Blizzard Entertainment is ringing in the holiday season with an exciting new event for Diablo 4 called the Slay Ride To Hell. This limited-time hunt revolves around the notorious Treasure Goblins that scatter across Sanctuary. Renowned for their elusive nature, these foes make a frantic escape, challenging players to hunt them down. The rewards for defeating these vibrant little enemies span a wide array of loot, making the endeavor worthwhile this festive season.
The Slay Ride To Hell event kicks off on December 17 and will continue until January 2. During this event, players can earn progress toward exclusive loot by vanquishing any Treasure Goblin they encounter in Sanctuary.

More Holiday Surprises Await in Diablo 4
Experience the Spiritborn Class Without the Expansion
In addition to the Treasure Goblin event, players will also have the chance to experience the new Spiritborn class, introduced through the Vessel of Hatred expansion earlier this year. From December 19 to January 3, this class will become accessible to all players on Battle.net, Xbox, and PlayStation, even those who have yet to buy the expansion. While players can only level up to 25 during this period, any progress made will carry over should they choose to purchase the expansion later.
Furthermore, the cherished Mother’s Blessing buff returns! Running from December 17 to January 2, this buff grants players enhanced experience and gold accumulation while in effect. This enhancement applies to both Seasonal and Eternal realms, across all World Tiers. The holiday season is an ideal time to dive back into Diablo 4, as there’s a wealth of new content and opportunities to engage with the game. For those of us harboring a grudge against Treasure Goblins, this event provides the perfect opportunity for sweet revenge.
