There are a few ways to farm rare items in Diablo 4 Season of Slaughter, and unlocking the Slaughterhouse is one of those ways. This unique dungeon is a great way to farm Bloodied Items, which is something to keep an eye out for while hunting down enemies. But first, you need to collect the Slaughterhouse Key, which is a rare drop in itself.

How to Get Slaughterhouse Keys
Slaughterhouse Keys are random drops from enemy mobs. For me, the best way to beat a lot of enemies and increase the drop rate turned out to be participating in Helltide events. This spawns several hordes of enemies, which is a great way to test out your strongest abilities. I’ve also found that AoE skills quickly diminish the hoard, which enables a faster way to search for Slaughterhouse Key loot.
How to Use Slaughterhouse Keys
Once you have a Slaughterhouse Key, check it out in your inventory and select it. This will give you a marker on your map. Head over there to enter the Slaughterhouse dungeon and fight waves of enemies. You get to clear the dungeon as the Butcher, so this is one of the ways to unlock the Butcher’s toolkit and test out all skills and abilities.
