Diablo 4 World Boss Timer & Spawn Tracker

Want to take your game to the next level? After finishing the campaign, it can be hard to understand what activities are the most rewarding in Diablo 4. Enter World bosses.

Diablo 4’s endgame has a lot more to offer, but World Bosses are more rewarding than ever, and since Season of Blood (S2), they now occur 6 times per day instead of 4. This guide covers everything you need to know to get the most out of them.

How often do Wold Bosses spawn in Diablo 4?

World Bosses used to spawn every 6 hours, but in an effort to make them more accessible to more players Worldwide, their time between spawns has been reduced from 6 hours to 3.5 hours.

If you want to receive a notification as soon as the event becomes visible in-game, you can follow Diablo Paragon on Twitter. Also, remember that Weekly caches reset on Thursdays at 10:00 am PDT.

When is the next World Boss event?

Unlike other games that make no effort to alert you when a global event occurs (looking at you, Destiny 2), Diablo 4 will very prominently alert you about an incoming World Boss. As part of the changes made to World Bosses with Season 2, the in-game broadcasts will occur one hour in advance versus the 30 minutes previously.

This should give you enough time to finish what you’re doing and head over there. Also, players will now receive a direct notification 15 minutes before a World Boss appears.

🛑 Be aware that you need to complete the main campaign in order to receive these notifications in-game. If you haven’t yet, you can still participate, even if you can’t see the in-game notification.

World Bosses Rewards

Since the release Update 1.2.0, World Bosses got stronger than ever. Word Bosses’ health and damage have been increased, and they now become immune 2 seconds after beginning their escape.

But to match the increased difficulty, the quality of their rewards has been significantly increased. If you manage to beat a World Boss, you can expect to earn several items per Boss, including Rare and Legendary gear, as well as Scattered Prisms, which is a unique and sought-after crafting material. Also, remember that starting Season 2, World Bosses will also reward resources to summon an Endgame Boss, in this case, to summon Lord Zir.

Weekly Caches

World Bosses drop a bonus Weekly Cache the first time you defeat them per week. That means one Weekly Cache per boss for a total of 3 Weekly Caches per week. By the way, the week resets on Thursdays at 10:00 am PDT. 

This means you should aim to defeat all three bosses at least once per week to claim a maximum of three Weekly Caches. These caches are filled with powerful gear, including Legendary items, and are well worth the extra effort.

World Boss rotation

World Bosses follow a 3-2-3-2 pattern, with the same Boss spawning 3 times in a row, then another one 2 times in a row, another one 3 times in a row, etc. For example, this is how a rotation might look like on any given week:

• Ashava spawns 3 times in a row
• Wandering Death spawns 2 in a row
• Avarice spawns 3 times in a row
• Ashava spawns 2 times in a row
• Wandering Death spawns 3 in a row
• Avarice spawns 2 times in a row
• Ashava spawns 3 times in a row

Before you go…

As soon as you finish the campaign, Diablo 4 will slowly introduce you to the several endgame activities and systems it has to offer. You’ll quickly notice that many of these are timed events that require you to be at the right place at the right time. Our Helltides and Legion events guides will help you stay on top of it.
