Supreme Belial Emerges: Season 8 Boss Fight Preview

Staff Avatar by Staff

As we have already covered the “Baby Belial” fight, it’s now time to take a look at his final form!
This isn’t just a buffed version of the Lesser Belial fight. Supreme Belial brings a familiar arena and a very classic flair, all heavily inspired by his original appearance in Diablo 3.

How to Unlock the Supreme Belial Fight

To actually be able to fight the true Belial, you’ll need to complete a few steps first:

  1. Defeat Lesser Belial during his ambushes – After defeating bosses from the Apparition Incursions or Greater Lair bosses, there’s a chance that Lesser Belial will ambush you.
  2. Obtain the Betrayer’s Husk – a key item needed to summon the Supreme version.
  3. Use the Key – Bring the item to the Altar of Deceit in the Scorched Wastes to unlock the full encounter.

A Familiar Face Returns

If you have played Diablo 3, you likely remember this fight. Back then, it was iconic, and Blizzard has clearly tried to catch the same energy in Diablo 4.

Here’s the fight in Diablo 4’s Season 8!

If we compare both fights, it’s clear that Blizzard aimed to recreate the same feeling we had in Diablo 3. The attack pattern and mechanics are very similar to its original, with a few new additions, like the “Eyeball” mechanic, where you need to find the closed eye to dodge a potential one-shot mechanic.

What do you think? Did Blizzard do a great job at recreating such an iconic fight, or would you’ve liked to see a completely new approach? Let us know on X!
