Diablo 4 DLC: Which Bosses Require To Be Defeated?

Diablo 4 Season 8 was released on April 29, 2025 and is expected to end in July. It will last for two or three months. In addition to updating a series of seasonal activities and boss skills, this new season also rebalances the game’s high difficulty, especially in endgame bosses. New seasonal activities mean that players have new ways to gain experience and equipment, and new boss skills mean that players can try new ways to customize equipment. Adjusting the difficulty of the game and rebalancing the difficulty of Lair Bosses means that the late-stage farming boss and the most effective way to farm the boss may change. In addition, the player’s 0-60 level upgrade curve may not change much, but the time required from Torment 1 to Torment 4 may become longer. Players need more time to farm bosses repeatedly to get full unique and ancestral equipment loadouts. Since D4 S8 has many changes and new activities compared to the previous ones, the following will introduce some tips to make player leveling and farming more convenient. 1. Get Mythic Uniques For players who want to get Mythic Uniques in Diablo4 Season8, defeating higher-tier Lair Bosses in Torment 4 as much as possible is the best way to get a chance to open Hoards. There are some Unique Tributes that can be dropped after defeating the world boss, which gives players a chance to get Mythic Uniques after challenging Undercity. If players do not want to increase Torment difficulty to level 1 or above, they can also get Mythic Uniques through crafting, which requires Resplendent Spark. The following will introduce two ways to get Resplendent Spark. The first method is to defeat the boss of Torment 1 or higher: Lilith, she has a separate boss skill to unlock, and she does not need to be included in the key rotation. Defeating Lilith can be rewarded with Resplendent Spark, but now it will be more difficult to defeat her after the redesign. Another method is that players can obtain Resplendent Spark by unlocking the season reputation level, and can farm enough Lair Boss to obtain Spectral Ash to upgrade the reputation of the season. 2. Obtain Boss Keys The major changes in S8 include: remaking Torment difficult tiers, challenging Lair Boss battles, and changing the way players farm bosses. Unlike before, if players want to fight a boss, they can summon the boss directly without consuming other things. In Torment difficulty, defeat the boss and unlock the related boss power. If you want Lair Boss Hoard, you must have a special key to get the related special items and rewards. If the player fights low-level bosses such as Beast in the Ice, Varshan, Grigoire, or Urivar (Vessel of Hatred only), Hoards will still drop keys that can open the treasures of higher-level bosses such as Andariel, Duriel, and Harbinger of Hatred (Vessel of Hatred only). Belial is the highest-level boss, but if you want his hoard keys, you must defeat another Lair Boss and then randomly encounter Belial in order to drop them. In addition to farming Lair Bosses to obtain uniques and boss keys, you can also get more boss keys through Tribute of Titans in Kurast Undercity. 3. Accumulate Experience And Level Up The key to upgrading the difficulty of Torment in Diablo 4 S8 is still Pit of Artificer in Cerrigar. Players must successfully pass Pit level 10 to open Torment 1, and then farm endgame activities and items. However, Pit is not just a farming map for increasing difficulty. Players need to farm maps and kill enemies quickly to gain experience and advance, so they can choose to accumulate experience by challenging higher-level Pit. Players need to complete Pit challenges within a specified time in order to upgrade Glyphs and embed them in Paragon Boards. 4. Use Tribute To Farm Monsters There is a limited-time trial in Kurast: Kurast Undercity. Players can burn Tribute to ensure that they can get specific rewards after completing the trial. However, these copies can only be challenged by players who own the Vessel of Hatred DLC. This is one of the best ways to farm Lair Boss Keys this season. What rewards players receive depends on which Tribute is burned. For example, burning Tribute of Titans will drop Lair Boss Keys after the dungeon. Some Tributes guarantee Rune drops, some guarantee Obducite in masterworking, and some unique Tributes give players a chance to get mythic unique items and Diablo 4 Gold. 5. Get Gear And Materials With Helltides For players, Helltides have always been a quick way to level up and get gear. Once players open Torment 1, they can use Infernal Horde Compasses. If you don’t have Infernal Horde Compasses, you can challenge Helltides and Blood Maiden to drop them. Using these Compasses can get rich rewards, and it is also one of the best ways to get Obducite for masterworking gear. Successfully defeating enemies and completing Helltides can also earn a lot of Paragon experience. Once players have mastered some boss skills and reached the early levels, they can quickly level up by completing Helltide activities that refresh regularly on the map and unlocking Kurast Undercity as soon as possible. Players who own Vessel of Hatred expansion can challenge Strongholds in Nahantu after reaching level 50, so that they can reach level 60 faster. This allows players to level up quickly to the maximum level in a few hours. 6. Seasonal Activities Season 8’s seasonal event Apparition Incursions are not very difficult. Players defeat bosses in designated areas until a spectral version of Belial appears. Players can use these activities as a way to increase their level and gain some boss skills. The right combination of these skills may greatly improve the player’s strength. Since Diablo 4 Season update, there have been a series of updates, which may require players to adapt. This process may be very painful, but no matter how D4 is willing to make changes, everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

