How to learn Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4 Season 2
You'll have to track down these powers to begin wielding them, and they won't be difficult to get. You'll get Potent Blood from enemies in Season 2, and those will be spent in the Vampiric Powers tab in the character menu. It'll unlock a random power or power upgrade. Once you have a power, you'll use the Potent Blood to upgrade it further, so make sure you're slaughtering enemies. It'll be a lot easier to do in Season 2, thanks to the Nightmare Dungeon changes.
You can also unlock Vampiric Powers by completing the Season 2 questline and from the Blood Harvest Seasonal Event. We don't yet know what the Blood Harvest event entails, but we'll find out once Season 2 launches. Diablo 4 Season 2 releases October 17.
