Voidheart is one of the rarest and most valuable materials in Hytale—a glowing treasure infused with void magic that’s essential for crafting Mithril gear, the strongest equipment tier in the game. If you’re serious about endgame progression, you’ll need Voidhearts to upgrade your weapons and armor to their maximum potential.
The catch? Voidhearts only drop from Void creatures that spawn at night, and the drop rate is brutally low. You’ll need to brave the darkness, fight waves of shadowy enemies, and grind for hours to collect even a handful of these precious items.
Let me show you exactly where to farm Voidhearts, which enemies to target, and the best strategies to maximize your drop rates.
What Are Void Creatures?
Void creatures are nighttime-only enemies infused with void energy. They glow with eerie, unnatural light, making them easy to spot in the darkness. These monsters are significantly stronger than regular enemies, so don’t attempt to farm them unless you’re properly geared.
Types of Void Creatures
Void Eyes ⭐ (Best for Farming)
- Appearance: Flying tentacle blobs with glowing eyes
- Difficulty: Easiest Void enemy to kill
- Drops: Voidheart (low chance), Essence of the Void (common)
- Why they’re best: Fastest kill speed + highest Voidheart drop rate among Void enemies
Void Spectres
- Appearance: Ghostly skeletons with glowing eyes
- Difficulty: Medium
- Drops: Voidheart (very low chance), Essence of the Void
Void Spawns
- Appearance: Large warrior-type enemies wielding swords
- Difficulty: Hardest Void enemy
- Drops: Voidheart (low chance), Essence of the Void, possibly better loot
Ground Void Bugs
- Appearance: Small, crawling insect-like creatures
- Difficulty: Easy to moderate
- Drops: Voidheart (very low chance)
Which Void Enemy Should You Farm?
Focus on Void Eyes. They die the fastest, spawn in large numbers, and have the best Voidheart drop rate. While Void Spawns can drop Voidhearts, they take significantly longer to kill, making them inefficient for grinding.
Best Location to Farm Voidhearts: Zone 3 Icy Biomes
The absolute best place to farm Voidhearts is Zone 3’s flat icy biomes—the same frozen regions where you’d farm Ice or Darkwood from Cedar trees.
Why Zone 3 Icy Biomes Are Best
- Flat, open terrain makes spotting and chasing Void Eyes easy
- High spawn rates for Void Eyes specifically
- Fewer obstacles (no dense forests or mountains blocking vision)
- Easy navigation at night without getting lost
How to Find Zone 3 Icy Biomes
- Open your in-game map
- Look for blue-white areas (snow biomes)
- Travel to the flattest sections (avoid mountains)
- Set up a base camp with a bed/teleporter for quick respawns
Alternative Farming Locations
If you want variety or are already exploring other zones, Void creatures also spawn at night in:
Everglade Wilds Swamps (Zone 2)
- More enemies overall, but harder terrain to navigate
Desert Dunes (Zone 2-3)
- Good visibility, but fewer Void Eyes than icy biomes
Volcanic Islands (Zones 5-6)
- High danger, but if you’re farming Adamantite anyway, you can multitask
Bottom line: Zone 3 icy flats are still the most efficient for dedicated Voidheart farming.
How to Farm Voidhearts Efficiently
Voidheart farming is a grind. The drop rate is abysmal—expect to kill 20-50+ Void Eyes per Voidheart drop. Here’s how to maximize your efficiency:
Step-by-Step Farming Strategy
- Gear up properly (see gear recommendations below)
- Travel to Zone 3 icy biomes
- Set up a night farm base:
- Place a bed or teleporter for respawns
- Build a small shelter with storage chests
- Stock it with food, potions, and backup weapons
- Wait for nighttime (or skip to night if you have a bed)
- Roam the open fields looking for glowing eyes
- Kill Void Eyes in groups (they often spawn in clusters)
- Collect all drops immediately (Voidhearts are easy to miss in the dark)
- Repeat until dawn, then either:
- Sleep to skip daytime and restart farming
- Use daylight to resupply and repair gear
Pro Tips for Faster Farming
Bring a Bow for Ranged Kills Void Eyes fly, making melee combat awkward. A bow lets you snipe them from a distance before they scatter.
Use Torches Strategically Place torches around your farming area to:
- Improve visibility
- Mark your base location
- Prevent other hostile mobs from spawning nearby
Farm with Friends If you’re playing with friends, split up and cover more ground. Whoever gets a Voidheart drop can share it, drastically reducing grind time.
