Diablo 4 2025 Roadmap Preview Seasonal Content And Date: What Content Is Looking Forward To?

In order to ensure the freshness and fun of the game, Diablo 4 always adds various new events or challenges in the new season, and sets generous rewards in them, so that you can earn enough Diablo 4 Gold for your character while carrying out exciting adventures. For example, in Season 7, which was launched on January 21st not long ago, besides the much-anticipated witchcraft power, it also brought you new challenges like Rootholds dungeon as a seasonal alternative to regular or nightmare dungeons. Because there are new challenges and bosses in Rootholds dungeon and better rewards, it is necessary to understand some of its mechanisms in advance before taking on the challenge to avoiding losses in the game. Based on this, we will provide you with a guide to exploring Rootholds. What Is Rootholds Dungeon? In fact, you can think of Rootholds as the nightmare dungeon of Season 7. While nightmare dungeons are still available in the new season, Rootholds are more worth the effort, as they have a much higher chance of dropping Diablo 4 Gold and other rewards than regular dungeons. And if you run Rootholds after unlocking at least Torment I, you also have a chance to get Ancestral Uniques. You need to find Rootholds before you can enter them, and to do this, you must first obtain a special item called Whispering Woods. However, this item is a bit tricky to get, and you can only find some after you complete seasonal Grim Favors and open Silent chests. And even more, unfortunately, the drops from Whispering Woods are not guaranteed, so if you are unlucky, you may need to complete several Grim Favors to get one. But since collecting Whispering Woods is the only way to enter Rootholds, make an effort to collect them and save them carefully. Where Is Rootholds Dungeon? When you have collected enough Whispering Woods as keys to enter Rootholds, you can activate them in your inventory and then activate regular dungeons into Rootholds just like you would nightmare dungeons. Once Rootholds appear, you can open the map in-game and teleport directly into that dungeon from your current location. These Rootholds will spawn anywhere on the map depending on your key, so be prepared. How To Explore Rootholds? If you’ve played Diablo 4 in the past and explored Infernal Hordes dungeon, everything about Rootholds may be familiar to you. After first entering Rootholds and going through the first passage, you’ll see several Enchanted Roots when you reach the surface. Each of these Enchanted Roots can act as a modifier to the root fortress, giving you a different difficulty level of Rootholds. Two of the four roots will give you easier modifiers, while the other two are more challenging. Usually you have to choose a modifier to further explore Rootholds, but it’s recommended to choose up to two if possible. Because if you choose a more difficult modifier, you can get more rewards after completing Rootholds. Next, after passing through the main gate, you should see certain points of interest on the mini-map, and approaching any of them you will find an Exposed Root as the source of a huge reward. Clicking on them will spawn a group of enemies in the game, and they will drop many unique items for you. And if you play Rootholds on Torment I difficulty or higher, you can also find Ancestral Uniques by clicking on Exposed Roots. It is worth noting that every enemy spawned by Rootholds is also Headrotten, so you can also get a lot of Restless Rot by clearing these dungeons - it is the exclusive currency of Season of Witchcraft. In fact, with enough Restless Rot, you can upgrade the witchcraft power or obtain the elusive unique witchcraft power for that season. After you successfully pass through Rootholds, you should encounter a gate with three additional modifiers, and choosing any two of them can further improve the rewards you get and increase the difficulty level, so you can fight all the way to the end. And if you want to get more loot, remember to interact with every Exposed Root you find. All Rootholds Dungeon Rewards After clearing each exposed root, you will go to the end of Rootholds and make Rootholds boss appear by touching the exposed root in the boss room. Most of the time, these bosses appear as headless shells, but sometimes bosses will grow a head, which you can get as a bonus after killing the boss with a head. These heads can be used to craft Occult gems, and after you put the gems in your jewelry slots, your character will get the final power boost, allowing them to break through as you enter higher Torment difficulties and Pit tiers. Even if the boss you encounter is a normal headless version, the amount of loot dropped after defeating them is still more than the normal Diablo 4 dungeon boss can provide. Rootholds dungeons have a lot of loot, from different levels of equipment to different levels of crafting recipes, which can help you complete the endgame more smoothly. Related: Diablo 4 Promotions & Giveaways Overall, Rootholds are fun, quick to complete, and one of the most rewarding Season Challenges in Season 7, so we strongly recommend you completing them as soon as possible. If you want to get more game props easily besides Rootholds rewards, you can participate in the first giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season 7 currently being held on iGMeet Discord. During the event, we will select 20 lucky players to share 3000 Andariel Materials, 5000 Duriel Materials and 5000 Malignant Heart. I believe you will have this good luck!

