Daedra Heart is an ingredient in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It can be used to make potions at an alchemy lab as part of alchemy.

Locations[]

A few are found in quests to obtain Daedric artifacts, while others can be found in random apothecary satchels and on necromancers. They can also be obtained as loot by killing Daedra.

Recurring[]

Random and recurring[]

  • Hunters may very rarely carry one.
  • Thalmor Wizards may very rarely carry one.
  • Alchemy shops may have up to two Daedra hearts in stock as early as character Level 2, though they are quite rare.
    • May also have one in their personal inventory, which may be pickpocketed.
  • Any apothecary's satchels in the game may contain one, though very rare.
  • Encountered Dremora always drop one.

  • Vigilants of Stendarr may drop one, though it is rare.
