What are World Bosses in Diablo 4?

World Bosses in Diablo 4 are powerful enemies that you can take on alongside other players. When fighting a World Boss, you and anyone in your party will be matched into a group of 12. This group of 12 will then enter an instanced area where you’ll have to work together to take down the World Boss. These bosses range in difficulty, and while they can be incredibly tough to beat, it’s worth your while as you can get your hands on some rare and powerful loot.

You’re going to have to wait to fight them this time around. World Bosses are only available once you’ve beaten the main campaign. Once this happens, you’ll receive notifications about world bosses around 15 minutes before they spawn, allowing you to hightail it over and take them on. Defeating any World Boss offers rewards like Scattered Prisms that can be used to add sockets to weapons.

You also gain Gold and XP based on your current level, alongside Legendary or Unique gear depending on the World Tier difficulty you’ve chosen. You can also get a Grand Cache with Sacred or rarer items. Here are some Diablo 4 unique items to watch out for. Nightmare Sigils, used to transform dungeons to Diablo 4 Nightmare Dungeons, are also a potential drop. A World Boss fight can also show up as Whispers, part of the Diablo 4 Whispers of the Dead tasks from the Tree of Whispers.

• BST: 1 – 3AM / 7 – 9AM / 1 – 3PM / 7 – 9PM

Diablo 4 World Boss list

Currently, there are three World Bosses that you can take on in Diablo 4.

Ashava, the Pestilent

Ashava, the Pestilent is a giant dragon that is also encountered in the main campaign, albeit in a weaker form. Watch out for her poison attacks and deadly swipes across the desolate battlefield.

Avarice, the Gold Cursed

Avarice, the Gold Cursed is a demon wielding a large, spiked mallet and a treasure chest of gold. Watch out for its pools of gold vomit that can deal a ton of damage. You should also watch out for gold nodes that can explode when Avarice uses its hammer in boss fights.

Wandering Death, Death Given Life

Wandering Death is perhaps the most challenging of the three current World Bosses. It takes the form of a giant skeleton and can deal some hefty damage if you aren’t careful. Its bone circles can trap and explode. You’ll also have to watch out for its beams of death.

In general, these World Boss enemies have hulking health bars and can knock players in a couple of hits. Stock up on potions to survive. Here’s how to get more healing potions in Diablo 4. Try to earn more Diablo 4 renown via Altars of Lilith to gain buffs like Skill points and Paragon points.
