How do you complete Diablo 4 Holding Back the Flood? At an early point in the Season of the Malignant, you will get a quest to complete, asking you to progress through the Season Journey. These are, for the large part, relatively routine tasks for sure. However, the list of what you need to complete is surprisingly well-hidden.

So in order to help you tackle this task that’s part of Diablo 4 Season 1 unique quest lineup, we’ve compiled a list of all the objectives you need to complete in the RPG game. These range from odd jobs you completed in the main game, such as conquering Diablo 4 Strongholds, to collecting Diablo 4 Malignant Hearts – the season’s key resource.

How do you complete Diablo 4 Holding Back the Flood

To complete the Diablo 4 Holding Back the Flood season quest, you must finish chapters one and two of the Season Journey.

You can find the tasks you need to complete any of the seven chapters available throughout the season by pressing the U key and clicking on Season Journey to bring up the chapters. You don’t need to complete all of the objectives in each chapter, as the first one only requires seven of the nine objectives to be done to give you the rewards and unlock the next chapter. Here are all the objectives you need to complete in each of the two chapters:

  • Collect a Malignant Heart.
