Season 9 of Diablo 4 marks the return of Belial, the Lord of Lies, one of the most deceptive and dangerous foes in the franchise. As Mephisto vanishes into Diablo 4 Gold the shadows, Belial steps in to claim power, bringing new challenges, powerful Diablo 4 Items, and high-stakes battles for players.

This new season introduces multiple boss encounters with Belial, including Apparition, Lair, and Exalted Lair versions, each offering unique mechanics and valuable rewards like Diablo 4 Gold and legendary loot. While his full story in Diablo 4 remains under wraps, his return could significantly impact the game's evolving narrative.

Belial's Role in Diablo 4 Season 9

Belial's presence in Season 9 isn't just as a single boss fight. Instead, players will encounter him in three different forms, each increasing in difficulty and rewards:

1. Apparition Boss

    Appears randomly in the open world after players quickly defeat a lesser Apparition Boss.

    Defeating this form doubles loot drops, making it a lucrative fight.

2. Lair Boss (Torment Difficulty)

    Found in his Lair on Torment difficulty, where he showcases more advanced abilities.

    Drops the Crystal Decoy Boss Power, which can enhance specific builds.

3. Exalted Lair Boss

    The strongest version of Belial, appearing as an Exalted Lair Boss.

    Grants the powerful Eye Beams Power upon defeat.

There is speculation that Belial may also appear as a story boss when Season 9 fully launches, similar to Diablo IV Items past antagonists like Lilith, Mephisto, and Lord Zir. However, this remains unconfirmed until the official release in early May 2025.
