Want to know all of the Horadric Cube recipes in Diablo 2 Resurrected? You’d be forgiven for thinking that the Horadric Cube, a key item found in the main campaign, is only meant for combining two items together to make one key item. In fact, it’s far more useful than that, also acting as a tiny bit of extra storage.
Fans of the original Diablo 2 know just how game-breaking the Horadric Cube was. Since Diablo 2 Resurrected is a remastered version of the same game, we already know that barely anything will be changing. This means that not only are all the Diablo 2 Resurrected classes exactly the same as the original game but also every single combination of items you can chuck into the Horadric Cube will remain as it was.
Here is everything you need to know about the Diablo 2 Resurrected Horadric Cube: where to find this treasure in the first place, its extra use as storage, and all of the possible item combinations, including the new ones in the 2.4 update.
Where to find the Horadric Cube in Diablo 2 Resurrected
The Horadric Cube is found during Act 2 of Diablo 2, inside a chest at the end of Hall of the Dead Level 3. It is a key item that is found during the Diablo 2 campaign, so you can’t miss it, and can be used to combine the Staff of Kings and Amulet of the Viper into the Horadric Staff.
How to use the Horadric Cube
Firstly, you only need to place the items into the cube and press the button to combine them. You don’t need to place them in specific spots unless other items won’t fit into the cube. You can also use the Horadric Cube as extra bag space to store all the stuff that won’t fit in the regular inventory. It’s not a lot, but it’ll do in a pinch.
