What are Gathering Legions Events in Diablo 4? - Answered
World Bosses have been one of the major selling points of Diablo 4, but the Gathering Legions are another much less talked about World Event. These group activities can appear in Sanctuary, and they can be confusing the first time you see them appear, but I’m here to outline what the events are and how they work.
Gathering Legions Event Explained in Diablo 4
The Gathering Legions event is a group activity that serves as another World Event in Diablo 4. These legion events spawn in nearly major regions, such as Scosglen or the Dry Steppes. When one of the events is about to begin, you will see a white circle icon appear on the Sanctuary map with the Legions title. When the icon appears, you have five minutes to arrive at the location before the chaos begins.
When the timer is up, the true Gathering Legions event begins in Diablo 4. These are not meant for solo players and they are set up like much more dangerous versions of the standard World Events. As soon as the event begins, you have mere minutes to wipe out waves of goat men that serve as The Gathering Legions. If you can manage to slay enough of these minions, then a ritual will begin with an Elite to summon the Overlord.

Within the legion event I completed in Scosglen, I took down the elite Servant of Hell enemy during the ritual. But there are three in total that can be killed for a mastery reward. I only took out one servant and I was able to move on to another slaying stage. I managed to take out enough enemies in time for the Overlord to appear.

After taking down the Overlord, which acts as the main boss for The Gathering Legions in Diablo 4, you will get your full reward. You can expect some powerful gear and Obols to use at the Purveyor of Curiosities vendor later on.
