The follow changes to bosses have been made in Path of Diablo.
Contents
Andariel
- The quest drop bug that exists in LoD has been fixed.
Diablo Clone
- Description: The Diablo Clone fight is a unique event added in Kyanite #11. It is meant to be a very difficult challenge for endgame players. If you're victorious you'll be rewarded with an Annihilus unique small charm.
- Requirements: To enter Diablo Clone's realm you can use the Horadric Cube.
Note Well: after you're inside, you can't town portal and then return to the fight.
- Cube Recipe: To enter Diablo Clone's realm you must collect the organs: brain and eye from Ubers Izual, Duriel and Lilith(Diablo's horn), the Soulstone that drops from Diablo in Uber Tristram and a Key of Chaos that drops in maps. Transmute to enter "The Infernal Trial".
- Fight Mechanics:
He spawns from a hooded man ("The Dark Wanderer") standing in the middle of the map. When ready, move towards him to begin the fight.
There are two phases of the fight with the Diablo Clone.
In the first phase, Diablo Clone is damage and curse immune and spawns a large number of minions to fight you called "Reanimated Warriors" and "Undead Commanders".
- Reanimated Warriors are monster type 'Reanimated Horde' with extra physical damage and increased % crushing blow.
- Their charge attack has been removed.
- They are curse immune and are highly resistant to all types of damage.
"Undead Commanders" have the Prime Evil tag meaning the game gives them the same affixes as an act boss. They are ranged undead monsters that have high resistances, Holy Freeze aura, and attack with a magic damage Guided Arrow.
During phase 1, Diablo is still able to attack and damage you. You can't damage him until you defeat his Undead Commanders. Diablo has a special red aura that reduces all the player's, minion's, and mercenary's maximum resistances by 5%.
Undead Commanders shoot arrows doing 295-316 damage, of which 60% is magic damage and 40% is physical. They can be blocked. The physical damage of the arrow can be reduced by Damage Reduced by x (often referred to as Physical Damage Reduction or PDR. Examples of items with this affix are: Gladiator's Bane + Gerke's Sanctuary. Alternately you can put Perfect Skulls in shields). A more effective affix is: Damage Reduced by % (often referred to as DR%. Examples of items with this affix are: Shaftstop + Stormshield)
The magic damage of the arrow can be absorbed by Magic Absorb (Oath, Crescent Moon, Spirit runewords), Magic Damage Reduced by x (Skin of the Vipermagi, String of Ears, Vampire Gaze, Mal rune etc.) and Magic Resist % (Crafted Safety Shield).
You must kill the five Undead Commanders to move onto phase 2.
Once the commanders are dead Diablo takes damage.
Increased hp and a part of his ‘Fire/Cold/Lightning Resistances’ have been replaced by ‘Fire/Cold/Lightning Absorb +%’.
- Occasionally casts Decrepify (-50% Physical Resistance, -50% Physical damage and reduced Run/Walk Speed).
Damage types found in the fight:
- Reanimated Horde: physical
- Undead Commanders: physical+magic
- Diablo Clone: fire (armageddon) and magic (hose)
Uber Mephisto
- Drain effectiveness changed from 0% to 10% (it is possible to leech now from Mephisto without using the Life Tap curse)
Uber Baal
- Uses 'Lower Max Resist' curse which does -5% to player’s max resists
- Uses Frozen Armor instead of Chilling Armor
Uber Diablo
Lightning Hose:
- now hits in melee range
- increased damage
- 33% physical + 67% lightning
Uber Izual
- Has ascended and earned the modifier ‘Prime Evil’. This makes him like act bosses and ubers who have special resistances and damage reductions
Super Uniques
- Act 3 Council Members no longer spawn with Fire Enchanted (fixes bug in Vanilla D2 that causes these monsters to deal insane damage in Nightmare)
- The Ancients will always spawn with fixed modifiers: Korlic has increased physical damage, Talic has Extra Fast and Madawc has Multiple Projectiles(Shot?). Talic now uses a lower level Whirlwind.
Additional Notes
- Uber Tristram is reduced in size with several obstacles removed
