How to kill Realmwalkers in Diablo 4 Season 6

Realmwalkers are the bosses of the public event for Diablo 4 Season 6, Season of Hatred Rising, that started concurrently with the Vessel of Hatred expansion. Throughout the day, Realmwalkers will spawn in one of Sanctuary’s five regions that is affected by Hatred every 15 minutes before rotating to another location. In addition to this spawn, a second Realmwalker will also spawn in Nahantu once an hour. Season 6 is more streamlined than past Diablo 4 seasonal events and consists mainly of killing Realmwalkers but it is still a good way to earn seasonal reputation and rewards, gear, and experience.

Here is everything you need to know to find and kill the Realmwalkers when they spawn.

How to kill Realmwalkers

Regions affected by Hatred are marked on your map with a green horned skull icon and in these regions is a second distinct portal icon with a timer marking the location where the Realmwalker event begins. Once you go to the starting place, you’ll see a red portal between two horned columns that periodically spews out demons. When the event starts, these columns reveal themselves to be part of the massive Realmwalker demon which will start walking to a designated ritual spot, immune to all damage, while summoning waves of demons in its wake. To break its immunity shield and complete the event, you must:

1. Kill the lesser demons it spawns to spawn a set of Bloodbound Guardians. A bar on your screen will let you know your progress and once it is filled, the three Bloodbound Guardians spawn.
2. Kill each Bloodbound Guardian to take off a small chunk of the Realmwalkers health. Once you kill all three, the bar will reset and lesser demons will spawn.
3. Start the loop again by killing lesser demons to spawn Bloodbound Guardians.
4. The Realmwalker arrives at the ritual site and spawns three Hatred Spires. It usually has about half of its remaining health at this point.
5. Destroy these spires to break the immunity shield and kill the Realmwalker for good.

The Realmwalker doesn’t stop moving until it reaches the ritual site and the demons spawns continuously until it gets there, making the area dense with enemies. Occasionally if a player gets too close to it during its path of travel, it’ll smash the ground with an area-of-effect attack so watch out for that. The faster you kill the demons and fill up the bar to summon the Guardians, the faster you can complete this event.

Rewards for killing Realmwalkers

Completing the event and killing Realmwalkers rewards you Whispers as well as with gold, equipment, gems, and materials, all of which are the standard rewards independent of Whispers. The most important reward you get is a portal to the Seething Realm, a mini-dungeon where you can earn a focused Seething rewards cache of your choosing in exchange for Murmuring Obols and other materials.
