Diablo 4 Bug Where Belial Can’t Be Fought in Higher Difficulties Sorted Out in Update 1.086
[summaraize]
Following last week’s patch for Diablo 4 that buffed all classes alongside various improvements, a bug surfaced wherein gamers playing in the higher difficulties in the game are not able to fight Belial. For PS5, Xbox Series X|S players, this should show up as Diablo 4 update 1.086 (complete version 1.086.0000).
This isn’t a big patch, so expect a small download for consoles and PC. If you’re still playing Diablo 4 on last-gen platforms, this should show up as update version 1.86.
