Hytale's early access launch has players diving into procedurally generated worlds filled with dangerous creatures and valuable loot. One of the most sought-after items is the Voidheart, an epic-rarity material essential for unlocking high-tier crafting. This guide covers everything you need to know about obtaining Voidheart, from the best farming spots to its uses.
What is Voidheart?
Voidheart is described as "the still-beating heart of a greater denizen of the Void. Not all creatures are born of the Void, yet even those taken and corrupted may bear this same shriveled heart." It appears as a purple, shriveled heart in your inventory.
Its primary use is upgrading the Armorer's Workbench to Tier 3 (or Tier 2 in some reports), which requires three Voidhearts. This upgrade enables crafting advanced gear and weapons made from Adamantite and Mithril ores. It is also used in recipes for Mithril weapons alongside materials like Storm Leather.
How to Obtain Voidheart
Voidheart is a rare drop from various Void enemies, also known as Void Spawn entities. These foes drop Essence of the Void more commonly, but Voidheart has a slim chance on defeat. No exact drop rates are confirmed, so expect to kill multiple enemies per Voidheart.
| Enemy | Description | Common Drop Locations |
|---|---|---|
| Void Eye | Flying enemy with black/green body and tentacles | Zone 3 icy biomes, nighttime |
| Void Spectre | Glowing skeletal/ghost-like foe | Zone 3+, rarer spawns |
| Void Spawn | Ground-based warriors and corrupted creatures | Anywhere at night |
| Other Void Creatures (e.g., Void Crawlers, Larva) | Smaller foes like skeletons or crawlers | Nighttime in higher zones |
Void Eye is the most reliable source for farming due to higher spawn rates in optimal areas.
Best Farming Locations
Void enemies spawn anywhere on the map but primarily at night. They are more common in higher zones (Zone 3+), especially:
- Zone 3 Icy Biomes: Flat, icy areas are prime for Void Eyes, often hovering above Void Crawlers. This is the top spot for efficient farming.
- Volcanic Biomes: Additional Void spawns in Zones 3+.
- Zones 5-6: For tougher Void bosses and enemies, but riskier for early players.
Dark, dense forests in any zone can also yield spawns.
Step-by-Step Farming Guide
- Gear Up: Equip mid-tier armor and weapons (Iron or better). Bring food, healing potions, and torches for night visibility.
- Travel to Zone 3: Head to icy biomes via exploration or world map.
- Wait for Night: Void enemies despawn at dawn, so time your hunts.
- Hunt Packs: Spot Void Eyes flying with Void Crawlers below. Prioritize Eyes for better odds.
- Repeat: Kill 10-20+ enemies per Voidheart. Loot Essence of the Void for other crafts.
- Upgrade Workbench: Return home with three Voidhearts to craft Tier 3 Armorer's Workbench.
Tips for Success
- Night Only: Avoid daytime hunts; spawns are negligible.
- Group Hunting: Play multiplayer to clear packs faster and share drops.
- Mob Grinding: Clear areas repeatedly as spawns refresh.
- Preparation: Void enemies hit hard; test gear on lower-zone mobs first.
- Patience: Rarity means grinding, but only three are needed initially.
