In the latest Diablo IV Campfire Chat, the development team has unveiled some exciting new features coming to Sanctuary next Tuesday Tuesday, March 5.

The Gauntlet

The Gauntlet is a fixed-seed, non-linear dungeon that will change every week. In this dungeon you will have to earn Proofs of Might by killing monsters and opening chests.

The chests in The Gauntlet work similarly to Coffins in the Blood Harvest. You'll need to find

Iron Key

The

Iron Key

Iron Key

After killing a boss within the dungeon, a shrine will appear where they have been slain. Activate the Shrine to receive one of the various shrine effects available, which will be identical each time the same boss is killed within the Gauntlet.

While score-based Pillars increase your Proofs of Might, power-based Shrines can also spawn in the Gauntlet.

How to access The Gauntlet

On World Tier IV, travel to the southwestern port in Gea Kul. At the end of the longest dock sits the Horn of Trials, activate it to access the Gauntlet.

The Gauntlets Details

• Fixed-seed, non-linear
• Ends every Tuesday at 8 a.m. PST
• Resets every Tuesday at 10:15 a.m. PST
• 8-minute time limit
• World Tier IV
• Monster level 100+

What happens when you die in The Gauntlet

Unlike in the Abattoir of Zir, dying does not end your Gauntlet run. However, each time you die you will lose 1/3rd of your score.

Rewards

By increasing your score in The Gauntlet and ranking up you will be able to earn 4 different Seals. The score needed to earn each Seal will vary week by week.

• Seal of the Blooded
• Seal of the Steadfast
• Seal of the Iron-Willed
• Seal of the Worthy

When The Gauntlet resets weekle and depending on your best score, you’ll earn Caches of Trials. The higher the score, the better the Cache you’ll earn for that week.

Earning a Cache of Trials guarantees one Ancestral Legendary. Earning the Seal of the Worthy will guarantuee items of item power 925.

Vampiric Legendary Powers

Just like Caged Hearts, some Vampiric Powers will make their comeback to the game. They will be slightly tweaked to be less overpowered and this time come in the form of Legendary Aspects.

The Vampiric Powers that will return as Legendary Aspects in this mid-season update are:

• Accursed Touch

• Hectic
