Diablo 4 enthusiasts gearing up for Season 2, titled Season of Blood, should consider a few strategic moves to enhance their gameplay. Here’s a concise guide to prepare for the upcoming grimdark adventure, ensuring a smoother experience from the outset.
Choose a Character Class
Selecting a character class is a pivotal decision. Whether sticking with a familiar class or opting for a new one, the choice impacts the overall Diablo 4 Season 2 experience. Experimenting with different classes across seasons adds variety to the gameplay.
Complete the Campaign
Though optional, completing the campaign before diving into Season 2 is advised. Skipping the campaign during Season 2 allows players to swiftly progress through the new content. Having finished the campaign earlier ensures the availability of the skip option, saving time.
Know How to Get a Mount
Acquiring a mount, such as a horse, is crucial for efficient map traversal in Season 2. Obtaining a horse either through campaign progression or skipping allows players to start the new season on a fast track. Completing the campaign once is a prerequisite for this advantage.
Find All the Altars of Lilith
Locating and activating all 160 Altars of Lilith in previous or non-seasonal playthroughs offers significant benefits for seasonal characters. These include boosted stats, increased Murmuring Obols capacity, and Paragon Points. The time-consuming task pays off in saved character-building time for subsequent seasons.
Unlock the Whole Map & Renown
Exploring the entire map before Season 2 initiation is a wise move. Once unlocked with one character, subsequent characters, including seasonal ones, begin with the entire map accessible. This also accumulates Renown, providing a substantial initial boost, particularly beneficial for those skipping the campaign.
Know Your Legendary Aspects
Legendary Aspects from pre-Season 2 playthroughs do not carry over. Familiarizing oneself with the dungeons and bosses associated with unlocking Legendary Aspects is advisable. Knowing which Aspects align with one’s build streamlines the process, making Season 2 progression more efficient.