The highly anticipated meeting of Diablo 4 Season 5 with many players is officially scheduled for August 6, 2024. From the many known information, players can’t wait to enter the game experience. Among them, the most discussed is Infernal Hordes, which is a wave-based game mode in this season. In the Season 5 PTR some time ago, many players have already experienced this new mode first. This guide will tell you what you will encounter in the official version of Infernal Hordes and how you should deal with it based on the content of the previous PTR. Then come and take a look! What Is Infernal Hordes? Infernal Hordes in Season 5 is a wave-based combat activity with a little rogue-like touch. In this activity, you will be asked to fight against enemies who attack you continuously, and they will even attack you as a wave, which can generate Aetheric Events. As you complete these events, you can earn Boons to increase your combat power. Eventually you’ll face off against Fell Council, and defeating them will earn you the ultimate reward. As you progress through the Tier of Infernal Horde, the number of Waves you need to clear will increase, with one wave added per level. This means you’ll get more Burning Aether from more waves, but the monsters will also become more powerful. How To Enter Infernal Hordes? Before you can enter Infernal Hordes, you’ll need to complete Eyes of Enemy quest near Zarbinzet in Hawezar. You’ll get Locran’s Talisman Unique Amulet and a Tier 1 Infernal Compass at the end of the quest. Remember this Infernal Compass, it’ll be very useful later in your quest. There are 8 levels of Infernal Compasses in Infernal Hordes. The first three are natural drops, and the next 5 require you to use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 3 Compass. Here are the specific levels of Infernal Compasses: Tier 1: Obtained from Whisper Caches, Helltide Chests and Nightmare Dungeons (WT3). You need to fight monsters of level 50-70 here. Tier 2: Obtained from Whisper Caches, Helltide Chests and Nightmare Dungeons (WT4). You need to fight monsters of level 70-100 here. Tier 3: Obtained from Whisper Caches, Helltide Chests and Nightmare Dungeons (WT4 at Level 100). You need to fight monsters of level 100 here. Tier 4: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 3 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 120 monsters. Tier 5: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 4 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 140 monsters. Tier 6: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 5 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 160 monsters. Tier 7: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 6 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 180 monsters. Tier 8: Use Abyssal Scroll to upgrade Tier 7 Compass. Here you need to fight against level 200 monsters. Abyssal Scrolls can be obtained through Spoils of Hell or salvaging Infernal Compasses. But you need to note that the number of Abyssal Scrolls obtained when salvaging is determined by Tier of Compass. Starting from Tier 4, an additional Abyssal Scroll will be added for each level upgrade. How Do Infernal Hordes Waves Work? In Infernal Hordes, each wave consists of a group of enemies who will try their best to defeat you. However, it is always in vain. After you defeat these enemies, Aetheric Events will be generated, and you can get Burning Aether in these events. Remember to save your Burning Aether, which is the most important thing in Infernal Hordes and can be exchanged for Spoils of Hell. Each wave lasts about 2 minutes, and the total game lasts about 10 minutes. There is currently no timer that can be displayed on the screen, but you can set a timer somewhere else, such as your phone, so that there is a certain urgency. Aetheric Events After defeating a certain number of enemies in each wave, you will fill up a meter. After filling, these enemies will spawn some events in the current arena. You need to note that the rewards and difficulty of each event are random, but you can use