Diablo 4 Season Journey

Season Journey is Seasonal content in Diablo 4, and it consists of a series of chapters that require you to perform specific objectives to get some great rewards. Every Season will have a different Season Journey, and players will never have the same experience completing the Journey in two distinct Seasons.

The objectives in the Season Journey are relatively easy during the first few chapters, and they get much harder as you go deeper into the chapters. By the end of the Season 1 Journey, players must confront Uber Lilith in World Tier 4, so you can only imagine how difficult this will be to complete.

To complete a specific chapter, players must finish a number of objectives in every chapter. However, you DO NOT have to complete all the objectives to proceed to the next chapter. For example, in Season 1 Chapter 1, you have to complete 7 of 9 objectives to proceed to the next chapter. The remaining incomplete objectives will only reward you with Favor which we will cover a bit down in the guide.

Objectives in the locked Chapters can still be completed even though you haven’t finished the previous chapters. 

Season Journey objectives cannot be completed outside the Seasonal Realm, and once the Season is over, the Journey will no longer be accessible and any rewards you missed out on can’t be obtained anymore. Moreover, the Season Journey progress is bound to account and not character, so all your characters will share the same progress.

Diablo 4 Season Journey Rewards

There are two types of rewards that you can get from this system.

  • Favor
  • Chapter rewards

Favor is a resource that allows you to progress further in the Battle Pass. You will earn a small amount of Favor by completing objectives, and a lot of Favor by completing a specific number of objectives and earning the chapter rewards.

Chapter rewards are given after completing a specific number of objectives within a chapter. Those rewards include a greater amount of Favor, Caches that can drop all kinds of goodies, Legendary Aspects, and titles.
