New Occult Abilities to Assist Players in Season of Witchcraft for Diablo 4

As if Hell and the jungle weren't brutal enough, Diablo 4 is now delving into the world of Witchcraft—which players can wield themselves. The Season of Witchcraft, launching later this month, introduces players to an eerie new Coven, featuring a series of quests and bosses that grant new Witchcraft abilities, prizes, and more.

In this spooky new season, players will discover the Tree of Whispers, missing the Heads of those condemned for their debts. Players will ally with the Witches of Hawezar to learn their powers and bring the Heads back for justice and stability.

The Seasonal Questline introduces three new schools of Witchcraft:

- Eldritch—Wield magic that harnesses destructive energies.

- Psyche—Wield defensive powers of the mind and spirit to create visions, focus your attacks, and induce madness in your enemies.

- Growth & Decay—Wield living magic that both heals and harms, boosting Life and Resource. These incantations can create horrific diseases and disruptions.

Players can unlock these skills through Seasonal reputation with the Coven, earning Restless Rot by completing Whisper bounties and taking down Headrotten enemies.

In addition to reputation boosts and standard quest rewards, completing Whisper quests in the Headhunt zones initiates a series of actions that can spawn the Headrotten bosses. These massive abominations are grown from the missing heads of the Tree of Whispers. Returning the Head of a fallen boss to the Tree of Whispers grants a special prize.

These quests and bosses provide materials for the Seasonal socketables, Occult Gems, and a chance at the Ancestral Collection line of items.

Along with this new content, a slew of changes, fixes, and additional content will be added to Diablo 4. The Season of Witchcraft drops on January 21 at 10:00 a.m. PST.
