Varshan is one of the first Seasonal Bosses introduced to Diablo 4, originally appearing during the Season of the Malignant as the main boss of that storyline.
Today, he remains an important part of the endgame and is often one of the first Lair Bosses that players challenge when beginning their boss farming journey.
Defeating Varshan provides valuable rewards and helps players progress toward more difficult encounters later in the Lair Boss ladder.
Varshan Location (Malignant Burrow)
Varshan can be summoned inside the Root of Malignance, which is found at the end of the Malignant Burrow (Lair) near the Tree of Whispers.
The Tree of Whispers already has a waypoint and is the closest location to the Malignant Burrow since the entrance is located right next to the tree.
You can fast-travel to the Malignant Burrow by selecting it on your map.
Summoning and Defeating Varshan
Varshan can be challenged in the Root of Malignance, which is located at the end of the Malignant Burrow in Hawezar.
During the fight, Varshan will attack with tentacle slams, corruption projectiles, and area attacks that are marked before they hit, giving you enough time to move out of danger.
He may also summon enemies throughout the encounter, which should be dealt with quickly so they do not overwhelm you while fighting the boss.
Constant movement is important during this fight since many of Varshan’s attacks can deal heavy damage if you remain in one place for too long.
Keep avoiding his attacks while dealing consistent damage and the encounter should be over quickly once you learn his attack patterns.
How To Open Varshan’s Hoard Chest?
Varshan’s Hoard chest will appear inside of the Root of Malignance once he has been defeated and this may be opened using a Lair Key.
Initiate Lair Bosses such as Varshan will require only one Lair Key per Hoard that will be opened and once opened, opening another one will require that you summon this boss to fight again.

Verdict
Varshan can be challenged as soon as you reach Torment I and his rewards may be claimed once you have one or more Lair Keys.
When facing Varshan, it is important to avoid his attacks as they can deal a lot of damage if you have just reached Torment I and you should kill his minions as soon as possible to prevent him from healing.
The higher the difficulty you are on, the better the rewards will be but this also means that Varshan will be more difficult to defeat.
