If you’ve jumped back into Diablo 4 after a break or first tried it out during Hatred Rising Season 6, you may have noticed a gigantic, demonic creature stalking Sanctuary. Realmwalkers are a major addition, offering players a new and exciting challenge. Their mechanics and rewards are unique, and if you like world bosses and Legion events, you’ll love this.

This is an intimidating enemy that is initially immune to attack, and the key to taking it down is to defeat the Bloodbound Guardians surrounding it. Here's everything you need to know about Realmwalkers in Diablo 4, and what the rewards are for completing this task.

The Realmwalkers are monsters summoned to Sanctuary by Mephisto's hatred (during the Hatred Rising event), and are therefore difficult to defeat with fewer players. While you can't attack a Realmwalker at first, the main boss will eventually become vulnerable to attack if you continue to defeat the Bloodbound Guardians that spawn nearby for protection. Much like a World Boss, you'll need multiple players with different difficulty levels and builds to defeat him.

After a while of moving, Realmwalkers will reach a ritual site. Here they form three Hatred Spires that must be destroyed quickly to prevent them from gaining power. But the job is not done yet!
