Summary
While trying out the new features and changes coming toDiablo 4on the Public Test Realm (PTR), some players discovered a major change that will impact Helltide events. As the PTR allows players to test the new mechanics fromDiablo 4Season 4, this change to Helltide events should soon be available for all players on theDiablo 4main servers.
Less than a year after its original launch,Diablo 4still gathers a faithful community of players eager to discover the themed seasons unveiled by Blizzard every three months. The latest release,Diablo 4Season 3, introduced a new quest line centered around the demon Malphas and mysterious Constructs. Besides this new quest line, the seasonal dungeons, and the new Battle Pass, one of the most popular endgame activities inDiablo 4are Helltide events where hordes of demons flood a specific part of Sanctuary. Players brave enough to kill them receive Aberrant Cinders, a currency used to open special chests called Tortured Gifts and receive powerful items.
As theDiablo 4Season 4 PTR will close its doors on April 9, a Reddit user known as Atsnal shared a discovery they made about a new change impactingDiablo 4Helltide events. While exploring a cellar during a Helltide event, they found a consumable that increases Helltide monster level and Aberrant Cinder drops, hinting at a major change coming to this endgame activity. This buff not only means that a new kind of consumable will be available inDiablo 4, but that Helltide events will be harder in Season 4 and drop more loot for players ready to tackle this challenge.
