A new wave-based feature, “Infernal Hordes,” has emerged in the realms of Sanctuary, challenging players to face relentless demonic invasions. Available in both Seasonal and Eternal realms starting in World Tier III after completing a questline, players can battle these hordes solo or with friends. The feature offers “Infernal Offerings,” allowing players to choose between a boon and a bane to augment their run, making the challenge more rewarding and difficult.
As players fight through the densely packed demons in the Realm of Hatred, they collect Burning Aether, a vital resource for unlocking bountiful rewards. At the end of their run, they face the Fell Council, formidable corrupted priests with unique attacks. Successfully completing the final wave grants access to the “Spoils of Hell,” containing valuable materials, gold, and rare items, including new Uniques and Legendaries.
A new variant of the notorious Butcher may also appear, adding to the challenge. To access the Infernal Hordes, players need Infernal Compasses, which scale in intensity and can be crafted or earned through various end-game content. Abyssal Scrolls can also upgrade these compasses while exploring Sanctuary.
Players must navigate the hazards of the Infernal Hordes, managing limited revives and facing increasing challenges as they progress. The rewards are significant for those who can withstand the trials, making this feature a thrilling new addition to the game.
