New Rewards and Features Await
With Sins of the Horadrim, a treasure trove of new rewards beckons players through the Battle Pass. Right off the bat, there’s a free reward track featuring 200 Platinum, a stunning horse mount, mount armor, three impressive weapons, and a useful Town Portal. If you’re feeling adventurous, purchasing the Battle Pass unlocks the exciting new Reliquary system, allowing players to select rewards from distinctive categories.
The Armour Reliquary introduces a comprehensive set of armor tailored to various classes, a premium Town Portal, and unique weapons. Meanwhile, the Beast category brings players a loyal pet, impressive mounts, specialized armor, and even a mount trophy. For devoted players completing the Chapter 6 Seasonal Journey, the special hound Dante will join your ranks, collecting gold along the way. Additionally, the Weapon Reliquary features weapon cosmetics inspired by the mystical legends of the Horadric Order, ensuring that players can flaunt new styles while tackling the game’s challenges.
The Season of the Horadrim isn’t just about cosmetics; it introduces a fresh Nightmare Dungeon update as well as unique abilities that amplify gameplay. Blizzard has detailed that Season 9 invites players to explore hidden Horadric Strongrooms scattered throughout Sanctuary’s Nightmare Dungeons, where Blood Relics infused with Astaroth’s corruption await discovery.
Players will harness the ancient arcane magic of the Horadrim to customize new Horadric Spells tailored to their playstyle. Each purified relic serves to weaken Astaroth’s nefarious grip, culminating in an intense showdown against new bosses. As the battle escalates, Astaroth will split into two formidable foes, intensifying the challenge.
To conquer this threat, players can craft custom spells using one Catalyst, one Infusion, and up to three Arcanas. This means you can attach spells to any ability, creating devastating combos that could turn the tide of battle. Plus, venturing into Nightmare Dungeons will unveil Horadric Strongrooms that lead to micro-dungeons filled with potent Relics essential for Astaroth’s defeat. Get ready to summon your strength because an epic adventure awaits!
