This season will introduce Terror Zones and Sundering Charms, helping you battle foes that cross your path! For those new to Ladder Seasons, you might be wondering what happens to your Shared Stash loot once the current season ends. Once Ladder Season One ends, all Ladder characters will transfer to their respective non-ladder group. All items in that character group\u2019s shared stash go into a new Withdraw Only set of Shared Stash tabs, denoted by a check marked Past box. Players can withdraw any items they would like to keep throughout all of Ladder Season Two. When the season ends, this withdraw-only set of stash tabs will be overridden with any items in the Ladder Season Two Shared Stash. Make sure you retrieve any items before then or they will be lost forever!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/D2R_Patch_2_5_ScreenShot_1920x1080_1-e80c963b943ca3b18d1a.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Diablo II: Resurrected Ladder Season 2\" class=\"wp-image-187396\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n<h2><strong>Terror Zones<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n<p>&nbsp;To make the journey to level 99 accessible to a larger population of players, offer more variety other than repeatedly farming Baal, Diablo, and Nihlathak, and most importantly, remain challenging, <strong>Terror Zones<\/strong> have been introduced. When playing a Terror Zone-enabled game, every hour, diabolical tremors infused with the Lord of Destruction\u2019s unwavering corruption overtake specific zones, terrorizing the monsters within, making them at least two levels higher than your current level or their original level, up to a maximum per difficulty. The XP received and loot dropped by killing terrorized monsters will be based on this new level. You can visit our latest <a href=\"https:\/\/news.blizzard.com\/diablo2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog<\/a> for even more details on how monster levels will be impacted.<\/p>\n<p>To <strong>unlock the Terror Zones feature<\/strong>, you must defeat Baal per character, per difficulty using any expansion character \u2013 existing characters that have already fulfilled the requirements will automatically have this feature unlocked. Once Ladder Season Two begins, players will need to meet those unlock requirements to experience Terror Zones on their new ladder characters. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n<h2><strong>New Sundering Charms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n<p>In Hell difficulty, monsters can receive resistance increases above 100%, making those monsters immune to specific damage types. Previously there were only a handful of ways to reduce a monster\u2019s immunity, which means only a small portion of hero builds could successfully farm all zones. To solve this scenario and promote increased class build diversity, we\u2019ve introduced <strong>six Sundering Charms<\/strong> that allow the player to break specific monster immunity types while the charm is in the inventory of new Ladder characters. Keep your wits about you, for these new unique charms will only drop from Terrorized monsters of Champion, Unique, Superunique, or Boss difficulty.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Patch 2.5, Ladder Season 2, and all the latest<strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-us\/games\/store\/diablo-ii-resurrected\/9nbjg075jfj5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Diablo II: Resurrected<\/a><\/em><\/strong> news, visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/news.blizzard.com\/diablo2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"msp1660592540378\" class>\n<div class=\"ms-product-badge mspb-large\" data-product-id=\"9nbjg075jfj5\">\n<div class=\"mspb-primary-image\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/store\/apps\/9nbjg075jfj5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/store-images.s-microsoft.com\/image\/apps.27541.14357505034575924.27607c86-9992-48ed-bec3-f49a9af6a5d8.c3d9452f-19db-4fd6-9cfa-b95db18957d4?w=400&amp;h=600\" alt=\"Diablo\u00ae II: Resurrected\u2122\" class=\"skip-lazy\"> <\/a> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-details\">\n<div class=\"mspb-feature-badges\">\n<div class=\"mspb-feature-badge xbox-live\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assets.onestore.ms\/cdnfiles\/sfw-service-web-onestore-onerf-2017-11-8-12\/store\/common\/images\/xbllogo_black.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"Xbox Live\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Diablo\u00ae II: Resurrected\u2122<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mspb-secondary-details\">\n<div class=\"mspb-left-container\">\n<p>Blizzard Entertainment<\/p>\n<div class=\"mspb-rating\">\n<div> <span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span><span>\u2606<\/span> <span class=\"mspb-total-ratings\">672<\/span> <\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-full-stars\"> <span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span><span>\u2605<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mspb-right-container\">\n<div class=\"mspb-description\"> Diablo\u00ae II: Resurrected\u2122 is the definitive remastering of Diablo\u00ae II and its Lord of Destruction\u00ae expansion\u2014two hallmark entries in Blizzard Entertainment\u2019s genre-defining action role-playing series.
