Diablo 4 Season 7 Boss Over ...
Well, the bad news came suddenly. The launch time of Season 8 was delayed by two weeks. Players may have to wait until the end of April to play. Fortunately, the patch 0.2.0 of Path of Exile 2 will be launched on March 20, and players will have rich content to play again. How should players spend the days when neither Path of Exile 2 nor Diablo 4 are updated? Why not go and farm the bosses again? BOSS Classification The boss battle in Diablo 4 can provide rich rewards. It is also the most reliable way for players to obtain unique items. There are 3 types of bosses in the game: Pinnacle Bosses Ladder Bosses or Summoned Bosses World Bosses These bosses have different difficulty levels and different rewards. Among them, the only Pinnacle Boss is Echo of Lilith, but she basically does not provide any rewards, just to show your strength. Pinnacle Bosses: Echo Of Lilith When your character successfully reaches World Tier 4, you will unlock the fight against Echo of Lilith. The boss fight is located in Echo of Hatred Capstone Dungeon in Nevesk, Fractured Peaks. Defeating her will earn you a title and a mount. No other unique weapons, materials, or even Diablo 4 Gold are available. This boss fight is very difficult, so you should bring your best gear. Learn More: How To Defeat Echo Of Lilith In Diablo 4 Season 7?

To fight these bosses, you need to prepare their summoning materials. These summoning materials can be obtained from Whisper Caches, Elites, Treasure Goblins, World Bosses, and Hellborne. Fighting these bosses will drop unique items, and the higher the difficulty, the more items they drop. Each boss has unique drops, and you can check the boss’s loot list in advance to decide which bosses you want to challenge. Andariel, Maiden Of Anguish Summoning Location: Hanged Man’s Hall in eastern Kehjistan. Required Items: Pincushioned Dolls and Sandscorched Shackles. These two items can be collected by defeating The Beast in the Ice and Lord Zir. Andariel and Duriel are the bosses with the highest probability of dropping Mythic Uniques.

Diablo 4 Season 7 Fugitive ...
The arrival of Diablo 4 Season 7 introduces a brand new currency, Fugitive Heads. This is not only a necessary material for making Occult Gems, but can also be transformed into Restless Rot, which is an important resource for improving builds, so it is highly sought after by players in the new season. However, Fugitive Heads are very rare, and they are even rarer than Greater Affixes Legendary items under Torment difficulty. This is interesting for ordinary items, and it is entirely possible that players will not see a Head until they reach very high Paragon levels. Now let’s guide you step by step on how to get these Fugitive Heads. Using Draught Of Whispers First, if you have Draught of Whispers, use it first. This is a consumable elixir in Diablo 4 that increases your chance of encountering Fugitive Heads by 50%, and the effect lasts for one hour. Draught of Whispers can come from multiple sources, for example, they can come from Whisper Caches, or from Rootholds Dungeons, or from Headless Husks, all of which increase your chances of getting Fugitive Heads. Playing On The Highest Difficulty Next, you should play with the highest difficulty. You may have noticed that Fugitive Heads only drop at Torment difficulty. So if you play at any difficulty below Torment, you will hardly get any Fugitive Heads. And since the chance of getting Fugitive Heads increases with Torment Difficulty Tier. So ideally, if you want to maximize your farming efficiency, you should farm in Torment IV, if your character is capable of doing so. So, if you want to get more Heads in a short period of time, don’t be stingy about investing Diablo 4 Gold in your build to better optimize the build effect. Farming Headhunts By far, the best source of Fugitive Heads is Headhunts. These Headhunts are the new seasonal areas in Diablo 4, and all you have to do is go there and start doing Whispers, any Whisper objectives will do. This is because when you complete any Whisper objective in the new Headhunts area, Exposed Roots will spawn around. You should click on these Exposed Roots, and then a bunch of random things will happen. Of course, the most anticipated result is that after clicking on Exposed Roots, a boss will be summoned, so you have a better chance of getting a Fugitive Head drop. So you should run around in Headhunts and click on all Exposed Roots you find. If you are lucky, then clicking a few times will summon a boss. You know the boss has been summoned when you get a ping on your mini-map, but other people will get this prompt too. So if someone else clicks on Exposed Roots and then summons a boss, your map will also ping, and you should go there. So once your map pings, you know the boss will eventually spawn at this location. Now, this boss could be a Headless Husk. Unfortunately, you won’t drop a Fugitive Head when you kill it, but the boss itself has a random chance of spawning a Fugitive Head. The chance of a Fugitive Head spawning increases with each Difficulty Tier, and also with your Draught of Whispers applied. This is why you have to play on the highest difficulty, and ideally with Draught of Whispers buff. For example, if you play on the highest difficulty, Torment IV, and have Draught of Whispers buff applied, there is a 15% chance of a Fugitive Head spawning instead of a Headless Husk. The chance of this happening is less on lower difficulties, though, and this only applies to Torment Difficulty. Running Rootholds Dungeon Aside from that, Fugitive Heads can also be obtained from Rootholds Dungeon. Rootholds are mini-dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 