Diablo 4 Season 3: Governing and Tuning Stones Guide

In Diablo 4 Season 3, players can get a new seasonal companion called the Seneschal Companion. This mechanical ally will become your best friend in dire combat scenarios. It has a completely customizable ability set. Your Seneschal Companion can be equipped with Governing Stones and Tuning Stones that shape how it performs in Diablo 4 combat. Governing Stones will determine what base abilities your companion uses. Tuning Stones will augment those abilities with additional uses and effects. So in this guide, we will show you all their effects and how to get them.

There are 12 "governing" stones and 27 "tuning" stones of varying rarity. They can be acquired in a few different ways. Complete Vaults to earn one random Tuning Stone and seek out Wardwoven Chests to earn additional Tuning Stones– both of which can be earned through various levels of the Season Journey. Both types also have a low chance to appear as drops when playing Vaults and Arcane Tremors. Defeating enemy Constructs within the Vaults will also grant Shattered Stone, which can be crafted into Governing and Tuning Stones at Jewelers found throughout Sanctuary.

Each Seneschal Companion can be equipped with 2 Governing Stones that determine its attack skills and 3 Tuning Stones that will amplify their abilities. We have listed all the Governing and Tuning Stones below.
