Diablo 4 Season 5, Season of the Infernal Hordes, has arrived, bringing a new season activity. The new activity is the Infernal Horde, a Vampire Survivors-inspired mode where you must battle it out with an endless onslaught of enemies for a chance at big rewards. There is also a new season storyline and quests to complete and new Seasonal Journey objectives. There are seven chapters of objectives to complete, with a small bundle of rewards to earn for completing each chapter. These chapters cover all activities from level 1 to 100.
You must complete nine of 11 objectives to complete this chapter.
Chapter 1 objectives:
The objectives for Chapter 1 are all basically freebies. You would have to actively try to avoid most of these to not earn them quickly while playing the game.
Chapter 1 rewards:
You must complete eight of 10 objectives to complete this chapter.
Chapter 2 objectives:
Chapter 2 is also mostly composed of objectives that are relatively simple to complete. Three quick objectives to knock out are Ruins Reclaimed, Den of Evil, and Path to Strength. Ruins Reclaimed tasks you with completing a Stronghold, something you will want to do anyway, since some Nightmare Dungeons are locked behind Strongholds. Den of Evil and Path to Strength are directly tied to each other, since completing a dungeon for the first time unlocks a legendary aspect.
Chapter 2 rewards:
You must complete nine of 11 objectives to complete this chapter.
Chapter 3 objectives:
Chapter 3 is primarily a continuation of objectives in the previous two chapters, which makes it easier to complete some objectives. Completing Dungeons, Hellbreaches, and Strongholds will all have some progress carried over if you completed the earlier objectives, with the same being true for unlocking Aspects. Forsaken Offerings is one of the more time-consuming objectives, since obtaining 5 caches requires you to complete Whispers worth 10 points total five times, which could be time-consuming if you aren’t going out of your way.
Chapter 3 rewards:
You must complete nine of 11 objectives to complete this chapter.
Chapter 4 objectives:
Chapter 4 is where you will have moved on to World Tier 3, increasing the difficulty, unlocking Sacred Legendary items, and unlocking the new activity, Infernal Hordes. While there are a few continued objectives, like unlocking Aspects and obtaining caches from the Tree of Whispers, many of these objectives are focused on World Tier 3 activities. You will need to do the Infernal Hordes and completing Nightmare Dungeons is important for powering up your Paragon Board, so the only objective here to ignore if you want to is defeating Varshan in World tier 3, since you might want to save your summoning materials for World Tier 4.
Chapter 4 rewards:
You must complete eight of 10 objectives to complete this chapter.
Slayer objectives:
Slayer moves you into World Tier 4, the highest difficulty. Some of these objectives, like completing the Tier 21 or higher Nightmare Dungeon, are very simple to complete, since that’s one of the lowest tiers available in World Tier 4. A lot of these objectives are related to Infernal Hordes, so that is where most of your time will be spent. None of these are particularly difficult, although you might want to skip Echoes of the Ancients, since you may have unlocked all of the Aspects for your class that you want to use.
Slayer rewards:
You must complete eight of 10 objectives to complete this chapter.
Champion objectives:
Champion takes us even further into World Tier 4, with tougher objectives and fights. If you have the materials, the two boss fights in this list aren’t overly difficult, especially if you have a few friends to help you at. Completing the first tier of The Pit is also pretty simple and being able to Master Work your gear will make everything else much easier. If you aren’t interested in running the Boss Ladder, that might be a good objective to skip.
Champion rewards:
You must complete eight of 11 objectives to complete this chapter.
Destroyer objectives:
Destroyer is the final chapter and has some time-consuming objectives to reflect that. While many of these will take a ton of time to work through, there are a few that are good to focus on and a few you could potentially skip. Glyphmaster and Horadric Smith are both great ones to focus on, since increasing your Glyph levels and Masterworking your gear will both make you more powerful, making other objectives easier to complete. The Bigger They Are is a great one to ignore, since depending on what time of day you play, you might not be able to participate in world bosses.
