Diablo 4’s first big update, Vessel of Hatred, is here, bringing a new region and class called the Spiritborn along with a fresh season full of activities.
Objectives you complete in future chapters will count, but won’t show up until you reach those chapters.
Chapter 1
Finish 8 out of 10 tasks to complete this chapter.
Tasks for Chapter 1:
- Spoils of Hell: Find 1 Tortured Gift during the Helltide
- Creeping Hatred: Chat with Crusader Damond in Zarbinzet and get to Rank 1 with the Zakarum Remnants
- Fragrant Find: Gather 10 Angelbreath from places like Harvest Nodes and Cellar Mastery
- Forager: Collect 100 Bundled Herbs from different spots
- What Lurks Below: Finish 3 Cellars
- Den of Evil: Complete 1 Dungeon on your map
- Trouble in the Wilds: Finish 3 World Events
- Wake of Chaos: Defeat 666 minions summoned by the Realmwalker
- Prospector: Collect 100 Iron Chunks from weapons, jewelry, mineral nodes, or other places in Sanctuary
- Tiny Clarity: Upgrade your Potion to Tiny at the Alchemist
Most of these tasks are easy and happen naturally as you play, though some like Helltide or Realmwalker might need extra effort after finishing the campaign to earn rewards. The Zakarum Remnants Rank shows up in several chapters and can be increased by tackling the Realmwalker.
Chapter 1 rewards include:
- Greater Favor (Battle Pass XP)
- First Journey Cache: Holds consumables like Opals, Elixirs, and Whispering Keys
- First Journey Crafting Cache: Contains materials like Herbs and Gem Fragments
- First Journey Equipment Cache: Includes a legendary weapon and gloves for your class
Chapter 2
Complete 8 out of 10 tasks to finish this chapter.
Chapter 2 tasks:
- A Sliver of Light: Reach Rank 3 with the Zakarum Remnants
- Twilight Dream: Get 1 Nightmare Dungeon Sigil
- Harder Than They Look: Beat 666 Monsters on Hard or higher
- Blood From the Stone: Defeat 3 Bloodbound Guardians summoned by the Realmwalker
- Notarized Nuisance: Maximize your Threat Level by defeating monsters during a Helltide
- Expanded Repertoire: Learn 1 Magic recipe or better
- Risk and Reward: Purchase 3 items from the Purveyor of Curiosities
- A Master at Work: Complete 1 World Event with Mastery
- Ruins Reclaimed: Clear 1 Stronghold
- Power in Hate: Collect 10 Seething Opals from Seething Realms after defeating the Realmwalker
These tasks are pretty straightforward, but keep an eye on the Realmwalker events as they connect to multiple goals. The rest can be handled quickly.
Chapter 2 rewards:
- Greater Favor
- Second Journey Cache: Includes consumables like Opals, Elixirs, and Whispering Keys
- Second Journey Crafting Cache: Holds materials like Herbs and Veiled Crystals
- Second Journey Equipment Cache: Provides a legendary weapon, helm, and ring for your class
Chapter 3
Finish 8 out of 10 tasks to complete this chapter.
Chapter 3 tasks:
- Ember of Faith: Reach Rank 5 with the Zakarum Remnants
- A Slight Challenge: Defeat 666 Monsters on Expert or higher
- Gifts of the Ancients: Unlock 10 Aspects in the Codex of Power by completing dungeons or salvaging legendary items
- Basic Needs: Temper 5 Affixes onto gear at the Blacksmith
- Pilgrimage of Nightmares: Complete 5 Nightmare Dungeons
- The Scorned: Defeat 5 Scorned Heroes found in the Seething Realm
- Miracles of Alchemy: Craft 5 Elixirs at the Alchemist
- Deeper Evil Within: Complete any 5 Dungeons on your Map
- Forsaken Offerings: Get 5 caches from the Tree of Whispers
- Damnation’s Downfall: Defeat Helltide Commanders during Helltides, summoned after completing Helltide Events
At this stage, it’s smart to raise the difficulty to Expert for extra XP. People often want to grind the Realmwalker for objectives, and completing Forsaken Offerings can be slow. But doing dungeons that are Whispers can tackle two tasks at once.
Chapter 3 rewards:
- Greater Favor
- Third Journey Cache: Has consumables like Opals, Elixirs, and Whispering Keys
- Third Journey Crafting Cache: Includes materials like Veiled Crystals and Forgotten Souls
- Third Journey Summoning Cache: Contains summoning materials to challenge the Blood Maiden during Helltides
- Third Journey Equipment Cache: Offers a legendary weapon, chest armor, and amulet for your class
Chapter 4
Finish 8 out of 10 tasks to complete this chapter.
Chapter 4 tasks:
- Hard Fought Victory: Complete 1 Legion Event
- Beginning of the End: Reach Level 60
- Light of the Zakarum: Reach Rank 8 with the Zakarum Remnants
- Preamble: Complete Artificer’s Tier 1 or higher in The Pit
- The Harder They Fall: Beat the Realmwalker in Penitent or higher
- Unwanted Visitors: Slay 666 minions summoned by the Realmwalker in Penitent or higher
- Penitential Path: Defeat 666 Monsters in Penitent or higher
- Anathema: Defeat the Blood Maiden during Helltide in Penitent or higher
- Oodles of Opals: Gather 25 Seething Opals from Seething Realms by defeating the Realmwalker
- Champion of the Lost: Clear 3 Strongholds
By this point, cranking up the difficulty to Penitent is necessary. You’ll need to focus on the Realmwalker, and if you’ve not been playing on Penitent, previous efforts won’t help now. For the Blood Maiden, you get summoning materials from earlier rewards, but other players usually help summon her too. Strongholds are valuable since some Nightmare Sigils are locked behind them.

One task requires Torment 2, unlocked by finishing Tier 35 in The Pit, but save that for later. Most bosses are best tackled in Torment 1 unless you’re super strong. Better loot is in Torment 2, but it’s tougher. We might wait until we’re ready.
