↖ Echo of Varon

To summon Echo of Varon, gather malignant body parts from The Whisper caches as you progress through the game. This boss is relatively easy to summon, making it accessible for most players.

 

↖ Grigor the Galvanic Saint

Grigor can be summoned with living steel, which you obtain from the tortured offerings within HellTides. Look for chests that require 300 souls to unlock. This boss adds a bit of challenge to the summoning process, requiring you to venture deeper into the game.

 

↖ Beast in Ice

To summon the Beast in Ice, you need to complete level 30 or higher nightmare dungeons to obtain distilled fear. Craft a Glacial Fissure Nightmare Sigil with distilled fear to challenge this boss. This boss introduces a multi-step process and a higher difficulty level.

 

↖ Lord Zir

To summon Lord Zir, collect Exquisite blood from doing Legion Events and World bosses. Please note that you need to have completed the campaign to access this boss.

 

↖ Duriel, the King of Maggots

Duriel is summoned by combining an item received from Echo of Varon and Grigor the Galvanic Saint. Gather enough of these items to summon Duriel. He drops unique and Uber uniques that were previously harder to obtain.

 

↖ Loot from the New Bosses

Each boss in Diablo 4's patch 1.2 drops unique items that cater to specific character classes and builds. You can target farm these uniques by summoning the respective boss connected to your desired loot. 

Here's a glimpse of the loot each boss drops:

• Echo of Varon: Necromancer, Barbarian, Rogue, and Sorcerer-specific uniques.
• Grigor the Galvanic Saint: Barbarian, Rogue, and Druid-specific uniques.
• Beast in Ice: Barbarian, Rogue, Druid, and Necromancer-specific uniques.
• Lord Zir: Barbarian, Necromancer, Sorcerer, Rogue, and Druid-specific uniques.
• Duriel, the King of Maggots: A wide range of uniques and Uber uniques for various character classes.

 

↖ Where to Find the Bosses

The new bosses are scattered across the map, each with a designated location:

• Echo of Varon: Malignant Burrow
• Grigor the Galvanic Saint: Hall of the Penitent
• Beast in Ice: Glacial Fissure
• Lord Zir: Darkened Way
• Duriel, the King of Maggots: Gap and Kass

These locations make it easier to summon and farm the bosses as part of your regular gameplay activities.

 

↖ Preparing for Boss Fights

Before taking on these bosses, it's crucial to prepare your character by maximizing resistances through potions and gear. Potions can increase your resistance by a set amount and a percentage, helping you reach the resistance cap of 70 with a max of 85. Make sure to craft and use potions tailored to the boss's primary damage type.

 

↖ Summoning the Bosses

We provided a detailed example of summoning Grigor the Galvanic Saint to give you an idea of the process. Each boss has its unique summoning requirements and locations, so explore the map and gather the necessary materials to summon them.
