Many Diablo 2: Resurrected fans know just how game-breaking the Horadric Cube was. It is a kind of magic box that will allow players to merge different elements to turn them into some better D2R Items. In fact, it’s far more useful and also a tiny bit of extra storage. But it is likely that once you have it, you will not know exactly how to use it, especially due to the large number of formulas that you could be able to unleash. So in this guide, here is everything you need to know about the Diablo 2 Resurrected Horadric Cube.

The Horadric Cube is found during Act 2 of D2R, inside a chest at the end of Hall of the Dead Level 3. Once you have it, you can use the “staff of kings” with “the amulet of the viper” to obtain the Horadric staff. It is a key item found during the Diablo 2 Resurrected campaign, so you can’t miss it.

With the fundamentals out of the way, let’s get into the specifics of what you can do with the Horadric Cube. You can use the Horadric Cube’s magical powers to Transmute items into new items. Simply place the items into the cube and click the Transmute button.
