Diablo 4 Season 5, Season of the Infernal Hordes is releasing in a week on August 6, 2024. Along with the wave-based survival mode, there are a lot of other things that you can look forward to when the season finally goes live in the RPG.
These include a new questline, a new set of Uniques and Legendaries, as well as a new class. However, to have an easier time dealing with the Infernal Hordes you will need to be properly prepared before the season kicks off.
Here is a guide on some of the things that you might want to do to be properly ready for Diablo 4 Season 5, Season of the Infernal Hordes.
Best Diablo 4 Season of the Infernal Hordes prep guide
1) Complete the Campaign
The first thing that you will need to do before the start of any new season is to complete the campaign. Once you have finished the main questline in Diablo 4, you will get to unlock the “skip campaign” feature when Infernal Hordes drops.
This will prevent you from getting gatekept in the new season and you can start exploring the new content in Sanctuary right away.
Additionally, finishing the campaign will allow you to get your hands on a mount. As a part of Doran’s Favor questline in Act Four, you get to have a mount in the game which will then make it much easier to unlock all the waypoints in the Seasonal Realm.
2) Make sure to unlock all Renown Rewards
You will be able to unlock a total of 2000 Renown per region which will help bring the total to 10,000. So once you have gotten your on all of them you will be able to unlock the following bonuses for your characters:
- +10 Skill Points
- +5 Potion Capacity
- +20 Paragon Points
- +400 Max Obols capacity.
Skill Points and Potion Capacity are very important to help your character have a significantly easier time in completing the various objectives in Diablo 4 Season of the Infernal Hordes.
Also do keep in mind that while the Renown bonuses that you unlock will be available to you across every season, you will need to hit the tiers again to gain the bonus XP and Gold rewards.
3) Discover 100% of the map to unlock all the waypoints
Unlocking the entirety of Sanctuary is also important before a new season starts in Diablo 4. It will help you have an easier time navigating when completing quests in Season of the Infernal Hordes.
If you were able to unlock every major region on the Eternal Realm, you will gain access to atleast two waypoints in these regions in the Seasonal Realm.
You will be able to fast travel to these waypoints when the season begins and you will not have to ride out to the locations from Kyovashad on horseback.
4) Unlock all bonuses from the Altars of Lilith
Finding Altars of Lilith will unlock special bonuses for your character in Diablo 4. So make sure to unlock all of them that are strewn across Sactuarry to provide your characters with that much-needed buff.
There are a total of 160 Altar of Lilith statues, and unlocking them all provides you with the following bonuses:
- 68 Strength
- 68 Intelligence
- 68 Willpower
- 68 Dexterity
- 100 Murmuring Obols capacity
- 4 Paragon Points
Finding the Altars and completing missions in a region will also gain you extra skill and Paragon points. These are important to your endgame progression and all of these stats will carry over to the Seasonal Realm from the Eternal Realm.
This will make completing all the map tasks in Diablo 4 Season of the Infernal Hordes much easier.
