Characteristics

Daedra Hearts are the key ingredient used in crafting Daedric Armor and can also be used to create potions. They are relatively rare and quite valuable. However, several Alchemy shops can carry them and refresh stock every 48 hours. A few are found in the quests to obtain Daedric artifacts while others can be found in random apothecary satchels and on necromancers.

If the Dragonborn possesses the Sigil Stone, Daedra Hearts can be created by using the Atronach Forge in the Midden under the College of Winterhold by putting one human heart and a filled Black Soul Gem in the offering box, then using the pullbar to create a Daedra Heart. You can also find daedra hearts in Enthir's store located in the Hall of Attainment in the College of Winterhold.

Locations

Recurring

  • Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon, during Pieces of the Past. Four Dremora (two inside, two outside), each possessing one Daedra heart. The four Dremora respawn once each in-game week.
  • Nightcaller Temple, during Waking Nightmare. In the alchemy laboratory area, on the shelves amongst the other reagents.
  • Enthir, at the College of Winterhold, sells two at a time and will restock every two days. He must be approached first, and then met in his room on the second floor of the Hall of Attainment (first room on the left). The player will lose the option to barter with him if you fail to approach him before the College of Winterhold questline is completed. This issue will fix itself after the Thieves Guild questline is completed.
  • Jorrvaskr. In the room where Kodlak is found, on or near a plate on the desk.
    • Respawns at the beginning of each month.
    • Must be stolen, unless you have completed The Companions' questline.
      • If you are having trouble stealing it from under Kodlak's watchful eye, simply use the "grab" command to carry it to another room where it may be stolen undetected.
      • If you have completed The Companions' questline Kodlak will be dead. The Daedra Heart can be taken with no threat of detection.
    • A second Daedra Heart may sometimes be pickpocketed from Kodlak.
  • Hall of the Vigilant. On the table at the far end of the main room.
  • Sinderion's Field Laboratory in Blackreach. On a shelf to the left of the laboratory entrance.
  • In a random encounter, a thief who is caught bothering a child may drop one after being killed by city guards.

Random and Recurring

  • Any alchemist vendor may have up to two Daedra Hearts in stock as early as Character Level 4.
    • May also have on in their inventory, which may be pickpocketed.
  • Any Apothecary's Satchel in the game may contain one.
  • Any dead Dremora may drop one.
  • Any enemy spellcaster may drop one, but only rarely. The more powerful the spellcaster, the higher the chance (Needs confirmation).
  • Drelas' Cottage. One may sometimes be found in the containers.
  • One can be found on a dead alchemist in a random encounter.

Limited

One-time only.

  • During the quest Waking Nightmare, In the laboritory with three alchemy tables in which Erandur tells you to locate Vaermina's Torpor. There are four shelves in the right hand corner of the room. In which two hearts can be found.
  • During The Black Star, Malyn Varen summons three Dremora mages, each of which yields a heart.
  • In the unmarked quest Daedric Relic. If the player elects to kill Velehk Sain, he will drop a heart. If the player releases him, there will be one lying on the ground with his treasure.
  • Random encounter: A wandering traveller will say he's gathering supplies in hopes of sharing a new recipe with the Gourmet.
    • If the Dragonborn has completed the Dark Brotherhood quest To Kill An Empire, she can show him the Writ of Passage to receive a Daedra Heart.
    • If the quest has not been completed, the Dragonborn may obtain the Daedra Heart by murdering the traveller.
  • Narfi will give two or three random ingredients as rewards after you give him Reyda's necklace in the quest Locate Reyda's remains. There is a chance of obtaining a Daedra Heart from him.
    • There is also a chance that the remains of Reyda contain a Daedra Heart, which could result in gaining two Daedra Hearts from this quest.
