Diablo 4 Season 7 Headhunts: What Kind Of Game Experience Will You Experience In This New Game Content?

Posted: Jan 14, 2025

Diablo 4, which is loved by many players, will enter its seventh season on January 21st, with the theme of Season of Witchcraft. It has added a lot of new game content, including but not limited to the addition of Witchcraft powers, a new game reputation system, and a new zone event called Headhunts that will be introduced in this guide.

In this new game event, you may experience a completely different combat experience and functions from previous seasons. Here, we will give you a detailed introduction to these Headhunts and the new game content based on the information currently released, so that you can explore it after the season is released.

Diablo 4 Season 7 Headhunts: What Kind Of Game Experience Will You Experience In This New Game Content?

About Headhunts

Headhunts in Season 7 are similar to Helltides in previous seasons, so like this type of event, Tree of Whispers will periodically activate it in random areas of Sanctuary. After activation, several types of specific events will be provided in these areas, and each event will provide you with Grim Favors.

You can think of Headhunts as similar to Helltides, where you have to fight bosses like Restless Rot, defeat specific enemies in specific areas, and patrol areas with NPCs. In most cases, you can complete the specific events in one go if your build is strong enough.

Headrotten

Headrotten is also a new addition to Sanctuary, and there are several variants of enemies. After you defeat these very scary monsters, you will be rewarded with Restless Rot, which is an important crafting material for Season 7’s new gear Occult Gems, as well as a large amount of Diablo 4 Gold.

Completing Whispers in Headhunt will spawn numerous Exposed Roots, and there is a certain chance to get Uprooted Cocoon, which can spawn some Headless Husks. These Husks have a chance to be possessed by Fugitive Head, so you need to defeat these very complex monsters one by one in Headrotten.

It’s important to note that exploring Headrotten at higher difficulty levels and using the new Draught of Whispers will increase your chances of encountering those Husks, so if you want to farm gear and Diablo 4 Gold in it, you can do it in Torment IV.

After you defeat Elites, you can pick up Fugitive Head, which you can use with Restless Rot and Gem Fragments to craft Occult Gems at Tree of Whispers. Of course, as Diablo 4 items, these new gems will also have Magic, Rare, and Legendary differences, and the characteristics and effects they can provide to build are also different.

Headhunt Whispers

You can find a variety of Whisper activities and objectives in Headhunt, which is the most effective way to gain The Coven Reputation in Season 7. Some tasks only take a minute or two to complete.

Although some activities can be a bit tedious, it's fun to just look at them as a way to farm reputation. Here are the names of the specific Whispers activities and the tasks you need to complete in them.

  • Dispel: Kill enemies standing in a large purple void zone. However, it should be noted that enemies will continue to spawn in this zone, and you need to defeat a steady stream of enemies until runs out.
  • Fugitive: Defeat a Headless Husk in any area where Headhunt is activated.
  • Patrol: Defeat enemies in the circular boundary of the patrolling guard, which can be found by the shield icon on the minimap.
  • Purge the Rot: Kill any Headrotten enemies while Headhunt is active.
  • Scour: Search for a specified number of herbs in a specified area. The advice here is to collect as many herbs as possible, because you will also need them in high quantities in combat.
  • Seek: Talk to ghostly frogs and follow them for a distance. Your focus is not on these frogs, but on the Headrotten that will appear at any time and kill them.
  • Shepherd: Enter the boundary around wild animals and accompany them to the safety zone.
  • Wisps: This is the hardest of the entire activity. You need to destroy Exposed Root and follow Wisps that just spawned, but stay within its boundaries. During this time, you also need to kill a group of Headrotten. This process will repeat several times until Wisps’ health is fully restored.
  • Slay: Kill designated Elite enemies in Headhunt zone.

About Silent Rootholds

In fact, Silent Rootholds is very similar to Hellbreaches, Nightmare Dungeons, and Infernal Hordes, which are short-lived seasonal dungeons. The information currently known is that some familiar mechanics may appear in it, such as the need to use Whispering Woods before exploring, which is very similar to Nightmare Dungeon Sigils in previous seasons.

Once you enter Silent Roothold, you may encounter Rites, Rituals, and Ceremonies, which are actually very similar to Boons and Banes in Infernal Hordes in Season 5, increasing the rewards you get from exploring, such as Diablo 4 Gold and loot, but the difficulty will be greatly increased. Here are some examples for you to use as a reference.

  • Rite of Engorged Hearts: Increases the health of Root-spawned enemies by 20%, and adds an Exposed Roots spawn in the next section.
  • Rite of Hubris: Increases the damage of Root-spawned Bosses and Elites by 50%, and adds an Exposed Roots spawn in the next section.
  • Ritual of Aching Thirst: The cooldown of potions you use in this mechanic is increased by 3 seconds, but Roots now grant you a Minor Reward.
  • Ritual of Futility: Root-spawned Bosses and Elites in this mechanic have a chance to become Unstoppable, but grant you a Minor Reward.
  • Ritual of Rust and Rain: All your resistances in this mechanic are reduced by 20%, but the rewards you receive from Roots are increased by one.
  • Ritual of Shackles: Your dodge cooldown is increased by 3 seconds, but also grants you a Minor Reward.

These are some mechanics you can currently encounter in Silent Rootholds, but it should be noted that there are many criteria for completing this dungeon, such as performing two 2 Rites, removing Exposed Roots, or defeating a boss, etc. You can choose the mechanics you want to challenge after the new season is released, although they will sometimes appear repeatedly.

The above are some details about Headhunts in the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 7. In this new season, you may get a completely different gaming experience in the new game content, but before exploring, if your gold inventory is insufficient, you can participate in the frequent giveaways in IGGM Discord, so that you can get a step ahead at the beginning of the season and get the strongest build. I wish you a happy game!
