Daedra Heart is one of the alchemical ingredients used in Skyrim, the fifth installment of The Elder Scrolls series. Since Daedra are very powerful entities, their hearts are difficult to obtain, they are expensive and are not sold everywhere.
What is a Daedra Heart?
Daedra in the universe of The Elder Scrolls: skyrim are demonic entities that inhabit one of the planes of existence called Oblivion. Their hearts are a rare, powerful and expensive alchemical ingredient that can be used to make various potions: health restoration potions (when mixed with swamp pods, origma eggs, blue mountain flower, demonic mushroom, and other ingredients), magic damage potions (using glowing dust or sea acorns), potions of damage, regeneration of forces, and others.
Despite the fact that in the fifth game of the famous series called Skyrim, there is no permanent access to Oblivion, although it is difficult to find the hearts of a Daedra, it is possible. There are several places where you can get them, and some traders and alchemists sell this alchemical ingredient for those with sufficient knowledge of alchemy. Daedra Heart is not a unique ingredient in alchemy, it can be replaced with other substances that have the same effect.
If the character eats the heart of a Daedra raw, and not as part of potions, then with high alchemy skills, it is possible to obtain a magical effect or even several.
The heart of a Daedra can be used not only in alchemy, but also in blacksmithing to make Daedric armor and weapons. For each item - sword, shield, helmet, armor, gloves - one heart is needed. You will also need ebony ingots and leather strips. You can create such armor both in a regular forge and in the legendary Forge of Atronach.
Where can I get the heart of a Daedra?
Passing the quest "Shards of Past Glory" in Skyrim, during which you need to collect the shards of Mehrun's Razor, the character enters the Sanctuary of Mehrun Dagon, where he will have to face several Daedra and kill them. There are four demons in total, so you can get four hearts at a time.
After completing the quest in this location, the premises are updated every ten days, including new demons, so you can periodically visit this place to get four hearts again.
According to the assignment "Star of Azura", you can find three Daedra hearts: during the passage, the character finds a unique soul stone, gets inside it and fights with three powerful fire magicians, who turn out to be demonic entities. After defeating the Daedra, it will be possible to take hearts from them.
This ingredient does not need to be obtained on the battlefield, especially if you prefer to develop skills such as trade or eloquence rather than combat magic and weaponry. Daedra Hearts are sold by a member of the College of Winterhold Entyr, owner of an alchemy shop in Whiterun Arcadia (only after you have completed the task of delivering frosty salt), and sometimes hearts are sold from other alchemists if you have a level of alchemy above 25.
Daedra Heart can be found in certain locations or stolen. For example, this ingredient is found in the Jorrvaskr building in Whiterun, in Kodlak's room, in the Watch room near Dawnstar, in the laboratory in the Black Reach, in the House of Warm Winds (available only after level 30), in the Evergreen Grove in the body of an alchemist (it may not be if your level is low), at Castle Gloom in Solitude.
