News Tag: Diablo 4 Belial

Almost every Diablo 4 season has a final boss that is not only one of the most difficult challenges of the current season, but also matches the theme and background story of the season. Take Season 8’s final boss Belial as an example. As a terrible demon that appeared in Diablo 3, he was about to return to Diablo 4 with his army of Apparition and a batch of boss powers.

Among all 24 boss powers in Diablo 4 Season 8, there is a legendary power from Belial himself and a rare power from Belial’s lesser form. Obviously, it will be more difficult to defeat Belial himself, but the corresponding boss power obtained, Belial’s Eye Beams, will also be more powerful. Based on this, we will introduce you to how to defeat Belial to obtain this power.

Where Can You Find Belial?

First, you can find and fight Belial on any Torment difficulty. He is in Palace of the Deceiver, and the entrance to Palace of the Deceiver is located in Amber Sands area in northern Kehjistan, just west of Tarsarak waypoint.

Kehjistan is actually one of the six major regions in Diablo 4, guarded by a new cult and featuring many desert ruins. The other five regions are Fractured Peaks, Scosglen, Dry Steppes, Hawezar, and Nahantu. Amber Sands is part of Kehjistan, and includes multiple areas, side dungeons that provide Diablo 4 Gold when completed, and most importantly, you can even find Altars of Lilith here!

How To Summon Belial?

In the past, when playing Diablo 4, if you wanted to fight the endgame boss, you had to collect the corresponding summoning materials before finding the corresponding location, and then you could summon them. But in Season 8, first, the endgame boss mechanism is updated to lair boss, and second, summoning these bosses no longer requires materials, but you can only get the loot after the battle if you get the corresponding lair keys.

In Season 8, the lair bosses can be further divided into three levels: Initiate, Greater, and Exalted. The lair keys corresponding to all bosses are:

Initiate Lair Boss

• Varshan: 4 Malignant Heart
• Grigoire: 4 Living Steel
• Beast in the Ice: 4 Distilled Fear
• Lord Zir: 4 Exquisite Blood
• Urivar: 4 Judicator’s Mask

Greater Lair Boss

• Duriel: 4 Shard of Agony from Varshan and Grigoire
• Andariel: 4 Pincushioned Doll from Beast and Lord Zir
• Harbinger of Hatred: 4 Abhorrent Heart from Urivar

Exalted Lair Boss

• Belial: 4 Betrayer’s Husk from Mini Belial

That is to say, in order to get the reward by killing Belial, you must collect 4 Betrayer’s Husks in advance, and this item can only be obtained by defeating Mini Belial or Belial’s lesser form. Usually after you defeat initiate or greater lair bosses, Mini Belial may appear, so be sure to seize the opportunity!

It is worth noting that all initiate lair bosses will drop Stygian Stone after being defeated, which can be turned into the lair key required to summon the greater lair boss, and then continue to unlock greater lair boss hoards by defeating the greater boss.

How To Defeat Belial?

After successfully summoning Belial, you will fight him in Palace of the Deceiver. The whole battle is expected to be divided into three stages. During the first stage, Belial will not fight you directly, but will summon some minions to attack you. If you can defeat them, you will be able to smoothly enter the second stage. Belial’s health will not be very high in this stage, but he will start to use his skills while continuing to summon minions.

When the health of Belial in stage 2 drops below 25% of his total health, stage 3 will begin. During this time, Belial’s health will be restored to maximum and his available skills will change, but he will also be unable to move and will be almost immune to control debuffs, so you must seize the opportunity to cause him as much damage as possible.

What Is The Loot For Belial Boss Battle?

Due to the overall adjustment of the boss mechanism brought by Season 8, you will not get the drops directly after killing Belial, but you will need to unlock hoards through lair keys to get the rewards. Of course, you can also get the corresponding boss power Belial’s Eye Beams by killing this boss, which can provide you with benefits such as damage reduction and invisibility effects.

It is worth noting that starting from Season 8, if you complete the lair boss battle in a team, each team member will increase your chance of getting additional unique items from the lair boss by 33%, which means that if there are four people in the team, this additional chance can even reach 100%!

The above is what we bring to you about how to defeat the ultimate boss Belial in Season 8, as well as the information on the rewards he can provide. Let’s look forward to the arrival of the new season together!

