If you have dreams of taking on higher world tiers, soloing dungeons, or surviving a hardcore run without dying in Diablo 4, then you are going to need some higher-quality healing potions.
While playing the prologue, make sure to pick up some Biteberry and Gallowvine while traveling from the small abandoned town of Nevesk to the Windswept Cabin, where you’ll find the hermit Lorath Nahr. After completing the prologue and reaching level 10, you can go visit Veroka the Alchemist in Kyovashad to learn about upgrading your health potions and make your first upgrade.

How to find materials needed for health potion upgrades in Diablo 4
Both Biteberry and Gallowvine are pretty prevalent around most of Fractured Peaks. If you spot a glowing bush in this region, it’s likely one of those two. Crushed Beast Bones can be found by killing and looting different creatures, although the odds of them dropping isn’t terrific.
