Dominating the Waves with Event Power
Elküldve: 2025.11.27. 11:03
If you're just starting out with Infernal Hordes in Diablo 4, you’re in for a ride. It’s one of the most intense, rewarding activities you’ll encounter in the game, and while it can be overwhelming at first, with the right knowledge, it can turn into a highlight of your endgame grind [Please login or register to view this link].
To unlock Infernal Hordes, you’ll need to complete the “Eyes of the Enemy” quest, which will set you on the path to battling through 60-second waves in the fiery depths of the Burning Hells. It’s all about slaying demons to collect Burning Aether, which acts as currency to select Infernal Offers—boons that provide helpful buffs to make your run smoother or enhance your rewards.
So what’s the real draw here? Well, there’s a lot going on. These waves not only give you a steady supply of loot, but they also trigger Soulspires (special events that appear 3-5 times per wave) which grant bursts of Aether, as well as Boss Waves where you face off against tough enemies like the Fell Council or Bartuc, the Lord of Destruction himself. Trust me, you’ll want to face these bosses, as they drop some juicy loot—think Ancestrals, Scrolls, and even Chaos Armor pieces.
But if you want to really maximize your time in Infernal Hordes, you need to know how to stack the right Event Powers. The Compass to Carnage is a game changer here. This event increases the frequency of Chaos Waves and replaces your Infernal Offers randomly, spitting out an incredible amount of Aether from Goblins and other events. This makes the runs even more rewarding. And don’t forget about the Rift Aether bonus—sealing those fiery rifts gives you an additional 9-15 Aether per pop, making it a key part of your grind [Please login or register to view this link].
As for the rewards, let’s break down what you can expect from the waves:
Wave 4 (Fleeting): This is an easy start, requiring you to collect 200 Aether. No boss here, but you’ll get a few basic mats and gold.
Wave 6: Up the stakes to 400 Aether and face off against the Fell Council. The rewards here start to get better, with the chance to get 1-2 Ancestrals and some scrolls.
Wave 8: At this point, you’re looking at 550 Aether and the Fell Council again. The loot gets more exciting with Uniques and Chaos Armor pieces dropping.
Wave 10: The big one—666+ Aether and your chance to take on Bartuc. The rewards are insane: 4 scrolls, a 75 Aether refund, 15M gold, and a stack of gems to boot.
Pro Tip:
For the most efficient grind, stack offers like "Precious Spires" (which grants 3x the Soulspire Aether) and "Puffing Masses" (which boosts your rewards). This combo can push your Aether per wave to over 500, and it makes Bartuc farms in Torment 4+ much more manageable, especially if you're going solo.