I believe you should have known through experience 2.2.0 PTR or watching related information that Diablo 4 Season 8 will bring boss power as a seasonal power plan, and will also bring back the classic boss Belial who once showed his prowess in Diablo 3.

According to the known information, Belial is expected to meet you in D4S8 as a Lair boss. On this basis, if you have not played Diablo 3, you may still be in a state of knowing nothing about it-in fact, 2.2.0 PTR does not fully show the combat content related to it. Therefore, in order to prepare in advance for obtaining Diablo 4 Gold and boss power by farming this boss in Season 8, you may want to know Belial’s identity, combat method, and what role he plays in the entire Diablo series plot.

Although Belial’s final performance may be different from that in Diablo 3 after Diablo 4 Season 8 is officially launched, the core information should not change too much, and the following information should be able to provide you with some reference.

What Kind Of Character Is Belial In Diablo Series?

If you know something about the entire Diablo series, you will know two premises about the plot: first, the names of almost all villains come from the Bible; second, these villains can be divided into Prime Evils and Lesser Evils according to their identity and strength. As one of the most important demons in Hell, Belial’s design inspiration comes from Belial in the Bible, and he is one of Lesser Evils.

In the story of Diablo, Belial and the other three Lesser Evils Azmodan, Andariel and Duriel often conflict with Prime Evils, including Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, and eventually expel them from hell to Sanctuary and imprison them. However, this is only part of Diablo’s plan to escape from Hell and conquer the human world and even heaven.

In the stories of Diablo 2 and Immortal, only Belial and Azmodan are still active demons, and the rest of the demons returned to the void after being defeated, so they planned to take the opportunity to conquer Sanctuary. However, not only did they fail, but they were also imprisoned in the soul stone together, except for Diablo, whose whereabouts are unknown. After that, Diablo continued to attack Sanctuary and Heaven until he was defeated and thrown back into the abyss at the end of Diablo 3. But his failure also led to the release of Belial and other demons, which may mean a more terrible future.

In the current Diablo 4 story, Andariel, Duriel and Lilith have joined forces to put an end to Diablo and his conspiracy, but Belial and Azmodan have not yet appeared. Therefore, it can be foreseen that if Belial really returns to Season 8, Sanctuary is bound to face a more hard storm.

Belial Boss Fight In Diablo 3

In Diablo 3, Belial’s boss fight takes place in the final mission of Act 2. After a short cutscene, you will officially face him in Imperial Palace. The entire fight is divided into 3 phases. The first phase is called “Even if you defeat me...” During this period, Belial will not fight himself, but will summon a fixed number of Veiled Sentinels and Veiled Evokers to attack you.

If you enter phase 2, “I will not be undone!”, it means that the previous summons are ineffective against you and Belial needs to be alert to you. Belial’s health will not be very high in this phase, but it should be noted that he will still summon minions and use the following skills, depending on the battle situation:

• Fly Swarms
• Melee Attack
• Reinforcements

When Belial’s health in phase 2 is reduced to less than 25% of his total health, it means that phase 3 is about to begin. During this time, Belial’s health will be restored to the maximum, but he will also become unable to move, and his skills will be changed to:

• Fist Slam
• Meteor Strike
• Breath

This boss is almost immune to control impairment in phase 3, so you must deal direct damage to him. Based on this, it would be a good choice to equip Xephirian amulet. In addition, the boss skill that really deserves your attention in this phase is Fist Slam, which is the most dangerous.

Belial In D4S8

Belial is expected to have three forms in Diablo 4 Season 8. The first is Apparition boss, which you can unlock double loot drops by defeating it quickly. Later, in Torment difficulty, Belial will continue to appear as a Lair boss. Defeating Belial in this case will unlock his Crystal Decoy boss power. If you can also defeat his Exalted Lair boss version, you can even get Eye Beams power.

In addition, if Belial will receive a similar story setting as Lilith, Mephisto, and Lord Zir in Season 8, you may also encounter his story boss version in the story quest. However, these and more related information can only be confirmed when Season 8 is officially launched.

If the information we provide makes you more interested in this boss, you can try to experience Diablo 3, or go to the forum to read more detailed Belial story lines compiled by other players. Thank you for reading.
