Similar to my quick guide to mythic uniques (which aged like milk when they made things purple) I have memory problems when it comes to which bosses need which materials, and how many.
Sure, I could look at the items to see where they are supposed to be utilized, but this doesn’t give me any sense of how many I need to summon the (ideally, tormented) boss.
What usually ends up happening is that I’ll run off to the dungeon and check to see if I have enough materials to summon the boss. When I don’t, I’ll go check another dungeon. This cycle will continue until I get bored with not summoning bosses or an epic side quest presents itself!
This gets exacerbated when I say “nope, not enough mats” and the wife asks me how many are needed, and I’ve already run off without paying attention to the actual numbers. Yes, I look at to see if I can summon or not, it’s extremely boolean for how casually I play.
For this quick guide, I’m going to keep this simple. I will not delving into detail on where to farm each of the materials. Just focusing on how many of each material is required for each of the bosses in the rotation.
Diablo 4: Boss Materials
| Boss | Regular Boss | Tormented Boss |
|---|---|---|
| Echo of Varshan | 5x Malignant Heart | 15x Malignant Heart 1x Stygian Stone |
| Grigoire, The Galvanic Saint | 9x Living Steel | 27x Living Steel 1x Stygian Stone |
| The Beast in the Ice | 9x Distilled Fear | 27x Distilled Fear 1x Stygian Stone |
| Lord Zir | 9x Exquisite Blood | 27x Exquisite Blood 1x Stygian Stone |
| Duriel, King of Maggots | 2x Shards of Agony 2x Mucus-slick Egg | 6x Shards of Agony 6x Mucus-slick Egg 1x Stygian Stone |
| Andariel | 2x Pincushioned Doll 2x Sandscorched Shackles | 6x Pincushioned Doll 6x Sandscorched Shackles 1x Stygian Stone |
Not much to it, considering there’s a good amount of overlap on how many materials are required. Probably would help if I read the patch notes, as today I learned, the tormented bosses require three times the materials as the regular bosses.
Happy boss bashing!