When you’re building a strong build in Diablo 4, you’ll probably want Uniques, which are gear with a lot of interesting passive affixes that can provide some very helpful buffs to your build, such as improving your survivability or combat ability. Usually, some Uniques can only play a major role in specific builds, but there are also some Uniques that are suitable for multiple Class builds because of their universal power and high flexibility. Ugly Bastard Helm is one of them. While this helmet is suitable for most builds, it has a huge buff to Berserking’s damage ability, so it will be more suitable for your Barbarian, especially if you are preparing to enter the endgame stage of Diablo 4, it will make your entire build have unstoppable damage ability. Given the power of Ugly Bastard Helm, you may need to get the specific affixes and unique effects of this helmet from this guide, as well as the effective methods of farming this unique, so that you can make an optimal Barbarian build as soon as possible. About Ugly Bastard Helm First, let’s take a look at the specific effectiveness of this helmet. When you use it in a non-Barbarian build, you can only get a 10%-85% increase in fire resistance. Although this will give you a certain increase in your defensive capabilities, it is not worth spending a lot of Diablo 4 Gold and energy for a non-Barbarian build to get a piece of gear with fire resistance, so it is not recommended here. But if you put this helmet in a Barbarian build, in addition to this fire resistance, your Aggressive Resistance will also increase by 1-3 levels to enhance the defensive capabilities of Barbarian build, which is already very solid. Not only that, although Ugly Bastard Helm is a defensive gear, your Prolific Fury will also increase by 2-5 points, and your Wrath of the Berserker skill cooldown will be reduced by 8%-12.5%, which will greatly enhance your damage ability and help you clear enemies faster. With the help of this Unique, the lack of damage in Barbarian build that was previously criticized by Diablo 4 players has been improved to a certain extent in Season 7. On top of that, if you use Lucky Hit in combat, you will have a 40% chance to deal 605-6,750 points of increased fire damage, which is something that users of this class could not imagine before. Although many gear exclusive to the Barbarian build in this season will provide it with strong fire damage buffs, the buffs it provides are directly applied to the original skills such as Prolific Fury or Wrath of the Berserker, so its buff value will be directly reflected in your combat and metadata. In contrast, Crown of Lucion provides a very small bonus, as there are few builds that can fully match it to take advantage of it. In addition, Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty and Godslayer Crown, although they can be used by many builds, the clearing speed bonus they provide is relatively small, so they are not suitable for use in the endgame. How To Farm Ugly Bastard Helm? While Ugly Bastard Helm is a Unique that will drop from any fight you have in Torment 1, this Legendary Unique Item is most commonly dropped from some endgame boss encounters, Kurast Undercity, The Pit, Purveyor of Curiosities, and Infernal Hordes. Of these, Purveyor of Curiosities and endgame boss encounters allow you to target this Ugly Bastard Helm for farming, because you can do targeted farming by looking at the loot list of the bosses or gambling for Caps at Purveyor of Curiosities. Unfortunately, Purveyor of Curiosities has been nerfed in the current season, so the best way to target this Unique effectively is to challenge Lord Zir in different Torment Tiers, which requires you to use some Diablo 4 Items to summon it. In the current season, Lord Zir can be summoned in Ancient’s Seat dungeon at any Torment difficulty, located in Darkened Way in Fractured Peaks. You need to have collected enough Exquisite Blood by completing Legion Events or defeating World Bosses, Helltide Blood Maiden, or Treasure Goblins. Each summoning of Lord Zir costs you 12 Exquisite Blood, so you need to get as many materials as possible from the above events so that you can quickly challenge Lord Zir at higher difficulties, which will increase the drop rate of Ugly Bastard Helm. Once you have collected all Exquisite Blood, you can place it in Bloodied Altar at a different Torment difficulty to complete the summoning of this boss. During the battle, you should stand in the corner as much as possible and prioritize killing the minions summoned by the boss, to ensure your own safety in order to obtain the final loot and Diablo 4 Gold. The above is the working principle and farming method of Ugly Bastard Helm, which is very important for Barbarian builds in Diablo 4 Season 7. I hope that you can use the more effective farming methods introduced in this guide to get this extremely useful gear into your Barbarian build quickly. I wish you a happy game!

