Bosses
Last Updated:October 3, 2023|Changelog
The Prime Evils are not the only demons and monstrous Bosses of note in the land of Sanctuary. The monsters who are powerful even amongst their peers get elevated to the status of Super Uniques. These named monsters lord over specific areas in Sanctuary, have otherwise unheard of levels of power, and can drop some of the rarest items in the game. Learning the locations and vulnerabilities of every Boss in the game allows you to make the best decisions for farming and Experience gain.
Act Bosses
The Act Bosses in Diablo 2 Resurrected are required kills to progress to the next Act. Because of this, they will never be Immune to any Damage types, but will often have very high Resistances, and Life totals. The benefit to fighting them is they often drop large amount of items, with some Bosses boasting the highest Treasure Class in the game; they can drop any item!
Act Bosses
- Do not Regenerate.
- Count as Demons.
