Along with understanding the weapon and armor system, Diablo 4 players will want to make sure they have a handle on everything they need to upgrade and enchant that equipment. One of the many upgrade materials that can be collected in Diablo 4 is called Fiend Roses, and this rare plant can be hard to find. But with how useful it is in this isometric action RPG, players will want to get as much of it as quickly as possible.
Updated June 2, 2023, by Mina Smith: With all the new information pouring in after Diablo 4's release, this article needed a handful of updates. In order to ensure everything was up-to-date, some small changes needed to be made about Helltides and the location of Fiend Roses.
What are Fiend Roses in Diablo 4?
As part of the end-game grind in Diablo 4, players will need to be able to alter the affixes on their weapons, armor, and other equipment. If a near-perfect item has a useless affix on it, players can swap it out through the Enchant Item system. In order to enchant an item, they will need the item in question and one Fiend Rose to select the affix to swap out.
There are a handful of places to get this rare plant, but which is the best? Now that Diablo 4 has been released, they may be looking to learn the best farming method for Fiend Roses.
Where to Find Fiend Roses in Diablo 4
While players can technically find Fiend Roses in chests and while battling powerful PvE enemies, the best place to farm them will be in Helltide events. Helltides will only occur when players reach World Tier Level 3 or higher in Diablo 4, meaning they must be level 50 or higher.
These end-game environment-altering events will change the whole landscape of Sanctuary, sprouting more challenging enemies and giving players access to different kinds of collectibles and currency. Not only will the landscape look different and be far more dangerous, but the plants will be tainted by Helltide, allowing the toxic Fiend Roses to bloom. These elusive Roses will grow in the hellish terrain of Helltides and can be farmed like any other plant in Diablo 4.
However, if they are lucky, players can randomly stumble on a Fiend Rose or two. These roses can rarely be found in Silent Chests that can only be opened with Whispering Keys. They can occasionally drop in dungeons or in world bosses too. The higher the world tier a player is on, the higher the chance that a random Fiend Rose will drop from challenging battles.
Diablo 4 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
