Luckily, you don’t have to undertake this task alone, as it would be a lot for one person or group to accomplish. Instead, every goblin kill is added to the kill count of all other players, making it a community event.
Slay Ride to Hellis starting soon, and you’ll have a couple of weeks to participate, helping the communityunlock rewards each time a specific number of Treasure Goblins are killed.

If you haven’t launched the game in a while and are looking for a reason to jump back into the fray, this might be the event you’ve been waiting for.

To play Diablo 4 on a higher difficulty, players must unlock World Tier 3: Nightmare to scale up the enemies, dungeons, and rewards within the game.
Treasure Goblins arerandom regarding when and where they spawn, but you can follow some tips to increase your odds of coming across one. First, Fractured Peak’s Cellars and Novek’s Treasure Trove are both locations that seem to have a higher chance of a Treasure Goblin spawning compared to other cellars in the world.
You will likely have better luck coming across Treasure Goblins in locations like Nightmare Dungeons and Greed Shrines.
What makes Treasure Goblins challenging to kill is their tendency to run away. This means that they often make you chase them long distances, which comes with the danger of making you draw the attention of additional enemies, hindering your hunt for the goblin. Because of this, it’s easy to lose a Treasure Goblin, as it might be able to escape if you’re swarmed by other enemies. Try to keep hitting the goblin as often as possible, asdealing damage to one delays its escape.
