On the beta servers of Diablo 3, a new Rift Guardian is introduced. His name is Vesalius, he is icy cold and comes without companions.
A new face appears on the battlefields of Diablo 3. Well, at least on the beta servers, as the new boss has been found there now. In the stream by Zhanji, the Rift Guardian Vesalius showcased his abilities.

While players on Blizzard’s test servers can try out the Necromancer, further changes in Patch 2.6.0 of Diablo 3 are noticeable. This includes the new Rift Boss Vesalius. At the end of a Rift, where the streamer Zhanji was located, the new boss appeared and immediately showcased his abilities. These include:
- Wormhole – You already know it from other enemies in Diablo 3
- Icy Spheres – Similar to the other spheres in the game
- Bullet Salvos – A handful of projectiles fired at you
- Presumably, Vesalius can dive into the ground and create four copies of himself. This, however, has not been confirmed yet.
In general, Vesalius moves very quickly. This makes it difficult to escape him without “Teleport” or similar abilities. During the boss fight, no companions were summoned. In the following video, you can see the fight against the new Rift boss.
According to Troupster, Vesalius could be a copy of an already existing opponent. Vidian can be found on the second level in the Temple of the Firstborn (Act 2). However, he summons adds, which we have so far avoided with Vesalius. A visual similarity can be recognized in the following screenshot.
