In Diablo 4, players can expect each of the five classes to showcase a distinct mechanic, which unlocks at a specific level. For Sorcerers, they are granted passive buffs, while Necromancers gain more control over their minions. Rogues can specialize, and Barbarians can gain expertise in four equippable weapon slots. As for the Druid class, they are presented with the Spirit Boons system, which allows them to choose from enhancements themed after four Spirits that demand Offerings. To access this system, players must complete a short quest and collect Offerings to unlock all choices. Essentially, Druids are given an extra set of passives to choose from, courtesy of the Spirit Boons system.
How To Unlock Druid Spirit Boons in Diablo 4
To unlock the Druid's Spirit Boons system at level 15, players must complete a unique class quest called "Spirits of the Lost Grove" which takes place in Scosglen. After defeating the stronghold's final boss, Baelgemoth, players can find a druid named Ardeth among the returning townsfolk who will direct them to free the trapped spirit of the Spirit Lord. The Spirit Lord can be located at a marked location in Scosglen, and players can easily navigate there by right-clicking the location. Upon arrival, the Spirit Lord requests that players retrieve its skull and return it to Túr Dulra. Don't worry about enemy levels as the area should scale accordingly.
Head to The Abandoned Grove by marking it on your map and following the guide on your minimap. Gather the Spirit Lord's skull from the Goatmen residing in the Grove. Once obtained, bring the skull back to Ardeth in Túr Dulra to successfully finish the Druid class questline and gain entry to Spirit Boons.
Druid Sprit Boons Overview: What They Do, & How To Use Them
Once players reach Level 15 in Diablo 4, they have the opportunity to obtain Druid Spirit Offerings from monsters across the Sanctuary. These offerings are not limited to specific enemies, meaning players can farm them simply by defeating any monster they come across. The best part is that the Spirit Offerings will remain in the inventory even if the system for Spirit Boons has not yet been unlocked. Therefore, there is no reason to leave them behind and players should pick them up whenever possible.
Players have the option to offer up to four Spirits in Tur Dulra, namely the Deer, the Wolf, the Snake, and the Eagle. Each Spirit has a unique set of four passives that can be unlocked by making Offerings. The more Offerings given, the more passives become available, except for the Snake, which requires 100 Spirit Offerings upfront. Druids can choose one passive from each Spirit, totaling to four, and can unlock an additional one by obtaining all 16 Spirit Boons, bringing the total to five. To unlock new passives, Offerings must be given to each Spirit, with a new one unlocking every 25 Offerings given. A total of 400 Spirit Offerings are needed to unlock all passives and the fifth equippable skill slot. Although it may seem like a large requirement, the Offerings tend to drop in large clusters, making it possible for most players to fully unlock the system by Level 30 or 40.
