The recent Developer Campfire Chat has announced some of the upcoming changes to Diablo 4, which are simply massive in scope. There are barely any systems that are left untouched — and one of these sweeping reworks targets the Helltide event, which is getting considerable quality of life and mechanical changes!
Itemization Update Summary — Diablo 4 Season 4 Legendary and Unique Drops Tradeable in Season 4
A number of these much-needed changes are brand new, but some bear direct inspiration from the popular Blood Harvest event from Season 2 — read on to find out more.
As players kill Demons, complete events, and everything else they can do during the Helltide, the forces of Hell will begin to take notice of their actions. As the Threat Meter fills, Demons will ambush players with increasing numbers and intensity.
Upon filling the threat meter completely, a sound will play alongside a notification on the screen signaling the beginning of Hell's directed assault. Helltide Harbingers will begin to spawn, alongside significantly more Monsters and Elite Monsters.
This demonic assault will continue as the Threat Meter drains over time. At the end of this event a new enemy type called the Hellborne will appear to attack the player with dark, shadowy versions of player skills. Once slain, the Hellborne will drop Legendary Items as well as Exquisite Blood in order to summon Vampire Lord Zir.
As players progress through the Helltide, they will start to acquire a rare summoning material that can be used to summon The Bloodmaiden, a new public event boss. While we don't know much about this boss yet, we'll update with the latest information once we hear more — stay tuned!
The Helltide is certainly on the rise in Season 4. With the new Threat System, huge changes to Monster density, the inclusion of Helltide to World TIers 1 & 2, and more, the event should be much more enjoyable and beneficial to participate in. What changes to Helltides are you most excited about? Let us know in the comments below!
