The festive season is upon us, and with it comes exciting limited-time events, including the newly introduced Diablo 4 winter celebration known as the Slay Ride to Hell. If you’re eager to track down Treasure Goblins and earn exclusive rewards by eliminating them, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss. The best part? You don’t have to tackle this challenge alone; all players’ contributions to goblin kills count toward a collective goal, turning it into a vibrant community event.
The Slay Ride to Hell event is set to kick off shortly, providing players with a couple of weeks to actively participate. As the community collectively slays more Treasure Goblins, increasingly powerful rewards become available. If you haven’t played for a while, now might just be the perfect time to dive back into the action.
Event Dates & Time
Essential Details
The Slay Ride to Hell event is scheduled to run from December 17, 2024, to January 2, 2025. This provides approximately two weeks of engagement for players to collect fabulous rewards.

How to Begin Slay Ride to Hell in Diablo 4
Prepare for Action
Starting your adventure in the Slay Ride to Hell event is straightforward. Simply log in during the event period and commence your hunt for Treasure Goblins. As players achieve new kill milestones, rewards can be collected at Goblin Square in Kyovashad, before resuming the hunt. Since this event thrives on teamwork, it’s beneficial to employ strategies for efficiently farming Treasure Goblins, while also accepting that some elusive goblins might escape.
Treasure Goblins spawn at random locations and times, but players can enhance their chances by focusing on specific areas. Locations like Fractured Peaks’ Cellars and Novek’s Treasure Trove appear to have a higher likelihood of goblin appearances. Moreover, Nightmare Dungeons and Greed Shrines are also prime spots for encountering these elusive creatures.
Be mindful that Treasure Goblins are known for their flight instinct, often leading them to dash away from danger. This not only prolongs the chase but also risks attracting other enemies, making it crucial to maintain damage output when engaging these goblins. Continuously attacking a goblin will hinder its escape, increasing your chances of a successful hunt.
