Diablo Immortal patch 1.5.5 has arrived in Diablo Immortal, bringing a new Helliquary boss – two, in fact – to the fantasy game alongside the introduction of the season four battle pass and two new limited-time events to help players work through the Diablo Immortal leveling process as well as earn new cosmetics. Blizzard also notes that there will not be a content update in two weeks time as is its usual update schedule, because the team is preparing for the first “major update” to the RPG game set to arrive in late September.
Diablo Immortal patch 1.5.5 goes live on August 31 at 3am PT / 6am ET / 11am BST / 12pm CEST for servers in Europe and the Americas, following a two hour server maintenance period. Servers in Oceania, China, East Asia, and Southeast Asia will see the patch go live on August 30 at 5pm PT / 8pm ET (August 31 at 1am BST / 2am CEST / 8am CST / 10am AEST).
Leading the charge for this Diablo Immortal update are the new dual Helliquary bosses, Gishtur and Beledwe. Along with being rather a mouthful to say, Diablo Immortal’s fourth Helliquary boss fight arrives on September 2 and is set to push the challenge up even more with a base recommended combat rating of 4665, compared to previous boss Gorgothra the Claimer’s combat rating of 2935 for its base difficulty (with the third tier set at 5205 CR). Meanwhile, some players are still attempting to gear up to fight second Helliquary boss Vitaath.
If you aren’t ready for high-end content yet, there’s still plenty to look forward to in the new update. A new limited-time event called Mists of Cyrangar runs from September 21-30, offering a number of rewards to be claimed while also providing a bonus experience buff to all players who are behind the current server paragon level – allowing newer players an opportunity to catch up to the rest of the community. Meanwhile, another limited-time event called The Scorched Sea runs from September 14-28, and offers milestone rewards including a new portrait frame.
Diablo Immortal season four begins on September 1 at 3am server time. Alongside it will be the Diablo Immortal season four battle pass, Inner Light, with 40 ranks of rewards to earn. Players can also purchase an empowered battle pass for additional rewards including the Inner Light weapon and armour cosmetics, or a collector’s empowered battle pass that also includes an avatar frame, portal cosmetic, and a ten rank boost to the battle pass.
A couple of additional quality of life features are also included in Diablo Immortal update 1.5.5. Firstly, a lock function for your Diablo Immortal legendary gems prevents players from accidentally consuming a gem while in the process of upgrading it. Furthermore, a new wing slot has been added to the inventory cosmetics screen, and Blizzard notes that earning or equipping new outfits will no longer remove your equipped Resonance Wings.
