Blizzard has implemented a hotfix for Diablo 4 that increases the drop rates for Uber Uniques from Echo of Duriel, and this will be active until January 8th.
In Season 2 of Diablo 4, players can acquire a distinctive mount and various items by defeating Echo of Duriel. To initiate the battle with this boss, gamers must gather the required summoning materials. Located in the Level 100 dungeon known as Gaping Crevasse, Echo of Duriel can be encountered there. The entrance to Gaping Crevasse is situated in southern Kehjistan, adjacent to its capital, Gea Kul.
Now, Blizzard has released a Diablo 4 hotfix which will double Duriel’s Uber Unique drop rates.
