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.

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)
