Unlocking the Vaults
To access the Vaults in Diablo 4, players must progress deeply into the Season of the Construct questline. This captivating journey leads you to the Vault of the Loom where you will confront Malphas, the Keeper of the Vaults. Upon defeating this formidable boss, head to the Gatehall and engage in dialogue with Ayuzhan. This pivotal moment marks the completion of The Span of Our Arms quest, unlocking access to four distinct Vaults: Vault of Copper, Vault of Cinders, Vault of the Loom, and Vault of Stone.

Prior to venturing into the Vaults, it is advisable to participate in the new Arcane Tremors events. Keep an eye out for these events near the Vaults, marked by small tower icons with green leaves. Engage with the local Obelisks to collect Elemental Cores and Shattered Stones, essential materials for summoning heralds of Malphas. Defeating these creatures will yield Pearls of Warding, a crucial resource within the Vaults.
Inside the Vaults, players can utilize Pearls of Warding at the Zoltun Statues to acquire Zoltun's Warding, an empowering buff that enhances defense and unlocks additional rewards. Successfully navigating the treacherous traps and obstacles will enable players to retain blessing stacks, ensuring a greater bounty at the end of the dungeon.
Unlocking Nightmare Vaults
Nightmare Vaults, a more challenging iteration of the standard Vaults, become accessible to players upon reaching World Tier 3 and accumulating Pearls of Warding. These valuable resources can also be exchanged for Vault Sigils, the key to entering Nightmare Vaults. Visit the Occultist vendor to craft these sigils and prepare for the formidable trials that await within the Nightmare Vaults.
Completing Nightmare Vaults presents players with an array of valuable rewards, including Pearls of Warding and Governing and Tuning Stones to enhance the Seneschal Companion. The journey through Nightmare Vaults promises to test the mettle of even the most seasoned adventurers, offering unparalleled challenges and unprecedented rewards.
