It's that time of year when you can participate in festive events to earn limited-time rewards and Devil 4 adds its own winter event to the mix in the form of Slay Ride to Hell. If you're eager to hunt Treasure Goblins for sport and receive extra rewards for killing them, this event is for you. Fortunately, you don't have to accomplish this task alone, as it would be too difficult for one person or group to accomplish. Instead, each goblin kill is added to every other player's kill count, making it a community event.
Slay Ride to Hell will start soon and you will have a few weeks to participate, helping the community unlock rewards each time a specific number of Treasure Goblins are killed. Naturally, more goblins killed means you'll have access to increasingly powerful rewards, and that's not the only benefit you'll find during the event. If you haven't launched the game in a while and are looking for a reason to jump back into the fray, this could be the event you've been waiting for.

How to start the Slay Ride To Hell in Diablo 4
Prepare your death bells
Starting and participating in the Slay Ride to Hell event is quite simple in Devil 4. All you need to do is log in during the stipulated period of time and start hunting – and killing – Treasure Goblins. When a new level is unlocked, you can collect your rewards at Goblin Square in Kyovashad and then return to hunting. Due to the nature of this event, it is helpful to understand the best methods for farming Treasure Goblins and accept the frustration that comes with some goblins escaping, depending on the circumstances in which they appear.
Treasure Goblins are random with regards to when and where they appearbut you can follow some tips to increase your chances of finding one. First, Fractured Peak's Cellars and Novek's Treasure Trove are locations that appear to have a higher chance of a Treasure Goblin appearing compared to other cellars in the world.
You'll probably have better luck finding Treasure Goblins in places like Nightmare Dungeons and Greed Shrines.
What makes Treasure Goblins difficult to kill is their tendency to flee. This means they often make you chase them over long distances, which brings the danger of attracting the attention of additional enemies, making your goblin hunt more difficult. Because of this, it is easy to miss a Treasure Goblin as it may escape if you are surrounded by other enemies. Try to keep hitting the goblin as often as possible, causing harm to someone delays their escape.
