Season Journey (Season of the Malignant) | Diablo 4 Wiki

What type of Objectives are in the Season Journey (Season of the Malignant) in D4?

Objectives for the Season Journey (Season of the Malignant) fall under many different categories. Some objectives will have you gather different Materials and Items throughout Sanctuary, while some will have you clearing Dungeons and Strongholds. Some objectives are closely tied to the theme of the Season which revolves around the Malignant Creatures that have sprouted throughout Sanctuary.

These objectives scale in difficulty as the player moves on to later Chapters. Some objectives can be cleared as the player goes through the Main Campaign with their new Seasonal characters in the Seasonal Realm, while some will take more planning and investment in terms of their character's Endgame strength.

What types of Rewards can you Get for Season Journey (Season of the Malignant) in D4?

Rewards for the Season Journey (Season of the Malignant) include Herbs, Materials, and other various Items. To emphasize and give a spotlight to new features that came with the recent Patch 1.1.0a, seven new Legendary Aspects are also available as rewards. Other highlight rewards naturally have to do with the Season's theme and an all-new story.
