Monsters, demons, skeletons, and world bosses populate every corner. While you can take them on with friends in multiplayer and couch co-op, some of us travel Sanctuary alone. If you need to know how to beat the world bosses solo in Diablo IV, we’re here to help.
Diablo 4 – How to beat world bosses solo
Every world boss can be soloed in Diablo IV, even the dreaded timed world bosses like Ashava the Pestilent. Twitch streamers were able to take her down in the open beta.
There’s no one way to beat every world boss solo successfully because each boss will be different, but the biggest thing you’ll want to do is solidify your build for the class you want to take on the boss with.
Rogues are a favorite for soloing world bosses because of their speed. Melee Rogue builds can take down world bosses quickly, even solo, to ensure time doesn’t run out. Ditch the crossbow and pick up swords for this one. Use skills like these for your melee Rogue build:
- Shadow Imbuement
- Bladedancer’s Aspect
- Blade Shift
- Shadow Step
- Dash
- Twisting Blade
These are all great skills to focus on for building a melee Rogue that’s quick and deadly. Twisting Swords Rogue is particularly great because it focuses on evasion and can build Bladedancer’s Aspect into an AoE attack, so you have both close and long-range attacks.
Other classes like Necromancer and Barbarian are known to be good for a world boss fight because of their sheer damage, so you can build those up too. Find which one works best with your play style. Even in hardcore mode, if you know how to play your build effectively, you’ll be able to solo any world boss.
Tips for soloing world bosses in Diablo 4
World bosses are real-life timed events, so they will only spawn at certain times. Make sure you know which boss you’re going after, what time they appear, and where they’ll be so you can be at the boss spawns and be prepared as possible.
Knowing which boss you’re going after, what attacks they have and how they move around the area will be crucial in taking them on solo.
You’ll get a hoard of legendary loot for taking down these world bosses, and these ones you can hoard for yourself!