It’s been a while since the release of Diablo 4 Season of Witchcraft. So far, everything seems to be working well in Diablo 4 Season 7, with no major bugs. The developers are actively tweaking the game, and in the latest patch, they adjusted the UI of Headhunt and enhanced some Witch Powers. However, recently some players have discovered a way to level up quickly a new character in the new season without doing anything, provided that you have another character with high levels and good equipment. How Does It work? This method was posted by Reddit user Last_Garage_2346. He played the game as a Barbarian. Last_Garage_2346 focused on Whispers quest until he stored 30 reward chests. These 30 rewards are stored in Stash. Then he switched to his other character, Rogue. Since Stash is shared between each character, Last_Garage_2346 successfully took out 30 endgame chests from Stash. In this process, the rewards originally belonging to Barbarian were transferred to Rogue, which allowed Rogue to gain a lot of experience in a short period and reach the maximum level of 60 in a very short time. Upgrading to the maximum level is not a big problem. More importantly, this process provides a lot of Diablo 4 Gold, equipment, weapon materials, etc. for the player’s new character. It is no exaggeration to say that you can get nearly 900 weapons and equipment for your new character in one go. Whatever builds you want to play can be formed almost immediately. This saves you a lot of time. You can even get Glyphs, and Tempering Manuals for your new character. Last_Garage_2346 said that he spent less than three hours to farm all the treasure chests, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the time it takes for players to upgrade normally. In fact, this vulnerability is not a new vulnerability in Season 7. The developers fixed this bug in last year’s patch, but it somehow made a comeback in Season 7. Regardless, this bug can help players save a lot of replay time by giving new characters almost all the equipment they need to complete a build. If you don’t plan to use this bug and want to be a normal player, you will first need to spend a lot of time to upgrade your character to the maximum level, and then you will also need to spend time farming golds, materials, props, etc. Then you need to get a set of suitable equipment for your character, and your character can really play its due power. In Season of Witchcraft, the main content of the player’s farming cycle is Whisper, and then opening the treasure chests you get in your Stash. The XP gained in this process may not matter to your max-level character, but it is actually considerable for a new character. So when you use this bug to level up your new character, you are actually farming Whisper and XP at the same time. Is It Necessary To Use This Bug? Diablo 4’s Lunar New Year event is currently underway, which can bring buffs to players and increase the experience points they gain. This increases the speed at which players level up. In addition, in Diablo 4 Season 7, since Witch Powers are owned by all accounts, when your main character unlocks all Witch Powers, your alt can also use them. This is a huge improvement for your alt. When you have the right Witch Powers, you can lower the difficulty level of the game appropriately, and then take the right Diablo 4 items and go farming a few times. The leveling up speed will be much faster than in previous seasons. Whether it is using the upgrade loophole or the event experience bonus, it is actually reducing the player’s game time. This may be beneficial to players, as reducing the content of repeated games can allow players to focus on more content. But for developers, this loophole is obviously not good. One of the core gameplays of Diablo 4 that can retain players is to obtain equipment through farming enemies and then level up. This loophole basically skips this process for players and directly allows players to open the treasure chest. This may bring a lot of pleasure to players in a short period, but after one or two times, players will get tired of it and switch to other games. This is definitely what developers don’t want to see. The loophole in Diablo 4 Season 7 allows players to realize the endgame build of new characters at a very low cost by transferring endgame treasure chest resources across characters, essentially bypassing the core cycle of character growth, which is equipment accumulation and skill grinding. Although this loophole can save you hundreds of hours of repetitive work, it also eliminates the core fun of Diablo series, so you need to think carefully about whether you really need to exploit this loophole. In addition, this loophole may be fixed soon. If you want to use this loophole, you have to hurry.

