How to Find the Essence of the Void in Hytale
The Essence of the Void is a combat-focused resource in Hytale that requires a bit of planning to gather efficiently. Unlike some other essences, this one is closely tied to specific enemy types and time-of-day conditions. Knowing when and where to look makes a big difference if you want to farm it consistently.
Where the Essence of the Void Comes From
Voidspawn Enemies
The most reliable source of the Essence of the Void is Voidspawn enemies. Every Voidspawn killed will drop an Essence of the Void, with a very small chance of also dropping a Voidheart.
Voidspawn only spawn at night. If you sleep through the night, they will not appear, which makes it impossible to farm them during that cycle. If your goal is to gather Essences of the Void, you will want to stay active as night begins and avoid skipping ahead to daytime.
Outlander Enemies
Certain Outlander enemies can also drop the Essence of the Void, though this method is less consistent than farming Voidspawn.
Outlander Initiates, recognizable by their blindfolds, and Outlander Brutes are known to drop Essences of the Void. These enemies are usually found in large Outlander settlements near icy regions of the map.
It is important to note that Outlanders rarely spawn directly on ice. Most of their settlements are located along the borders of glacier biomes rather than deep inside frozen areas.
Conclusion
The best way to farm the Essence of the Void is by fighting Voidspawn at night, since every kill guarantees a drop. Outlander enemies offer an alternative source, especially if you are already exploring cold regions, but they are not as reliable. By paying attention to the time of day and knowing where these enemies actually spawn, gathering the Essence of the Void becomes much more straightforward and far less frustrating.
