During their
Season 2 livestream
, Blizzard revealed that Season 2 will introduce five new and returning boss encounters: Echos of Varshan, Grigoire The Galvanic Saint, The Beast in the Ice, Duriel, and Lord Zir. The development team has also shown a content map showcasing how to unlock each encounter. These bosses will be available in both the Eternal and Seasonal realms. Blizzard also stated that these bosses are going to be permanent, that means we'll have these bosses available moving forward!
Diablo 4 Season 2 - Season of Blood Developer Update Liveblog
For
Echo of Varshan
, the Season 1 story boss, you will need to run Whispers, and upon completion, you will have a chance to receive fragments to summon the Echo of Varshan. When you have farmed enough of these fragments, you will enter a short dungeon to reach the end. At the end of the dungeon, there will be an interface that will allow you to summon Varshan and fight him.
For
Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint
, you will need to do Helltides and loot Infernal Steel from caches. When you collect enough Infernal Steel you will be able to use that to summon Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint. This will be a lightning-based fight, and with the upcoming changes to resistances, you'll want to stack lightning resistance to make the fight easier.
Upon unlocking World Tier 4 in Season 2, Echo of Varshan and Grigoire will drop fragments that will allow you to spawn
Duriel, King of Maggots
. Duriel is a new Level 100 Boss that has a small chance of dropping Uber Unique items. So, this will likely be the most deterministic way to farm Uber Uniques. This chance will be higher compared to pre-season and Season 1 - in fact, Blizzard has stated that "You will know people with Uber Uniques" after this change.
The Beast in the Ice
is a megadungeon boss. You will run Tier 31+ Nightmare Dungeons, and completing these dungeons will give you a chance to drop special fragments that will allow you to craft a new special nightmare dungeon key that brings you to the Beast in the Ice's lair. The Beast in the Ice has special and potent loot.
Lord Zir
is the final boss that was talked about. You will fight Lord Zir in the Seasonal Campaign as a story boss, much like Varshan in Season 1. However, in World Tier 4, you will receive fragments that allow you to spawn a harder version of Lord Zir. These fragments drop from World Bosses and Legion Events in WT4.
Most importantly, all Five Bosses will also have unique loot tables with specific uniques that only come from these bosses so that players can target-farm uniques of their choice!
