Diablo 4 Belial Loots & Mechanics Guide & How To Summon in Season 8

In Diablo IV, Belial is a powerful boss that plays a key role in the Season 8 content, particularly in the Apparition Incursions event. He appears in two forms: "Mini" Belial and "Uber" Belial, each offering different challenges for players to overcome. In this Diablo 4 Season 8 Belial guide, we’ll explore Belial drops, how to summon, defeat, and loot Belial, the top boss of Season 8 in Diablo 4.

What's Belial in Diablo 4 Season 8?

Belial serves as one of the more challenging bosses in Diablo IV, with his distinct mechanics requiring players to manage positioning, dodging attacks, and managing AoE effects. His two forms provide different levels of difficulty, and his appearance in Season 8's events ties into the greater narrative and challenges available during that period. Players who conquer Belial’s trials can gain powerful loot and unique abilities to enhance their gameplay. Belial's inclusion in Diablo IV serves to challenge players with both strategic positioning and fast-paced combat mechanics, making him a significant encounter for those tackling the game’s endgame content.

D4 Season 8 Belial Tips & Tricks

Defeat Mini Belial:

Mini Belial is the lesser form of Belial, which has a small chance of spawning after any successful Initiate or Greater Lair Boss fight. Upon defeating Mini Belial, you can obtain Betrayer's Husk.

Collect 4 Betrayer's Husk:

To unlock Belial's Boss Hoard, you will need 4 Betrayer's Husk, which can only be dropped by Mini Belial. Betrayer's Husk is the required Lair Key to open Belial's chest and claim the loot.

Form a Party for Loot Increase:

Starting in Season 8, each party member increases the chance of receiving an additional Unique item from any Lair Boss, including Belial. The chance increases by 33% per player, up to 100% for a full party of 4 players.

Looting Belial's Boss Hoard:

After defeating Belial, players use 4 Betrayer's Husk to unlock the Boss Hoard. Unlike other Lair Bosses, Belial's loot table does not have specific items tied to it. However, players can target loot from other Lair Bosses by selecting that specific Boss during the summoning of Belial.