7 that operate similarly to Nightmare Dungeons. To get into it, you need to prepare some Whispering Wood Sigils. These Sigils come from Whisper Caches, so when you farm Fugitive Heads in Headhunts, you can also get these Whispering Wood Sigils in your inventory by completing Whispers. When you enter Rootholds, you will go through a dungeon, and at the end of the dungeon you will meet a boss. This boss has a chance to be a Headless Husk and also has a chance to be a Fugitive Head. Unfortunately, the chance of them being Fugitive Heads is not very high. I think this way of collecting Fugitive Heads is not better than Headhunts. Because the chance of getting Fugitive Heads from Rootholds is very low, and it takes longer. Therefore, I only recommend going to Rootholds to get Fugitive Heads if you need items with Greater Affixes or if you have already completed all Headhunts and are waiting for the next Headhunt to appear. Summary Finally, let’s summarize it once more. We recommend that you prioritize collecting Fugitive Heads while running Headhunts, and don’t forget to run around completing Whisper objectives during this time, which will spawn Exposed Roots for you. You should click on all of these Exposed Roots and try to get the boss to spawn, and if any other player spawns a boss, you should also run to that place so that you have a chance to spawn and drop Fugitive Heads. If you have completed all Headhunts areas, then you can go into Rootholds Dungeon and try to get Fugitive Heads from there. Remember, for both Rootholds and Headhunts, you should use Draught of Whispers if you have them, as they increase your chances of getting Heads. If you are short of these items, then you might as well pay attention to iGMeet Discord, where the giveaway channel occasionally launches some sweepstakes. So hurry up and get active here. Maybe you will be the next lucky person!Jan-23-2025

Diablo 4 DLC: What Are The ...
Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred brings players a brand new adventure, not only deepening the game’s story background but also greatly enriching the game’s content by introducing the character of Neyrelle and her exploration journey in Nahantu jungle. In addition, the expansion also adds a very powerful profession - Spiritborn, which has attracted the attention of many players with its unique skills and combat style. Vessel of Hatred has also made a lot of optimizations and improvements to the basic game experience, making the whole game smoother and more attractive. However, besides the obvious changes mentioned above, Vessel of Hatred has quietly added three new monster families, bringing players an unprecedented challenge experience. The three newly added monsters are Hollows, Dregs, and Lacuni. Although Lacuni is not a completely unfamiliar existence, it has made a brief appearance in the previous game. Read this guide to learn more about each new monster family. Hollows The birth of Hollows is closely related to Neyrelle’s adventure. As Neyrelle travels deep into the mysterious jungles of Nahantu, she accidentally touches Mephisto’s soul stone and is burned by the powerful corruption it emanates. In an attempt to ease the pain, she dips her injured hand and soul stone into water in an attempt to cool them down. However, this action has an unexpected consequence, as Mephisto’s corruption quickly spreads across the entire Nahantu region. Over time, this black, tar-like corruption gradually coalesces and forms into Hollows. These creatures, made of corrupt matter, are numerous and extremely aggressive, and they begin to pose a great threat to the people and cities in the surrounding area. Players will first encounter this new family of monsters shortly after meeting Raheir. With such powerful and strange enemies, it may be a good idea to obtain more Diablo 4 Gold to equip your character faster. Dregs Another new family of monsters that attracts attention are Dregs. Unlike other creatures in the game, Dregs are not born monsters, but are actually once humans. These unfortunate souls were driven into a state of uncontrollable psychosis by tasting a hallucinogen found in Nahantu’s flora and fauna. Over time, these once normal humans gradually lost their minds and became one enemy that players face in the game today. They roam the deep jungles of Nahantu and have become a threat that cannot be ignored. Lacuni Lacuni are the only creatures that are familiar to veteran players of the series. However, this race has undergone significant changes throughout the development of Diablo series, and has undergone major adjustments and evolutions in both appearance and combat style, making their return a familiar and fresh experience for players. Lacuni are highly intelligent and aggressive feline bipedal creatures, commonly referred to as “Panther-men” or “Sabre Cats.” Lacuni social structure is similar to the group model of lions, showing the characteristics of a patriarchal society. In this system, male Lacuni are usually more robust and stronger, which makes them naturally take on the role of leaders in the tribe. In contrast, female Lacuni have shown excellent hunting skills and become an indispensable female hunter within the family. The origins of Lacuni can be traced back to Kehjistan, where they originally maintained a relatively harmonious relationship with humans. There was frequent exchange of goods between the two races, forming a mutually beneficial situation. However, the good times did not last long. As time went by, especially around Darkening of Tristram, because of some unknown reasons, the relationship between the two sides deteriorated sharply, and Lacuni began to show