Top 7 tips to prepare for Diablo 4 Season of the Malignant
Diablo 4’s Season of the Malignant promises additional content, including new legendaries and uniques, as well as a battle pass with several cosmetics. You’ll also experience the season’s activities involving a new quest line, and battle Malignant Monsters to claim their Malignant Hearts. Still, you do need to make a new character, although a few facets carry over.
Complete the campaign on your main character so you can skip it on alts
The information was previously confirmed by Diablo 4’s associate game director Joseph Piepiora. Basically, completing the campaign allows you to skip it on your new characters (or “alts”). This includes those that you create in Season of the Malignant.
This helps out immensely, since the seasonal quest line takes place after you’ve beaten the story. Also, while you’re no longer able to do main quests, your leveling grind will mostly focus on dungeons and events.
