Here are all the details about The Gauntlet, Leaderboards, and the Hall of the Ancients that were shared during BlizzCon 2023's Diablo 4 Campfire Chat.

The Gauntlet

Basics

• The Gauntlet can be accessed after reaching World Tier 4.
• You do not need to be Level 100 to access The Gauntlet.
• The Gauntlet is a fixed seed, non-linear dungeon, meaning that monsters and their positions, layout, and affixes are always the same.
• In The Gauntlet, your mastery and skill will be tested to achieve the highest scores which will appear on the leaderboards.
• Loot drops at the end of the timer. You don't have to worry about picking up loot on the way.
• At the beginning of each week, a new Gauntlet will replace the current one and the leaderboards will reset.

Scoring and Rewards

• Since The Gauntlet is non-linear, there are choices of how to progress through the dungeon to maximize your score (e.g. in groups you can decide where everyone should be going).
• Monsters and Chests will drop pick-ups, called Proofs of Might, instead. You will have a limited amount of time to collect as many of them as possible to maximize your score.
• You will be awarded a Seal depending on your score (that can be improved). Reaching the Seal of the Worthy will put you in the top 1000 of the corresponding leaderboard.
• These Seals also come with a portrait frame that you can show off to other players in-game.
