The Diablo 4 Helltide Event is a type of endgame activity. In it, you'll need to defeat numerous monsters to acquire a currency. Naturally, you'll receive some nifty rewards in the process. Here's our guide to help you complete Helltide Events in Diablo 4.
The Diablo 4 Helltide Event becomes available after you complete the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon so you can switch to World Tier 3: Nightmare.
The activity itself occurs periodically. As of the time of this writing, we believe it's every other hour, with the activity itself lasting for an hour, too. We noticed this after finishing World Boss kills, such as Ashava. Usually, after our character and several random players defeated a World Boss, the Helltide Event also popped up.
As for its location, that is random, too. It can occur in any of the game's five regions--Fractured Peaks, Scosglen, Dry Steppes, Kehjistan, and Hawezar. Entire zones will have a blood-red hue, signifying that a Helltide is active. The only exceptions, as far as we've seen, are capitals/hubs, PvP zones, and the Tree of Whispers area.
The goal in Diablo 4 Helltide Events is to defeat as many enemies as possible within an hour so you can amass a currency called Aberrant Cinder. The tally will then appear in the upper-right corner of your screen. Ideally, you'll want to group up with friends just to make the grinding and clearing process smoother. Having buddies certainly helps when you have to battle numerous foes.
Moreover, it's best to look for larger packs, summoners/conjurers, and events. This includes the Demonic Portal event where hostiles will start spawning in. The more enemy hordes you encounter, the more you can kill and loot for Aberrant Cinders.
