The Infernal Horde is a new upcoming feature for season 5 and the Eternal Realm. The Infernal Hordes is a new activity that allows you to slay waves of enemies and earn BUrning Aether to unlock better rewards from the new game mode.
Completing each wave allows you to get Boons and Banes that can affect the next waves by making them more difficult at the tradeoff of more rewards.
Infernal Horde Guide and How to Unlock
One of the updates that comes with the Infernal Horde update is a new main questline. The events of the new quest will occur after the end of the game's current Main Quest and defeating Lilith.
To access the questline, head over to Hawezar in World Tier III and investigate a disturbance in the area. This is also the prerequisite condition to unlocking the new Infernal Horde feature in the game.
The game will also include new Unique gear for all the classes in the game. These new gear also have a higher chance of dropping from the new Infernal Horde update so if you wish to obtain the new gear in Season 5, farming enemies in the Infernal Horde will be highly recommended.
