The Most Interesting Changes of Loot Reborn-Tormented Echoes

May-11-2024

 

 

Diablo 4 season 4, dubbed "Loot Reborn," has been a game-changer for the franchise. The latest updates have brought about significant overhauls of core systems, particularly the itemization system. However, the most notable addition is the introduction of new endgame content, which includes a new boss that can be farmed to get Uber unique items, and a new boss difficulty called Tormented Echoes, which will be a level 200 Uber boss.

 

 

Diablo 4 Season 4: Loot Reborn is packed with dozens of changes and new content, and Tormented Echoes is one of the most interesting. Because Diablo 4 players have been asking for more endgame activities, the developers have introduced this new challenge for them.

 

The new boss, Andariel, will be part of the new endgame boss roster, featuring an enhanced moveset that differs from her campaign counterpart. Her position in the boss ladder will be similar to Duriel's, sharing the same loot table with him. Moreover, summoning Andariel will be made more accessible as the materials needed will drop from Beast in Ice and Lord Zir, making boss farming more diverse.

 

Tormented Echoes Explained

Tormented Echoes are buffed-up Level 200 versions of every summonable Uber boss in Diablo 4. This new challenge was introduced to cater to players who find regular Uber enemies too easy to defeat. With these powerful bosses, players can expect a thrilling fight and stand a chance to get some of the best Diablo 4 items in Season 4: Loot Reborn.

 

To summon Tormented Echoes, players will need Stygian Stones and all the materials needed to summon the regular variant in its usual summoning location. Each summon of Tormented Echoes requires three Stygian Stones, along with various materials depending on the specific Tormented Echo to be summoned.

 

Here’s the complete list of materials required to summon each Tormented Echoes in Diablo 4 Season 4 PTR:

Tormented Varsahn: 3 Stygian Stones, 5 Gurgling Heads, 5 Blackened Femurs, 5 Trembling Hands, and 5 Malignant Hearts

Torment Grigoire: 3 Stygian Stones and 25 Living Steel

Torment Zir: 3 Stygian Stones and 45 Exquisite Blood

Torment Beast in the Ice: 3 Stygian Stones, 45 Distilled Fear, and 250 Sigil Powder

Torment Duriel: 3 Stygian Stones, 10 Mucus-Slick Eggs, and 10 Shards of Agony

Torment Andariel: 3 Stygian stones, 10 Sandscorched Shackles, and 10 Pncushioned Dolls

After collecting these materials, you will be able to challenge the level 200 Tormented Echo version of Uber boss of your choice.

 

 

Collecting Stygian Stones is crucial to summoning Tormented Echoes. These stones can be obtained by participating in Pit of Artificers, a randomized dungeon with a fixed time limit where players must defeat a certain number of enemies, ending in a boss fight. Players receive one or two Stygian Stones per run, and their goal is to collect three Stygian Stones.

 

Rewards for defeating Tormented Echoes are substantial. All items dropped will be Item Power Level 925, and players may even stumble across extremely powerful Uber Uniques. Additionally, players will receive Resplendent Sparks, necessary items for crafting Uber Uniques. Therefore, challenging these Endgame Bosses is not only exhilarating but also rewarding, offering players the opportunity to craft some of the most powerful items and complete top-tier builds in Loot Reborn season.

 

In conclusion, the Diablo 4 season 4 has brought significant changes and additions to the game, particularly in terms of endgame content. The introduction of Tormented Echoes and the new boss, Andariel, has added a fresh layer of excitement and challenge to the game. The process is full of challenges, but as long as you keep grinding, you can definitely get rich rewards.