some Boons after each wave to increase the frequency or value of a certain event. Currently, there are 6 Aetheric Events that will appear. Aether Fiends, Aether Lords, Aetheric Masses, Burning Butcher, Hellborne, and Soulspires. Aether Fiends Aether Fiends are very common Elite Monsters. The difference between them and other Aetheric Events is that they will drop some Burning Aether after death. If your class or build cannot easily fight against the boss, you can use Boons to increase the frequency of this event, so that you can get more Burning Aether. But you should also be reminded that not all Aether Fiends are easy to deal with. Some of the rarer ones may make Infernal Horde more difficult. For example, Rashibosh can cause fire damage in a large area, so please be well protected before preparing for the battle. Aether Lords Aether Lords are an upgraded version of Dungeon and Stronghold Bosses in the game, and include all boss types. However, Endgame Boss Ladder is not included. Although you may have seen them in previous seasons and know what their attacks are, you still can’t take them lightly because there are some recent attacks. Most of these additional attacks are an AOE damage or crowd control. Once you reach Tier 3 and above, you will need to use some weapons and builds that can deal with super high damage and make the most of them. As a result, you will get a lot of Burning Aether and a lot of Diablo 4 Gold after defeating Aether Lords. Unlike other Aetheric Events, Aether Lords will only appear when you using Boons. Aetheric Mass Aetheric Mass actually works very similar to Corrupted Spires in Helltide. The surrounding space is divided into 6 sections, and it will only attack three of them at a time. So there will be a certain gap between each damage area, and what you need to do is to defeat Aetheric Mass in these gaps. Similarly, after being destroyed, it will also drop Burning Aether. Burning Butcher In previous seasons, Butcher was a must-have in Hell. In the new Infernal Hordes Mode, Butcher takes on a distinct look, as it adds some fire to its gear. Like Aether Lords, you’ll need to prepare all the gear that can deal with high damage before fighting Burning Butcher. Usually, you will get 25 or more Burning Aether after defeating Burning Butcher. Hellborne You may have seen Hellborne in previous seasons, but unlike Butcher, it has not changed much this season. Hellborne here usually appears in groups of 2 or 3 at a time, so you need to choose weapons or builds that can deal group damage or crowd control. You don’t have to worry about the number of Burning Aethers dropped, because each group will drop Burning Aether after you successfully defeat it, and this event is very reliable, just like Aether Fiends. But you should be aware that Hellborne also requires Boons to appear in Infernal Hordes. Soulspire These are similar to Corrupted Spires in Helltide, but without the health drain. You need to stand near it and defeat a certain number of enemies until it explodes, and you can eventually pick up Burning Aether. Boons Boons in Infernal Hordes always have a duality. You can use them to increase the frequency of a certain event, but you can also increase the strength of the enemies in the event. It depends on which you want more. Fell Council Fell Council is a variation of Council in Diablo 2 that was corrupted and twisted because of Mephisto’s influence. In Diablo 4 Season 5’s Infernal Hordes, the 5 Council members have original attacks, but similarly, each Fell Council can summon Hydras with unique characteristics. You can fight 3 random Hydras after Infernal Hordes ends. This means that you need to be well prepared so that you can quickly enter the battle. The above is some introduction to the new Infernal Hordes Mode in Diablo 4 Season 5. In anticipation, players are welcome to join the player community in Discord to express some insights and opinions. In addition, you can also receive welfare information released by iGMeet Discord while waiting for the official release of Season 5! Come and participate!

