Diablo 4 has reintroduced the Season Journey in a more streamlined form, now known as Season Rank, making seasonal progression much easier to follow.
Advancing through the various ranks allows you to earn rewards from both Bonus Objectives and Capstone Objectives.
One objective that players often struggle with early on is the Invading Forces Bonus Objective, but once you know where to hunt enemies, it becomes far more manageable.
How to Complete Invading Forces Objective?
To complete the Invading Forces Challenge, you will need to defeat 200 of the Lesser Evils’ minions, which includes 4 variants that are tied to each of the Lesser Evils.
This includes the following:
- Infested – Duriel
- Illusory – Belial
- Anguished Souls – Andariel
- Sinful – Azmodan
Finding these types of enemies can be done by going to the locations where each Lesser Boss has an invasion, which makes some locations better than others.
Duriel’s “Infested” minions can be encountered in the Helltide, while Andariel’s minions are tied to the Kurast Undercity challenge, which is only accessible to those who have the expansion.
Belial’s minions are found in The Pit, which this Lesser Evil has taken control of, while Azmodan’s forces are encountered when you summon him.
Invading Forces Rewards
Much like other Bonus Objectives in Season 11, Invading Forces provides you with a Ranking Cache, which is a decent way to get a few items that you may need.
What makes it important, though, is the Smoldering Ashes that you get along with the Ranking Cache, which allows you to purchase Season Blessings.
Best Way To Finish Invading Forces Objective
The earliest way to start piling up the numbers to 200 would be to begin with Duriel’s minions, since you can easily start in the Helltide areas the moment you begin in the season.
Once you have reached the point where you can complete the Rank 2 Capstone Dungeon and unlock The Pit this way, you can start doing the activity.
The Pit is one of the best ways for you to complete Invading Forces since the majority of the enemies will be Illusory enemies, which will allow you to complete this bonus objective quickly.
Verdict
Invading Forces is best completed naturally by focusing on activities tied to Lesser Evil invasions rather than farming it in isolation.
Helltides and The Pit offer the most consistent enemy density early and mid-season, allowing steady progress toward the 200-kill requirement.
Completing this objective early is worthwhile due to the Smoldering Ashes reward, which directly supports long-term seasonal progression through Season Blessings.
