Seasonal Story – Discover Zoltun Kulle’s Ancient Technology, the Loom
Season of the Construct will see players discover a new threat under the deserts of Kehjistan, an ancient piece of technology called The Loom. Designed by Zoltun Kulle, this piece of tech has been corrupted by the demon Malphas and is now being used to create deadly constructs causing chaos in Sanctuary. With the aid of Ayuzhan, Zoltun’s former companion, you will battle through Vaults and help find a way to stop Malphas’ plans.
Players will travel to the Gatehall, where they can access the new Vaults and serve as the base of operation for players during the season as they advance and prepare to take the fight to the Loom and save Sanctuary.
Seasonal Mechanics – Seneschal Companion and the Vaults
As with each season, Season of the Construct will bring new mechanics that will play a large role in how you play and enjoy the seasonal content. This time around, players will be getting the Seneschal Companion, a new pet-like companion you can upgrade and alter to fit your needs in combat, and they will be joining you for the duration of the season.
The Seneschal Companion can deal damage, provide support, take incoming attacks, and serve whatever role you need. It also acts as this season’s primary mechanic, with its own UI and mechanics that work alongside some of the new content introduced in Season of the Construct.
This companion is refined using two new items earned during the season, Governing and Tuning Stones, which work similarly to Vampiric Powers in Season 2, allowing your construct to have different abilities that can be tweaked to fit your build and playstyle. These are earned through the Seasonal Journey and the new Vault Dungeons.
