The Season of Witchcraft in *Diablo 4* introduces a wealth of new content that promises to enrich the gameplay experience. Among the exciting additions are the Witchcraft Powers, which offer players a variety of unique abilities. However, to fully leverage these powers, you'll need to acquire a new and scarce resource: Fugitive Heads. Let's dive into what they are and how you can obtain them in *Diablo 4* Season 7.
What Are Fugitive Heads in Diablo 4 Season 7?
Season 7 of *Diablo 4* is packed with new features, but the spotlight is undoubtedly on the Witchcraft Powers. These abilities can significantly enhance your gameplay, but they require a special resource called Occult Gems to truly shine. These gems provide 160 Armor and an 8% Resist All boost, making them highly valuable. However, crafting Occult Gems is no easy feat; it requires a Fugitive Head, which you can only obtain by bringing one to Gelena at the Tree of Whispers. To craft more Occult Gems, you'll need at least one Fugitive Head, 1,000 Restless Rot, and 50,000 Gem Fragments. Clearly, understanding how to acquire Fugitive Heads is crucial for maximizing your potential in *Diablo 4* Season 7.

How To Find Fugitive Heads in Diablo 4 Season 7
To secure a Fugitive Head, players must engage in a challenging process that involves completing Whisper bounties in the newly introduced Headhunt zones. Upon completion, there's a chance that an Uprooted Cocoon will spawn. However, cracking it open isn't straightforward; it triggers the emergence of Headrotten Bosses. With a bit of luck, defeating one of these bosses could yield a Fugitive Head.
Given the randomness involved, boosting your odds is advisable. The Draught of Whispers Elixir, available from Exposed Roots, Whispers Cache, and Coven's Cache, increases the chance of Fugitive Heads spawning by 50% and also enhances the likelihood of encountering Forgotten Altars.
Difficulty level also plays a critical role in obtaining Fugitive Heads. The resource has a very low spawn rate on difficulties below Torment, which is already challenging to obtain. Casual players might want to gradually acclimate to Torment difficulty before embarking on a Headhunt. Fortunately, Season 7 extends until April, giving players ample time to strategize and collect Fugitive Heads.
That's the comprehensive guide on how to acquire Fugitive Heads in *Diablo 4* Season 7. For more tips, check out how to solve and complete Poison in the Roots.
