Demon Hearts are valuable crafting material in Diablo 4, but getting your hands on them isn’t as easy as you might think. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get Demon Hearts in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 Season 1 has arrived, and despite the negative reception to the many class nerfs, millions of players are still dropping in to see everything the Season of the Malignant has to offer. The 1.1.0 update added plenty of fresh content, from the new seasonal characters to Malignant Hearts.

But no matter what you’re doing in Diablo 4, gathering resources is essential, whether it’s Seeds of Hatred for new gear or Crushed Beast Bones. One crafting material that’s proving tough to get is Demon Hearts, used to upgrade Healing Potions.

If you’re struggling to track down this rare resource, then here’s everything you need to know about how to get Demon Hearts in Diablo 4.

How to find Demon Hearts in Diablo 4

As the name suggests, Demon Hearts can be earned by slaying demons in Diablo 4. Each time you send a demon back to hell, there’s a chance that a Demon Heart will drop for players to pick up.

However, the issue is that Demon Hearts are extremely rare and it could take hours to come across just one naturally. Higher World Tiers do help the drop rate, but you could still find yourself waiting a long time before finding one.

With this in mind, the best way to farm Demon Hearts is to head to a location swarming with demons to defeat.

Best locations to farm Demon Hearts in Diablo 4

One of the easiest places to find Demon Hearts in Diablo 4 is the Tormented Ruins dungeon in Fractured Peaks. This is the first dungeon you’ll encounter in Diablo 4, and the demons will respawn every time you fast-travel away, so it’s the ideal hunting ground for demons.

Simply battle your way through the hordes of enemies and keep your fingers crossed that a Demon Heart will be among the loot they drop.

Another option is to defeat the boss Almunn, who can be found in The Scarred Coast. Defeating this powerful enemy guarantees one Demon Heart as a reward, so it’s an ideal place to start. However, you may have to log out of the game multiple times before he respawns, so it can be a time-consuming way to farm.

With these tips, hopefully, you’ll be able to drastically increase the number of Demon Hearts you find in Diablo 4 and upgrade your Healing Potions in the process.
