Slay Goblins, Get Rewards!
Diablo 4 players have always enjoyed the Midwinter Blight event during the festive season. However, this year, Diablo is celebrating the holidays with a new festive event: the Slay Ride to Hell! Running from December 17, 2024, at 10 AM PST to January 2, 2025, at 10 AM PST, this limited-time event brings plenty of Treasure Goblins and exclusive rewards to Sanctuary, and even more for Vessel of Hatred owners.
Treasure Goblins will appear in higher numbers across the world, carrying loot that is up for the taking! Among the usual Ancestral and Unique items, you can also earn original, event-exclusive cosmetics. Additionally, the event features a tiered reward system based on the global number of Treasure Goblins slain!
Event Overview
- Duration: December 17, 2024, to January 2, 2025.
- Objective: Slay Treasure Goblins across Sanctuary to unlock tiered rewards.
- Rewards: Limited-time cosmetics, boosts, and other exclusives, including a Resplendent Spark for the final tier.
How the Event Works
The goal of this winter event is simple: slay as many Treasure Goblins as possible. All players across Sanctuary will have to work together to hit five global goblin-slaying milestones, with rewards tied to each tier.
- Global Milestones: The community must collectively slay goblins to unlock rewards up to five tiers.
- Exclusive Cosmetics: Festive cosmetics can be unlocked by reaching Tier 3-5.
Where to Find Goblins
Treasure Goblins will appear in greater numbers throughout Sanctuary, so keep your eyes open while exploring!
For players who own Vessel of Hatred, even more goblins will spawn and can be hunted down in Nahantu, along with additional rewards. If you buy the expansion during the event, you will gain retroactive access to these extra goblin hunts and reward caches.
Once milestones are unlocked, you can visit the Goblin Square in Kyovashad to claim your rewards!
Reward Tiers
The rewards for the event are tied to five tiers of global goblin-slaying milestones. Each tier unlocks a cache of rewards, which can be claimed from the Goblin Square.