strong hostility towards the surrounding world. Since then, this once friendly race has gradually developed into one of the most well-known and threatening existences in Diablo series. In Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, this classic monster family appears again. This time they appear in Teganze Plateau area of the new Nahantu region. Here, Lacuni will not only use traditional melee weapons to attack but also use long-range means such as javelins and throwing grenades to fight against players who dare to enter their territory. It is worth noting that Lacuni first appeared in Diablo 2, and it is particularly appropriate that they return this time and become one of the main enemies of Nahantu - because Nahantu is also one map that was first introduced to the game world in Diablo 2. This design consistency not only enhances the consistency of the storyline of the entire series but also makes old players feel familiar, while also attracting new players to explore more about the story behind this world. By introducing these new monster families, Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred not only provides players with a richer and more diverse gaming experience but also deepens the game’s story background and worldview. Hollows, Dregs, and Lacuni each have unique background stories and combat styles. Their existence not only increases the complexity and challenge of the game but also brings new exploration fun to players. In order to defeat them more easily, you can follow Giveaway channel in iGMeet discord, which will release information about Diablo 4 related products from time to time. Remember to be active in the discord group.Nov-04-2024

Diablo 4 DLC: How To Unders ...
In fact, Vessel of Hatred will change the current Diablo 4. Even if it is not a consensus, it is at least a fact recognized by most people. This new DLC of Diablo 4 will not only bring us new content but also new numbers, new level cap and even new Paragon system. In the past period of time, many games media and Diablo 4 content creator have been able to personally experience new DLC. Most people are concerned about this new class called Spiritborn. We have also had similar news before. In the official gameplay video, we can feel that this game is well made and straightforward. However, it is very regrettable that it does not touch the changes in game content that we expected. For example, we did not see game-wide systemic changes in new expansion. The biggest highlight of Vessel of Hatred is the introduction of new classes. Besides this change, what we players are most concerned about is the change in a level cap in Diablo 4. At present, the maximum level that players can reach is 100. Everything we can think of about the game is related to the level, such as the item power distribution, damage scaling, loot curve, monster difficulty. In fact, maybe many people still don’t know what the level of change means?But we need to know that change of level cap will affect effect and attribute changes of Diablo 4 Items. Maybe we can’t predict it. However, we can look back. In Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls raised the game’s level cap from level 60 to level 70, and the five of the original classes at that time all gained new abilities, which made players upgrade more intriguing for players. So we are facing the first DLC released by Diablo 4, and we are all looking forward to whether the same effect will appear. The official remained silent on our questions. By changing level cap, many values will be changed, so this will inevitably change gameplay. There are a lot of signs that we’re heading towards a numbers squish, so level cap is being lowered to make each level more mattering. We can speculate that new level cap is 60 based on speculation from various places, such as Reddit. For example, the experience bar already shows a character beyond level 50, but puzzlingly, there are no Paragon Point nodes (in current version, these Paragon Point nodes are unlocked at level 50). Instead, there is a new level indicator, which is represented by a number of character level. So many players are suspecting that this is a new Paragon system, and it looks more simplified and more like the one in Diablo 3. Through this system, we can continue to gain levels, although this level exceeds the basic level cap, but Paragon Board will still be reserved for us. There are other factors that indicate that 60 is a new level cap. In-game tooltips secretly hint that the maximum level cap has been changed from 1001 to 60 in some places. We can see this from the official display of unique weapon stats, such as the change in armor values. If the maximum level cap remains at 1001, then armour stats should be exactly the same as they are in the current version. Actually, there are a lot of changes. For example, this level requirements for each stage of Health Potion upgrades for Alchemists class have changed. This is a complete change. This once again proves that level 60 is the maximum level cap. Lowering the level of the game means that all stats in the game must be compressed. This also means that not only will damage numbers be reduced but also armour values will be reduced. This is not necessarily a bad thing for players. Because it is easier to read in combat. This actually complies with some player requests. In addition, I don’t think that the reduction in stats means that the player will suffer less damage. I think the value of each damage stage is more in line with the current numbers on the screen. This is our analysis of the changes to the maximum level, and I hope it will give you an idea of what the changes to the level cap mean.
