One of Diablo 4’s new ways to grow stronger is the Codex of Power. Druids and other classes use this system to gain a wealth of Legendary Aspects to affix to your equipment as you progress through Sanctuary. Many will unlock by completing dungeons throughout the game, while others are locked behind the main story. Normally you do not unlock this system until later in the game, but alts can skip the campaign and gain immediate access.
Some of the Legendary Aspects are generic - any class can equip them. That said, Druid has some truly phenomenal powers that build into virtually any playstyle. Whether you want to focus on Shapeshifting or nature damage, this will have you covered.
All Druid Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4’s Codex of Power
As you play Diablo 4, you’ll see a wide variety of dungeons throughout the map. You can see which Legendary Aspect they unlock by hovering over them or checking the in-game Codex of Power.
Several of these powers can be unlocked early in the game as you begin your story in the Fractured Peaks. This means you have access to Aspect of the Protector, Aspect of the Unsatiated, Nighthowler’s Aspect, and more.
If you’re looking for all of the Legendary Aspects in the Codex of Power, we have you covered. If you plan on choosing the Druid class in Diablo 4, here’s every power, where it is, and what it does for you.
