Season 36 Compendium for Diablo 3
Though the Black Soulstone has been destroyed, lingering fragments of The Lords of Hell once contained therein still persist in Sanctuary. These Soul Shards hold immense power—power that once belonged to the Prime and Lesser Evils. Cunning Nephalem who find and wield these Soul Stones must exercise caution. Power can be alluring, and the road to the Burning Hells is paved with good intentions... On this page, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Season 36 of Diablo III!

Season 36 Theme: Soul Shards — All You Need To Know
First seen in Season 25, you can embrace evil by infusing yourself with the essences of Hell’s Lords using Soul Shards. Embark on your Season Journey to discover and upgrade demonic Soul Shards based on the seven Lords of Hell. By embodying a Prime and Lesser Evil, you will inflict new forms of pain and suffering on the demons of Sanctuary. Beyond this quick overview, we also have a dedicated Soul Shard Killstreak Effects and Mechanics article, where we go in-depth over the effects of this seasonal addition. If you are interested in the particulars of these bonuses and how they can affect your build, delve right in!
Throughout Season 36, players can find seven unique Soul Shards (based on the seven Lords of Hell), which give you new demonic powers. One of three Prime Evil Soul Shards can be equipped into Helms and one of four Lesser Evil Soul Shards can be equipped into Weapons. Each Soul Shard can be upgraded three times using a new seasonal-exclusive consumable, the Hellforge Ember.
