All Diablo 4 events and how to complete them in Season 1

Diablo 4 events in Season 1, or world events as they are referred to in-game, can be found across all five regions of Sanctuary. Recognizable by orange skulls and rings on the mini-map, they are short, optional combat-focused instanced quests that task players with completing a set of activities in exchange for valuable loot, experience, Murmuring Obols, gems, and gold.
