How do I defeat Diablo 4 Ashava? This world boss is by far and away the toughest challenge in the early game. This fearsome demon effortlessly steals the lives of wayward adventurers using its scythed talons – but you won’t find her lurking at the end of a dungeon. Instead, Ashava’s hellish portal only appears at set times. She’s easy to miss, but we’re here to help ensure you both locate and beat her within her set spawn times.

While there will undoubtedly be a whole host of Diablo 4 world bosses to take on once we’re able to fully explore the open-world game upon its release date, Ashava is the first to be revealed as part of the Diablo 4 beta. Here’s the lowdown on Ashava the Pestilent’s location and spawn times, so you can find and beat one of the toughest world bosses in what may be one of the best PC games of this year.
