When you begin playing Diablo 4, everyone starts off with four health potions. However, they can be upgraded as you progress through the game, but only at specific times. You won’t have access to them immediately, and there are certain requirements you have to meet when attempting to unlock any health potion upgrade. Here’s what you need to know.

How To Unlock All Health Potion Upgrades in Diablo 4

When you begin playing Diablo 4, your starting health potion is the Weak Healing Potion. Every player receives it, and they can only use it four times. Now, almost every 10 levels there’s an option to purchase a better, higher-quality health potion. The first time this will happen is at level 10, and there are eight total upgrades for you to unlock over the course of your Diablo 4 playthrough.

The only way to upgrade your Health Potion is to visit an Alchemist. These NPCs typically appear in the larger towns in Diablo 4, and they have the mortal and pestle icons on the maps, making them easy to track down. Thankfully, there’s no required recipe to unlock when you want to upgrade a health potion. However, each upgrade comes with a level, gold, and material requirement that you need to meet to purchase it. It’s a permanent upgrade for that character, so this won’t need to be repeated.
