Learn how to summon the Echo of Varshan in Diablo IV Season 2. Gather Blackened Femurs, Gurgling Heads, Malignant Hearts, and Trembling Hands from Tree of Whispers caches or Grotesque Debtors.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Gather Materials: You need one of each of the following items: Blackened Femur, Gurgling Head, Malignant Heart, and Trembling Hand.
  2. 2
    These materials can be acquired by completing Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers and opening the reward caches. Any type of cache will work.
  3. 3
    Alternatively, defeat Grotesque Debtors, special enemies that appear randomly after completing other activities.
  4. 4
    Refine Resources (if needed): If you have an excess of one material and are short on another, visit an alchemist. Under the “Refine Resources” tab, select “Summoning Item” to see formulae for crafting missing materials using other resources and Veiled Crystals.
  5. 5
    Example Formula: 1 Blackened Femur can be crafted with 1 Malignant Heart, 4 Coiling Wards, and 15 Veiled Crystals.
  6. 6
    Locate the Summoning Site: Travel to the Malignant Burrow, a mini-dungeon located near the Tree of Whispers in the northeastern corner of The Whispering Mire, Hawezar.
  7. 7
    Summon the Echo of Varshan: Once inside the Malignant Burrow, proceed to the Malignant Altar and offer one of each of the four required malignant body parts to summon the Echo of Varshan.
Tips
  • The Echo of Varshan primarily uses physical damage, with tentacle attacks and bursts of corruption that mark the ground. Keep potions and evasive skills ready.
  • The boss can summon adds (three elite enemies) that make the Echo of Varshan invulnerable. Use Area of Effect (AoE) abilities to deal with these adds quickly.
  • While tedious to farm, the components for summoning the Echo of Varshan tend to accumulate naturally as you play.
  • The Echo of Varshan is the only source of the Mucous-Slick Egg material (required for summoning Duriel, Maggot King) when fought on World Tier IV.
  • The Echo of Varshan can drop unique items specific to each class.
  • On World Tier IV, it drops the Mucous-Slick Egg, a material needed to summon Duriel, Maggot King.
