Season Theme Season Cosmetic Rewards Season Journey Rewards Season Conquests Haedrig's Gifts Patch Notes Seasons Greater Rift Updates Items Bug Fixes New Season Theme
The souls of heroes defeated in the eternal struggle against evil call for aid! Astute Nephalem will listen to the petrified screams of the dead, and find themselves attuned to the last agonizing moments of the departed. Will these Nephalem heed the whispers of atonement of fallen heroes and survive their echoing nightmare? Or will they be forever trapped, becoming just another fallen Nephalem? Only time will tell...
In Season 26, we introduce the Echoing Nightmare. This is our first Seasonal Theme that introduces a new activity to the game. In the Echoing Nightmare, players will experience an intense, densely packed, increasingly challenging event that stretches their ability to stay in the fight as long as possible. We found inspiration in Orek's warning, "Many Nephalem have stood where you are now, but few succeeded in overcoming the trials." The Echoing Nightmare explores what happened to those Nephalem who did not succeed.

Seasonal Cosmetic Rewards
Beginning with Season 17, we began reintroducing previous rewards to make them available to players who may have missed them the first time around. For Season 26, this means awards originally available from Season 14 are returning. In addition to the Boots and Pants slots of the exclusive Conqueror Set, a series of portrait frames themed around the enigmatic Tal Rasha will be available. For the nephalem hero who wants to embody the spirit of Justice, a pennant dedicated to everyone’s favorite archangel will also be available. Just remember—you cannot judge Justice itself!
However, we know it’s nice to have something new to aim for if you’ve participated in previous Seasons. We’re continuing to provide new End of Journey rewards as introduced in Season 17, with two new cosmetic ones for those who complete the entirety of the Season journey. Endure The Fall of the Nephalem and complete the Season 26 Guardian Journey to earn the Rakkis’ Remembrance portrait and the Toothsome Trooper pet.

Season Journey Rewards
If you’ve been playing the past few Seasons diligently and reached Conqueror in the Season Journey each time, you’ve accrued a few extra stash tabs. Players who have not yet earned a total of five stash tabs via the Season Journey can still unlock an additional one by completing the following tasks at the Conqueror tier:
Complete a level 70 Torment XIII Rift in under 5 minutes Complete Greater Rift 60 solo Kill Greed on Torment XIII Kill the Butcher at level 70 in Torment XIII in under 30 seconds Reforge a Legendary or Set item Augment an Ancient item with a Level 50 or greater Legendary Gem Level three Legendary Gems to 55 Complete two Conquests Return to Top
Seasonal Conquests
Speaking of Conquests, we’re rotating those, too! Returning for the Season of Greed is Avarice and Avarita, where every gold piece you find will count! Speed Demon and Need for Speed will ask you to kick it into full gear in your Nephalem Rift runs. On a Good Day and I Can’t Stop will congratulate high ranking Legendary Gems. Finally, for the solo crowd, Divinity and Lionhearted will ask you to climb Greater Rift heights by your lonesome, while Years of War and Dynasty challenge your game mastery of at least six classes.

Haedrig’s Gift
Finally, just as before, you’ll get a shiny new Class Set courtesy of Haedrig’s Gift for completing certain chapters in the Season Journey. We’ve listed the available Sets below. For those new to Seasons, here’s how it works:
Completing Chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the Season Journey will reward you with three Haedrig’s Gifts. Each Gift contains a few pieces from one of your Class Sets. Players can only unlock one Class Set in this manner per Season across Hardcore and Non-Hardcore, so choose wisely!
The set you will receive depends on the Class of the character you’re playing when you open each Haedrig’s Gift. To collect a full Class Set, you’ll need to open all three on the same character.
Here are the sets granted by Haedrig’s Gift in Season 26:
Barbarian – The Legacy of Raekor Crusader – Armor of Akkhan Demon Hunter – Embodiment of the Marauder Monk – Inna’s Reach Necromancer – Pestilence Master’s Shroud Witch Doctor – Zunimassa’s Haunt Wizard – Delsere’s Magnum Opus

Seasons
Season 26 introduces the Echoing Nightmare, an optional and rewarding end-game challenge where players fight within the memories of Nephalem who fell in a Greater Rift. Today’s Nephalem must stand their ground until they are inevitably Overwhelmed or defeated. Players must collect a Petrified Scream from defeated Greater Rift Guardians to gain entry to the Echoing Nightmare. Transmuting a Petrified Scream in Kanai's Cube summons a portal that players can enter to face the horrors of the Nephalem's past.
Season Theme Details:
Petrified Screams and the Echoing Nightmare can only be accessed with seasonal characters. Only one player is required to transmute a Petrified Scream to open an Echoing Nightmare in a multiplayer game. Similar to a boss encounter, all players in a multiplayer game must accept a prompt to enter. While within an Echoing Nightmare, the difficulty scales as players progress in the encounter. Players can progress faster by defeating monsters quickly. Players receive the following rewards upon completing an Echoing Nightmare: EXP, Legendary Items, Blood Shards, Gems, and a new Legendary Gem, Whisper of Atonement. The Whisper of Atonement is a Legendary Gem used exclusively for Augmenting Ancient Legendary items. It drops pre-ranked based upon the player's performance in the Echoing Nightmare. Rare monsters now spawn within an Echoing Nightmare. Meteors now fall from the sky. Hellish Machinations now appear, which spawn streams of Exploding Lunatics. Rift Guardians now spawn.

Fixed a bug that caused Conduit Shrines to deal less damage than intended. New Updates (Post-PTR)
Monsters from the Echoing Nightmares no longer drop gold, items or health globes. Adjusted the damage done by Exploding Lunatics and Meteors to be more deadly. Adjust Meteor and Fallen Lunatic Molten damage to be Physical. Adjusted the difficulty of Tiers 100+. Replaced the Shield Pylon with a Speed Pylon.

Greater Rift Updates
We wanted to improve the Greater Rift experience through quality of life updates, balance changes and addressing community feedback. We reviewed all of the maps and monsters that appear in Greater Rifts and reworked the probabilities overall to make sure players spend more time with the content they enjoy. Less spaghetti and more chickens!
Orek's Dream: Greater Rifts have a small chance to roll as Orek's Dream. These dreamlike rifts have a curated list of maps and monster compositions.
3 maps have been added and 2 maps have been removed from the Greater Rift pool. Added: Fields of Misery, Desolate Sands and Briarthorn Cemetery Removed: Sewers of Caldeum, and Hidden Aqueducts The probability of Greater Rift maps has been adjusted. The probability of monster groups has been adjusted. The following monsters have been adjusted to grant more progression and EXP within Greater Rifts. Blazing Guardians Smoldering Guardians Frost Guardian Noxious Guardian Shock Guardian Blood Clan Spearman Dark Moon Clan Impaler Moon Clan Impaler Blood Clan Impaler Ice Clan Impaler Hell Witch Vile Temptress Players can speak to Orek to close an active Greater Rift. This option is only available when in a single player game. Further increased the progression granted by some monsters in Greater Rifts. Additionally, increased the progression granted by Fallen Shaman, Fallen Conjurer, Fallen Prophet and Fallen Firemage. Updated visual effects upon entering an Orek's Dream. Updated the Orek's Dream vignette to be more pronounced. Return to Patch Notes Table of Contents
