Check icon Equip a Piece of Pact Armor

Check icon Salvage 7 Common Items at the BlacksmithBlacksmith

Minimum Number of Objectives Needed

Players only need to complete 6 out of 8 objectives to claim the reward for this chapter. With that in mind, feel free to skip the 'Complete 2 Dungeons in Dry Steppes'' and ''Complete 3 Priorities or Side Quests'' objectives since those take up the most time.

Focus on Whisper Dungeons or Whisper Cellars

Progressing through the seasonal questline is the fastest way to complete most of these objectives. When doing Dungeon objectives, it is best to complete Whisper Dungeons or Whisper Cellars to be more efficient. You can obtain Caches from the Tree of Whispers while completing those dungeon or cellar objectives. It will allow you to complete the ''Obtain Caches'' objective quicker in Chapter 2 as well.

Check icon Open a Silent Chest

Check icon Complete the Cathedral of Light to unlock the Nightmare World Tier

Check icon Equip a piece of armor with 5 Pacts engraved on it

Minimum Number of Objectives

To complete Chapter 3, we'll have to complete at least 10 out of 13 objectives. Most of the objectives in Chapter 3 involves playing through openworld content such as Blood Harvest, Strongholds, and Tree of Whispers.

Carry a Silent Key

This is a free bonus that you can potentially clear if you're lucky enough while exploring the map. If you happen to encounter a Silent Chest, you'll be immediately able to clear one objectives without issues.

Farm in Blood Harvest Areas

Several objectives require you to do Blood Harvest activities. Reputation Level, Blood Blisters, Vampiric Powers to Level 2, Blood Seekers, and upgrade materials to add pacts to your gear all revolve around Blood Harvest activities. With these, you'll be able to clear 4 objectives straight away.

Chase Tree of Whispers Activities

There are Tree of Whispers activities that you can do while in a Blood Harvest but once you clear all the objectives you can do from those, we highly recommend focusing on Tree of Whispers more so than the Blood Harvest themselves. Not only can you clear the 5 caches requirement, you'll also be able to farm some materials while roaming the map which in turn, can be used to craft elxirs and upgrading your potion which are three objectives in total.

Complete Strongholds, Dungeons, and Reach Nightmare Tier

The last three objectives will be beneficial for your long term journey through Season 2. Clearing Strongholds will allow you to unlock new dungeons so we highly recommend clearing Strongholds that have aspects related to your character to get more Codex Aspects and get you started on a proper build to Nightmare Tier. Once done, clear more dungeons to unlock more Aspects for your Class then clear the Cathedral of Light and reach Nightmare Tier. This will be equivalent to 10 objectives (11 if you open a Silent Chest) and give you a good amount of aspects as well to progress through World Tier 3.

Check icon Defeat the Echo of Varshan in Nightmare World Tier

Check icon Equip a piece of armor with 5 Identical Pacts engraved on it

Minimum Number of Objectives

To complete the Chapter 4 of Season's 2 journey, you'll have to complete 9 out of the 11 objectives and these objecitves involve tackling gear upgrades to max, nightmare dungeon delving, and defeating uber bosses.

Complete Nightmare Dungeons

Progressing Nightmare Dungeons is a great way to farm gear and level up your character which in turn, allows you to get better items to push higher tiers much easier. Your initial goal is to improve a glyph to level 4 and clearing a tier 10 dungeon as these are the difficulty based content from chapter 4. This can get you to at least 3 objectives at once together with the 5 nightmare sigil requirement.

Return to Blood Harvest Zones

Blood Seeker Council, Vampiric Power to 3, and Pacts are all from Blood Harvest. You'll need to equip a gear with 5 identical pacts as well which can easily be done by removing all pacts from an item and replacing it with one type of your chosen pacts. However, for the other requirements, a decent amount of farming will be needed.

To find a Blood Seeker Council, you'll need to spend 150 Blood Lures to summon them by using the three 50 Blood Lure pedestals. Vampiric Power upgrades will vary but it mainly revolves around farming Potent Blood until you can get a power to level 3 so make sure to decide which powers you'll want to upgrade and focus on those solely when they appear as choices on your upgrade list. Once these are completed, you'll have another 3 objectives for your chapter 4 journey.

