Diablo 4 Herald's Morningstar: Our tips to get it
In brief
The Herald's Morningstar is a powerful unique weapon for Paladins in Diablo 4, particularly effective with the Blessed Hammer build. Find out how to obtain it by facing Duriel and explore its impressive stats that multiply your damage.
The Herald's Morningstar is one of the unique weapons sought after by Paladins in Diablo 4. It's a piece of equipment that is quite interesting for those looking to build around Blessed Hammer. The Herald's Morningstar is relatively easy to find compared to some legendary items. Let's see how to get this powerful weapon, but also what makes it so appealing for Paladins!

How to get the Herald's Morningstar
To get your hands on the Herald's Morningstar, you need to defeat Duriel inside the Gaping Crevasse, located in the Gea Kul region. This dreadful boss shares his loot pool with Andariel and the Harbinger of Hatred, who are therefore just as likely to drop this unique weapon, although Duriel remains the least random source.
You will need to fight Duriel on Torment 1 minimum, but to access his treasure, you will need three Agony Fragments, a traditional item that can only be collected from Varshan near the Tree of Whispers, or from Grigoire south of Ked Bardu.
Belial can alternatively let you obtain items from any stronghold boss loot pool, which makes him an interesting alternative. Also consider picking up unique items by looting Helltide chests, Nightmare Dungeons, and, perhaps more randomly, by carrying out expeditions into the Kurast Undercity, where the Herald's Morningstar can potentially be found.

Effects and Stats of the Herald's Morningstar
The Herald's Morningstar is a unique mace that stacks attributes to make your Blessed Hammer skill shine even more by multiplying the damage it deals.
This weapon offers several welcome attributes to make this character shine:
- Strength bonus
- Increased Maximum Life

- Additional ranks to Blessed Hammer
Note
The Herald's Morningstar only generates base Blessed Hammers on Lucky Hit, and does not produce the upgraded versions of this skill. This does not take away from its terrifying effectiveness!
