Sanctuary freezes with horror as developer Blizzard Entertainment reveals Midwinter Blight, the seasonal holiday event coming to Diablo 4. From December 12, 10 a.m.–January 2, 10 a.m. PST players on the Seasonal Realm in World Tier I or above can start this journey by talking to Gileon, the bard Kyovashad.
It will be up to you to help him set up the perfect venue. This can be done by trudging into the Fractured Peaks and eviscerating pale blue Blightfiends for their Blighted Fragments, destroying gory jumbles of human viscera known as Frigid Husks to recover Lost Heirlooms, and putting an end to the Blightfiends’ own gruesome celebration—the Blighted Revelry.
Once you’ve collected enough Blighted Fragments, Lost Heirlooms and other event currencies, you can visit the Collections Table back at the Midwinter Square to trade them for Midwinter Proofs. In turn, those can be exchanged for a variety of rewards, such as: a Mount Trophy, Class-specific Back Trophies, Weapon Cosmetics, the Shard of Dawn Offensive Legendary Aspect, Gileon’s Brew (this stuff is potent and delicious), and more.
“An especially bitter cold has swept through the snow-capped mountaintops of the Fractured Peaks. The wind pierces through the region, carrying with it the ravenous wail of a bizarre beast rumored to dwell in the frost-laden hinterland. Nobody has ever dared lay eyes on the source of this piercing terror, but perhaps you have ample warmth in your heart to track down and slay your way through the Midwinter Blight, wanderer.”
