Season of Hatred Rising

  • The following changes have been implemented for the Realmwalker event:
    • Realmwalker no longer reduces spawns if only one person is following it.
    • Increased max spawns allowed at a time to 20, previously 15.
    • Increased the base movement speed of the Realmwalker by around 15%.
    • Every time you kill a wave of Bloodbound Guardians, the Realmwalker’s movespeed increases by 10%. For example: If you kill all 3 waves of Bloodbound Guardians, the Realmwalker will move 30% faster, in addition to the 15% base increase.
  • The Realmwalker now has a low chance to summon a Treasure Goblin.
  • Removed 1 Hatred Spire from the Ritual phase of the event in Nahantu. Three Hatred Spires will still spawn when the event occurs in Estuar, the continent home to the 5 Regions of Diablo IV’s base game.
