Seneschal Upgrade Glitch - Unable to Advance in Seasonal Questline

Season of The Construct has arrived, bringing forth new challenges for Diablo players. However, it seems that a bug has appeared, hindering the progress of some players in upgrading their Seneschal Companion. Nevertheless, fear not, as a workaround has been discovered to rectify this issue.

Bug Hindering Seneschal Companion Upgrade

One Reddit user, johnieboy82, recently reported a bug that prevents them from upgrading their Seneschal Companion to complete one of the objectives in the Drums of the Vault Seasonal Quest. This unexpected bug not only obstructs the upgrading process of the electric companion but also hampers players' progression through the Seasonal Questline. Surprisingly, Blizzard had already acknowledged a bug associated with this quest, but for a different reason, as it was causing Local Co-Op crashes on console platforms.

Several other players have also encountered this issue, indicating that it affects a significant number of Diablo enthusiasts. It's frustrating to have your progress halted due to a bug, but fortunately, the development team at Blizzard is aware of the problem and actively working to fix it. Lyricana, the Diablo Community Manager, has assured players that the team is diligently investigating the matter.

The Workaround for Upgrading Seneschal

While the Diablo development team is striving to resolve the bug, Marcus Kretz, another Diablo Community Manager, has provided a temporary solution. Kretz posted on the official Diablo forums, outlining a workaround to bypass the upgrade issue with the Seneschal Companion.

According to Kretz, players experiencing difficulties in upgrading their Seneschal Companion should follow these steps:

1. Leave the current instance.
2. Use the Waypoint from Gatehall to travel to a different location.
3. Log out of the game.
4. Log back in and return through the doorway into Gatehall.

It is important to note that this workaround may not work for every player. However, it is certainly worth attempting if you find yourself unable to progress otherwise. Hopefully, this solution will allow affected players to continue their journey without further hinderance.

The Future of Seneschal Upgrades

As the development team works diligently to resolve the bug, players can remain hopeful for a swift patch that will enable them to upgrade their Seneschal Companions smoothly. In the meantime, it is important to explore alternative solutions, such as the workaround provided by Marcus Kretz, to overcome any obstacles faced during this Season of The Construct.

Final Thoughts

Despite encountering this unexpected bug, the Season of The Construct introduces new exciting challenges and experiences for Diablo players. With the development team's dedication to resolving the issue and the availability of workarounds, players can confidently navigate through the Seasonal Questline and unlock the full potential of their Seneschal Companions.
