Diablo 4 players have discovered a new bug affecting progress in the Helltides. Since its launch, Diablo 4 has faced its fair share of struggles with bugs. While some Diablo 4 bugs have resulted in unusual situations, other bugs have produced circumstances able to impact players' gameplay negatively.
In the first few days after launch, Diablo 4 disabled a bugged sidequest preventing players from getting 100% in Scosglen, the home of the Druids. In this area, players must find a bandit named Darcel and recover a stolen item, but the bug caused multiple copies of the character to appear. A few days after, another bug appeared, this time preventing the Druid from receiving Unique items, something Diablo 4 fixed not long after. Recently another bug that appeared kept Diablo 4 players from destroying a barrier required to complete one of the game's quests.
This time, Diablo 4 players found a bug when entering the Cellar inside a Helltide that removes all Abberant Cinders from the inventory. Helltides are Diablo 4 events that provide an extra challenge by putting random regions under strong demonic influence for approximately one hour. Reddit user the_plumbus_among_us shared a video demonstrating the bug, with their Cinders dropping from 302 to zero in moments. In the comments of the_plumbus_among_us' post, one user revealed that they lost around 350 Abberant Cinders in a few seconds when entering the bugged Cellar. During Helltides, Lilith's demons get stronger and can drop Abberant Cinders when defeated. Using several Abberant Cinders, Diablo 4 players open chests that reward them with rare items.
Helltides are among the best ways to gather materials to craft powerful items and find the best Diablo 4 items. To open a chest and try their luck, Diablo 4 players need 175 Aberrant Cinders, so losing big chunks of it can significantly kill the progress in the game. Speaking to PC Gamer, a Blizzard representative said the team is already investigating reports of the Cellars bug in Helltides. Despite this, there are no specific details to share with Diablo 4 players.
This isn't the first time Cellars has been the protagonist of one of Diablo 4's bugs. Last month, Diablo 4 Cellars gave players infinite loot because of a bug, making them a great way to get gear and XP. Until Blizzard fixes the Cellars bug in Helltides, Diablo 4 players may choose to avoid Cellars to avoid risking losing their hard-earned Aberrant Cinders.
Diablo 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
