Boost NPC and Supreme Belial Coming Tomorrow on the Season 8 PTR

Diablo IV’s next season is right around the corner, and with the PTR for Season 8 now live, Blizzard decided to disable the Boost NPC in these first two days.

New Leveling Journey Testing Needed

The reason for disabling the NPC is the new revamped leveling journey, which should result in an overall smoother leveling experience. The goal is to keep us players more outside of the town, without needing to upgrade items too often during the early game and also increase the value of activities and seasonal rewards. Blizzard wanted players to test that part of the game, and as you can imagine an NPC that instant-levels you doesn’t quite fit well with that.

On Thursday, March 13th, the NPC Mrak, will be enabled again and will offer a variety of things to help you out on the PTR. When he is enabled the pinnacle Belial fight, called Supreme Belial, will also be eneabled.

Just so everyone is aware – The larger big Belial fight will be available when players get access to Mrak (our dancing friend) in a few days.
