Do you need to know what the Malignant Burrow is and where to find it in Diablo 4? Season 2 has brought plenty of new content to the game, and this dark burrow is just one of the spots to head to.
This spot is where you’ll find one of the new endgame bosses that came with Season 2. However, if you don’t know what you’re looking for, it can be tough to figure out what to do here, if you can even find it. We’re here to show you where the Malignant Burrow is located, and how to summon the terrifying boss you can fight here.
Where to find Malignant Burrow
The Malignant Burrow can be found just East of the Tree of Whispers, in the Hawezar region of Sanctuary. You should have the waypoint for the tree unlocked already, so it’s easiest to simply use it to travel there.
It’s important to note that you’ll only be able to access the Malignant Burrow in the endgame, after completing the main questline. You also need to complete The Whispers of the Dead quest before heading to the location.
How to summon Echo of Varshan in the Malignant Burrow
The Malignant Burrow is where you can summon the Season 2 endgame boss, Echo of Varshan. However, you need some materials in order to do so. In order to summon him, you’ll need the following:
- Gurgling Head
- Blackened Femur
- Trembling Hand
- Malignant Heart (World Tier 4 only)
The head, femur, and hand can be obtained from Whisper Caches, which you earn from completing Grim Favors. You can also pick these up as random drops from defeating Grotesque Debtors, however, the Whisper Caches are what I’ve found to be the most reliable.
If you don’t feel like finding them, you can also craft these body parts of Varshan at the Alchemist. You’ll need a Malignant Heart and 15 Veiled Crystals for each though, as well as four Baleful Fragments for the hand, four Coiling Wards for the femur, and four Abstruse Sigils for the head.
The Malignant Heart, which is only needed if you’re fighting Echo of Varshan on World Tier Torment, can be found in Whisper Caches, as well. These Malignant Hearts are not the same as the Malignant Hearts from Season of the Malignant. They’ll remain available in the Eternal Realm.
Once you have all the materials needed, head to the Malignant Burrow and find the Malignant Altar. Interact with it, and use the body parts you’ve scavenged to summon Echo of Varshan to fight this powerful enemy.
That’s all you need to know about the Malignant Burrow in Diablo 4. Check out our guide on the best builds tier list for Season 2 of the game to be ready for any boss thrown your way.
