Diablo 4 Season 2 has introduced a new activity known as Blood Harvest and it is easily one of the best farming events to take part in to gather some essential XP and loot in the game. Here’s everything you need to know about Blood Harvest in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 Season 2 is heading towards its conclusion now that 2023 is over, and the devs are already planning for the upcoming Season 3. Although nothing has been announced about the upcoming season as of writing, players are still enjoying everything Season 2 has to offer.

One of the most celebrated additions in Season 2 was the Blood Harvest in Diablo 4, a new activity that lets players farm XP and resources by killing hordes of monsters continuously. With Season 3 just around the corner, many could be expecting a similar activity mode in the future as well.

Here’s everything you need to know about Blood Harvest in Diablo 4.

Blood Harvest in Diablo 4 explained

Players who encounter Blood Harvest for the first time in Diablo 4 Season 2 will find a stark similarity to Helltides. Blood Harvest is also an activity that is active in a specific region for a given amount of time, and changes its location once the timer ends, just like Helltides.

Blood Harvest occurs in a specific region on the map at a time.

However, unlike Helltides, you will be able to access Blood Harvest right from Level 1, making it a great way to gain some phenomenal loot and large amounts of XP at any stage of your playthrough. This event is notorious for having high enemy density, so make sure to be prepared to slay your way through enemy lines.

You can collect two important items while killing enemies during Blood Harvest— Blood Lures and Seeker Keys. You will need Blood Lures to summon Blood Seekers which are essential for dropping major rewards, and Seeker Keys to open Seeker Caches to get some great loot in Diablo 4.

Aside from gathering XP and loot, make sure to gain Hunter’s Acclaim as well during Blood Harvest in Diablo 4, as it is necessary to unlock some exciting rewards through the Hunter’s Acclaim Board in Ked Bardu.

To get Hunter’s Acclaim, you will need to complete various events, kill vampire Elites, save villagers, and destroy vampire structures while running Blood Harvest in Diablo 4. Keep an eye out for Potent Blood as well during the activity, as it is necessary for unlocking Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4 Season 2.
