Diablo 4 Season 3: How to Get Elemental Cores

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on how to get more Elemental Cores in Diablo 4 Season 3. Each new season brings a ton of new mechanics to the game, each of which can include many different items and resources, and understanding how everything works together can be tiresome and overwhelming at times. Elemental Cores are an important resource in Season of the Construct, which will be your stepping stone in interacting with most of the brand new mechanics of the season. In this article, we are going to explain what these Elemental Cores can be used for, as well as where you can get more of them in Diablo 4 Season 3.

What Are Elemental Cores in Diablo 4?

Elemental Cores are a resource in Season of the Construct that is used to summon Heralds of Malphas during Arcane Tremors in the open world. You will be able to find different types of Braziers scattered across the zones that are under the influence of Arcane Tremors, and you are going to need 3 Elemental Cores and 50 Shattered Stones in order to summon a Herald mini-boss.

Summoning Heralds of Malphas allows you to complete Whispers of the Dead favors, while also rewarding you with Pearls of Warding that you can use in the new Vault Dungeons. This makes Elemental Cores a valuable resource that you will need to farm in Season 3 if you want to experience all of the new endgame activities.

How to Get More Elemental Cores in Diablo 4

In order to get more Elemental Cores in Diablo 4, you are going to need to travel to an active Arcane Tremor. You can spot these zones on the map by the little green leaf, indicating that it is part of the new seasonal mechanics. After traveling to a zone with an Arcane Tremor, you will notice some Obelisks on the map. These Obelisks are going to be your ticket to an abundance of Elemental Cores.

Obelisks are small structures in the open world that launch different projectiles around them, damaging and pushing back the player. They are interactable, and if you manage to reach them and click them, they will reward you with an Elemental Core. There seems to be a cooldown between each time you can interact with the same Obelisk, so we recommend moving between them. 

That is everything you need to know about Elemental Cores in Diablo 4 Season 3 and how to find them. Farming a few of these resources is going to allow you to summon a lot more Heralds of Malphas, making any future attempts in the Vaults a lot more managable.
