Diablo 4 Tormented Invoker of Varshan Explained

Learn how to craft the Tormented Invoker of Varshan in Diablo IV Season 1. Get the materials and unlock the Uber Varshan fight with this guide.

Alright, so you're looking to take on the Uber Varshan fight in Diablo IV Season 1, huh? That means you need the Tormented Invoker of Varshan. It's a bit of a process, involving a few steps and some grinding, but I'll walk you through exactly how to get it. Think of it as a multi-stage boss unlock!

Here's the rundown on how to get the Tormented Invoker of Varshan:

1. First things first, you absolutely need to have finished the main Season storyline. No shortcuts here!
2. Next, you'll need to fight the Echo of Varshan. You can do this on World Tier 1 or 2. After you defeat it, make sure you grab the Foul recipe that drops.
3. Now, head to the Occultist and craft a Foul Invoker of Varshan. You'll need some Ichor and 50 Sigil Powder for this.
4. Once you've got that Foul Invoker, make your way to World Tier 3. Use the Foul Invoker on a Monstrous Growth and then beat that boss.
5. After that victory, you'll finally claim and activate the Tormented Invoker recipe. Congrats!
6. The last step is to gather the specific materials needed to craft the Tormented Invoker of Varshan itself.

Getting to that point (step 5) will involve a bit of a grind, especially in World Tier 3. The main thing you'll likely be hunting for is Sigil Powder. This material starts showing up from events in World Tier 3 and beyond. Alternatively, you can dismantle Nightmare Sigils at the Occultist after completing a level 5 Nightmare Sigil. This is a great way to start accumulating Powder.

Once you've gone through all that and defeated the Echo of Varshan on World Tier 3, you'll unlock the Tormented Recipe. This recipe is your ticket to fighting the boss on World Tier 4, specifically in the Malignant Tunnels. This is crucial if you're aiming to face the Uber version of Varshan, which is a super tough boss that appears later in the game, kind of like Uber Lilith.

After you've got the recipe unlocked, you'll need these specific items to craft the Tormented Invoker of Varshan:

• 5x Forgotten Souls
• 5x Fiend Rose
• 1x Invoker of Varshan

Don't worry, these are pretty standard materials. You'll get Forgotten Souls and Fiend Rose from Helltides. Keep an eye out for Forgotten Souls from killing enemies, Helltide bosses, or completing events during Helltides. Fiend Rose can be found the same way, and sometimes you'll even find herb nodes within Helltide areas that have turned into Fiend Rose – just pick them up as you go. When you spend your Aberrant Cinders (which drop from pretty much everything during Helltides) at Helltide Mystery Chests or other targeted chests, you can also snag random crafting materials like Forgotten Souls and Fiend Rose.

With those materials in hand, you can craft the Tormented Invoker of Varshan and then head into World Tier 4 to take on the Uber version of Varshan. Be warned, this is the hardest version of the fight, and it's a level 80 boss! Pulling this off means you've successfully navigated the steps to fight all the versions of the Varshan seasonal boss.
