Bosses are the big guys, extra powerful monsters with special graphics and quest or story significance in Diablo III. They are the most difficult and dangerous enemies in Diablo III, but also the source of the best potential item drops. Many quests and all of the acts end with an epic boss battle, which must be survived in order to continue advancing through the game.
Regular boss monsters are normal monsters with some hopped up stats and a special boss modifier or two. Bosses (technically known as "SuperUniques") are specially named and located enemies who may have different, unique graphics and special story importance. Only a few such monsters have thus far been revealed in Diablo III, and they are listed below. Click the names to see their full articles; this page is simply a master directory.
"Living siege Engine of Hell". The
Siege Breaker is an absolutely massive "miniboss" shown in the
WWI 2008 gameplay video. It's apparent that Blizzard is taking the gameplay with even the minor bosses to a whole new level in Diablo III! We don't know if he's a random encounter or not, but this big bad-ass is found in
Leoric Highlands.
Inside the
forgotten Tombs of the
WWI 2008 gameplay video, we got familiar with the
Thousand Pounder as he was summoned in to the scene. He's also seen in concept art work, and looks more like an overly powerful monster than an actual type of boss, like a SuperUnique.
The Skeleton King returns in Diablo III, and he's up to his old skeleton-summoning tricks. He's found sitting on his throne, must be awakened by the use of a quest item, and does not return in a good mood. Leoric wields a gigantic hammer and commands a vast army of the undead. He is a quest boss and was the final creature to defeat in the
BlizzCon 2008 demo build. See
The Skeleton King quest article for more details.