Diablo 4’s second Public Test Realm (PTR) will be officially launched from June 25 to July 2, providing players with an opportunity to test the fresh changes and features of Season 5 in advance. Then the developers will adjust the feedback from players and finally present the best Diablo 4 Season 5 to players! The following are the new events you can experience in Season 5 PTR. I believe you will definitely be impatient, right? Then let’s have a look! Eternal Questline: Eyes Of The Enemy Season 5 tells a new story - enemies are eliminated, changes occur within the alliance, and you will find an unexpected friend emerging from the shadows. So there will also be a new Questline in PTR. It mainly occurs after Main Questline event, and can be used in Seasonal and Eternal Realms, and there is no need to worry that it will disappear after the end of Season 5. It will remain in Eternal realm. Season 5’s Main Questline requires you to travel to Hawezar in World Tier III and investigate the unrest among the inhabitants of the city there. Once you’ve completed it, you can fight the Infernal Hordes, a new game activity added in Season 5. It’s important to note that this quest only needs to be completed once on your account and does not require a new character to perform. Fighting With Infernal Hordes Some players found Helltides very difficult in previous seasons, but in Season 5, it’s just waiting for the horror to begin. In Realm of Hatred, you’ll fight against the seemingly ever-growing Hell’s Legions, and beware that they’re getting stronger every day. You can kill the demons in Infernal Hordes activity, and after completing it, you can get Burning Aether, which will help you unlock more powerful weapons or more rewards. In addition, you can fight a powerful Fell Council. Enter Realm Of Hatred With Infernal Compass So how can you enter Realm of Hatred? You need to use a tool called Infernal Compass. There are two ways to get this Diablo 4 Item - the first is that you have a chance to get them as rewards after defeating Endgame Bosses, Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, and Whispers. The second way is a little easier. Just complete the latest Eternal quest to get them. Infernal Hordes What you need to pay attention to in Infernal Hordes is that it is time-limited, and each wave only lasts 90 seconds. When you finish a wave, you can collect Burning Aether, which can be used in Infernal run. After each wave of 90 seconds is over, you need to kill the remaining enemies and choose between three Infernal Offers. After making your choice, the next wave of attacks begins. After you successfully kill all the attacks in all waves in Tier, you can fight the Fell Council! After defeating it, you will also receive Burning Aether, which can be exchanged for Spoils of Hell. Infernal Offer As mentioned earlier, after each wave, there will be three different Infernal Offers that can provide you with Boons and Banes, which can play a big role in your battle. For example, when Elite damage increases, Elites will give you more Burning Aether. Remember to choose clearly. Infernal Offers will continue to accumulate as you fight Infernal Hordes, and you can activate multiple. Infernal Offers will also help you increase the difficulty of the battle, but will give you more Burning Aether. But be careful, it is better to be moderate, don’t be too aggressive. Burning Aether As just introduced, Burning Aether is mainly obtained by killing Aether Fiends and Aether Lords in Realm of Hatred. In addition, you can also destroy Soulspires and Aetheric Masses, both of which can allow you to obtain Burning Aether. It is important to remind you that Burning Aether is obtained individually, whether you play alone or with friends. This also makes it easier for you to think about how to use it when you are ready to use it at the end of the run. Spoils Of Hell Spoils of Hell are mainly unlocked by Burning Aether, and there will be four different Spoils of Hell for you to choose from. Spoils of Equipment Spoils of Materials Spoils of Gold Spoils of Greater Equipment Fighting With Fell Priests If you are lucky enough to survive Infernal Hordes, Fell Council awaits you. These noble priests were originally created to protect players from Prime Evil Mephisto in Diablo 2. Unfortunately, they were corrupted and assimilated into the demons they had been fighting. There are 5 Fell Council Members in Fell Priests, each with unique abilities. When you start to prepare to fight a Fell Council, they will send 3 members to fight you. This is all random, so you need to be careful of their unique combination of abilities. Once you have done enough damage to Fell Council, especially when their health is low, priests’ attacks will become more frenzied. You must always be vigilant if you want to survive. New Weapons And Items