Events in the World
Events can be found scattered throughout Sanctuary. A player simply needs to either start an event or join an event that is currently activated by other players.
Events are indicated on the map (see interactive map) and can include the following:
Ancent Obelisk
Click the Obelisj at the center of the event space. Quickly stand on all four pressure pads while defeating the spawned enemies. Once all four plates have been stood on, defeat the Elite monster. You must also beat the timer.
Ancient Syphon
Kill enemies in proximity to syphons in the event area. Mastery is unlocked by satiating three syphons within the time limit.
Cull the Wicked
Defeat all the enemies in the event zone.
Defiled Ground
Defeat the channelers to disrupt their ritual and survive the assault.
Hold your Ground

Events During Seasons
Live events will challenge players to tackle specific challenges as they happen in the open world. Any player in the vicinity of an Event can join the battle at any point and receive reward when the event is completed.
Sanctuary is a living world filled with people, creatures, and factions striving to meet their own ends. Attentive players should be on the lookout for new live events that will crop up each season. An example of a live event might be the warning of an impending invasion of the Drowned, which may last a weekend, or the arrival of a strange peddler amidst the crags of the Dry Steppes. These events provide gateways to new adventures and unique rewards.
Legion Events
The Legion Events spawn every 25 minutes throughout Sanctuary and they are a great way to gain rewards and XP quickly.
Seasonal Events
Diablo 4 also features Seasonal Events (not to be confused with Seasons). The first Seasonal Event added to the game was Midwinter Blight on 12 December 2023.
