Season 1 of Diablo 4 brings a fresh lineup of Legendary Aspects that can completely reshape your character’s power. From aggressive offense boosts to clever defensive mechanics, these new Aspects add layers of strategy for players chasing the ultimate build.
Unlike the new Unique items introduced in season 1, which require you to play on World Tier 4 to obtain, you can unlock the new Legendary Aspects on any World Tier in season 1. Blizzard says they’ll be obtained through the seasonal journey, though it remains to be seen how exactly you unlock each one.
Here are all the new Legendary Aspects in Diablo 4 season 1. We’ll update this guide with more information on how to obtain them when applicable, and continue to add every new set of Legendary Aspects each season.
Diablo 4 Season 1 Legendary Aspects
Diablo 4 Season 1 introduces 28 new Legendary Aspects across classes, each tailored to specific builds and playstyles. Barbarians gain Might and Bold Chieftain for crowd control and group synergy, while Druids receive Aftershock and Shockwave for seismic damage bursts. Necromancers benefit from Splintering Energy and Serration for minion boosts and bone spear penetration. Rogues pick up Inner Calm and Last Laugh to chain kills and amplify critical strikes. Sorcerers wield Clash of Sigils and Elementalist’s Tempest for hybrid elemental havoc. These Aspects reshape core mechanics, available through the Codex of Power after drops from Season Journey activities or targeted dungeon clears.

How to obtain each Legendary Aspect in Season 1
Diablo 4 Season 1’s new Legendary Aspects are primarily obtained via the Seasonal Journey chapters or random drops from enemies and legendaries, with many added to the Codex of Power for imprinting.
General Aspects
Audacity and Craven unlock after completing Seasonal Journey Chapters 5 and 6, respectively, making them available in the Codex for all classes.
Chapter 1 Rewards
Ancestral Charge (Barbarian), Subterranean (Druid), Gore Quills (Necromancer), Pestilent Points (Rogue), and Searing Wards (Sorcerer) are earned by finishing Chapter 1; these enter the Codex permanently once unlocked on any character.
Additional Aspects
Aspects like Bold Chieftain’s (Barbarian, Chapter 2), Shockwave (Druid, Chapter 2), Aspect of Exposed Flesh (Necromancer, Chapter 2), and others up to Chapter 4 (e.g., Lightning Dancer’s for Druid, Umbrous for Rogue) are rewarded per class through later Seasonal Journey chapters; these become extractable affixes rather than full Codex entries.
Random Drops
All Legendary Aspects, including these, can drop randomly from enemies, dungeons, or salvaged gear across any World Tier; extract them at the Occultist to store in your inventory for imprinting on compatible items.
Which dungeons drop specific Season 1 Legendary Aspects
Diablo 4 Season 1’s new Legendary Aspects are not tied to specific dungeon completions for Codex unlocks; instead, they primarily come from Seasonal Journey rewards or random drops.
Seasonal Journey Priority
Complete relevant chapters on any character to unlock the aspects directly into your Codex: Audacity (Chapter 5), Craven (Chapter 6), and class-specific ones like Ancestral Charge (Barbarian, Chapter 1).
Random Drop Sources
No dungeons guarantee these specific Season 1 aspects, as they aren’t dungeon-locked like base game Codex entries. Farm legendaries via Nightmare Dungeons (guaranteed 1-2 per clear), Helltides, or elite-heavy spots like Mercy’s Reach for random chances at any aspect, then salvage at the Oc
