Diablo Clone
Diablo Clone (also called DClone) is a special World Event boss that can spawn in any Hell difficulty game. He replaces the first Super Unique monster you encounter after the spawn is triggered. Defeating him is the only way to obtain the Annihilus — one of the most powerful charms in the game.
Diablo Clone spawns when enough copies of The Stone of Jordan are sold to any vendor. When a ring is sold, the message "An item has been sacrificed to the Lord of Terror" appears. Once the threshold is reached, "Diablo has invaded Sanctuary!" announces his arrival.
Between 75 and 125 Stone of Jordan rings must be sold across the entire server (Europe, Americas, or Asia). Any difficulty or mode counts. The counter resets after each spawn. Use the /uberdiablo command to check progress.
Only 1 Stone of Jordan needs to be sold. Sell it in Hell difficulty when you are ready to fight — the ring cannot be repurchased.
Diablo Clone replaces the first Super Unique monster you encounter after the event triggers. This means you choose where to fight him by picking which Super Unique to visit first. Popular choices:
- Eldritch the Rectifier (Frigid Highlands) — steps from the waypoint, open terrain, easy to reach.
- Rakanishu (Stony Field) — early Act 1, minimal surrounding enemies.
- Corpsefire (Den of Evil) — enclosed space with few other monsters.
Clear the area of other monsters before the spawn triggers, then approach the Super Unique to transform it into Diablo Clone.
Diablo Clone has massive HP, 95% resistance to all elements, and regenerates health rapidly. Standard farming builds cannot kill him without specific preparation.
- Prevent Monster Heal is critical — without it, his regeneration outheals most damage. Shop a weapon with this stat from any weapon vendor ("of Vileness" suffix). Mercenaries cannot apply this effect.
- Alternatively, continuous damage sources like Fire Wall or Poison Damage suppress regeneration while the damage ticks.
- Lower Resist curse reduces his 95% elemental resistances for caster builds.
- Life Tap curse sustains melee builds by healing 50% of physical damage dealt.
- Cap Fire and Lightning Resistance — his attacks deal heavy damage in both elements.
- Smite Paladins and Kicksin Assassins with Crushing Blow gear are the most reliable killers.
Diablo Clone always drops the Annihilus — a unique Small Charm with +1 to All Skills, +10-20 to All Attributes, +10-20 to All Resistances, and +5-10% to Experience Gained. Only one can be held per character.
