Diablo 4’s Season of Witchcraft has arrived, and it has added a brand new questline to the game. This new series of quests introduces the central mechanics of Season 7, and fans who want to engage with the seasonal offerings will need to work through it. The first step in that process is starting the Season 7 quest inDiablo 4, and this guide explains exactly how that is done.
The way by which the Season 7 quest is started is contingent upon whether a player owns theVessel of Hatredexpansion and if they have completed its campaign. Indeed,Diablo 4playerswho have bought the expansion but have not finished its campaign will have some additional work to do before they can dive into the Season of Witchcraft, though it should not take too long to address that work.

Diablo 4: How to Start Season 7
Create a Seasonal Character
Players who want to experienceDiablo 4’s Season of Witchcraftshould begin by creating aSeasonalcharacter. Fans will have the opportunity to select the Seasonal option when they reach the"finalize"tab during character creation, though they should read through the next section before they choose “start game.”
Confirm Campaign State
There is a button that allows players to change campaign state near the top of the “finalize” menu, and they should click on that button, pursue one of the following options, and start the game:
Talk to Gelena in Gea Kul
Players who haveskipped the original campaign or theVessel of Hatredcampaign, should find that they have aseasonal waypoint in Gea Kulas soon as their characters enterDiablo 4’s Sanctuary. That waypoint marksGelena, and fans should speak with her to start the Oaths and Debts seasonal quest.
However, if the player hasstarted with theVessel of Hatredcampaign, they will need tocomplete its prologuebefore they can speak with Gelena. For full clarity, the DLC’s prologue begins with a quest called Rekindled Faith and ends with a quest called Enmity Rising, and the aforementioned seasonal waypoint will appear in Gea Kul as soon as fans work through it.
