Realmwalkers return in the Season of Death Awakening, once again serving as powerful enemies connected to the growing threat spreading across Sanctuary.
Unlike their previous appearance, these towering creatures are now tied to the Ullo Sar’s rituals, acting as living gateways between Sanctuary and Pandemonium.
Defeating Realmwalkers is an important part of the seasonal progression, as they grant access to Deathtoll Chambers where even greater rewards await.
What Are Realmwalkers?
Realmwalkers are massive creatures that serve as living bridges between Sanctuary and Pandemonium, allowing demonic forces to pour through the growing Ruptures.
Although they first appeared in an earlier season, Realmwalkers return with a new purpose during the Season of Death Awakening and are closely tied to the Ullo Sar’s plans.
To challenge a Realmwalker, you must first complete an eligible Rupture. Surging Ruptures have a chance to summon one with Mastery, while Colossal Ruptures always summon a Realmwalker after completion.
Fighting Realmwalkers
Realmwalkers have an enormous health pool, and the camera zooms out once the battle begins, giving you a much wider view of the encounter.
Throughout the fight, you’ll need to stay mobile to avoid their devastating area attacks and ranged projectiles while continuing to deal damage whenever possible.
Additional enemies will periodically emerge during the encounter, so clearing them out or avoiding unnecessary fights can help you stay focused on the Realmwalker.
At certain points, the Realmwalker becomes invulnerable and begins summoning pillars along with more enemies, temporarily preventing you from damaging it.
Destroy the summoned pillars and eliminate any remaining threats before resuming your assault, repeating the process until the Realmwalker is finally defeated.
Realmwalker Rewards
Defeating a Realmwalker rewards you with seasonal loot while opening a portal that leads directly to a Deathtoll Chamber.
Inside, you’ll face another seasonal encounter that offers additional rewards after the enemies have been defeated.
Deathtoll Chambers are also one of the best sources of Superior Lair Keys, making Realmwalkers worth challenging whenever the opportunity arises.
Verdict
Realmwalkers are among the most rewarding encounters in the Season of Death Awakening, serving as the gateway to additional seasonal content.
Although they cannot be challenged directly, completing Surging and Colossal Ruptures will eventually lead you to these powerful enemies.
Making Realmwalkers part of your farming routine provides a reliable way to earn better rewards while progressing through the seasonal activities.
