How to unlock the Turning the Tides achievement in Diablo IV - Definitive Guide

Hey all,

To unlock this one, you need to finish the story first. Once you do that, complete the "story" dungeon to reach World T3.
When you are inside WT3, at random some areas will become Helltide for around 90 mins (hell minions will spawn there and the ground/vibe will become reddish).
Every enemy can drop Aberrant Cinder, from the weakest to the toughest ones. Also chests can drop some.

It took me around 2 hours to hit 1000 and you can do IN MULTIPLE SESSIONS, so don't worry if you enter a helltide zone with little time left.
My build wasn't perfect at all, with a perfect build it could be way less, it really depends on how fast you can cleave mobs. High tier builds probably can do in 1 hour.
To keep track you can check on your challenge list, the one called "Turning the tides", it shows how many you got out of 1000,

Happy hunting!

I beg to differ on the location of the Challenge for checking progress. For me, they are in the Exploration section under Helltide. There are three for progress: Infernal Loot for picking up 100 Cinders, Infernal Spoils for picking up 500, and Infernal Riches for 1000.

do you need to keep them all at once or you can use them for chest and still have the cheevo ?

You can use them, don't worry! Also, after the helltide goes away, you lose all the cinders you have! Better use them instead!

This is an edge case but still worth mentioning. You need to collect the 1000 on Xbox. The game has cross progression across all platforms and if you collect some on PC and then continue to play on Xbox, what you collected on PC will not count.

It might but i did not test it on my end. Only one i did test and experience was the 1000 aberrant cinders. And since this happen for it, i would not be surprise if that would happen for all other achievement that count something. Like the map exploration, Hitting Level 50 or 100, the 10 Chaos cache, etc. Not saying it will happen but there is a high chance they follow the same logic.

So...it just tallies the ones you collect? Or do you have to 'bank' them by opening chests? And does dying, thereby losing 1/2 what you've collected, affect the total?

@Meiphora - Just saying, I'm not sure WHAT the trigger is, but I have not collected a single Cinder on Xbox, but had the cheevo pop for me when I logged into the xbox after getting the 1000 goal on PC. I also had the campaign clear and world boss cheevo pop on XB from getting it on PC. At the same time, I upgraded SO MUCH GEAR on PC, but it didn't pop on xbox until I did 3 new upgrades.

EDIT: Also just had the defeat Uber Lilith pop on console after I recently did it on PC. I basically play on PC, then switch to console when I'm about to get a cheevo. In this case, I logged onto XB to craft my level 90 potion and the UL cheevo popped when I logged in.

@Meiphora ..
one question.. do you think the same reasoning is valid with the achievement of exploring the map? I explored a bit on pc and a bit on xbox.. he gave me the challenge completed while playing from xbox but not the achievement.. are you saying that if I redo the whole map with another character he will give it to me? even if the in-game challenge is now out?

In order to unlock Helltide zones in Diablo 4 you need to do a few things:
  • Firstly, you need to finish the main campaign.
  • Then, you’ll need to finish the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon.
  • And finally, you’ll need to set the game to World Tier 3 at the monument in Kyovashad.
Then, all you need to do is keep an eye out for areas in the world that are seemingly covered in blood in the game’s world map. Once you see one - there’s also an icon on it saying “The Helltide Rises” on top of it - head there.

This achievement requires you collect 1,000 Aberrant Cinders, which is the currency of Helltide zones. Enemies throughout the Helltide will drop them - not every enemy will though, however, the bigger they are, the more you’re likely to get.

Simply collect 1,000 and this achievement is yours.

A few things to keep in mind when going for this achievement:
  • The 1,000 is cumulative. You don’t need to get them in one Helltide, or have them all on your persons at once.
  • You’ll lose half the Aberrant Cinders you’re holding when you die, however, they already count towards the count when you pick one up.
  • You can keep track of how many you’ve picked up if you go into the main in-game menu, go to Collections, then go to Challenges, and then down to Exploration and then Helltide. The Infernal Loot challenge tracks where you are on your way to 1,000.
  • You can also get Aberrant Cinders from Tortured Chests, from picking up Fiend Roses, from interacting with Screaming Hell Veins (which also drop Forgotten Souls for upgrading your equipment) and interacting with the environmental objects that glow red (like a red glowing Wretched Souls).
Simply get 1,000 and this achievement is yours.

Performed in the “Onslaught” event, it appears on the map as a red sword in flames after completing the main story campaign. The event does not take place all the time and lasts 1 hour, the game announces the beginning, but it is easy to miss, so it is better to look at the map. The essence of the “onslaught” is to kill mobs and they will drop ash, for which chests will open in the same area. You need to collect 1000 of this ash (not at once).
