There were a lot of topics covered during the Developer Livestream, one major addition are new Endgame Bosses! The Diablo Team talked about how this addition is to give players more to do in World Tiers 3 & 4. Giving players more challenging fights and the ability to target farm Uniques and even Uber Uniques! The best part is that this is a permeant addition to the base game. Let's zone in and kill some baddies!
Endgame Boss Information
There are 5 new Endgame Bosses to fight come the release of Patch 1.2. A few important things to understand before we get into each Boss:
- Summoning Components are Tradable - The items required to summon these bosses are tradable between players! Also, only one player is required to have them in a party.
- Elemental Themed - While talking about Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint, the Dev Team stated that each one would have an associated element attached to them. It is highly advised to keep this in mind when preparing to fight any particular one.
- Differing Loot Tables - Each Boss has a distinct loot table geared towards allowing the player to target farm specific cosmetics, items, and even Uber Uniques (Duriel ONLY). In regard to Uber Uniques, it was stated that, "You will definitely know people that have these items."
- Specific Requirements - Each Boss requires you to do differing activities that start in either World Tier 3 or 4. Whether it's doing Helltide, running Nightmare Dungeons, or challenging World Bosses, each part of the game is tied to one of the new bosses.
With this information, let's tackle what you need to do to fight each one!
