show the enemies that i'm ready to fight and i'm gonna buy the accelerated battle pass for that i'm not sure about that people i'm not sure about that people okay so compare battle passes uh three battle pass premium and accelerated obviously best value that's what they want you to uh so i don't want you to buy not that but what we got there i don't know people i hope it says the price of these as well so 20 smoldering ashes in all three 63 tiers on the premium track including armor transmog weapons skins emotes and more they are on the premium and the accelerated so uh is the cordial armor set for each class and base plus awoken versions rewarded mustan mines that is two the cordial boarding mal armor that is two get 20 tier skips doesn't really bother me i like to play and earn my shit on the warpath best value my ass premium is people i'm on premium i love the game i'll pay for a battle pass take my money okay so what do we have here frequently asked questions okay so how do i access the seasonal content do i need a battle pass to play once the season starts log on to the game create a new seasonal character and enjoy if you have not completed a companion yet you will need to complete it on one character to gain access to seasonal content the free battle pass is automatically available to all seasonal characters get the premium or accelerate battle pass to earn additional rewards okay so what happens to my character progression after the season ends okay so it's interesting the character and progress on that character is transferred to the eternal realm you can play this character whenever you want in the eternal realm specific season only features will no longer be accessible in the eternal realm for example at the end of season one malignant hearts will disappear and be unslotted from jewellery at the end of the season infested sockets will become normal sockets learn more here so let's click that let's click that malignant's runs rampant in the first season of the apple of thought okay so there's quite a bit of info here which i think we need to go through do we yes i think we do okay so let's actually go through the other questions first okay so how can i progress through the battle pass what is a favor your progress really i knew i knew a new favor was that shit your progress through the battle pass by earning favor you earn favor by just playing the game ex killing monsters completing campaigns and side quests or completing objectives in your season journey you can also progress through the battle pass by buying tier skips each cost 200 platinum no thanks what are small doing ashes is actually what i'm interested in small doing ashes is a currency used in the battle pass to earn specific bonuses known as season blessings for all the current season players earn small doing ashes by progressing the battle pass by collecting small doing ashes you can apply bonuses to your seasonal characters these bonuses last for the season and only apply to seasonal characters okay what are tier skips on my life no one asked that nobody asked that did anyone ask that tier skips are currently uh that were applied immediately to obtain 148 in the battle pass nobody asked that not like i pre-purchased the digital deluxe or ultimate edition which came with a battle pass how do i redeem it for season one if you pre-purchase a battle pass the battle pass button in the season section will be replaced by an option to activate either your premium or accelerated battle pass okay cool so back to that link which was this question right here the character and progress on that character is transferred to the eternal realm you can play this character whenever you want in the eternal realm specific season only features will no longer be accessible in the eternal realm for example at the end of season one malignant hearts will disappear and be unslotted from jewelry at the end of the season infested sockets will become normal learn more let's go okay so well met wonder corruption has been fallen sanctuary in the season of malignant the first season of the ablot 4 yes we know what this we know we get new aspects that's what we're good okay so that's the codex season of the malignant theme that's pretty cool i like to look at that a deviant form of lily sinister machinations is that what that says he sounds like that has given birth to a new threat malignant monsters these decaying abominations realm sanctuary in a frenzy mindlessly attacking anyone in range without hesitation wonderers will investigate the mysterious malay in the new questline with the help of colmord a former priest under cathedral light who also trains you to capture the malignant hearts fueling these foul beasts and convert them into a build all dream powers the malignancy that's taken hold of the burning house armies cannot remain unchecked you must sniff it out at the source before all of sanctuary becomes it's full okay so we've seen that transmute malignance into vengeance that's pretty why it's badass looking people okay so to keep up with the relentless animosity of malignant monsters you need to turn their hearts against them slain partly corrupted enemies a type of malignant monster will drop a malignant heart these can be captured by performing a ritual the cage of binding an item acquired during the season of well during the season's questline partly corrupted enemies are an unruly sort and won't go down easily trying to capture the heart will cause a partly corrupted enemy to be reborn as a fully corrupted enemy if defeated these amorganizations of rot will drop a version of the malignant heart that can be placed into special infested sockets in your jewelry in place of a normal gem that's cool the first season will introduce 32 malignant hearts across four categories that provide new unique bonuses as you encounter more medicine malignant creatures so too will the strength of their malignant hearts grow there's much more to share on the season's theme and we cannot wait to do so in the future okay cool one of the best places to acquire malignant hearts are in the new malignant tunnels highly replayable dungeons teaming with fearsome foals to eradicate skull this dank system of tunnels for the catalyst of malignant monsters and go toe to toe against varsha and the consumed the newest boss battle if you dare okay so how seasonal character works okay so we're seeing on the screen now okay so yes we can see all this we get all this we get all that people okay so we've seen the malignant beginning the 20th of july we wanted to take a moment to equip you with everything you need to know about seasons to participate in seasons a new character must be made on the seasonal realm you do not need to purchase a battle pass or add any add-ons to play the seasonal content but you must have completed the campaign on either the eternal or seasonal realm with at least one character once you have completed the campaign any seasonal character will start the game with the option to skip the campaign your map available immediately or previously discovered all to live unlocked and the corresponding renown for them or previously discovered areas on the map reviewed and a corresponding renown for them okay once the season has ended the character you made and its progression will be transferred to the eternal realm all items you collected into including your seasonal stash will be transferred to you can take this character into sanctuary and if you please but season specific features such as malignant hearts will no longer be accessible that makes sense our beliefs behind seasons seasons provide us with an opportunity to introduce innovative uh gameplay mechanics in sanctuary for a limited time because seasons reset we can create crazy fun season themes and their vacuum without needing to worry about balancing yeah it with the mechanics introduced in the past or future seasons we can start will be start from a strong eternal realm baseline and build on top of it seasons are also a place for players to explore in tinker we encourage you to try a new class or different builds for a class you've gone well grown fond of our seasons are a chance to get creative while demolishing demons additional seasons present an equal playing field our seasons are designed for new characters to conquer the nightmarish challenges brought by a season's theme and to progress through the seasonal journey together okay so earn rewards with the season journey and battle pass okay so cool so what we are seeing here okay so yes yes i would actually need to pause the video and take a quick look at this but i kind of get what we're seeing here i don't want to waste much more of your time this video has been going on long enough i'm not too sure about that okay so that's cool as you hunt down malignant monsters for their building enhancing hearts and partner with common to discover the source of the corruption your early wars from the season journey and battle pass the season journey is broken into chapters and tests to complete as you progress through the journey your every was befitting sanctuaries defender such as new legendary aspects a mastery title a scroll of amnesia which provides a free skill tree and power gone board reset so that's pretty cool don't question that bomb it's gonna well not too much the the skill tree but a power gone board reset i mean i do it man unslide if i hopefully this is one button to just reset the whole thing you gotta go through every single node man it's long the journey also provides favor to resource you to climb through the battle past years which is also a naturally by playing the game whether it be killing demons completing quests and more so here's a snippet of the actual battle pass pretty cool looking good looking like quite simple to be honest basic okay so the season malignant battle pass begins july 20th we know this and host 90 tears we know this 23 three tears and 463 premium tears okay so we know all this too we've read all about all that we know about all that we know about everything
