Summary
- Diablo 4 launches the Slay Ride to Hell event on December 17 for goblin slaying community challenge with escalating rewards.
- Rewards include Legendary, Unique, and Ancestral items based on goblin kills, with Vessel of Hatred DLC exclusive content.
- Both solo and multiplayer fans can unlock powerful weapons and special items at different tiers of goblin kills.
Diablo 4 is rolling out a new holiday-themed global community challenge event for December 2024, titled Slay Ride to Hell. The community event is scheduled to hit Diablo 4 in mid-December, and all participating players will be able to unlock some pretty significant rewards depending on how many goblins are slain before the event ends.
Launched in June 2023, the action-RPG dungeon crawler has seen a resurgence of late thanks to the Vessel of Hatred DLC that was released in early October 2024. That expansion has provided more content for both solo and multiplayer fans of the game, though community-based events like World Boss raids continue to dominate the multiplayer scene.
Now, a new community event looks to bring Diablo 4 players together in a different way. As shown on the Diablo 4 official news page, the Slay Ride to Hell global community event is scheduled to begin on December 17, 2024, at 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, and it will run through January 2, 2025. During the event, Diablo 4 Treasure Goblin spawns will be increased throughout Sanctuary and Nahanthu, and the more goblins that are slain by players around the world, the better rewards all participating players can expect. The first tier will be unlocked once players have collectively slain 5 million Treasure Goblins, with additional tiers' rewards opening up at the 10 million, 15 million, 25 million, and 40 million levels.

Even better weapons can be unlocked at higher tiers, with a Unique and Legendary Weapons Cache at tier 2, Unique Weapons at tier 3, Ancestral Uniques at tier 4, and Ancestral Uniques and Ancestral Legendary Items at tier 5. There are also some special items to be found, like the Fruit of the Harvest Trophy at tier 3, Harvest Mare's Totem Trophy at tier 4, and Harvest Mare's Barding Armor at tier 5.
While all participating players will be able to claim some of the rewards, those who have picked up the Vessel of Hatred expansion are in for additional treats, as each tier includes at least two rewards that are only available to players who have purchased the DLC. These Vessel of Hatred-specific rewards include Citadel Coins at the two highest tiers, as well as a random tribute for Diablo 4's Undercity, Tributes of Ascendance, Tributes of Radiance, and additional runes of varying quality spread throughout the tiers.
