Diablo IV – Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim

  • Questline: In Season 9, players journey to Cerrigar to meet with the Druid Bryona, who must contend with the choices made by the Horadric Mage Donan. Help Bryona protect her home and unlock the secrets of Horadric Strongrooms along the way.
  • Horadric Spells: Take hold of mighty Spellcrafting abilities to customize and build your Horadric Spells. By combining potent elements, players can create intense magic that fits their playstyle.
  • Nightmare Dungeon Changes: To shake up Nightmare Dungeons in a permanent way, Horadric Strongholds, Escalating Nightmares, and new Nightmare Dungeon affixes will be available from now on.
    • Found within Nightmare Dungeons, Horadric Strongrooms are micro-dungeons that offer greater rewards and more fearsome mummified enemies.
    • Sinking deeper into despair, Escalating Nightmares throws players into a chain of three Nightmare Dungeons that progressively increase in difficulty (and rewards). Fight your way through all three to face the Exalted version of Astaroth.
    • As the battle with Astaroth unfolds, he will dismount from the Amalgam of Rage, splitting into two separate bosses. The Amalgam will resurrect after a short time as long as his Master still stands, so strategize accordingly to smite this acolyte of Mephisto.
  • Other Permanent Features:  Season 9 also introduces mouse-and-keyboard controls on console and new Uniques for each Class.
  • Season Journey: Progress through the Season Journey for the Sins of the Horadrim to earn rewards like Dante the Dog, a pet with a bark to match his hellish bite.
