If you want to survive the deadly wilds of Blizzard Entertainment’s latest role-playing game, you’ll need every upgrade available.
Part of succeeding inDiablo 4is through your healing potion, which can be used to recharge your character’s health and push you through otherwise impossible fights. Your healing potion doesn’t scale with your character though, so as you gain new levels and equip powerful new weapons and armor, you’ll find that you’re not recovering a proportional amount of health anymore. That’s where upgrading your healing potion comes in.
Depending on whichDiablo 4 classyou’re playing as, you’ll have some different options for healing or protecting yourself otherwise, but it never hurts to have an effective healing potion at the ready. I’ve gathered everything you need to know in this guide.
How to upgrade your healing potion
Fortunately, upgrading your healing potion in Diablo 4 is super easy! All you need to do is track down an alchemist in a large city. They’re marked on the minimap with a mortar and pestle symbol, so they’re pretty hard to miss. You can find an alchemist extremely early on in the game, once you reach Kyovashad in the Fractured Peaks.
What you need for each upgrade
Below, I’ve listed the materials you’ll need for each upgrade of your healing potion, as well as what that upgrade entails and the level you have to hit before upgrade is unlocked.Early on, you’ll find many of the necessary materials simply by exploring the open world and making sure to gather berries and herbs from any plants you see. Later on, however, the material requirements skyrocket, and you’ll have to find some extremely rare ingredients through careful exploration of far more dangerous territory.
If you want to keep track of what resources you have and which ones you still need to gather, you can check your character’s material inventory. Open thecharacter screen, then select selectStats and Materials. Here, you can browse all the stuff you’ve picked up that aren’t a part of the weapons and armor you’ll be collecting, scrapping, and upgrading.

Keep on pushing and before you know it, you’ll have your healing potion fully upgraded, helping your chosen class to take on whatever challenges await. It’s not the only thing you’ll need to, but it’s a component that simply can’t be ignored for long without your combat performance taking a big hit.

In ourreview of Diablo 4, managing editor Jez Corden wrote that “Immaculate storytelling meets stunning art, polished, bug-free gameplay, atop endlessly customizable combat with the promise of dozens, maybe hundreds of hours of content — Diablo 4 might be Blizzard’s most important, pivotal game since World of Warcraft. Do yourself a favor and go in completely blind. Even if you’re not a typical fan of isometric action RPGs, I’m confident that you won’t be disappointed.”
