Blue Posts on the Kanai's Event

For those who haven't been following the news about the Kanai's Event, a few recent blue posts explained how it works. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need a Staff of Herding to access the event, and it will be available only during March - the month of birth of Kevin Kanai Griffith. Read below.

1. Bring the Staff of Herding with you. (Not sure if it has to be the inferno version but mine is)

2. Go to the Immortal Throne scene at Sescheron, ACT3

3. Kanai's soul will awake and open a new red portal to a new cow level

4. Kanai's soul will fight togther with you. He can WW! To confirm: you do not need the Staff of Herding for this. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums) The Kanai event has actually been present since Patch 2.4.0 launched, but is only available during March - the real world birth month of Kevin Kanai Griffith, the artist for whom Kanai's Cube (and King Kanai) is named.



For those of you who may not know, Kevin was a talented and dedicated member of the Diablo III development team who passed away in October of 2014 from a rare form of cancer. If you'd like to read more about Kevin, we included a short biography of his contributions to Diablo (and Blizzard as a whole) in the Kanai's Cube preview.



This event is a chance for folks to get to adventure with Kanai one more time. We hope you enjoy the opportunity as much as we do. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
