    3. Sacrifice the four components at the Malignant Altar to summon the Echo of Varshan.

    • Tips
    • Ensure your poison resistance is maxed (at least 70%) before fighting Duriel. Use Royal Emeralds in your jewelry if necessary.
    • Duriel deals significant physical damage, so prepare accordingly based on your class and build.
    • Duriel uses scythe attacks and spews venom, leaving AoE poison patches on the ground. Avoid these areas.
    • Duriel can summon maggots; be aware of their spawn locations to avoid damage.
    • The Pangs of Duriel are a prelude to the main fight and are significantly weaker.
