A Looming Threat Needs to be Stopped in Diablo IV Season of the Construct

jasonnieva January 17, 2024

It looks like ancient forces are threatening Sanctuary. When Season of the Construct begins January 23 in Diablo IV, you'll be asked to go far below the surface and stop the cursed threat from its root. Get ready to take on a new questline and dive to a new Dungeon type known as Vaults.

The Legacy of Zoltun Kulle

Underneath the sands of Kehjistan lies a new threat. The Loom, an ancient technology designed by Zoltun Kulle and Ayuzhan of Caldeum, seems to have been seized by the forces of evil. The Demon Malphas has managed to twist the Loom and use it for his cruel whims. With the assistance of Ayuzhan, it's up to you to stop Malphas and make sure that his deadly constructs won't overrun Sanctuary.

In the fight against the Constructs, you'll need to head over to Gatehall, which is a town center that's under Kehjistan. It's going to serve as your base of operations and act as the conduit for you to access the deadly Vaults. Danger lies in these Vaults with the elemental Hazards and Constructs. However, they serve as the key to harnessing the true potential that the Loom offers.

Inside the Vaults

As Ayuzhan lay sleeping, Malphas grew in strength and was able to harness the awesome power of the Loom and corrupt the vast network of Vaults that was lying dormant. The Hazards were once used to make sure that any demonic influence are kept out. However, they now protect the forces of evil instead.

The Vaults can be described as specialized dungeons which house elemental Hazards that were devised by Zoltun Kulle and Ayuzhan themselves. Within these Hazards lie The Constructs, which are an entirely new monster family. In fact, some elemental variants of these monsters are lying in wait unsuspecting wanderers to fall into their mechanical clutches.

Once you enter the Vault, you’ll be blessed Zoltun’s Warding. This is a special layered blessing which gives you access to riches within the Vaults. Zoltun’s Warding diminishes stack by stack especially if you manage to fall victim to the different Hazards scattered throughout the Vaults.

Those able to keep Zoltun’s Warding intact even after they defeat the Vault Boss, they get to unlock a Wardwoven Chest, which has a higher chance of giving out Legendary items.
