Loot tables Diablo 4: what Blizzard says each boss drops
Blizzard doesn't publish one complete Diablo IV loot table, or drop percentages per item. What it has published: the Duriel, Andariel and Harbinger of Hatred pools, changes to the other bosses, and how Hoards and Mythic Uniques work.
Blizzard doesn't publish one complete loot table for Diablo IV, and the patch notes we read give no drop percentage for any single item. What it does publish is scattered through its patch notes: full item pools for three bosses, changes to the others, and the rules for how Lair Bosses pay out.
So any list you can build from Blizzard's own words has gaps. This page gives what's there, and how old each part is.
What are the Diablo 4 boss loot pools?
Patch 2.4.0 (23 September 2025) is the last place we found full pools. It lists every item for the three Greater Lair Bosses:
| Unique item | Duriel | Andariel | Harbinger of Hatred |
|---|---|---|---|
| Azurewrath | Yes | Yes | – |
| Bane of Ahjad-Den | – | Yes | Yes |
| Banished Lord's Talisman | Yes | – | Yes |
| The Basilisk | – | Yes | Yes |
| Black River | – | Yes | Yes |
| Blood Moon Breeches | Yes | Yes | – |
| Blue Rose | Yes | Yes | – |
| Cowl of the Nameless | Yes | Yes | – |
| Crown of Lucion | Yes | – | Yes |
| Dolmen Stone | Yes | Yes | – |
| Flamescar | – | Yes | Yes |
| Flickerstep | – | Yes | Yes |
| Galvanic Azurite | – | Yes | Yes |
| Godslayer Crown | Yes | – | Yes |
| The Hand of Naz | Yes | – | Yes |
| Locran's Talisman | – | Yes | Yes |
| Ophidian Iris | Yes | – | Yes |
| Rod of Kepeleke | Yes | – | Yes |
| Scoundrel's Leathers | Yes | – | Yes |
| Sepazontec | Yes | Yes | – |
| Soulbrand | Yes | Yes | – |
| Sunbird's Gorget | – | Yes | Yes |
| Tempest Roar | Yes | – | Yes |
| The Third Blade | Yes | – | Yes |
| Tibault's Will | – | Yes | Yes |
| Tuskhelm of Joritz the Mighty | Yes | Yes | – |
| The Umbracrux | – | Yes | Yes |
| X'Fal's Corroded Signet | Yes | Yes | – |
Going by that list, each item sits in exactly two of the three pools. So if you're after one item, you have a choice of two bosses. Blizzard says the three pools "partially share" items, but the two-boss pattern is our own reading of its lists.
Later patches may have moved items, and we didn't find a newer full list.
What do the other Lair Bosses drop?
For the other bosses, patch 2.4.0 lists only what was added and removed, not the whole pool:
| Boss | Added in 2.4.0 | Removed in 2.4.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Grigoire | The Mortacrux, Endurant Faith, Hesha e Kesungi | – |
| Lord Zir | Vox Omium, Orphan Maker | Bane of Ahjad-Den |
| Varshan | Shard of Verathiel, Rakanoth's Wake, Sabre of Tsasgal, Gospel of the Devotee | Ring of the Midday Hunt |
| Beast in the Ice | Ring of the Midday Hunt, Kilt of Blackwing | – |
| Urivar | Hesha e Kesungi, Gospel of the Devotee | – |
Patch 2.5.0 also ties Path of the Emissary, a Spiritborn Unique, to Lord Zir. It adds that Lesser Evil events in the overworld reward Uniques from Lair Boss pools.
We found no published pool for Belial or for Echo of Mephisto. For Echo of Mephisto, Blizzard says only that its loot quality went up in Season of Hell's Legacy, with a guaranteed Mythic drop.
How does Diablo 4 boss loot work?
Patch 2.2 set out the system, and we didn't find these rules repeated in the later notes we read, so treat the numbers as the last ones Blizzard published rather than confirmed for today:
- Tiers: Initiate (Beast in the Ice, Grigoire, Lord Zir, Varshan, Urivar), Greater (Andariel, Duriel, Harbinger of Hatred) and Exalted (Belial). Urivar and Harbinger of Hatred needed Vessel of Hatred at the time.
- Hoards: a defeated Lair Boss doesn't drop its loot directly. A chest called a Hoard appears, and each player spends boss materials to open their own.
- First Unique: it comes from that boss's own pool. Further Uniques have a 50% chance of coming from the general pool instead.
- Parties: a 33% chance per additional party member of an extra Unique from the boss's pool.
The tiers have moved on since. Patch 3.1 renamed the top tier's key to Superior Lair Keys "now that Belial is not the only boss in that tier". The notes we read don't list the current tier 3 bosses.
Which bosses drop Mythic Uniques?
Season of Hell's Legacy, which began on 15 September 2026, is the newest statement we found. Blizzard says Mythic Uniques from Initiate Lair Bosses, Greater Lair Bosses and Belial's Hoard "will only include Mythic Uniques from that boss's Unique Item pool".
There's one exception. Lair Bosses also drop generic random loot, so Blizzard says "there remains a small chance" of a Mythic from outside the boss's pool.
The same notes raise the Mythic drop rate from Greater Lair Bosses and Belial slightly, and from Initiate bosses to match Greater ones. They give no figures. Random sources also got a higher chance, again with no number.
Does Blizzard publish drop rates?
Not per item, in anything we read. Its changes are worded as "slightly increased" or "increased". The only drop figures we found are the 50% and 33% rules above.
Fixes show that drops don't always match the intended tables, too. Patch 3.0.2 fixed "some Unique items" that had lower chances or wouldn't drop from their intended bosses, and Grigoire's low chance of dropping amulets. Patch 3.1.1 fixed certain sources, including Lair Bosses, not dropping Uniques as Mythic.
The same gap appears in Blizzard's older game: see the Cure and Mosaic runewords in Diablo II: Resurrected, where we say which stats it hasn't published.
How we checked
We read Blizzard's patch notes for 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.1, its Season of Hell's Legacy post and its notes for 3.2.2 to 3.2.4, all on 4 November 2026. We didn't read every Diablo IV patch, so a pool change in another one wouldn't show here. Nothing in the 3.2.2 to 3.2.4 notes mentions Lair Boss pools.
We've left out the Hoard Key costs from patch 2.2, because one line of that list has lost its label on Blizzard's page and we couldn't confirm the costs still apply. Item lists are as Blizzard wrote them in 2.4.0. We didn't test any drops ourselves. Blizzard's own spellings vary: "Beast in the Ice" is its heading, and "The Beast in Ice" also appears.
