Location and Spawn Times

Ashava, the Pestilent, is a formidable World Boss in Diablo 4. It can spawn in any of the five World Boss arenas on the map during set spawn periods. However, it most commonly appears in the Fractured Peaks World Boss arena location. You'll know when a World Boss is about to appear if you've completed the campaign, as the game marks the location on the map.

World Bosses spawn approximately every six to eight hours, but there's no definite pattern to which boss will spawn. You can track the spawn times of World Bosses by checking out Diablo 4 World Boss spawn time guides.

Strategies for Defeating Ashava

Preparation

Before facing Ashava, ensure your character has high DPS (damage per second) and survivability. Consider using a build that maximizes damage output or provides crowd control abilities. Anti-poison elixirs and poison-resistant Gems will also be beneficial against Ashava's poison attacks.

Combat Tactics

Stay Mobile: Ashava is agile and can deal significant damage. Always stay on the move to avoid its attacks.

Positioning: Try to stay behind or under Ashava to avoid its frontal attacks and poison spew.

Use Evasion: Use your character's evade ability to dodge Ashava's powerful melee attacks and swipes.

Watch for Ground Pounds: Be wary of Ashava's ground pound attacks, as they can deal massive damage or knock you back.

High Damage Output: At higher World Tiers, you'll need to deal hundreds of thousands of damage per hit to defeat Ashava within the time limit.

Equipment: Equip Legendary (Ancestral at higher tiers) gear and ensure it's fully leveled for maximum effectiveness.

Team Play

If you're having difficulty defeating Ashava alone, consider teaming up with other players. Coordinate strategies and focus on dealing with damage efficiently to bring down the boss before the timer expires.

Rewards

Defeating Ashava rewards you with Weekly Bonus Spoils on your first kill each week. However, subsequent kills also yield valuable loot, including high-powered Legendaries, Aberrant Cinders, Scattered Prisms, and Diablo 4 gold. Aim to defeat Ashava regularly to maximize your rewards.
