Diablo 4 Chaos Rifts Guide
Chaos Rifts are the new seasonal events that appear across Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons for Season 10 in Diablo 4 (D4). Learn more about how to find and access Chaos Rifts, how to get them, what Chaos Rifts are, and their rewards here!

How to Find Chaos Rifts

Participate in Helltides

Farm Chaos Rifts by Participating in Helltides

The best way to find a Chaos Rift is by participating in Helltide events that spawn throughout Sanctuary. Keep in mind that Chaos Rifts spawn randomly so try to take as much time as you can during Helltide events to improve your chances of spawning Chaos Rifts.

Clear Nightmare Dungeons

Farm Chaos Rifts by Clearing Nightmare Dungeons

Another great way to find Chaos Rifts is by activating Nightmare Sigils and clearing Nightmare Dungeons. Make sure you have a ton of Nightmare Sigils farmed beforehand so you can continuously farm Chaos Rifts with ease.

Chaos Rifts Guide and Mechanics

Open a Chaos Rift

Diablo 4 Open a Chaos Rift

Upon encountering a Chaos Rift, all you have to do is interact with the rift and the event will immediately start. Take note that Chaos Rifts also spawn in different rarities such as Magic, Rare, Legendary, and Mythic with specific rewards for each encounter.

Eliminate All Chaos Monsters

Diablo 4 Eliminate All Chaos Monsters

Since Chaos Rifts can spawn randomly during Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons, your only main goal is to fully clear all Chaos monsters that spawn.

Do note that it is possible for a Mythic Chaos Rift to spawn in Torment I or above difficulties that yield even higher rewards.

Seal the Chaos Rift

In order to seal a Chaos Rift, you will first have to defeat all the Chaos monsters it spawns. Doing so will allow you to attack and destroy the rift portal, sealing the Chaos Rift and dropping various rewards such as Chaos Armor, Infernal Warps, and Infernal Compasses.

Chaos Rift Rewards

Specific Rewards for Each Rift

List of Chaos Rift Rewards
Infernal Warp
Viz Jaq'taar Veneration
Infernal Compass
Nightmare Sigil
Murmuring Obols
Obducite
Aberrant Cinders
・Gem Fragments
・Bonus XP

Each Chaos Rift has a specific reward you can claim after you seal the rift. This allows you to prioritize certain rewards that you can target farm when coming across various Chaos Rifts.

Keep in mind that Chaos Rifts are also capable of providing you with more Gem fragments and additional XP when sealing Chaos Rifts. This can be a good source for leveling and upgrading your Gem slots with higher-tier Gems.

Chaos Armor Uniques

When taking on Helltides, the main loot drops you want to get from Chaos Rifts are the Chaos Armor uniques that you can get from Helltide Chests. Make sure to farm as much Aberrant Cinder as you can find during the event and open all the Mystery chests to fully reap the rewards.
