Alright, fellow demon hunters and loot enthusiasts, gather ’round because we’re diving into the Season 3 boss bonanza in Diablo 4. The big baddie? The Vault Keeper. But wait, there’s more – the Son of Malphas might just crash the party for an extra round of demon-slaying delight. Let’s talk about where to track down this optional boss in the Season of the Construct.
Where to Find the Son of Malphas in Diablo 4
Now, this demon spawn isn’t just lounging around waiting for a chat; you’ve got to seek him out. The Son of Malphas can randomly pop up as a boss encounter in any of the five Nightmare Vaults on World Tier 3 or higher. These upgraded Vaults are the Season of the Construct’s version of the standard quest line Vaults – think of them as the VIP section of demon dungeons.
So, gear up and step into one of these higher-tier Vaults, and voila! The Son of Malphas might just be waiting to greet you. It’s like a demon jackpot, but remember, chance is the name of the game. Just like bumping into the Butcher in regular dungeons, it’s all about luck. See that boss bar? Brace yourself for a showdown because losing means saying goodbye to that sweet loot.
And here’s the kicker – even after you’ve sent this demon packing once, he’s not one to take a hint. He might crash the party again in later Vaults. By the time I hit level 65, I had a trio of run-ins with the Son of Malphas. Each time, I walked away with Legendary gear and Tuning Stones to jazz up my seasonal toolkit.
How to Beat the Son of Malphas in Diablo 4
Now, let’s talk strategy because this demon ain’t a pushover. The Son of Malphas does a dance of jump attacks and fireball cones, and you better have some slick moves to dodge those. Healing through his regular attacks is a breeze, but when that fiery sword cone comes out to play, you want to cozy up to his backside. After the cone of doom, watch him pull a disappearing act into the air.
A few seconds later, a circle appears on the ground – that’s his landing spot, and you better sidestep pronto. Once he’s back on solid ground, resume the damage-dealing dance and get ready for another round of fiery cones.
Once you’ve given the Son of Malphas a run for his demonic money, it’s time to move on to the Echo of Malphas in Diablo 4.
