Ashava the Pestilent, the Diablo 4 beta world boss, is by far and away the toughest challenge in the server slam. This pestilent demon effortlessly steals the lives of wayward adventurers using its scythed talons – but you won’t find her lurking at the end of a dungeon. Instead, Ashava’s hellish portal only appears at set times. She’s easy to miss, but we’re here to help ensure you both locate and beat her within her set spawn times.
While there will undoubtedly be a whole host of Diablo 4 world bosses to take on once we’re able to fully explore the open-world game upon its release date, there’s currently only one world boss that you can expect to encounter in the Diablo 4 server slam. Here’s the lowdown on Ashava the Pestilent’s location and spawn times, so you can find and beat one of the toughest world bosses in what may be one of the best PC games of this year.
Where to find the Diablo 4 world boss Ashava location
The Diablo 4 world boss, Ashava the Pestilent, is located in The Crucible, the easternmost area in the Fractured Peaks region. Thankfully, you don’t have to spend your precious time with the Diablo 4 beta waiting around for Ashava to spawn. Once this fearsome boss appears, a tooltip appears advising you to travel to the marked location on your Diablo 4 map.
