Among the various events available in Diablo 4, the Legion Events stand out. These are recurring group-based activities that offer incredible rewards to players who can achieve mastery quickly enough. Let’s explore what these events entail.
The Nature of Legion Events
Legion Events unfold across vast areas on the world map. When one commences, players will notice red markers and points of interest appearing on their minimap, accompanied by a timer. The primary objective is to defeat the Servants of Hell, powerful entities that manifest after players have eliminated a sufficient number of their minions.
Mastery, Timers, and Group Dynamics
The timer progresses through multiple stages. Each time players slay enough enemies to summon a Servant of Hell, a new timer initiates upon its defeat. Typically, there are three Servants of Hell in each Legion Event. If players fail to vanquish all three before the timer expires, the final boss – an Overlord – will emerge, joined by a standard end-of-dungeon boss.
The more Servants of Hell players defeat before the Overlord’s arrival, the better the loot they’ll receive. Achieving mastery, which usually involves slaying all three Servants, yields the highest rewards.
Tackling these events is significantly easier with a sizable group of players. While forming a party is unnecessary, having multiple allies present expedites the process of summoning the Harbingers. More players equate to covering more ground efficiently, reducing travel time between enemy hordes.
Locating Legion Events
On the main world map, Legion Events are denoted by circular icons. Hovering over these icons provides details about the event and the remaining time until it commences. Akin to World Bosses, a notification appears when a Legion Event countdown begins if players are nearby.
Regardless of location within Sanctuary, the Legion Event icon will be visible on the minimap once an event is active. Recent changes ensure that players can partake in a Legion Event somewhere in the world approximately twice every hour.
Event Locations
Legion Events can occur in various locales across Sanctuary. Some are accessible from the outset, while others become available after liberating specific Strongholds. Common spawn points include:
- Crusader’s Monument and Haunted Wreckage in Hawezar
- Alcarnus and Dilapidated Aqueducts in Kehjistan
- Norgoi Vigil and the Temple of Rot in the Dry Steppes
- Carrownest Ruins in Scosglen
- Kor Dragan in Fractured Peaks
Potential Rewards
Slain enemies during Legion Events yield the usual rewards: experience, gold, and items. Upon defeating the Overlord and dungeon boss, up to three Radiant Chests may appear, contingent on the group’s mastery level.
These chests contain loot from a specialized Legion Event loot table, including high-level gear, materials, and unique cosmetic items and mounts. The coveted Ghastly Reins, which unlock the Spectral Charger mount, can potentially drop from these chests.
Conclusion
Diablo 4‘s Legion Events present an exhilarating cooperative challenge with enticing rewards. Players can secure loot, rare cosmetics, and unique mounts by strategically working together to subdue waves of foes and the formidable Servants of Hell before confronting the final Overlord. Stay vigilant for these events and assemble a capable team to maximize your chances of success.
