Every major boss in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred

There are a total of 11 main bosses in this new expansion and are as follows:

Enkindled Judicator

This is the first boss in the Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred DLC during the "Pursuit of Justice" main mission. This bulking soldier emerges from the burning ruins of the Windswept Cabin, wielding a big hammer. His swings are slow but hit hard and he also has a fire attack, though he should be easy to deal with due to being a starter boss.

Abhorrent Manifestation

As the name suggests, this boss is an Eldritch horror in terms of design. It is encountered during the "Enmity Rising" mission during the encroaching Hollows part. This creature does not inflict much damage despite melee strikes but does summon Mminion Hollows to aid itself.

Nangari Deathworker

Progressing through the quest "Thrust into the Dark" will see players come face to face with the serpentine Nangari Deathworker in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred. It is a giant Nangari so it specializes in dealing AOE poison damage in addition to melee. Having gear that negates this damage will make it easy to beat an already trivial fight.

Vesicator

The Vesicator will spawn after defeating the initial wave of Frothers, as a giant, hulking monstrosity of muscle and tentacles. Found at the end of "The Heart of All Rot" mission, it attacks using its fleshy arms. It can also inflict poison damage and summon annoying Regurgitor minions to deal with.

Awoken Dead

This pudgy horror is encountered in the Forgotten Chamber during the "Fundament of Faith" mission of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred. It can use powerful lighting attacks on top of being able to swing at the player. Hostile Shambling Corpses will also occasionally spawn to help the boss.

Ah Bulan, Mender of Veils

Ah Bulan, Mender of Veils is easily one of the more memorable spectacles in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred. This boss is a four-legged, spear-and-shield-wielding beast encountered in the Spirit Realm during the "Across the Threshold" mission. He can perform stomping attacks and spawn two powerful clones by his side.

Eidolon of Jualin

Encountered early on in the "Living Memory" questline, players must contend with the Eidolon of Jualin later after searching the Buried Chamber. This towering red spirit uses magic attacks and can summon mini-tornadoes that drastically limit player vision while caught inside.

Urivar

Urivar is fought as part of the main mission "Burning Crusade" in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred. This sees players descend into the Knight's Encampment dungeon where this armor-clad threat awaits. He will fight alongside his army of knights in addition to launching powerful melee attacks.

Priestess of Hatred

The Priestess of Hatred is a foul, grotesque monster found at the befouled Clearing in Heirophant Pyre. It is fought during "The Way Out Is Through" mission and despite its size, the boss can be fairly swift in both movement and attacks. Be wary of its blood magic, especially a powerful beam that sweeps the battlefield.

Dread Captain

The "In His Footsteps" mission in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred will take players to Seta O-Akha where they will have to battle the Dread Captain. He spawns before entering the Tomb of Akarat brandishing a massive pillar and attacks using ice damage. He will also be supported by minions, including a Water Watcher that deals poison attacks from range.

Harbinger of Hatred

The Harbinger of Hatred is the final boss fight for this DLC campaign during the 'All Good Things" mission in Domain of Mephisto. This draconic entity of malice will be fought in a small arena where waves of enemies will spawn throughout the fight before the demon is vulnerable. Use Akarat's buffs to dismantle the beast across its various phases.
