One of the most challenging tasks in Diablo 4 is defeating the game’s world bosses—and tracking them down is not easy.
World bosses come with varying difficulty but, when defeated, provide significant rewards that can significantly boost your character build.
Farming world bosses is not so easy either because they spawn in a variety of locations and at set times, meaning you cannot just reset and farm repeatedly.
Here’s everything you need to know if you plan to venture out and defeat these powerful bosses.
How to unlock world bosses in Diablo 4
World bosses in Diablo 4 will only spawn once you have completed the main campaign, so ensure you have done so before attempting to find these powerful bosses. Otherwise, you will be wandering around endlessly. World bosses only spawn at certain times and in specific locations, so you need to be in the right place at the right time.
In my experience, world bosses usually spawn once every six hours. This is to ensure that players in all time zones get a chance to take them on. But it sometimes seems as though the spawn times are random and arrive either before or after the six-hour intervals. Personally, I saw a notification pop up for Ashava and then a couple of hours later received another notification for Avarice.
Blizzard has not released any official schedule for the world bosses, so we still don’t know exactly when they spawn. But what is clear is that you need to defeat the main campaign of Diablo 4. Then, you will begin receiving notifications about when and where a world boss will spawn. Like the timer, the world boss that spawns into the game appears to be random as well, so you will need to get lucky to fight the one you want.
