Diablo 4's first-world boss, Ashava, is among the main challenges available throughout the upcoming server slam buy Diablo 4 gold beta in May. And unlike Outdoors beta weekend in March, there'll be one more incentive for killing the large nasty: a cosmetic Diablo 4 beta reward that will help you boast when the full game launches in June.

Unlike dungeons and quests, world bosses watch for no slayer. Unlike the very first betas when Ashava only arrived a number of times, the server slam weekend may have her arriving much more often. Here's exactly when you will want to be online to battle the giant plague creature.

Ashava spawn times for server slam Diablo 4 beta

In March's beta weekends, Ashava would be a little harder to find, only spawning 4 times in total. In the May server slam, however, she'll be considered a little simpler to face: she'll spawn every three hours after her initial spawn on Saturday at 9 am PDT, ending up having a final spawn on Sunday at 9 am PDT for any total of 9 spawns. Hopefully, what this means is you'll have lots of chances to earn your Cry of Ashava mount trophy.

Where to locate Ashava in Diablo 4

Ashava spawns in The Crucible, the industry's small level 25+ portion of the Fractured Peaks on its eastern edge. You'll get an on-screen popup half an hour before Ashava spawns so you have time for you to head to the right area.

Like an MMO, world bosses allow for a lot of players within the same area to convene and fight together. You'll have fifteen minutes on the clock to consider Ashava down and finish the world event. Ashava is really a "whirlwind of pestilence" and it is capable of coating the floor in poison. Be ready to cope with lots of AOE attacks. Her big forearm blades are rather strong too, which she uses to swipe a complete circle around herself. There is really a way to weaken Ashava, Blizzard has hinted.

If you'll need a real one-on-one challenge though, don't lose out hunting down the Diablo 4 buy gold Den Mother within the Light's Watch dungeon.
