Raven of the Tree Returns to Diablo 4 With Season 8 Release
The Raven of the Tree was first seen on the PTR, and added inSeason 7 ofDiablo 4. The NPC appeared in the Headhunts, a type of Helltide-like zone in which players faced enemies infused with Witchcraft powers. With it, players could turn in Grim Favors remotely, without the need to return to the Tree of Whispers and continue the grind. The raven quickly became popular with players, with the community calling for the bird to return to the game in further seasons.
In addition to Raven of the Tree, another new feature available as part of season eight is the completeoverhaul ofDiablo 4’s battle pass system. Now known as the Reliquary, players can buy this type of pass and,Call of Dutystyle, redeem the rewards out of order. There are four Reliquaries available, one of which is free for all players, and the others are paid, with rewards focused on weapon skins, pets and mounts, and armor skins.
