Varshan

Varshan is an endgame boss who can be target-farmed for unique items. He was added in Season 1: Season of the Malignant. Following the release of the Patch 1.2.0, Varshan was added to the Boss Ladder on both the Seasonal and Eternal realms. Varshan is available in World Tier 3 and World Tier 4.

He is best tackled at Level 75+ if doing World Tier 4.

Summoning Varshan Requirements

To summon Varshan, players must first collect the following items:

• Blackened Femur x 1
• Trembling Hand x 1
• Gurgling Head x 1
• Malignant Heart (Required for World Tier 4 only)

1 Blackened Femur needed to summon	1 Trembling Hand needed to summon
1 Gurgling Head is needed to summon	1 Malignant Heart is needed to summon in WT 4

The best way to obtain these items is to get them in cache rewards from the Whispers of the Dead objectives for the Tree of Whispers. They can also be crafted at the Alchemist.

Where to summon Varshan?

Varshan is summoned within the Malignant Burrow [Map] next to the Tree of Whispers. Inside the Burrow, you'll see an alter which is where you deposit the body parts to perform the ritual. If you die during the fight you can reenter his arena without using more body parts.

Defeating Varshan

Be sure to get your Shadow resistance up to a minimum of 50%.

Varshan has three main forms of attack.

• Tentacles applying physical and Shadow damage and a spray of putrid Shadow damage projectiles.
  • One of the attacks consists of three tentacles whipping you across the head and applying physical damage and it can render you "Afflicted by Corrupted".
  • The other is when you are at range. He will extend a tentacle towards you and hoist himself quickly to you, slapping you with the other two tentacles, again applying physical and Shadow damage.
  • Stand behind him to avoid his tentacles.
• Summons 3 Elites minions every 50 - 60 seconds that he channels to drain their abilities which, if he completes the channelling, he will offload on you.
  • Whilst he is channelling them he's not attacking you so you could use this opportunity to damage him before destroying the minion.
• Area of Effect attack that radiates outwards in patterns on the ground. You have about 2 seconds to get off the patterns before they explode and apply massive Shadow and Physical damage.
  • There are spaces on the ground that you can dodge.

Varshan has a barrier that he will erect periodically.

Important Drops

As well as Uniques (see loot table below), Varshan can drop the Mucus-Slick Egg which is required to summon the other endgame boss Duriel in the Gaping Crevasse and you will farm him for the Uber Uniques drops.

Specific Unique items can be dropped by Varshan which means he's an ideal candidate to farm and those items are detailed in the tables below. It is not guaranteed he will drop a unique item.
