Everyone remembers their first time in Sanctuary — those iconic guitar chords, the feel of dread in Tristram, and the first time they ever heard «Stay a while, and listen.» The Diablo series evokes powerful memories, creates countless friendships, and has become a beloved franchise for both Blizzard and players alike. While no one thing alone can make these games iconic, everything fits together like puzzle pieces: from music, to level design, to quests, all the way to our favorite characters. Harrison Pink, Senior Quest Designer II for Diablo 4, knows better than most about the impact of Diablo on those who play and work on these games. Having been with Blizzard for almost seven years, Pink is now saying goodbye to the company in favor of greener pastures — so let's take a look at some of his incredible contributions to our favorite series!

Varshan's boss encounter is tied to the Tree of Whispers, a place in northern Hawezar where you can complete Whisper of the Dead activities for different rewards. If you are playing within World Tier 4 in Diablo 4, you should be able to see the Malignant Burrow dungeon on your map close to the Tree.

These are obtained from Grotesque Debtors, enemies that you face during the Whispers of the Dead events provided by the Tree of Whispers. Combining a Malignant Heart with the Parts in the Burrow dungeon activates the ritual in, making Varshan appear.
The Malignant Hearts in Season 2 of are not the same as the items from Season 1, which could be placed into slots to add skill modifiers to your character.
