Diablo 4 Varshan: How to Summon and Kill the Echo of Varshan

Varshan waits in the Malignant Burrow, the lair beside the Tree of Whispers waypoint in Hawezar. Teleport to the Tree of Whispers and the entrance is a few steps away.

He is an Initiate Lair Boss, the lowest rung of the Lair Boss ladder.

Early seasons asked for a set of summoning materials before Varshan would appear. That rule is gone.

In Season 15 the fight is open to anyone on Torment 1 or higher. The key only matters after the kill: Lair Key opens Varshan's Hoard, 1 key per Hoard.

Want another Hoard? Beat him again, then spend another key.

1. Watch the floor. His big hits are marked on the ground before they land, so step out of the marked area.
2. Kill the servants early. Varshan calls 3 servants into the room and tries to absorb them. Every one he absorbs makes the fight harder, so burst them down the moment they show.
3. Bring resistances. He hits with Shadow and Physical damage.
4. Open the Hoard. Once he falls, use your Lair Key on the Hoard to roll his loot.

His boss trophy is the Malignant Heart.

Lair Keys come from endgame activity. War Plans hand them out steadily, and the Tree of Whispers is the activity tied to Varshan's key.

His Hoard also moves you up the ladder: opening an Initiate Hoard can earn you Greater Lair Keys for the bosses above him.

Duriel is one of the Greater Lair Bosses those keys open. His fight is in our Diablo 4 Duriel guide.

Season 15, the Season of Hell's Legacy, began on 15 September 2026.

The loot table above lists Season 15 drops, and Varshan still opens the Lair Boss ladder this season.
