Forgotten Nightmares, Diablo Immortal's First Major Content Update Is Coming Next Week
Diablo Immortal is getting its first major update since release, Forgotten Nightmares, which will be out next week on September 28. Expect a brand new dungeon, an overhaul to Warbands, including new game modes. The update also sets the stage for Season 5, a new Helliquary boss on the way, new Battle Pass season, events, and changes to Eternal Orbs pricing.
Silent Monastery Boss Ancient Nightmare
New dungeon, Silent Monastery. If you’re level 60 and above, you can head over in party groups of 2-4 members and try to find ways to illuminate some of the temple's statues in order to weaken the demons in the shadows and guard your passage. Keep working on slaying the demons and lighting more statues to get rid of the darkness and head into the interior of the temple to face the Ancient Nightmare. This will be a hard test where you will face shadow blasts and spike attacks.
Castle Cyrangar the new home for Warbands
The Diablo Immortal team is also overhauling Warbands in a big way introducing Ancestral Weapons. Castle Cyrangar, located on the outskirts of Westmarch, is the new home for Warbands and replaces Warband Camps. This new feature comes with two new replayable game modes:
Standard Mode can be played once a week. In this mode, players must withstand eight waves of blood-thirsty demons. If your Warband successfully staves off the Hellspawn, you’ll receive rewards and experience.
Endless mode can be played at any time. In this mode, Warbands will receive a score based on how many heavy-hitting waves of demons they can survive. This mode has an accompanying leaderboard, so you can see how your Warband stacks up to others. Additionally, the top Warbands will receive the Cyrangar Defense Portrait Frame for their tenacity.

This Diablo Immortal update also brings new Helliquary Raid Boss: IZILECH THE MISSHAPEN (combat rating 6175+), Season Five Battle Pass a day after on September 29, new Limited-Time Event SCOURING THE DARKNESS and new Standard Cosmetic Set: Crowned Ones that can be purchased from the in-game shop for 1,000 Eternal Orbs.
Working on player feedback, they’re trying to make the game even more rewarding. This includes a couple of major changes
Legendary and Rare Crest Improvements
Players can now:
Trade 1,600 platinum for one Legendary Crest. This can be done once a week.
Trade 200 Platinum for a Rare Crest. This can be done up to three times a week.
To do so, see Jondo Mouren, the Crest Merchant, located in the Westmarch Palace Courtyard.
Developer’s Note: “We want to provide players with additional ways to use platinum, while also providing more ways for players to earn Legendary Crests in game. For Rare Crests, we received feedback that players do not always have a worthwhile use for small amounts of Eternal Orbs. This change provides players an outlet to spend smalls amounts of leftover Eternal Orbs on, as one Eternal Orb can be traded for 10 Platinum.”
Warband Chest Legendary Items
Legendary items acquired from Warband Chests can now have their essence transferred.
Hero’s Journey Additional Chapters
Two new additional chapters will be added. Earning handy rewards and the Glorious Journey Portal Cosmetic.
New Bestiary Entries
There will be 20 new entries in the Horadric Bestiary to make gathering Monstrous Essence more rewarding. To see them, just keep unlocking pages.
Trade Market Adjustments
The timeframe in which players can buy any items you have up for sale has been reduced from 12 hours to 3 hours.
The timeframe in which players can resell items they recently purchased has been reduced from 7 to 2 days.
Eternal Orbs Bundle Update
The 315 Eternal Orbs bundle for USD $4.99 has been changed to 320 Eternal Orbs for USD $4.99.
The 630 Eternal Orbs bundle for USD $9.99 has been changed to 650 Eternal Orbs for USD $9.99.
Developer’s Note: “We made this change to the above Eternal Orb bundles based on player feedback that the 315 eternal Orbs bundle was short of being enough to purchase two Legendary Crests. Additionally, the 630 Eternal Orbs bundle was short of being enough to purchase four Legendary Crests.”
Last but not least the elephants in the room, notice how I said the elephants in plural.
New Legendary Gems
Three new Legendary Gems will be added! For three weeks after release, players will have the option to enable a modified drop table for their Legendary Crests when running Elder Rifts. With the modified drop table enabled, any time a five-star gem drops, it has a 50% chance to be the new Frozen Heart 5 Star Gem.
Blessed Pebble (One Star Gem): Increases the duration of beneficial effects on you by 12% and increases your Movement Speed by 8% for three seconds after gaining a beneficial effect.
The Abiding Curse (Two Star Gem): Your attacks have a 15% chance to curse enemies, reducing their Attack and Movement speeds by 35% for eight seconds. Cursed enemies also take 10% increased damage from your attacks. Cannot curse the same target more than once every 20 seconds.
Frozen Heart (Five Star Gem): When you take damage, activate a Frigid Shield for six seconds that Chills enemy attackers and absorbs damage equal to 360% of your base damage plus 1,458. Frigid Shield also grants your attacks a 60% chance to Chill enemies. Cannot gain Frigid Shield more than once every 20 seconds.
Developer’s Note: “Legendary Gems are a core part of any player's character, and we want to continually provide more options over time that enable players to choose how they modify their builds. These new Legendary Gems have a lot of general applications, and we cannot wait to see how players integrate them into their builds.”
New Set Items: Gloomguide’s Prize
Set items provide powerful synergies with certain builds and represent a large part of endgame character build optimization. The newest set, Gloomguide’s Prize, is centered around using Dash skills.
Gloomguide’s Prize (2-Piece Bonus): Increases your damage done by 15% for three seconds after using a Dash skill.
Gloomguide’s Prize (4-Piece Bonus): Increases your Critical Hit Chance by 22.5% for three seconds after using a Dash skill.
Gloomguide’s Prize (6-Piece Bonus): Unleashes a wave of terror when your Dash skill ends, dealing X damage and causing nearby enemies to flee in Fear for three seconds. The wave of terror will only trigger when enemies are nearby but cannot occur more often than every 40 seconds.
The update is scheduled to be released next week, and with all this bitterness floating around, it seems that Diablo Immortal could be “saved”.
