Diablo 4 Season 7's Witchcraft Season introduces a challenging new resource: Fugitive Heads. These are crucial for crafting Occult Gems, powerful items offering significant stat boosts. This guide explains how to obtain them.
What are Fugitive Heads?
Fugitive Heads are a key ingredient in crafting Occult Gems, which provide 160 Armor and 8% Resist All. These gems are essential for maximizing the benefits of the new Witchcraft Powers. To craft even a single Occult Gem, you'll need at least one Fugitive Head, along with 1,000 Restless Rot and 50,000 Gem Fragments.
How to Find Fugitive Heads
Fugitive Heads are acquired by completing Whisper bounties in the new Headhunt zones introduced in Season 7. Upon completion, there's a chance an Uprooted Cocoon will spawn. Defeating the Headrotten Boss that emerges from these cocoons sometimes yields a Fugitive Head.
Increasing Your Chances
The process is heavily reliant on chance. To improve your odds, utilize the Draught of Whispers Elixir. This elixir, obtainable from Exposed Roots, Whispers Cache, and Coven's Cache, boosts the Fugitive Head spawn rate by 50% and increases the likelihood of Forgotten Altars appearing.
Difficulty Matters
It's crucial to play on at least Torment difficulty. The spawn rate is significantly lower on easier difficulties. While challenging, the extended season length provides ample time to gather the necessary Fugitive Heads.
In summary, acquiring Fugitive Heads requires completing Headhunt zone bounties, hoping for Uprooted Cocoons, defeating Headrotten Bosses, and leveraging the Draught of Whispers Elixir. Remember to play on Torment difficulty or higher for the best chances of success.
Diablo 4 is available now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
