All Diablo 4 Governing Stones & Companion Abilities

In Diablo 4 Season 3, there are a dozen Governing Stones, which players can use to customize their Seneschal Companion with unique abilities. 

Join us, Nephalem, as we discuss everything you need to know about Governing Stones in Diablo 4, including how you can get all of them and their powerful abilities/stats for your little spider/scorpion companion.

How To Get Governing Stones in Diablo 4 S3

Unlike Tuning Stones, which you can get from completing the new Diablo 4 dungeon type, Vaults, you must follow the Seasonal Questline to get Governing Stones, helping Zoltun Kulle in the process.

Diablo 4 players can also craft Governing Stones at the Jewelers of Sanctuary. You must first, however, farm Shattered Stone by defeating the new enemy type, Constructs, which are found in Vaults or new world events, Arcane Tremors!
