The Season of Witchcraft in *Diablo 4* introduces a plethora of new content, and to fully enjoy this latest update, players need to get their hands on a scarce resource: Fugitive Heads. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain Fugitive Heads in *Diablo 4* Season 7.
What Are Fugitive Heads in Diablo 4 Season 7?
In *Diablo 4* Season 7, the focus is on Witchcraft Powers, which enhance gameplay with a variety of unique abilities. However, these powers are not the only key to success. A new resource, Occult Gems, plays a crucial role by providing 160 Armor and 8% Resist All. The challenge lies in crafting these gems, which requires Fugitive Heads. Players can begin crafting Occult Gems once they collect a Fugitive Head and deliver it to Gelena at the Tree of Whispers. To continue crafting, players will need at least one Fugitive Head, 1,000 Restless Rot, and 50,000 Gem Fragments. Therefore, understanding how to acquire Fugitive Heads is essential for progressing in Season 7.

How To Find Fugitive Heads in Diablo 4 Season 7
To obtain Fugitive Heads, players must navigate to the Headhunt zones, a new feature in Season 7, and complete Whisper bounties. Upon completion, there's a chance an Uprooted Cocoon will spawn. However, this is just the beginning; breaking the Cocoon summons Headrotten Bosses, and defeating these bosses might reward you with a Fugitive Head, though it's a matter of luck.
Given the randomness involved, boosting the odds of encountering Fugitive Heads is vital. The Draught of Whispers Elixir, available from Exposed Roots, Whispers Cache, and Coven’s Cache, increases the chance of Fugitive Heads spawning by 50% and also enhances the likelihood of encountering Forgotten Altars.
Another critical factor is the game's difficulty setting. Fugitive Heads have a very low spawn rate on difficulties below Torment. Therefore, it's advisable for casual players to gradually acclimate to the Torment difficulty before embarking on their Headhunt. With Season 7 running until April, there's ample time to explore and gather Fugitive Heads at your own pace.
And that's how to get Fugitive Heads in *Diablo 4* Season 7. If you're interested in more challenges, check out our guide on how to solve and complete Poison in the Roots.
