What is Midwinter Blight in Diablo 4?

Midwinter Blight is the name for Diablo 4’s vaguely Christmas-themed Winter event. Midwinter Blight will be active from 10AM PST December 12, 2023 until 10AM PST January 2, 2024, making this a three-week-long event.

This event is only available in the Seasonal Realm, meaning you will need a Seasonal Character to participate. Other than that, there are no requirements to access to the the event which is available from World Tier 1.

This event sees us helping a bard named Gileon to restore a Fractured Peaks tradition while fighting back against the Red-Cloaked Horror and his Blightfiends. This tradition honors those lost to the Blightfiends, and seeks to make this otherwise more dreadful time of year into more of a celebration.

Where to Find the Red-Cloaked Horror in Midwinter Blight

The Midwinter Blight boss is tied to the Blighted Revelry event, which spawns randomly all over the Fractured Peaks. In this public event, the goal is simply to survive the onslaught of demons. However, to summon the Red-Cloaked Horror, you'll need to finish the mastery objective, which is to melt and destroy the Frigid Husks in the event area.

The husks can only be damaged if they are within the orange fire circle. Outside it, they will be immune to damage, so make sure to take them all out as quickly as possible. If the flame circle dies down, interact with the burning wagon in the middle to ignite the fire again. Once all the husks are destroyed, the Red-Cloaked Horror will appear.

This boss is more or less the same as any other field or dungeon boss, and it's not particularly difficult to beat. Hit it with everything you've got, and it'll eventually explode in the usual shower of loot Diablo 4 fans are accustomed to seeing. More importantly, the Red-Cloaked Horror will drop the Red-Cloaked Trophy, which can immediately be converted to Midwinter Proofs.

How to Farm Midwinter Proofs 

There will be two ways to farm the Midwinter Proofs - either through killing monsters and completing Fractured Peak events, or Nightmare Dungeons for World Tier Level 3 and above. Nightmare Dungeons do offer some event items if you need to farm them incidentally, but your most efficient way is to farm Fractured Peak Events.

Monsters are sparsely populated in Fractured Peaks itself. The Gale Valley area (around the Yelesnya Waypoint) is decent, but travelling between the Fractured Peak Events back and fourth as they respawn upon zone refreshing is the best way to farm this event. 

How to Get the Shard of Dawn Aspect in Diablo 4

You can buy The Shard of Dawn Aspect from Gileon’s shop in Kyovashad in the Fractured Peaks for 10 Midwinter Proofs.

In order to get Midwinter Proofs, you’ll need to exchange one of three currencies at the Collection Table in town: Blighted Fragments, Lost Heirlooms, and Red-Cloaked Trophies.

You’ll find each of these currencies out in the world of the Fractured Peaks during the Midwinter Blight event. Hop onto your horse and ride around killing enemies (which typically drop Blighted Fragments) and destroying the Frigid Husk ice statues (which drop Lost Heirlooms).

The most efficient way to farm these items is in a new event called Blighted Revelry. As you ride around, look for an event where a bunch of little freaks are jumping around in a circle around a broken cart. Kill the little freaks and interact with the cart to start the event. Protect the cart until the fire gets large enough to unfreeze the Frigid Husks nearby. Use this method to destroy all five Frigid Husks to spawn the Red-Cloaked Horror. Defeat this big goat boss to finish the event, get some loot, and pick up the Red-Cloaked Trophy.

Back in town, you can convert 300 Blight Fragments, 30 Lost Heirlooms, or one Red-Cloaked Trophy into 1 Midwinter Proof. Once you have 10 Midwinter Proofs, you can buy the Shard of Dawn Aspect from Gileon.

If you need more Midwinter Proofs for cosmetics or if you don’t yet have enough for the Aspect, just head back out into the Fractured Peaks to explore (and maybe do the “Secret of the Spring” quest while you’re out there), kill monsters, and collect the currencies that you can exchange for more Proofs.

Players can join in the Diablo IV Midwinter Blight Event and earn good rewards quickly. Some of items are really good for the build of characters in Season of Blood. And you can also Buy Diablo 4 Gold to unlock the latest items for characters in the game shop.
