Diablo 4’s second season, Season of Blood, brought a brand-new overworld activity known as the Blood Harvest. This horrific, vampire-filled curse conveniently moves around at the top of every hour, and it contains a rather unusual obelisk: the Vampiric Syphon.
What Are Vampiric Syphons in Diablo 4?
Vampiric Syphons are marked on the minimap using the same icon that appears for all notable objects, like prisoners to free or structures to destroy. Unlike those, though, they aren’t linked to any specific quest or activity: rather, think of them like standalone events you can utilize alone or with others. Syphons appear at random, and I’m usually lucky to find one per Blood Harvest or so. You can see exactly what they look like in the image above. To activate a Syphon, simply click on it and do not leave the red circle that appears on the ground.
