As for the mode itself, Blizzard has confirmed that Infernal Hordes will feature waves that last 90 seconds each, and once this ends, you are required to kill any remaining foes and choose between three Infernal Offers. The next wave will kick off once you’ve picked one.

Successfully slay all waves in the Tier you are attempting to advance to the Well of Hatred then battle the Fell Council. Upon defeating the Fell Council, spend your Burning Aether on Spoils of Hell.