Because the furnaces in Burning Hell burn so vigorously, the weapons they create also have surprising abilities. Many of the new Legendaries, Uniques, and items in Season 5 are created here. These items are mainly dropped from the remains of enemies in the Sanctuary, but they are most likely to be obtained in the Infernal Hordes mentioned above. Experience Endgame Bosses In Season 5 PTR, you no longer need to reset the dungeon to achieve the result of killing the same boss repeatedly. You only need to see the summoning Altar automatically appear after killing a boss and use more resources to kill the boss again. Also, Malignant Hearts are only required to summon Varshan, and Trembling Hands, Blackened Femurs, and Gurgling Heads are no longer required. In addition, Endgame Bosses will drop additional Diablo 4 Gold, making these items no longer rare items. Next, introduce a few Endgame Bosses, so that you can learn more about them and better defeat them in future battles. Beast In Ice Beast in Ice boss fight has now been moved to the standard dungeon, so you don’t need to craft a sigil to enter. However, if you already have Beast in Ice sigils obtained from the Seasonal Realm or Eternal characters, remember to keep them. You don’t need to use any materials to enter the battle with Beast in Ice. Loot Rewards In Season 5 PTR, the Resplendent Spark you get after defeating Tormented bosses is now available in both Hardcore and non-Hardcore. Note that Resplendent Sparks and Scattered Prisms will no longer be automatically looted, but don’t worry about missing them, as any items you didn’t get to pick up will be found in the lost items Stash. Treasure Goblins In previous games, the loot quality of Treasure Goblins has been criticized by players. This time in Season 5 PTR, some improvements have been made. Now you can drop 1-3 Legendary Items and 2-6 Rare Items, and the number of these two items is proportional. The more Legendary Items you get, the more Rare Items you will get. Not only has the quality been improved in a lot of ways that players have wanted, but there are also some specific items that have appeared, such as Common Ore, Herbs, Leather, and Gem Fragments, and even Diablo 4 Gold. For example, in World Tier I, you get 40k Gold; in World Tier IV, you get 150k Gold. In addition to the items just mentioned, Treasure Goblins also drop Forgotten Souls. In addition, in World Tier I and II/World Tier III/World Tier IV, there is a 10/20/30% chance of dropping 1-2 Scattered Prisms. We have introduced so many details about Diablo 4 Season 5 PTR. Let’s look forward to its release on June 25! We look forward to your more feedback to make Season 5 better.

Now that Diablo 4 Season 5’s PTR is in full swing, players are inspecting what changes will be available to them throughout the game. In player feedback, some Unique gear and every Legendary Aspect have surprised players. This means that players can create more new build crafting options and have more freedom. In addition, the addition of Infernal Hordes has made players more excited. Infernal Hordes is a wave-based game mode in which players make survivor-like choices between waves, ultimately encountering new bosses and earning rewards, including Diablo 4 Gold. New Unique Gear So far, all classes in Diablo 4 have released a Unique Gear for you to use in Season 5. Here are the details of them. Barbarian Unbroken Chain (Armor): When you have Unbroken Chain equipped and cast Steel Grasp, the cooldown of your Iron Maelstrom is reduced by 5-10 seconds. And enemies you face will deal 15-30% less damage to you for 6 seconds. Druid Björnfang’s Tusks (Gloves): When you use Cataclysm, you are guaranteed to hit anything in range, and your damage is increased by 40-80% for the duration of the effect. In addition, you gain unlimited Spirit while you have Cataclysm active. Necromancer Path of Trag’Oul (Boots): When you equip this Diablo 4 Item, the range of your Bone Prison traps increases, which means you can trap more enemies. You will also shoot 20-30 Bone Splinters at enemies, and each time you hit a target, your Maximum Essence increases by 2 over 8 seconds. Rogue Shroud of Khanduras (Chest): Although Dark Shroud provides you with 3 seconds of immunity, your Evade cooldown will be increased by 9 seconds. So if necessary, you can equip this chest armor, which allows you to leave a bomb when you use Evade while Dark Shroud is active. This can cause Shadow damage to enemies, and also allows you to get closer to enemies, making it more suitable for melee. Sorcerer Axial Conduit (Pants): Chain Lightning is very useful, which is recognized by players, not only because it can help you find multiple enemies but also because it can release extremely high lightning damage. When Chain Lightning is used, it will constantly surround you. When it returns, it