Diablo 4 Patch 1.0.4 Improves Helltide Chests & Nerfs Some Bosses

Blizzard has rolled out the next series of adjustments for Diablo 4 to improve the gameplay experience further. According to the patch notes, Helltide chests can now drop Unique items. In addition, the bosses, Vhenard, Brol, and Cyhrach have been nerfed. Their health pools and damage has been reduced which may impact the encounter’s experience.

A wide variety of fixes also accompany the changes above. Gameplay problems such as damage multiplier errors, enemies dealing damage through immunity, items not performing according to their descriptions, and skill issues with certain classes were addressed. The issue of Cheat Death effects failing to trigger under certain conditions was also fixed.

Several problems pertaining to quests and dungeons were also addressed in the latest update of Diablo 4. These include the traversal issue restricting progression in The Blind Eye quest, the Mother’s Judgement enemy spawning at the wrong time in Whispers from the Past quest, and multiple issues where progress would be blocked if the player used a Town Portal during specific sequences.

Adjustments for the UI have also been implemented in Diablo 4’s v1.0.4. The QR code used for account linking on console was resized to improve the scanning process. An issue where the Imprint cost for Legendary Aspects would be inaccurately displayed along with the problem where the Upgrade Glyph tab wouldn’t close after moving away from the Awakened Glyphstone have also been resolved.

Other fixes in this patch include localization improvements, enhanced stability, and performance across all platforms, and the resolution of an issue where the camera would pan from the point of death back to the respawn point instead of instantly moving for players in Local Co-Op.

Diablo 4 is out now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, and last-gen consoles.