Recently, Diablo 4 S6 PTR is being explored and discovered by many players. Obviously, there are many new contents and gameplays in this PTR, including new Skills for each Class. There are currently five Classes in Diablo 4, namely Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer. Although new Classes have been added to new PTR, there is no doubt that these five inherent Classes are still the main ones. Among them, Rogue is one of the more popular Classes, and its new Skills in PTR are undoubtedly also curious about many players. In Diablo 4, Skills of each Class mainly include Active Skills and Passive Skills. Here, based on the various performances of Rogue in current PTR, we will mainly introduce you to Rogue’s new Active Skill. New Active Skill: Dance Of Knives Rogue’s new Active Skill in PTR is called Dance of Knives. As an Active Skill, it is also included in Rogue Class Skill Tree, is part of Agility Cluster, and belongs to Cutthroat Agility Skill. You can find and use it in the game through Icons in Skill Tree Menu. In Diablo 4, you can upgrade Active Skills by consuming a certain amount of Skill Points. Starting from Rank 1, it can be upgraded to Rank 5. After effectively Enhance Dance of Knives, you can start upgrading it. After upgrading, you can get Methodical Dance of Knives or Disciplined Dance of Knives. Note that you can only choose one of the two! So after upgrading, you need to choose the upgrade based on their characteristics and your own needs. Methodical Dance of Knives means that when you stop Channel Dance of Knives, you can throw up to 12 Stun Grenades. Each Stun Grenades can cause 20% Weapon Damage to Enemies. However, the specific number of Stun Grenades thrown depends on the duration of your previous Channel Dance of Knives. Disciplined Dance of Knives means that in combat, you can use Dance of Knives to cause 25% Slow to Enemies for 3 seconds, and each knife has a 20% chance to Pierce Enemy. What Will You Gain When Channel Dance Of Knives? In fact, Dance of Knives can help you move quickly and irregularly among many Enemies to confuse Enemies and make them unable to catch your movement trajectory. During this movement, you can also cause corresponding Damage to Enemies! During use, Dance of Knives can have six Charges and a 1-second Charge Cooldown. If you make relevant optimizations, your Charge speed will be faster. During combat, when you are Channeling this Skill, you can get a 20%+ Movement Speed ​​bonus and a 10%+ Dodge Chance. In terms of Damage, it can throw Knives at Enemies near you. Each knife can cause 42% Weapon Damage to Enemies hit. In addition, Movement Speed ​​is also crucial for Dance of Knives Channel. During Channel Dance of Knives, you can get corresponding Charges for every 30 meters you move. This is actually an Enhancement for Dance of Knives. Charges are essential for your effective Channel Dance of Knives. So in theory, if your Movement Speed ​​is kept fast enough, you can keep Channel Dance of Knives. Try To Combine Dance Of Knives With Other Skills Or Items The power of a combination is always better than fighting alone. In Diablo 4, there are other Rogue Skills and Diablo 4 Items that Rogues can use. Using them in conjunction with Dance of Knives may also bring you unexpected surprise effects. For example, previous Rogue Skills in Diablo 4. When you equip Daggers and Poison Imbuement them, it will give you a certain Damage bonus in combat. This will undoubtedly make you feel more powerful when Channel Dance of Knives. There is a hybrid Poison Imbuement that allows you to cause 75% Damage Boost to Enemies every time you Crit in combat, thus bringing a certain Enhancement. And if you also have Imbuements Concealment Skill when Channel Dance of Knives, then every knife you throw will cause a Critical Strike to Enemies. So if you can combine Dance of Knives and Imbuements Concealment and use them, theoretically, as long as you keep doing this, you can even get unlimited Critical Strike in this way. In addition, you can also combine Damage effect of Dance of Knives with the help provided by other Skills and wearable Armors in the game to form a richer gaming experience. For example, in PTR Key Passive Skill Victimized has been Revamped as never before. On this basis, combined with Charge feature of Dance of Knives’ Movement Speed, an effective new Build is formed. Through this Build, Dance of Knives’ high Attack Speed ​​and Lucky Hit Chances are Enhanced at the same time. This allows Build to fully utilize the advantages of Helmet called Heir of Perdition while maintaining high-intensity DPS. Thereby improving Procs played by Victimized. This means that you can form more effective Damage against Enemies in battle. At this point, I believe you have a certain understanding of the features and usage of Dance of Knives. However, when you experience it in person, you will definitely get more unexpected gains. If you want to communicate with other Diablo 4 players about Dance of Knives, you can enter iGMeet Discord.
