What Are Baneful Hearts In Diablo 4 And How To Get Them?

With the start of Season 4, you will find everyone hunting to get Baneful Hearts in Diablo 4. This is a very important item that you will need if you wish to summon Blood Maiden. As for why you would want to fight her is because she drops some of the best loot in the game. But considering these hearts are so valuable it is only natural that you won’t find them easily. So here is a quick guide on what you can do to find Baneful Hearts in D4.

How to Farm Baneful Hearts in Diablo 4

The best way to get guaranteed drop is by defeating Hellborne enemies. You get to fight them after you become HellMarked. Getting HellMarked and hunting for Baneful Hearts sort of goes hand-in-hand. The two ways through which you get them are:

• Defeat Hellborne enemies: For a Hellborne enemy to spawn you need to get HellMarked which you do by raising your Threat levels. To keep it simple, find any Helltide event and start killing monsters there. The more your threat level is the more monsters it spawns and the harder it gets to survive so you will have to move around a lot and take note of your abilities and their cooldown.
• Open Tortured Gift chests: This is the second best way to get Baneful Hearts. You need Aberrant Cinders which you get by defeating mobs of enemies. Open these chests and you can occasionally find a Baneful heart from one of them.

Check the top right side next to the minimap to see how many Baneful Hearts you have. It is above the Threat level meter and next to the Aberrant Cinder symbol.

How to Use Baneful Hearts

Once you collect 3 Baneful Hearts you can place them at Accursed Altars.

1. Open the map and look for a devil icon with broken left horn.
2. Go there and look for a sigil made between 3 rocks and 3 headless bodies.
3. After all 3 Baneful Hearts are used the Blood Maiden spawns which you can fight for rewards.

The good news is you can play with others and don’t have to hunt for all 3 hearts on your own. Make sure you use at least 1 to get good rewards from her fight.

That is everything you need to do to get Baneful hearts in Diablo 4 and how to use it. You should check out our guide on how to zoom out more. This can be very useful as you will be able to see all the drops and won’t miss out on collecting anything.
