Diablo 4 / World Boss
Azmodan
Azmodan is the Lord of Sin, a demon lord who commands legions from the Burning Hells, and one of the four core Diablo 4 World Bosses.
Azmodan joined the World Boss pool after the original three, which is why older guides still list only Ashava, Avarice and Wandering Death. If a tracker or an old article tells you there are three World Bosses, it is out of date.
Azmodan Rewards
Community trackers do not agree on a named cosmetic set for Azmodan, so this page does not list one. Treat the mount and trophy as a reason to clear the boss rather than as a farm target until a tracker you trust confirms the names.
| Legendary items | Every World Boss kill drops legendaries. |
|---|---|
| Summoning materials | Materials used for endgame boss summons. |
| Reward cache | One guaranteed cache per day. Further kills the same day give regular floor loot. |
| Ancestral items | Join the reward pool in Torment III and above. |
| Experience | Large XP for players standing at the spawn. |
| Gilding Crests | Used for masterworking gear. |
When Azmodan Spawns
World Bosses spawn on a 3.5-hour cycle, which is 210 minutes, and stay in the world for 15 minutes. Blizzard broadcasts a message to all players when the boss is 15 minutes away, and the boss icon appears on your map so you can teleport straight to the spawn point.
The Diablo 4 World Boss timer lists the next twelve spawn times in UTC and in your own time zone, and can send you a browser alert before the window opens. It deliberately does not name the boss for each spawn, because Blizzard does not publish the rotation.
How to Prepare
| Window | 15 minutes. A missed window means another three and a half hours. |
|---|---|
| Group | World Bosses are server-wide events, so other players are already there. |
| Teleport | Teleport in from the map once the boss icon appears rather than running to the zone. |
| Daily cache | The guaranteed cache drops once per day, so one clear a day is enough. |
| Torment | Ancestral items enter the reward pool in Torment III and above. |
FAQ
- When does Azmodan spawn?
- World Bosses spawn on a 3.5-hour cycle, and Azmodan appears somewhere in that rotation. Blizzard does not publish the rotation order, so this page does not guess which spawn is next - the [World Boss timer](/diablo-4/world-boss-timer/) lists the next twelve spawn times.
- What does Azmodan drop?
- Legendary items, summoning materials, experience and Gilding Crests, plus a guaranteed reward cache once per day. In Torment III and above the reward pool includes Ancestral items.
- How long do I have to kill it?
- Fifteen minutes from the moment it spawns. Blizzard broadcasts a message to all players 15 minutes ahead, and the boss icon appears on your map so you can teleport straight to it.
