Build your Druid up in Diablo 4
Looking for all of the Druid Codex of Power locations? Building your Diablo 4 Druid up to its maximum potential involves utilizing Aspects. They are a core component of the game, as they allow you to imprint a particular effect onto a piece of your gear following an appropriate interaction with a glowing Aspect source.
For example, if you’re wearing a pair of boots with a bonus movement speed increase, you can grant your character the lightweight Aspect by approaching within range of an Aspect source and interacting with it.
The great thing about Aspects is that using them allows you to imprint the effect onto a piece of your gear, greatly increasing your strength in comparison to other characters without the same buffs. Acquiring as many Aspects as possible is invaluable. This guide will show you all Druid Aspects found in their Codex of Power and what they do.
Diablo 4 Druid Aspects list
The first zone, The Fractured Peaks, consists entirely of outdoor areas that are densely packed with gruesome monsters. Several handy Aspects can be found here, including Protector, Unsatiated, and Nighthowler’s, which causes enemies to emit an aura of fear upon death, slowing the movement of other enemies around them.
Scosglen is a fantastic zone for Druids thanks largely to the abundance of monster types present. Ghostwalker is one of the best Defensive Aspects in the game, guiding the user’s Tricks of the Trade to fire back if they inflict a critical strike, inflicting increased damage in return. Crashstone is a powerful Offensive Aspect, as it grants the user access to Caged Fury, guaranteeing a critical strike whenever they are hit by an enemy. Coupled with Edgemaster, which grants a % damage bonus based on the user's max Swing Points total, this is a top-tier Aspect.
Some Dungeons require clearing specific Strongholds to grant you access to entire sections of the corresponding Diablo 4 map. Any Stronghold Dungeon within a zone is typically compulsory to complete, although it’s worth noting that skipping any of these Dungeons often cuts off several progression pathways in the region. Meditation Stone is an excellent Defensive Aspect that you can find hidden inside the dry riverbed within the Dry Steppes. It causes every successful melee hit to grant an absorbed shield bonus.
Likewise, Umbral is an excellent Offensive Aspect granted by the first dungeon of this region. Head into the Dark Ravine and descend into the depths of the earth to find it hidden inside a small cave section filled with rather powerful enemies, including deadly earth elementals. In contrast, the Buried Halls include Rapid, a superb Offensive Aspect that causes your melee attacks to increase your Swing Points.
Hawezar is the fourth zone and is arguably the most important region in Diablo 4 at that stage of the game. This area contains key Aspects for building your Pulverize Diablo 4 Druid build, as well as key Aspects for the Rampaging Werebeast Druid set. The most significant locations to consider when hunting these down are the Ursine Horror and Baleful Mire Strongholds.
As far as dungeons are concerned, you’ll want to hit Kehjistan as it’s arguably the best region for experience and Aspects, including some of the rarest you can find along your adventure. Coupled with that, Disobedience, likewise exclusive to Kehjistan, grants a chance for melee attacks to apply shock, with this shock inflicting additional damage and a slow effect on nearby enemies with a chance of immobilizing them. Likewise, the near-legendary Retribution Aspect can only be found within Kehjistan, forcing you to dive into the city’s Amihud Al-Zahrah palace. This dungeon is tough but the Aspect is well worth the effort.
Beyond the Conclave region is Yshari Sanctum, a multi-tiered dungeon filled with rapid elevation changes and areas flooded with water. Two key Aspects to consider while collecting this location’s Immobilized Aspect are Needleflare and Wind Striker. Needleflare causes your Tricks of the Trade to fire off a series of rapidly expanding shots that can hit multiple enemies, while Wind Striker grants you a chance to recover swing points whenever you hit an enemy at their maximum swing point barrier, granting you a brief respite mid-combo.
Another Aspect found within the same dungeon is Immobilized, which can be found deep within the underground passageway filled with churning water. Finally, the Collapsed Vault and Conclave are worth mentioning as these two large areas are frequently reused in various forms for numerous different dungeons. Their Aspect drops.
