Hallow's Wake is a recurring seasonal event in Diablo Immortal.

Lore

"Crawling out their graves

who knows if they’ll misbehave.
These hellacious haunts like to flaunt,
Their handiwork leaving Sanctuary gaunt.
For 666 years they have reanimated in celebration,
Hang around and you’ll see they live up to reputation.
Don’t be fooled by their late-night revels,

These sinister spookies are worse than devils."

Humans are possessed by various fiends during the event

Hallow's Wake is celebrated in Khanduras. It commemorates the time when the boundary separating the living and dead grows paper thin. For a short while, two realms fuse into one for Hallow's Wake, where dastardly demons and specters run amok in mischievous harmony, the wrath of vengeful spirits spreading across the land. During Hallow's Wake, all the monstrousness in humanity's heart is made manifest, and humans may be possessed by fiends. In the darkness of Hallow's Wake, deciphering between man and beast is nearly impossible—a trick of the mind, or something far more foreboding?

On the night, undead rise from their graves, but only for the duration of the event. At least in one case, the shambling dead may be dissuaded by the wearing of costumes that honor Hallow's Wake. Indeed, it is said that Hallow's Wake absolves only those who serve it.

Trivia

This section contains facts and trivia relevant to this article.

• The event appears to be inspired by Halloween and/or Samhain.
• In-universe, it bears similarities to the Night of Souls.
• The 666 figure in the song is possibly a reference to "the Devil's number" (666). However, if one takes the figure literally, and that the song is sung during the timeframe of Diablo Immortal, the first Hallow's Wake would have been held in 604.