Defeat a World Boss

World Bosses are easy to defeat and just joining one battle will be enough to complete the current objective. Refer to our timer to know when the next World Boss will spawn!

World Boss Timer, Time Schedule and Locations

Upgrade a Gear to Level 4

This is one of the easier Objectives to complete for Chapter 4 which simply requires you to upgrade two items to level 4. With a decent amount of farming and salvaging.

Kill a Player or Defeat 1 Targeted Boss

Chapter 4 Bosses
Lord Zir Echo of Varshan

If you have a friend that plays Diablo 4's season 2, it can be as simple as asking that player to join in the fields of Hatred and defeat him to complete the objective. An alternative is to defeating one of the two targeted boss that you'll need to summon in their respective dungeon. We recommend tackling these bosses after reaching World Tier 4 as the materials you need to summon these can be obtained from activities in this World Tier.

Check icon Craft a Flawless Gem at the JewelerJeweler

Minimum Number of Objectives

To complete the Slayer set of achievements on Season's 2 journey, you'll have to complete 10 out of the 12 objectives and these objecitves involve tackling gear upgrades to max, nightmare dungeon delving, and defeating uber bosses. Most of the content in this journey is at the end-game so prepare for some farming.

Get to Torment While Farming on Blood Harvest

Our main goal is to ensure that we'll be able to get to Torment to start getting more materials we'll need for crafting Elixirs and upgrading our Vampiric Powers. These are the easiest to do and once you can get to Torment, you'll naturally be facing lvl 75+ enemies which is roughly the same difficulty as a Tier 20 Nightmare dungeon. From these, you'll be able to clear 5 objectives by crafting the Elixir, Level 10 Reputation, Torment 4 unlock via Fallen Temple, and two level 3 vampiric powers, and farming pact items to be able to equip an item piece 5 pacts of the same type.

Craft a Flawless Gem

Another easy objective is to craft a Flawless Gem. This is much easier to do due to the gem fragment rework as opposed to combining smaller gems into stronger ones.

Open Helltide Chests

One of the objectives for the Season Journey is to open 6 different Helltide Chests and is one of the easier objectives to do. Simply farm up Shards and open different chest types to complete it and lessen one more objectives you need to do.

Equip a Sacred Legendary Item in Every Slot

This one is another easy objective to do as long as you're already in Torment as Legendaries will start being common in this level. Just farm up a decent amount of legendaries then equip a sacred in each slot then remove them all after. Note that this also applies to Ancient rarity so don't restrict yourself to replacing ancient tier items with sacred ones to complete the objective.

Compelte a Tier 20 Nightmare Dungeon

Once you're in torment, a Tier 20 Nightmare Dungeon is easy to do as it will have the same level as the enemies you'll encounter in this world tier.

Purify 5000 Seeds of Hatred

Purfiying 5000 Seeds of Hatred is not as difficult as it seems. However, try to avoid farming everything at once and only redeem the Seeds after certain milestones to avoid a potential loss over other player invades.

Most of the content in this journey is at the end-game so prepare for some farming.

Reach At Least Level 90

The Champion Season Journey already revolves around optimizing your build and needing to be level 80 at minimum to get specific objectives. We highly recommend farming the necessary aspects and gear with the right stats for your current build to ensure that you'll be able to tackle the objectives needed for this chapter. One of the objectives also require you to reach level 90 which makes this a great goal to focus on while clearing other objectives.

Season 2 Best Builds Tier List (Patch 1.2.0)

Farm up the Materials to Upgrade your Potion

You'll need to be able to upgrade your potion to Major Healing potion to clear one of the objectives and this is one of the easier objectives to do on this chapter. Mainly explore different maps and examine bushes or clear Tree of Whispers to get some potion crafting materials from the cache.

Acquire 5000 Cinders During Helltide

Helltide is a great source of Experience as you can get exp from opening chests while battling huge hordes of monsters that are higher leveled than you. This will allow you to level your character while also clearing an objective and being able to gather new legendaries as well as Living Steel.

Defeat Every World Boss in Toerment World Tier

This one will take some time to complete as the World Boss spanws are time gated. We highly recommend being up to date with the World Boss spawn timer to be able to clear this objective much easier.

