Druid Spirit Boons Guide

Every class in Diablo 4 has a powerful, unique mechanic that contributes to its identity and the build-making process. For the Druid, it's called Spirit Boons, allowing you to choose one out of four passive bonuses from four different Spirits. Completely unlocking all Spirit Boons allows you to bond with a Spirit, allowing you to select two Boons from it.

Spirits

There are the four Spirits: Deer, Eagle, Snake, and Wolf.

Deer

The Deer Spirit focuses on utility, granting Thorns, additional maximum Spirit, Damage Reduction against Elites, or Movement Speed and Impairment Reduction.

Eagle

The Eagle Spirit adds a ton of offensive capability to your Druid by adding Critical Strike Chance, Attack Speed, or Critical Strike Damage. With additional Life as the final option, it can be hard to choose here.

Iron Feather

Swooping Attacks

Avian Wrath

Wolf

The Wolf Spirit starts with 2 Lucky Hit abilities that either reset Companion Cooldowns or grant Spirit when procced. The Fortify boost and extension of Ultimate Skills are situationally viable, as well.

Snake

The Snake Spirit doesn't trust humans. You have to unlock all its Boons at once. They add strong bonuses to specific build types, adding a guaranteed Overpower proc to Earth Skills, a static discharge procced by Lightning Skills, a Heal when Shapeshifting Skills Critical Strike, or a chance to reduce Ultimate Cooldowns when using a Nature Magic Skill.

Druidic Spirit Offerings

Once you reach level 15, monsters start dropping Druidic Spirit Offerings. They are used to unlock Boons at each of the Spirits in Túr Dúlra.

When you unlock the system you get 25 Druidic Spirit Offerings as a reward. There are 16 Boons to unlock which each cost 25 Offerings. In total, you need 400 to unlock all of them.

Note: You have to unlock all 4 Boons of the Snake Spirit at once, so you need to collect 100 Druidic Spirit Offerings to gain access to its Boons.

Unlocking the Spirit Boons

Once you reach level 15, you automatically start the Priority Quest "Spirits of the Lost Grove". This short questline is required to unlock the Spirit Boon feature. You have to clear out the Stronghold Túr Dúlra before you can start it.
