All Endgame Bosses and Loot Tables

There are five endgame bosses for players to find and defeat, and each has dedicated loot tables that make farming for Unqiues and Uber Uniques easier while also providing a challenge for higher-level players.

Below, we have listed all these bosses, the requirements to summon them, and what loot each of them drops for each class, so you know exactly who to look for and what you can get from defeating these enemies.

Echo of Varshan and the Malignant Burrow

Anyone who played the Season of the Malignant will recognize this boss, and they have now become a permanent boss for players to battle in Diablo 4.

Varshan can be summoned on World Tiers 3 and 4, with slightly different requirements depending on the World Tiers. To summon Varshan, you will need to collect parts of his body, which you can gain from defeating Grotesque Debtors and completing Whispers, and opening their reward caches, which will guarantee a piece to drop.

In World Tier 3, you will need the Trembling Hand, Blackened Femur, and Gurgling Head; in World Tier 4, you also need a Malignant Heart. Once you have these items, you can summon Varshan and his dungeon called Malignant Burrow at the Tree of Whispers. You also have a chance to get the Demonbinder Mount Armor from this boss.

Here is the loot that Varshan drops:

Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint and the Hall of the Penitent

Grigoire is a beefy, armored-up boss who is relatively simple to summon but involves doing one of the game’s less exciting endgame activities.

To summon Grigoire, you will need to find Living Steel, an item found in a specific chest in Helltide events, which occur every few hours. This item is found in a Tortured Gift of Living Steel, which costs 300 Cinders to open and will only appear on your map when you are near them. You will also need to defeat an enemy called He-Who-Grins-Wide-and-Waits before you can open the chest.

For World Tier 3, you only need two Living Steel; on World Tier 4, you will need five. Once you have these items, you can summon Grigoire and his dungeon, the Hall of the Penitent in Ked Bardu. This boss also has the Flesh-Weld Rod trophy that may drop, as well as its loot.

Here is the loot available from Grigoire, the Galvanic Saint:

All Classes

Lord Zir (Dark Master) and The Darkened Way

Lord Zir is the vampire lord and main antagonist of Season of Blood and one of the tougher endgame bosses you can face in Diablo 4.

This boss, and the two that follow, can only be summoned on World Tier 4 and are some of the most challenging enemies to fight. For Lord Zir, you will need to complete World Bosses and Legion Events, which will have the chance to drop Exquisite Blood. You need nine of these items to summon and fight Lord Zir, who you can find at The Darkened Way in Fractured Peaks. This boss could potentially drop the Diadem of the Anicent cosmetic too.

Here is the loot that drops from Lord Zir:

The Beast in Ice and Glacial Fissure

The Beast in Ice is a big, brutish boss that will put builds to the test. It will prove to be a challenging encounter, even for seasoned players.

For this endgame boss, you must collect Distilled Fear, an item you get from complete Nightmare Dungeons of tier 30 for higher, and 250 Sigil Powder, which you get from breaking down Nightmare Sigils. You take these to the Occultist, who can craft you a Glacial Fissure Nightmare Sigil. Activate it, and you can enter the Glacial Fissure in Fractured Peaks and fight The Beast in Ice.

It is worth noting that this is treated as a Nightmare Dungeon, and therefore, you have limited revives and affixes to deal with, so make sure you are at the appropriate level; we recommend around level 85 before you try to take this boss. Defeating this boss has the chance to drop the Skull torch and Fell Steed Trophies.

Here is the loot that drops from The Beast in Ice:

Barbarian

• Fields of Crimson
• 100,000 Steps
• Ancients’ Oath
• Battle Trance
• Hellhammer

Necromancer

• Howl from Below

Duriel, King of the Maggots and the Gaping Crevasse

Duriel is the biggest and baddest of the endgame bosses and arguably the hardest bit of content in the game, so you know it’s going to be a tough fight but with tremendous rewards.

To summon Duriel, you’ll need to fight some of the other endgame bosses to get some items. You must get two Mucus-Slick Eggs from Varshan and two Shards of Agony from Grigorie. With all these items, you can then summon Duriel and his dungeon, the Gaping Crevasse, at Kehijistan. This is a top-level fight, so you will need to bring all your best skills and preparation to defeat them. Defeating Duriel could also net you the Smoldering Brimstone Mount.
