Bosses

Last Updated:October 3, 2023|Change Log

The Prime Evils are not the only demons and monstrous Bosses of note in the land of Sanctuary. The monsters who are powerful even amongst their peers get elevated to the status of Super Uniques. These named monsters lord over specific areas in Sanctuary, have otherwise unheard of levels of power, and can drop some of the rarest items in the game. Learning the locations and vulnerabilities of every Boss in the game allows you to make the best decisions for farming and Experience gain.

Act Bosses

The Act Bosses in Diablo 2 Resurrected are required kills to progress to the next Act. Because of this, they will never be Immune to any Damage types, but will often have very high Resistances, and Life totals. The benefit to fighting them is they often drop large amount of items, with some Bosses boasting the highest Treasure Class in the game; they can drop any item!

Act Bosses

  • Do not Regenerate.
  • Count as Demons.

Bosses

Bosses in Diablo 2 Resurrected are special monsters, even greater than the Super Uniques. They often are part of a Quests or spawn next to important Quest areas. Many of these monsters have very specific Treasure Classes, and also have unique interactions with a lot of the the affects in the game.

  • Most Bosses do not count as Super Uniques, so they don't get the 500% Experience bonus.
    • Griwold, Radament, and Nihlathak are the exceptions. They receive random Unique bonus affixes in Nightmare and Hell.
  • slow missiles does not apply.
  • slow missiles does not apply -xx% Defense.

  • Stun Length does not apply.
  • Any conversion type effects cannot be applied, but these monsters can target converted units.
  • Crushing Blow is 1/2 effective.
  • Open Wounds drain is 1/2 effective.
  • Sanctuary does not Knockback or apply Magic Damage to Griswold and Radament.
  • Do not Regenerate

Super Uniques

Super Uniques are almost identical to Uniques that we cover in our Elite Group article. The primary difference being that Supers have specific areas that they spawn in. They also have static affixes in addition to the extra affixes Uniques receive in Nightmare in Hell. Some even has access to hidden affixes that Uniques do not have access to.
