Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred has arrived, marking the first major expansion for Diablo 4. In addition to the new area and class, the Spiritborn, there is also a new season, with new content and activities to complete. Even if you don’t have the expansion, you can still participate in new activities, like the Realmwalker, which is featured heavily in the Seasonal Journey objectives. Completing these objectives will grant tons of battle pass XP, on top of loot for each chapter you finish.
Your progress on objectives in chapters you haven’t reached does track, but your progress in each chapter won’t be reflected until that chapter has been reached.
Chapter 1
Each chapter contains two more objectives than are required, giving you a choice of what you want to tackle.
You must complete 8 out of 10 objectives to complete this chapter.
Chapter 1 objectives:
Spoils of Hell: Open 1 Tortured Gifts during the HelltideCreeping Hatred: Speak with Crusader Damond in Zarbinzet and increase your standing with the Zakarum Remnants to Rank 1Fragrant Find: Collect 10 Angelbreath from various sources, like Harvest Nodes and Cellar MasteryForager: Collect 100 Bundled Herbs from various sourcesWhat Lurks Below: Complete 3 CellarsDen of Evil: Complete 1 Dungeon found on your mapTrouble in the Wilds: Complete 3 World EventsWake of Chaos: Slay 666 minions summoned by the RealmwalkerProspector: Collect 100 Iron Chunks from salvaging Weapons and Jewelry, Mineral Nodes, or various other sources throughout SanctuaryTiny Clarity: Upgrade your Potion to Tiny at the Alchemist
These objectives are all fairly easy, with most of them coming naturally during your playtime. However, since there is a new campaign to play with Vessel of Hatred some of the activities, like the Helltide or Realmwalker, might not happen naturally until after you finish the campaign. Because of that, it’s worth going out of your way to complete some of these, that way you can start earning the seasonal rewards. The Zakarum Remnants Rank appears in multiple chapters and can be progressed by taking on the Realmwalker.
Chapter 1 rewards:
Greater Favor (Battle Pass XP)First Journey Cache: Contains consumables, such as Opals, Elixirs, and Whispering KeysFirst Journey Crafting Cache: Contains crafting materials, such as Herbs and Gem FragmentsFirst Journey Equipment Cache: Contains a legendary weapon and gloves for your class

Another set of relatively simple objectives, but you need to take on the Realmwalker whenever possible, since there are multiple objectives here tied to that event. The rest of these objectives can be knocked out fairly quickly.

At this point, you will want to bump up your difficulty to Expert for the bonus XP in addition to the objective. The Scorned Heroes are also from the Realmwalkers, so you will need to continue grinding that activity, if you haven’t already completed those objectives. The most time-consuming activity is the Forsaken Offerings, but if you complete dungeons that are also Whispers, you can knock out two objectives at the same time.
Chapter 3 rewards:
Greater FavorThird Journey Cache: Contains consumables such as Opals, Elixirs, and Whispering KeysThird Journey Crafting Cache: Contains crafting materials, such as Veiled Crystals and Forgotten SoulsThird Journey Summoning Cache: Contains summoning materials to challenge the Blood Maiden during HelltidesThird Journey Equipment Cache: Contains a legendary weapon, chest armor, and amulet for your class

Once you reach this chapter, bumping the difficulty to Penitent is basically a requirement. You will once again need to take on the Realmwalker and if you weren’t already playing on Penitent none of your previous time completing those activities will help you here. For the Blood Maiden, you received some summoning materials for that activity as reward for completing the previous chapter, although there are usually other players there summoning the Blood Maiden as well. The Strongholds are worth completing, since some Nightmare Sigils are for dungeons that are locked behind the Strongholds.

For this chapter you need to bump up to Torment 1, but unlike previous difficulties, you need to unlock this one. That can be done by completing Artificer Tier 20 with a level 60 character. Once you have that out of the way, you can take care of the other objectives that require that difficulty. Getting 5 Paragon Glyphs to Rank 15 is a time-consuming task, but increasing those levels is also important for increasing your characters power, which will make everything else much easier.

There is one objective here that requires you to be on Torment 2, which is unlocked by completing Tier 35 in The Pit, but you can save that for later. Depending on your gear and how powerful your build feels, you will likely want to knock out the rest of the objectives, like the bosses, on Torment 1. The loot is better on Torment 2, but it’s also much harder, so you may want to delay bumping up until you feel pretty powerful in Torment 1.

This is the final chapter and you can take as long as you would like to complete it, but if you are trying to get the rewards sooner, you should focus on the masterworking and The Pit objectives. There are several tied to it and it will improve your gear, making everything else easier. The two bosses listed are fairly tough, but you can always knock it out on Torment 1, which you have likely moved on from at this point.
