Blizzard EntertainmentThe Horadric Cube in Diablo 2 Resurrected lets players combine items via recipes to create different outcomes such as transmogs. Here’s a full list of all the new and old Horadric Cube recipes, along with the location needed to find it.
The Horadric Cube may be an essential quest item in Diablo 2 Resurrected, but finding it can be quite tricky if you don’t know exactly where to look. Once you’ve located it during the main story quest, the Horadric Cube can upgrade items, runes, and gems to help you dominate Diablo’s hordes.
Its handiness doesn’t stop there, though, providing 12 extra inventory spaces while only taking up four slots, meaning you can stock up on more items without needing to make frequent stops as you explore the game’s narrative.
