The realm of Sanctuary is a place filled with magic, mystery, and power. As an adventurer, the most potent tool at your disposal is the Codex of Power - an ancient tome brimming with Legendary Aspects. The Codex offers you a baseline selection of effects that can be imprinted on your items after completing specific Dungeons. As your ally in the struggle against evil, it guides you in your quest to become the ultimate champion.
Using the Codex of Power
Navigating to the Dungeons to unlock Legendary Aspects has never been easier. With the Codex of Power, you can track the Aspect you want by simply clicking on it. The game map will generate a path leading you straight to the dungeon harboring the power.
While the convenience of the Codex is unquestionable, it comes with limitations that make the acquisition of a Legendary Item still an appealing challenge. For instance, not all Aspects from each Legendary can be found within the Codex. Also, the Aspects imprinted from the Codex are automatically at their lowest roll possible. Therefore, if you're seeking to maximize your character's potential, you will still need to engage in the timeless tradition of destroying hordes of the hellspawn and unearthing their treasures.
Legendary Aspect Categories
Legendary Aspects are not one-size-fits-all. They are divided into categories, and depending on the category, they can be imprinted on different item slots. This variety encourages strategic thinking about your build instead of mindlessly loading every item with damage multipliers. The categories include:
- Offensive: 1H Weapon, 2H Weapon, Gloves, Ring, Amulet
- Defensive: Helm, Chest Armor, Pants, Amulet
- Resource: Ring
- Utility: Helm, Chest Armor, Boots, Gloves, Amulet
- Mobility: Boots, Amulet
