Diablo 4: How To Get The Heir Of Perdition Mythic Unique Helm

If you’re looking to use the Heir of Perdition in Diablo 4, here’s where to find it and how it works. The Heir of Perdition is an Ancestral Mythic Unique item that was added to Diablo 4 during Season Six. This helmet can be worn by any type of character, so no matter what your build is, you can use it. It has a unique ability as well as some base buffs to your stats.

Unique items like the Heir of Perdition are the rarest to find in Diablo 4, so it can be tricky getting your hands on it. That said, if you know what bosses to fight, you can increase your chances of getting this helmet. It will also be easier to get the Heir of Perdition if you do other Diablo 4 endgame activities like The Pit of the Artificer.

Boss Drops $ Crafting Are The Best Ways To Get The Helmet

There are two main ways to get the Heir of Perdition in Diablo 4. The first way is to earn it as a loot drop. Certain bosses have a chance to drop the Heir of Perdition, and this chance increases if you are playing on the highest Torment difficulty. You can also drink a Seething Opal equipment elixir, which will increase the rate at which Unique items are dropped. The following bosses drop The Heir of Perdition:

  • Varshan
  • Lord Zir
  • Grigoire
  • Echo of Duriel
  • The Beast in the Ice
  • Echo of Andariel

The other main way to get the Heir of Perdition is to craft it. You can try to luck into crafting one by crafting a random Mythic item at the game's Blacksmith. This is risky, as it costs two Resplendent Sparks and you don’t know what you’ll get. You can also go to the Jewelcrafter and craft the Heir of Perdition using two Resplendent Sparks, six Jah Runes, six Que Runes, and six Gar Runes. Farming these materials could potentially take longer than getting the helmet in a boss drop, but this is the only guaranteed way to get it.

Putting on the Heir of Perdition will immediately activate its unique effect, giving you a stack of Mother’s Favor. For each stack of Mother’s Favor you have, you will do an additional 60% damage to enemies. The only way to get additional stacks is to steal them from other players using the Heir of Perdition. You will temporarily steal their stack if you are killing more enemies than them nearby. You can also lose your stack to them if you are being outperformed.

Aside from its unique ability, the Heir of Perdition also gives you a buff that lets you do 200% damage to angels and demons. The interesting part of this effect is that Diablo 4 does not currently have any angel enemies. This could hint at new future enemies being added to the game at some point.
