Season 5 Highlights
New Storyline:
Season 5 brings an exciting new narrative filled with intense battles, shifting alliances, and unexpected allies. During the PTR, you’ll encounter a new Questline set after the Main Questline, available on both Seasonal and Eternal Realms. This Questline will persist in the Eternal Realm beyond the conclusion of Season 5.
How to Access the New Content:
1. New Questline:
- Location: Hawezar, World Tier III
- Objective:Investigate a disturbance among the cityfolk.
- Unlocks:Completing this Questline will grant you access to the Infernal Hordes, a new gameplay feature. Note that this Quest needs to be completed only once per account.
2. Infernal Hordes:
- Activity:Engage in Infernal Hordes to confront waves of Hell’s minions in the Realm of Hatred. These hordes become increasingly challenging over time.
- Access:Use an Infernal Compass to enter the Realm of Hatred. Obtain Hell Compasses by defeating Endgame Bosses, completing Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, and Whispers. You’ll also receive a Hell Compass upon completing the latest Eternal quest.
- Gameplay: Participate in time-limited waves, each lasting 90 seconds. Collect Burning Aether during these waves, which you’ll spend at the end of a successful Infernal run. At the end of each wave, defeat remaining enemies and choose from three Infernal Offers to influence the next wave.
- Objective:Complete all waves in your Tier to advance to the Well of Hatred and face the Fell Council. Defeating the Fell Council allows you to spend Burning Aether on Spoils of Hell.
Infernal Offers:
