Unlocking the Mythic Heir of Perdition Unique Helm

If you’re interested in finding and using the Heir of Perdition in Diablo 4, this guide will help you out. The Heir of Perdition is an Ancestral Mythic Unique item introduced in Season Six of Diablo 4. This helmet is versatile and can be equipped by any character class, making it a valuable addition regardless of your build. It comes with a special ability and some base enhancements for your stats.

Finding unique items like the Heir of Perdition can be quite challenging in Diablo 4 due to their rarity. However, knowing which bosses to target can significantly improve your chances of acquiring this helmet. Participating in other endgame activities such as The Pit of the Artificer can also facilitate obtaining the Heir of Perdition.

How to Obtain the Heir of Perdition Mythic Unique Helmet

Best Methods for Acquiring the Helmet: Boss Drops and Crafting

There are two primary methods to obtain the Heir of Perdition in Diablo 4. The first is as a loot drop. Certain bosses have a chance to drop this unique item, and the odds improve when playing at the highest Torment difficulty level. Additionally, using a Seething Opal equipment elixir can enhance the drop rate for Unique items. The following bosses can drop the Heir of Perdition:

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

The second method to obtain the Heir of Perdition is through crafting. You can attempt to craft this helmet by creating a random Mythic item at the Blacksmith, although this approach is risky since it consumes two Resplendent Sparks without a guaranteed result. Alternatively, you can create the Heir of Perdition using two Resplendent Sparks along with six Jah Runes, six Que Runes, and six Gar Runes at the Jewelcrafter. Gathering these materials might take longer than acquiring the helmet as a drop, but crafting guarantees you will get the item.

Understanding the Unique Effect of the Heir of Perdition

The Helmet Enhances Damage with Conditions

Equipping the Heir of Perdition instantly triggers its unique effect, granting you a stack of Mother’s Favor. For each stack, you inflict an additional 60% damage on enemies. Stacks can only be obtained by stealing them from other players when you outpace them in defeating nearby enemies. Beware, though—you can also lose stacks to them if they surpass your performance.

Beyond its unique effect, the Heir of Perdition also provides a buff, allowing you to deal 200% more damage to angels and demons. Interestingly, as of now, Diablo 4 lacks angel enemies, which may suggest that new enemy types could be introduced in future updates.
