With the introduction of The Season of the Infernal Hordes, Diablo 4 has provided players who are starting fresh characters with a new way to get good quality loot early.
This is done in the Hellbreach Dungeons, which you get a taste of when you start the seasonal questline and eventually prepares you for The Infernal Hordes activity.
Hellbreach Dungeon runs will have you collect Burning Aether which can be used later to open reward chests once you have fought the boss at the end.

The Omath Breach is in Kehjistan within the Southern Expanse, which is located to the east of the town of Gea Kul.

Hellbreach Dungeon Walkthrough
The Hellbreach Dungeons start with you completing the main method of obtaining Burning Aether before you reach the part where Infernal Offerings are available.
After choosing the Infernal Offering of your choice, you can proceed to the next area where the same objectives need to be achieved. (This time affected by the Infernal Offering)
Once the second area is complete, you will need to choose another Infernal Offering before trying to defeat the Hell Caller. (You get only one chance to do this part)
Hellbreach Dungeon Rewards
Completing a Hellbreach Dungeon will allow you to use the Burning Aether that you have obtained to open chests that spawn after the fight with the Hell Caller.
There will be 3 different chests for you to choose from, which are the following:
- Spoils of Hell I (Requires 5 Burning Aether) – Rewards high-quality gear.
- Spoils of Hell I (Requires 20 Burning Aether) Rewards even more high-quality gear.
- Spoils of Gold (Requires 1 Burning Aether) – Rewards large amounts of Gold.
How To Get Burning Aether?
Burning Aether is obtained by completing objectives based on which Hellbreach Dungeon you are running, allowing you to obtain a certain amount once you reach the Hell Caller.
Each objective completed will provide you with Burning Aether inside of a Hellbreach Dungeon and you can increase the amount dropped with an Infernal Offering.
Selecting the “Empowered Hell Caller” Infernal Offering will allow you to get 7 Burning Aether from defeating the Hell Caller, which can result in you obtaining a total of 20 Burning Aether.
Verdict
Hellbreach Dungeons are an early-game activity that you can use to quickly get efficient gear that prepares you for upcoming challenges.
Once you have gotten used to Hellbreach Dungeons, you will eventually want to progress to The Infernal Hordes activity to get even more rewards.
Each Hellbreach Dungeon has a different objective that you need to complete, which gives you the option of choosing which one you prefer to grind.
