Diablo 4 Super Secret Boss And Stacks Of Hidden Loot Discovered
While there may not be the infamous "cow level" in Diablo 4, players have discovered another hidden realm buried deep behind secrets in the game. Due to previous updates, mysterious items have gained a new purpose, allowing players who perform specific actions to travel away from Sanctuary. The ultimate challenge awaits past a secret portal, offering some of the best loot ever for brave characters. The newest expansion of Diablo 4, Lord of Hatred, is preceded by the game's latest Season, which introduces the new Paladin character class. However, the developers have also silently added a new boss fight, but one that players can only access by finding the right items. An article by PC Gamer has shed more light on this hidden content, including what steps need to be followed to discover it.
Diablo 4 Players Have Found A New Secret Boss
Mystery Behind New Items Has Led To An Incredibly Dangerous Encounter
Diablo 4 Necromancer character entering hidden "????????" realm
The new realm found in Diablo 4 is simply called "???????," a hidden realm that holds a boss arena against familiar foes. The secret location has you fight four bosses at the same time, as each of the Lesser Evils take form to destroy any characters in their way. These bosses include:
Azmodan, Lord of Sin
Belilal, Lord of Lies
Duriel, Lord of Pain
Andariel, Maiden of Anguish
After defeating all these bosses at once in the new relam, players are given the opportunity to gain loot from the "Hoard of Damnation" gifted after the Lesser Evil's defeat. This set of rewards is incredible, providing arguably the single largest source of Ancestral Unique gear from any encounter in the game. Among the differences in Lord of Hatred, this stands out as an amazing find for players looking for something new from this Season. As it isn't tied to any quest or event, though, players are having a hard time discovering the "??????" realm for themselves.
It's Not Easy To Get To
Players Have To Complete Multiple Steps From In-Game Content
Diablo 4 Corrupted Horn of Duriel and Corrupted Tongue of Azmodan rare items
Seasonal mechanics hide the location of the "??????" realm, in a way you might not expect. To reach the new area, you have to collect rare "Purified" variants of Trophy items dropped by the Lesser Evil bosses in the world. For example, the Lesser Evil Azmodan can be found as a boss in Hawezar, and drops a "Corrupted Tongue of Azmodan" upon his defeat. Players can use the Corrupted Tongue of Azmodan to open a special cache near the boss for certain rewards, or have Hadriel purify it for an in-game mission. Normally, you'd use all the "Corrupted" parts of the Lesser Evils to summon a world boss, who then consumes the parts to translate how many rewards you get upon its defeat. However, Lesser Evils have a small chance to drop Purified parts, which don't have a purpose like the Corrupted ones.
For reference, the parts players need to find the hidden realm are the Purified Tongue of Azmodan, the Purified Eye of Belial, the Purified Horn of Duriel, and the Purified Claw of Andariel.
These excessively rare drops can then be used to satiate several shrines all over the map, found as:
Shrine of Sin
Shrine of Pain
Shrine of Lies
Shrine of Anguish
By placing a Purified part in the shrine that corresponds to its Lesser Evil's domain, it satiates it for a time being. Placing all four Purified parts in each correct Shrine will open a rift to the "???????" realm, allowing your new character in Diablo 4 to travel to the new boss zone. This is an exciting secret in the game due to how complicated it is to find, especially if you've already found these strange Purified Lesser Evil parts in seasonal activities. This is arguably the coolest thing Diablo 4 has done, emulating the absurd "cow level" in how hidden the "?????" realm is for players to discover naturally.
