Once you beat the final boss ofDiablo 4’sVessel of Hatredexpansion, you can start the"Tenets of Depravity,“a long series of side quests that lead to great rewards. From unique gear to plenty of XP, this postgame content is worth pursuing to improve your character’s strength and arsenal. However, this quest has many stages, making it somewhat confusing to pursue from start to finish.
One of the easiest ways to start seasonal content is tomake a new character and skip the main campaign. When selecting your character’s Realm, make sure you pick a Seasonal Realm to take part in theVessel of Hatredquests inSeason 6 ofDiablo 4. Green leaf icons will mark spots on your map where you can begin seasonal content once your character has entered the right world.
How To Start The Tenets of Depravity Quest
Talk To The Right Person And Get Started
The only way to start the"Tenets of Depravity"quest is totalk to the Guard near the east side of Upper Kurast. This soldier will not appear until you have also started the"Deeds of a Champion"quest tied to the main story ofVessel of Hatred. Once you have met the right requirements, ask the Guard about the dead civilian they’re near to begin the series of side missions.
You won’t be able to accessseasonal content inVessel of Hatreduntil you beat Act 7 ofDiablo 4’s main campaign at least once. When you do, you can have another character created to skip the campaign straight to the right side quest.
Other NPCs may also speak of Captain Kharov besides the guard, so explore Upper Kurast to find other ways to start the quest if one isn’t showing up. When you do get the quest, a marker should appear on your map telling you where to go next. Be sure to disable any other quest markers you might have active, including the"Deeds of a Champion"quest that indicates for you to go somewhere else.
