Seasonal Theme: Boss Powers and Apparition Incursions

Season 8 revolves around Boss Powers, a new system where you steal abilities from major bosses. There are 24 unique Boss Powers, each with a Main effect and Modifiers. You can equip 1 Main Power and 3 Modifiers, customizing your playstyle. These powers are upgradable using Spectral Ash, a currency earned from boss fights and Apparition Incursions.

Apparition Incursions

This new seasonal activity triggers all over the Sanctuary. These are timed boss-rush events that spawn powerful minions and eventually summon Apparition Bosses. Defeating them grants early access to Diablo 4 Items Boss Powers. If you're efficient enough, you may even face Belial himself at the end of the event.

Revamped Boss Ladder and Belial

From Torment difficulty onward, the Boss Ladder is now open with no material requirements. Instead of crafting summoning items, players now collect Lair Boss Keys, which open chests full of loot after defeating bosses.

Stygian Stones return with a twist: they can now be converted into Lair Boss Keys for Greater Bosses like Duriel, Andariel, and the newly introduced Harbinger of Hatred.

Fighting bosses also opens the possibility of Diablo 4 Items for sale encountering a Belial ambush. If defeated, he drops a second loot pile and Betrayer's Husks, a key needed to challenge the full version of Belial. While you can't double his loot, defeating him lets you choose rewards from any boss's hoard, making him a central figure in loot farming.
