Diablo 4 Season 14’s details have just dropped, and the Realmwalker from Season 6 is making a return! Along with the Realmwalkers reappearing, they are also bringing forth a one-room mini-dungeon for players to venture into aka, the Deathtoll Chamber.
Pandemonium Ruptures
That’s right, Realmwalkers are reappearing across Sanctuary from the brand new arcane rifts called Pandemonium Ruptures. From these rifts, a new monster family emerges, and with them, the chance at spawning a Realmwalker. In order to summon one, you must kill the guardians around Death’s Head Idols, creating an open Rupture and casting a ritual ring.
The longer you keep the Rupture open, the more rewards you’ll earn. Killing monsters and closing Tears will help keep it open. Rupture Goblins can also appear anywhere, opening additional Ruptures. If this sounds familiar, it’s because you may have done a similar mechanic during Season 6. But this time, there are three different Ruptures you can open:
- Ruptures (Normal): Small Ruptures can spawn throughout the overworld of Sanctuary, but are especially prevalent in Helltides.
- Surging Ruptures: Medium ruptures can spawn in place of any local event within a Helltide.
- Colossal Ruptures: Large ruptures appear only in the Fields of Desecration, the World Boss Arena southeast of Zarbinzet.
Realmwalker Returns to Diablo 4
After completing different types of Pandemonium Ruptures, you have a chance at summoning a Realmwalker. However, lesser rifts won’t summon one, and only more difficult Ruptures will call forth a Realmwalker.
- Ruptures (Normal): Cannot summon Realmwalkers.
- Surging Ruptures: Gives a chance to spawn a Realmwalker when Surging Rupture events are completed with Mastery within the time allotted.
- Colossal Ruptures: Guarantees a Realmwalker spawn when completed.
But what do you gain for slaying a Realmwalker? Defeating a Realmwalker opens a Portal to the Deathtoll Chamber.
Deathtoll Chambers
Deathtoll Chambers are a one-room mini-dungeon accessible either by defeating the Realmwalker or inside a Nightmare Dungeon with the Rupture affix after closing enough Tears within Ruptures. Once inside, complete a special Rupture activity for even more rewards.
If any of this sounds familiar, again, it’s a similar system found in Season of Hatred Rising. But the Deathtoll Chamber will be the best source for Greater Lair Boss Keys, which are required to open the Seasonal Lair Boss’s Hoard in Torment I and higher.
