This season of Diablo 4, Blizzard has added a new Uber Boss to the mix, the Echo of Andariel, joining her pal Duriel as a campaign villain brought into the endgame. Andariel was something of an anticlimactic fight in the campaign, but now she’s going to be a lot tougher. But where do you find her? How do you summon her?
For starters, you need two new materials:
- Sandscorched Shackles – From Lord Zir
- Pincushioned Dolls – The Beast in the Ice (note here, there are some reports of Dolls not dropping from here. I also have received Dolls from not killing The Beast in the Ice, I believe it was a world boss)
Then, once you have 2x of each material, you need to head to the Altar of Anguish which is located insight the Hanged Man’s Hall dungeon, which is in Kehjistan.
Andariel has a poison nova, Anguish statues that shoot beams that must be killed, fire and lightning attacks and then a final beam blast at 20% health. So at the very least, go in with fire and lightning resists maxed.
As for her loot? Andariel has been given the same loot pool as her buddy Duriel, which includes his collection of Uber Uniques.
Uber Uniques:
- Tyrael’s Might (All Classes) – Chest Armor
- Ahavarion, Spear of Lycander (Druid/Sorcerer) – Staff
- Andariel’s Visage (All Classes) – Helmet
- Doombringer (Barbarian, Necromancer, Rogue) – One-Handed Sword
- Harlequin Crest (All Classes) – Helmet
- Melted Heart of Selig (All Classes) – Amulet
- Ring of Starless Skies (All Classes) – Ring
- The Grandfather (Barbarian, Necromancer) – Two Handed Sword
Class Uniques:
- Barbarian – Azurewrath, Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty
- Druid – Tempest Roar, Dolmen Stone
- Necromancer – Black River, Blood Moon Breeches
- Rogue – Cowl of the Nameless, Scoundrel’s Leather
- Sorcerer – Flamescar, Blue Rose
- All Classes – Godslayer Crown, Flickerstep, Tibault’s Will, X’Fal’s Corroded Signet, Soulbrand, Banished Lord’s Talisman
Depending on your build and stage in the game, Andariel can be hard, but not that hard. I mean, people have been one-shotting Duriel for ages now, and the same can be true here at higher levels. Rather, the most punishing content in the game in season 4 is now pushing into the highest tiers of The Pit, so Andariel is not really public enemy number one at this point, just a neat addition.
Good luck with your material and Unique hunts, and say hi to her for me, I’m busy in The Pit for now.