World Boss Timer, Time Schedule and Locations

Clear a Tier 50 Nightmare Dungeon

A Tier 50 Nightmare Dungeon will contain level 100 enemies. This should be doable at the mid 80s and a well optimized build. Also be sure to check the available affixes of the dungeon to ensure that you'll be able to reduce the dungeon's difficulty by choosing affixes that synergize with your current build.

Upgrade 5 Vampiric Powers to Level 3

If you haven't yet, be sure to farm up some Potent Blood on Blood Harvest Events to get the necessary upgrade materials to upgrade some more of your Vampiric Powers. Try to prioritize Vampiric Powers that your build uses to ensure that you can maximize the value of the Potent Blood you are spending and be able to tackle more difficult content.

Defeat Summoned Bosses

We recommend clearing all the said objectives above first before proceeding with the Summoned Bosses to ensure a more smooth playthrough. All these Bosses can be summoned in different ways and they require different materials.

Champion Objectives
Check icon Defeat Duriel in Torment World Tier

Check icon Purify 22,222 Seeds of Hatred

Check icon Open 10 Tortured Gifts during a single Helltide

Check icon Defeat 12 World Boss Icon 2.pngWorld Bosses

Check icon Complete a Tier 90 or Higher Nightmare Dungeon

Check icon Improve 5 Paragon Glyphs to Rank 21

Check icon Reach Reputation Level 18 in the Blood Harvest

Check icon Defeat the Echo of Lilith in Torment World Tier

Season Journey Explained

Minimum Number of Objectives

To complete the Destroyer set of achievements on Season's 2 journey, you'll have to complete 7 out of the 9 objectives and these objecitves involve the absolute end-game and the last type of content you can do for Season of Blood. Effectively completing this season journey would mark your completion of the entire Season of Blood's content.

Defeat Duriel

Duriel is one of the new uber bosses and is the most difficult Uber Boss among the latest Uber Boss addition into the game. Duriel can also drop Uber uniques which makes defeating Duriel an very worthwhile endeavor to complete. To summon Duriel, you'll need to use two Mucus-Slick Egg and Shard of Agony which can be obtained by slaying Varshan and Grigoire respectively.

Commit to a Full on Tortured Gift Helltide Run

You'll want to open 10 Tortured Gifts in a single Helltide. You'll have to focus on flash farming enemies (quick usage of AoE then running to the next mob group to do the same thing and repeat) and opening all the chests and prioritizing low shard requirement chests like armor piece Tortured Gift chests.

Purify 22,222 Seeds of Hatred

Farming up 22,222 Seeds of Hatred is actually not that difficult. Just remember to not gather a huge amount immediately and redeem them partially to avoid a potential loss of big progress from enemy invades.

Defeat 12 World Bosses

World Bosses is a great source of high item power level items (925 base item power) so we highly recommend doing World Bosses even if not for the Objectives.

World Boss Timer

Reach Reputation Level 18 in the Blood Harvest

One more easy objective to do is to reach Level 18 in the Blood Harvest event. This can be done by repeatedly doing Blood Harvest events.

Defeat Echo of Lilith

Lilith has been a much easier boss to defeat due to Season 2's update and we highly recommend aiming for an Uber Lilith clear for a much easier season 2 journey completion.

Improve 5 Paragon Glyphs to Rank 21

The Objective that requires a lot of dungeon clearing. You can focus on farming on several Nightmare Dungeons and upgrading Glyphs until 21. This will be a long grind but its the last reliable method that you can do without relying on several unique drops or being able to clear a tier 90 dungeon. However, if you can one of the two said objectives, we highly recommend focusing on those instead as farming for 5 level 21 glyhps will take a long while to do.

Complete a Tier 90 Dungeon or Equip 8 Uniques

The rest of the objectives can be done only if you have a good drop from Unique items as you can just equip any uniques you have and unequip them later while Tier 90 dungeons will involve defeating very high leveled enemies and are very unreliable to do unless you already meet the requirement of having a character strong enough to clear the said dungeon. However, if you can do this, you can skip out on one or two other objectives that are more reliable to clear such as 5 Glyphs to Rank 21 or defeating Duriel or Lilith.
