Unleash the Power: Unlock Werewolf Companions as a Druid in Diablo 4

In Diablo 4, being a Druid and running alongside a pack of untamed animals has a delightful appeal. These animal companions not only possess remarkable combat prowess but also possess the power to enhance the Druid's own fighting abilities. Consequently, numerous different builds have emerged that revolve around the synergies between specific skills and companion powers.

One exceptional build focuses on transforming the typical wolf companion into a fully-fledged werewolf, catering to players who yearn for the experience of being a beastmaster within the realm of Diablo 4. However, obtaining the necessary Legendary Aspect to make this build possible can prove to be challenging.

Diablo 4: How to Get the Aspect of the Alpha

The Alpha Aspect transforms regular Wolf companions into powerful Werewolves, enhancing their damage output and granting them the ability to inflict Rabies. Rabies acts as a Poison Damage over Time effect that can be transmitted between enemies. Unfortunately, unlocking the Alpha Aspect cannot be accomplished through the Codex of Power; players must rely on obtaining lucky drops of legendary items.

As an Offensive Aspect, the Alpha Aspect can be found on gloves, amulets, rings, and weapons (including off-hand Totems). One of the most efficient methods for acquiring Aspects is to participate in Nightmare Dungeons, as they offer a significantly high probability of obtaining legendary items upon completion.

When farming for legendary gear, it is advisable for players to actively engage in Helltides. In each region, there are Tortured Gifts of Mysteries chests that ensure the drop of legendary items. To access these chests, players need to pay 175 Aberrant Cinders, and it is important to note that a restricted number of these chests appear during each Helltide.

Alternatively, players have the option to try their luck at the Purveyors of Curiosities located in major towns by gambling their Murmuring Obols. Although the chances of obtaining legendary items here are relatively high, it is not a guaranteed outcome.

Here are some complementary Aspects that pair well with this one:

Shepherd's Aspect — Core Skills deal more damage per active companion

Nighthowler's Aspect — Blood Howl affects companions

Aspect of the Stampede — Gain an additional companion
