The Butcher in Diablo 4 has cost many players their lives. In Season 3, a new boss was introduced that functions similarly, surprising you in dungeons. As players have now discovered, both can even appear at the same time.
The Butcher has been a known boss of the franchise since the beginnings in Diablo 1, and in Diablo 4, he spreads terror and surprises players during dungeons. With the Son of Malphas, another representative joined in Season 3. According to many players, he is even tougher than the Butcher and can appear in the new dungeon type Vault
.
The special thing about both is the element of surprise. Especially with hardcore characters, one of the two can directly lead to your death. As players have now discovered, this can even become more annoying, as both can appear simultaneously.
In Season 3 of Diablo 4, you can expect constructs and a new companion:
The user GaunerHarakiri posted on Reddit a video of him fighting the Butcher and the Son of Malphas at the same time on World Tier 4 in a Vault. He managed to defeat both, but the fight was quite challenging in the confined space.
Defeating either of them is a difficult task depending on the situation, but randomly encountering both can mean the end of your character. The comments describe the strength of the new boss and the fear of dying.
The user Dantebenuto respects the new surprise boss so much that he has already fled from him, even though he believes he can defeat him. In his hardcore run, he was just too cautious.
Despite the possibility of dying, players also enjoy facing two surprise bosses at the same time. Zogster77 writes: I was victorious, but I had no potions and about 50 health points left. Quite funny actually.
Many fans of Diablo 4 have not yet warmed up to Season 3 and criticize many aspects of the new season. Especially the vaults and the new companion Seneschal are subjects of criticism. Nonetheless, there are also players who are currently having a lot of fun with the game and its new mechanics.
