeline completions, you might come across Diamond Matrons naturally along the way.

But if you're looking to specifically farm them and are under time constraints, the randomness of Monoliths makes them far less efficient than simply rerunning the Upper Temple.

Optimize Your Strategy

If you're working on Circle of Fortune prophecies that involve defeating Diamond Matrons, your approach will depend on the specific requirements of each prophecy.

• If the prophecy does not specify where the Diamond Matrons need to be slain, then the Upper Temple method is by far the fastest and most efficient route.
• If the prophecy states that the kills must occur within a Monolith, then you'll need to dive into the Monoliths listed above and rely on some luck to get the right Echo spawns.

In cases where the prophecy has no location restriction, using the Upper Temple reset method can help you quickly burn through multiple prophecies in a short amount of time. It’s also a great strategy if you’re hunting specific item rewards tied to Diamond Matron prophecy completions.

Diamond Matrons may not be the most dangerous enemies in Last Epoch, but the time it takes to find them, especially in Monoliths, can be a frustrating bottleneck for players chasing specific goals. By focusing your farming efforts in the Upper Temple zone within the Maj’elka region, you can dramatically cut down on wasted time and increase your efficiency.

Whether you're progressing through prophecies, filling out the Enemy compendium, or simply looking for rare loot drops, knowing where and how to farm Diamond Matrons will give you a crucial edge. Keep your build optimized, your teleport finger ready, and you’ll be clearing Diamond Matrons like clockwork.
