A Diablo 4 player makes an incredible discovery about witchcraft powers, and shows how to make one of them even more powerful.
Blizzard has announced the return of the Lunar Awakening, which will begin on February 4 at 10 am PST and end on February 18 at 10 am PST. Players in Diablo 4's Eternal and Seasonal realms can join the event by activating Lunar Shrines scattered around Sanctuary, which have the form of a snake to celebrate the 2025 Chinese Lunar New Year. By activating them, they will give 100% XP for two minutes, an effect like summoning a holy bomb, and will have a chance of attracting Misery Spirits. Players will also be able to earn Ancestral Favor Reputation by defeating monsters in dungeons or in the wilderness, exchanging for themed rewards in the Lunar Night Market.
