Horadric powers have been introduced toDiablo 4with its latest season. Players can complete special Horadric strongrooms to enhance their skills with new powers. It’s a similar system to previous seasonal mechanics, so this should feel like second nature to any experienced D4 player.
But before you’re able to start toying with these new powers, you’ll need to get your hands on them. Find yourself a Horadric strongroom, clear out as many enemies as possible, then defeat the boss to get your hands on new powers, augments, and more. Let’s go over how these strongrooms work, where to find them, and briefly explain how they work.
Where To Find Horadric Strongrooms
Horadric strongrooms are aguaranteed spawn in Nightmare Dungeons during Season of the Horadric.You must create a seasonal character to access this content; it’s not part of the main game. Upon creating a seasonal character,visit Cerrigar and speak with Bryona.They will give you a few Nightmare Sigils to start and explain how the seasonal mechanic works.
Once you enter a Nightmare Dungeon, your character will occasionally spawn an energy wisp that will direct you in a certain direction.Following the energy wisp will take you to the Horadric gateway.Interact with it, defeat the enemies that spawn, and it’ll open a portal to a Horadric Strongroom instance.
Clearing A Horadric Strongroom
Once you’re inside the strongroom, you’ll need to clear a dormant Horodric pillar. Defeating all of the enemies will spawn a series of modifiers you may activate.You must activate one or two modifiers before proceeding—the number depends on your current difficulty. Most of these augments adjust enemy density how muchHorodric Attunementyou receive from kills, which is effectively your score. The more attunement you get, the more loot you’ll receive from the final boss.
If you remember theKurast Undercity activityfrom Vessel of Hatred, this is effectively the same thing but on a single floor.You have 100 seconds to kill as many enemies as possible,filling your Horodric meter will attunement progress. Once the timer ends, the final boss will spawn next to your character. Slay them to receive your rewards. If you’re able to max your Horodric Attunement before the timer’s up, you’ll spawn the boss early.
Defeating the boss will granta shower of items, Horodric Phials, Horodric Knowledge, and a chance of unlocking new Horadric Spellcraft modifiers.Excluding the usual weapons and armor pieces you receive, the main reason to farm this activity is to progress the seasonal Horodric mechanics, notably the new spellcrafting system. Farm this activity while leveling to fill out your collection of spells and max out your reputation with the seasonal vendor.
