Diablo 2 - Horadric Cube location: How to use the Horadric Cube and recipes list explained

You solved the box, we came.


The Horadric Cube is one of the key items you'll find in Diablo 2.


As part of the quest The Horadric Staff in Act II, the Horadric Cube is part of the items you need to collect, alongside the Shaft and the Headpiece. Unlocking it is a mere step towards understanding how it works, but thankfully, we can help.


This page explains how to use the Horadric Cube in Diablo 2 as well as the Horadric Cube recipes so you can start planning beforehand.

How to unlock the Horadric Cube in Diablo 2

The Horadric Cube can be unlocked in Act II, so don't worry about having to rush things in Act I while you're out there looking for the Underground Passage or Monastery Locations.


For this, you first need to get to the bottom of the sewers beneath the city. On the last floor you'll find the Horadric Scroll inside a chest. Picking it up unlocks the quest The Horadric Staff. Deckard Cain will be delighted to let you know more about it.


The quest involves searching for three key items, but we'll be focusing on the cube for this guide. For this, you'll have to exit the city and explore the area until you find a path to The Dry Hills.


Somewhere in The Dry Hills lies the entrance to The Halls of the Dead, which is where the Horadric Cube is being guarded. Sadly, map layouts in Diablo 2 are randomly generated, which is why we can't show you the exact location.


That being said, as long as you don't leave the area, you're bound to bump into it soon enough. If you step into the Far Oasis, go back and continue exploring. In our experience, the entrance was right after a stairway that led us to a lower ground.


The Halls of the Dead has three floors packed with enemies and traps, so thread carefully. Make your way down below whenever possible, and make sure to grab the waypoint in the second floor, which is always nice to have.


After you've found the entrance to the third floor, prepare for a big fight in the main room.


Take all enemies down and loot everything. Then, when ready, open the chest.

Make sure to have at least four free slots for the Horadric Cube in your inventory. If you don't, use a town scroll and either sell or save gear in your stash for the time being to pick it up. Now, let's see how it works.

How to use the Horadric Cube in Diablo 2

Using the Horadric Cube is fairly simple. You can interact and open it with right click or whichever button you use to equip gear. This can be done both from your inventory or your stash, in case you don't want to carry it around.

The purpose of the cube is to transmutate items if you provide it with the right item combinations. It doesn't matter where you place them inside the cube, mind you, as long as they're together.


It can contain up to 12 slots of items - if you'd like, you can also keep items stored inside the cube itself. Now, let's see those recipes.