will absorb 6 mana from each active Chain Lightning. At this value of 66, the whole lightning will explode and deal about 270% lightning damage to the enemy. If you don’t have enough mana for it to absorb Chain Lightning, it will fail until the value reaches 66. New Legendary Aspects A lot of new Legendary Aspects were released in Diablo 4 Season 5. Although players believe that Uniques have incomparable rarity, some classes will stand out if Legendary Aspects are added. Barbarian Forward Momentum (Mobility): In this class, knocking back enemies becomes one of the most commonly used skills. In subsequent games, as long as you successfully knock back an enemy, your movement speed will increase by 25%-40% and last for three seconds. Druid Rushing Wilds (Mobility): Similarly, this attribute can also improve your mobility and give you more advantages in battle. When you cast Companion Skill, your movement speed will increase by 5%-15%, up to 45%, and last for 5 seconds. Necromancer Unholy Tether (Mobility): When you cast a Golem’s active ability in previous games, your Golem would become unstoppable and drain the blood of enemies in the area. In Season 5, you will form a bond with it that lasts for 6 seconds and provides you both with 25%-40% movement speed. Inexorable Reaper’s Aspect (Mobility): When you use Inexorable Reaper, Sever skill will cause you to dash forward and attack enemies. This will become a mobility skill that doesn’t require your Essence, but unfortunately, your cooldown will be a bit longer - 22 seconds. Creeping Mist (Mobility): This property reduces the cooldown of your Evade by 25%-35%, allowing you to use Evade during Blood Mist and double your travel distance. You should note that every time you enter or leave Blood Mist, your Evade cooldown will be refreshed. Imperisoned Spirit’s Aspect (Offensive): When talking about equipment, it is mentioned that your Bone Prison traps will trap more enemies, but when Bone Spirit explodes inside, it will explode once more, causing 40%-70% damage. This means that Bone Prison will cause more damage to the enemies trapped inside. Rogue Nebulous Brews (Mobility): This attribute will increase your movement speed when you use a Healing Potion, up to 50%. The most useful thing is that after you move 30 meters, you will also generate a bottle of Healing Potion, so you will collect a lot of Healing Potion repeatedly. Galvanized Slasher’s Aspect (Resource): It’s no secret that you deal damage to enemies when you use your mobile skill, Lucky Hit, but in Season 5, you’ll have a 15%-30% chance to recharge your energy to full, and even increase it by 10-25. Iron Rain (Offensive): In this class, Smoke Grenade allows Rogues to daze enemies for a few seconds by throwing a smoky concoction at them. After improvements, Smoke Grenade also has a 40% chance to generate Arrow Storm, which deals physical damage for 3 seconds after the explosion. Breakneck Bandit’s Aspect (Offensive): When you use Flurry, you unleash a flurry of slashes and slashes that damage enemies in front of you. In Season 5, it deals 15% more damage and has a chance to stun enemies for 3 seconds when it hits. Mired Sharpshooter’s Aspect (Utility): Caltrops is a popular Marksman Skill, and now it has been improved a bit. It can periodically throw 5-20 piercing daggers during its duration, each of which can cause Shadow damage to the enemy. Sorcerer Tenuous Agility: This attribute can be said to be one of the best improvements to Sorcerer, which can increase its movement speed by about 5%. The most exciting thing is that if you don’t use Defensive Skill within 8 seconds, your rewards dropped by the boss will be doubled, not only Diablo 4 Gold. Firebird: In this improvement, you can get Flame Shield Enchantment for free. When it is activated, Meteorites will land around you, causing a lot of Fire damage to the surrounding enemies. Lightning Rod: I just talked about the power of Chain Lightning, but in fact, it can also hit the enemy you are facing directly. When it hits an enemy or boss you control, there is a 15% chance of an additional chain and damage them again. Elemental Acuity: Pyromancy, Shock, or Frost Skill will cause a lot of spells damage, but what you don’t know is that it will also increase your mana regeneration by 10%-20%, and each element can be cast once. When you reach maximum stacks, your total bonus will swell to 60%, or even 120%! Orange Herald: In this class, you can also use a Lucky Hit. But unlike Rogue, it can only reduce your cooldown time, and each cast can only happen once. These are Uniques and Legendary Aspects that have appeared in Diablo 4 Season 5 PTR. We and all players are looking forward to what recent changes will be in the subsequent official Season 5. Diablo 4 Season 5 will be launched on July 17, 2024. Look forward to it together!
