Starting their adventures in Diablo 4 Season 3, players will be immersed in a new dangerous storyline, but sooner or later, you will want to visit new Vaults. This type of dungeon, which is added in Season 3, allows players go through a dangerous path, fighting new enemies and overcoming traps. If you manage to save at least one blessing stack of Zoltun Warding, you will receive even more rewards.

Vault rewards include many valuable items, such as Governing and Tuning Stones to improve the new Seneschal Companion. However, accessing these dungeons is not so easy. To unlock the Vaults, you'll have to complete most of the Season 3 story. And to access their Nightmare versions, you'll have to do even more.

How To Unlock the Vaults in Diablo 4 Season 3

Diablo 4 Season of the Construct

To unlock Vaults in Diablo 4, players must progress quite far in the Season of the Construct questline. As part of the game's story, you will reach the Vault of the Loom and challenge Malphas, Keeper of the Vaults. Once this boss is defeated, head to the Gatehall and speak with Ayuzhan. Completing this dialogue will also mean completing The Span of Our Arms quest, the tenth quest in the Season of the Construct questline. Once you do this, you will have access to the following four Vaults:

  • Vault of Copper
  • Vault of Cinders
  • Vault of the Loom
  • Vault of Stone

It is also worth noting that by raising your level a little and moving further, you will also gain access to the fifth dungeon, Vault of Ink.

Before heading to the Vaults, players should participate in the new Arcane Tremors events. You can find them on the map near small tower icons with green leaves near the Vaults. If you interact with the local Obelisks, you can accumulate Elemental Cores and Shattered Stones, the materials needed to summon heralds of Malphas. In turn, fighting these monsters will reward you with Pearls of Warding.

By using Pearls of Warding in Zoltun Statues inside Vaults, players can get stacks of Zoltun's Warding. This buff will not only increase your Defense, but also allow you to receive additional rewards if you can save at least a few blessing stacks by the end of the dungeon. So, avoid traps to succeed.

As for Nightmare Vaults, players get access to them after leveling up and reaching World Tier 3. At this stage, collecting Pearls of Warding is a requirement. In addition to exchanging them for Zoltun's Warding, you can also use them to create Vault Sigils, which are the keys to enter Nightmare Vaults.

Luckily, you only need to take the Pearls to the Occultist vendor and make a few sigils. Of course, you will need many of these keys if you are not ready for all the challenges in the dungeon. Completing Vaults will reward you with many valuable rewards, including Pearls of Warding or Governing and Tuning Stones to upgrade your Seneschal Companion.
