Diablo 4offers players a breadth of content that gives some variety to the game on the endless journey for better and better gear. SomeDiablo 4events can only be completed one time, like Strongholds, but others –like Helltides and World Bosses– respawn on a relatively regular basis and give unique rewards suited for the endgame.
Legion Events are one such activity that regularly pop up throughout the day and encourage players to group up and take on legions of enemies – as the event’s name might imply. These events are timedand offer better rewardsif players can take down the waves of foes fast enough.
Updated July 15, 2025 by Erik Petrovich: The Legion event Diablo 4 introduced to the series has not changed too much since the game’s launch, but over time, patches and updates have updated some of the specifics. Compared to release and Season 1, D4 Legion event popups occur much more frequently nowadays, and this guide has been updated with the new event timings. Additionally, a few locations where Legion events can spawn were left out of the listing below, and have now been included. Some of these areas require a Stronghold to be cleared before being able to spawn Legion events, so be sure to check which ones are available from the get-go, and which have this pre-requisite.
What Are Diablo 4 Legion Events?
Legion Events are twice-an-hour events that take place overa relatively large area on the world mapin a few locations around Sanctuary. Once the event starts, players should see nearby red dots and points of interest pop up on their mini-map, as well as a timer for the Legion event itself. These red dots show current enemy locations nearby, and the points of interest that pop up show where the next wave will spawn.
The objective of most Legion Events inDiablo 4is to defeat waves of enemies that continually spawn and the Servants of Hell. Defeat three Servants of Hell, and defeat the Overlord at the end of the event, to complete the Legion Event.
However, if players run out of time before getting all three, the final boss – an Overlord – will spawn alongsidea standard end-of-Dungeon boss, like the Khazra Abomination. The more Servants of Hell that players defeat before the Overlord spawns, the better the loot at the end, with full Mastery typically earned for killing all three.
The exceptions to this are the two new Nahantu Legion Events – these two new events in the far east and center of the new DLC zone have new mechanics and feel like a step up from the simple kill-all-enemies-to-win formula of the base game’s Legion Events.
It’s important to have a large group of players when taking on a Legion Event. Players don’t need to beina group, just ensure that there are plenty of others around to make the job of summoning Servants much faster. More players means more ground can be covered, and less time traveling between hordes in the Legion zone.
How To Find Legion Events In Diablo 4
On the full-size map inDiablo 4, Legion Events are highlighted with a circle that, when hovered over, describes the basics of the event and how much time remains until it begins. InDiablo 4, Legion events begin every 25 minutes, giving you plenty of time to organize your inventory and get to the next one upon completion.
Like World Bosses, a notification will pop up when a Legion Event countdown begins if you are close by.
No matter where you are in Sanctuary, the icon should appear on the mini-map a few minutes ahead of the start of each Legion Event. Thanks to changes to theD4Legion event timing, players can find a Legion event happening somewhere in the world about twice an hour, though you will still have to open your map to see exactly where the next one will be.
Diablo 4 Legion Event Times & Locations
From launch through Season 1, Legion events spawned relatively infrequently, but at the beginning of Season 2Diablo 4Legion event times were simplified. From then on, a Legion eventDiablo 4players could participate in would pop up every 25 minutes.
Such is still the case for Season 6, and Legion events will likely continue to follow that timing for the foreseeable future.
Legion Events can spawn in a variety of locations throughout Sanctuary, but several of them only become accessible once a Stronghold has been cleared. Common places for Legion Events to spawn include:
Of these ten different Legion Event locationsDiablo 4offers, five will not spawn Legion events until you clear a Stronghold. Crusader’s Monument in Hawezar, Alcarnus in Kehjistan, the Temple of Rot in the Dry Steppes, Kor Dragan in the Fractured Peaks, and the Chakir Stronghold in Nahantu will not spawn a Legion Event until the associated Stronghold is cleared.
Possible Legion Event Rewards
Monsters defeated throughout the progression of a Legion Event will reward XP, Gold, and items as normal. After defeating the Overlord and dungeon boss, up to three Radiant Chests will spawn, depending on the group’s Mastery over the Legion Event.
One Servant of Hell defeated means one Radiant Chest, and three defeated rewards three. Inside these chests is loot from a special Legion Event loot table that contains the standard fare of high-level items and materials, as well as the chance forunique cosmetics and Mounts.
The Ghastly Reins, which unlocks the Spectral Charger, can drop from Legion Event chests.
Just keep an eye out for the white item label – cosmetics, new mount breeds, and mount armors can look like common equipment when they drop. Be sure to check the Stash every so often asDiablo 4will recover missed Legendary, Unique, and cosmetic items here.
