Progressing through all seven Season Journey Chapters is the main objective for many players in Diablo 4 Season 1, known as the Season of the Malignant. By completing each Chapter, players are rewarded with various prizes, including new Aspects that are exclusive to the Codex and previously only found on Legendary items, such as Shockwave.

With each tier of the Season Journey, players gain access to new powers in their Codex, usually one for each class. However, Chapter 5 and 6 offer a classless Aspect as a reward. Diablo 4 introduces a total of seven new Aspects: five for specific classes and two unrestricted Aspects. Fortunately, players can quickly start experimenting with these new abilities as they receive them at the end of Chapter 1.
