The ancient civilisation of the Vaal was built on sacrifice. They understood that in order to attain great power, great risks must be taken. On behalf of a Vaal entity known only as Chaos, the Trialmaster seeks to discover challengers who are willing to make immense sacrifices in the pursuit of power. As you survive each of his challenges, will you risk it all and accept his next Ultimatum?

Ultimatum league was a challenge league. The PC version launched on April 16, 2021 (UTC), alongside the Version 3.14.0 patch. It ended on July 19, 2021 (UTC).

In this league, the Trialmaster offers the Trials of Chaos, where you must battle against waves of monsters in an enclosed area with a dangerous modifier added to earn a reward. With each win, you can either claim your prize or start a new wave with an additional modifier added to it for bigger and better rewards, but if you lose, all the rewards you've obtained are lost.