Build a Farming Circuit Instead of wandering randomly, create a path through the icy biome and patrol it repeatedly. This ensures you’re covering maximum spawn area efficiently.
Skip Daytime If you didn’t farm enough Voidhearts in one night, sleep to skip the day and immediately continue farming. Daytime is wasted time for Voidheart grinding.
Essential Gear for Voidheart Farming
Void creatures hit hard. Don’t attempt this in low-tier gear—you’ll die repeatedly and waste time respawning.
Minimum Gear
- Iron armor (full set)
- Iron weapons (sword or bow)
- 10+ healing items (food or potions)
- Torches (for visibility)
- Backup weapon (in case your primary breaks)
Recommended Gear
- Thorium or Cobalt armor
- Enchanted or upgraded weapons
- Bow with plenty of arrows
- Health and stamina potions
- Repair Kits or backup tools
Ideal Gear (If You Have It)
- Adamantite armor (if you’ve already farmed volcanic islands)
- Magic abilities (if you’ve unlocked Mana usage)
- Food buffs for extra defense or attack
Don’t farm Voidhearts undergeared—it’s not worth the frustration.
What You Need Voidhearts For
1. Upgrade the Armorer’s Workbench to Tier 2 and Tier 3
You need at least 3 Voidhearts to upgrade your Armorer’s Workbench to higher tiers. This unlocks:
- Adamantite armor crafting (Tier 2)
- Mithril armor crafting (Tier 3)
These are the best armor sets in the game, making Voidheart farming essential for endgame progression.
2. Craft Mithril Weapons
Mithril weapons are the strongest in Hytale. For example, a Mithril Sword requires:
- Mithril Ingots x6
- Storm Leather x3
- Voidheart x1
Every top-tier weapon and armor piece needs Voidhearts, so you’ll need to farm multiple hearts to fully gear yourself.
3. Other High-Tier Crafting
Voidhearts are likely used in other endgame recipes, such as:
- Magical tools or artifacts
- Advanced enchantments
- High-tier building materials
Since Voidhearts are epic rarity, expect them to be a key ingredient in many late-game crafting recipes.
How Many Voidhearts Do You Need?
Bare minimum: 3-5 Voidhearts (for workbench upgrades + one Mithril item)
Realistic goal: 10-15 Voidhearts (to craft a full Mithril weapon set and armor)
Completionist: 20+ Voidhearts (for backup gear, experimentation, and future updates)
Given the low drop rate (1 Voidheart per 20-50 kills), plan for several hours of farming to reach your goal.
Quick Tips for Voidheart Farming
- Farm only Void Eyes – They’re the fastest kills with the best drop rate
- Zone 3 icy biomes are best – Flat terrain + high spawn rates
- Skip daytime – Sleep to restart farming immediately
- Use a bow – Void Eyes fly; ranged combat is easier
- Bring backup gear – Weapons break, and you’ll be fighting for hours
- Farm with friends – Splits the grind significantly
- Mark your base – It’s easy to get lost in the dark
- Check every drop – Voidhearts glow but are easy to miss in the chaos
Testing Void Combat in Creative Mode
If you want to practice fighting Void creatures before committing to a farming session, use Creative Mode console commands:
/time set 0
/spawn Void_EyeThis lets you test combat strategies and learn Void Eye attack patterns safely.
FAQs About Voidheart in Hytale
Where do Void creatures spawn?
Void creatures spawn at night in all biomes, but Zone 3 icy biomes have the highest concentration of Void Eyes, making them the best farming location.
What’s the drop rate for Voidhearts?
It’s extremely low—expect 1 Voidheart per 20-50 Void Eye kills. Voidheart is an epic rarity item, so RNG (random number generation) plays a huge role. Some players get lucky and find multiple hearts in one night; others grind for hours with nothing.
Can I farm Voidhearts during the day?
No. Void creatures only spawn at night. If you try farming during the day, you’ll find nothing. Use a bed to skip daytime and maximize your farming efficiency.
What’s the easiest Void enemy to kill for Voidhearts?
Void Eyes are by far the easiest. They die quickly, spawn in groups, and have the highest Voidheart drop rate among Void creatures. Ignore Void Spawns and Spectres unless you’re confident you can kill them efficiently.
