Season 3

Season 3 - Season of Construct begins at 10 a.m PST (8 pm GMT) on Tuesday 23rd January 2024.

Ancient forces threaten Sanctuary. Aided by your Seneschal Companion, hazard the many traps and devastating Constructs beneath the deserts of Kehjistan.

Deep beneath the swirling sands, elemental forces are amassing for the malicious whims of the demon Malphas. Only by descending far below the surface will you be able to cull this cursed threat from its root.

Season 3 Location

Kehjistan will be the battleground of Season 3. Below the Amber Sands (Desolate Sands) lay the Vaults once occupied by Zoltun Kulle (founding member of the Horadrim) who toiled away there creating the Black Soulstone to trap and hold the Great Evils. This was work he didn't want the other Horadrim or demonic forces discovering so he set traps throughout the archives in case they came searching for him. Traps you'll find soon enough. Kulle also created mechanical Constructs to protect the Vaults which they did, only a little too enthusiastically. To ensure their rampant killing sprees didn't lead to his secret library being discovered by the Horadrim he had to seal the Constructs away and it is this new family of monsters you will battle in order to save The Loom.

The Loom

The Loom is an ancient technology designed by Zoltun Kulle and his companion Ayuzhan. Zoltun Kulle appeared in Diablo 3 where years of experimenting with Soulstones had turned him to the dark side and into a Dark Horadrim but he was defeated. With Kulle dead his companion, Ayuzhan, failed to keep the Loom safe and now it has fallen into the hands of the demon Malphas who is harnessing its awesome power and not in a good way.

Season 3 Questline

You will begin your journey in the Gatehall, a town center underneath Kehjistan that will serve as your base of operations. The Gatehall is your conduit to access the deadly Vaults. Zoltun’s former companion Ayuzhan leads you through the treacherous Vaults, desperate to stop the formidable Malphas who seeks to unleash deadly Constructs upon Sanctuary, pouring from the underground Vault to terrorize the innocents and sinful alike.

Seneschal Companion

For the first time in Diablo 4 you can have a companion who works a little like Mercenaries in Diablo 2 and Followers in Diablo 3. The Seneschal Construct complements your adventures by engaging directly in the fight or aiding you dutifully on the sidelines. Using magical Governing and Tuning Stones recovered from the Vaults and elsewhere in Sanctuary, you can augment your Seneschal to best suit your build. Once you’ve acquired your Seneschal, they’ll follow you everywhere in Sanctuary until Season of the Construct ends.

There are 12 Governing Stones and 27 different Tuning Stones of different rarities to seek out. Tuning and Governing Stones can be acquired in a few different ways. Complete Vaults to earn one random Tuning Stone and seek out Wardwoven Chests to earn additional Tuning Stones, both of which can be earned through various levels of the Season Journey. Both types also have a low chance of appearing as drops when playing Vaults and Arcane Tremors. Defeating enemy Constructs within the Vaults will also grant Shattered Stone, which can be crafted into Governing and Tuning Stones at Jewelers found throughout Sanctuary.

Governing Stones

Governing Stones determine which attacks your Seneschal can perform. You can equip your Seneschal with 2 Governing Stones and into each of those place 3 Tuning Stones to fine tune them.
