Diablo 4’s Season of Blood is a thrilling expansion that has captivated the gaming community. The season was originally scheduled to begin on October 17th, 2023, but due to technical issues, the launch was delayed by a few hours. The season introduces a new questline, five endgame bosses, and Vampiric Powers, among other features.

The Season of Blood revolves around an army of vampires terrorizing Sanctuary and gathering the blood of innocents for their dark master. Players partner with Erys, a professional Vampire Hunter, to uncover and put an end to the Vampire Lord’s dark plot before all is lost. The season introduces Vampiric Powers, which players can unlock and use against the vampires. These powers can bolster your damage or defensive abilities and can add large amounts of utility. They can even interact with the new seasonal ability – Vampiric Curse.

To unlock Vampiric Powers, players need Potent Blood, which is acquired from fallen adversaries. Potent Blood can be spent in the Vampiric Powers tab within the Character menu to unlock a random power or power upgrade. Vampiric Powers can also be unlocked by completing the Seasonal Questline and from the Blood Harvest Seasonal Event.

The Blood Harvest Seasonal Event offers the highest chance for receiving Potent Blood and Pact Armor. Completing Bounties, killing Blood Blisters, completing World Events, disturbing vampiric rituals, and freeing prisoners will all earn you some Reputation that accumulates as you climb Tiers and unlock useful rewards. These include crafting materials, Items, and Pact consumables.

A new pinnacle dungeon, the Abattoir of Zir, was made available on December 5th, 2023. This endgame pinnacle dungeon offers a new, terrifying challenge. Players must defeat the servants of Zir within ten minutes to beat this pinnacle dungeon. Each time you complete the time trial, a new challenge is added to the mix. The Abattoir of Zir pinnacle dungeon is only available for players who have completed the Season 6 journey.
