Revision as of 07:12, 28 June 2014

Rime goes enrage-mode when near death.

Rift Guardians are large Unique enemies, that appear only in Nephalem Rifts when the progress bar has reached 100%. (This requires about 500 kills.) There are a couple of dozen different Rift Guardians, all with preset names and Elite Affixes, plus some special unique boss talents.

Rift Guardians drop more items (including materials and gems) than any other single target in the game, and are the single best source for Blood Shards, dropping at least 20 on Normal difficulty and far more (80+) on the higher Torment difficulties. During the Reaper of Souls beta test Guardians dropped like any random Elite, with the main reward for clearing a rift coming in a Horadric Cache, but this drop was moved directly to the Guardian during testing.[1]

  • [[[Greater Rift Guardians]] were added to the game with Greater Rifts in Patch 2.1. These are souped-up versions of normal Rift Guardians, and behave just the same, appearing only when a Greater Rift is 100% completed and acting as the final boss of the Rift.


Rift Guardian Types and Powers

Rift Guardians are randomly-assigned to each Rift, with one picked from the possible Guardians on a large list. (With one exception; the Lord of Bells only appears after the Easter Egg Infernal Bovine cow rifts.)[2]

Rift Guardians are all "purple" Unique monsters, with special powers and abilities that are pre-set, rather than randomly-spawned as the Modifiers are on random Elites. Many Guardians have some special abilities that do not appear on other bosses, such as the full screen elemental attacks displayed by Rime and Blighter when they drop below 25% health.

Some Rift Guardians are modified quest bosses, and players will encounter Guardian versions of Zoltan Kulle, The Butcher, Maghda, Cydaea, Leoric] and several others.


Rift Guardian Index

The Rift Guardians are randomly-selected to appear at the end of the rift. They are entirely random and unweighted, with any able to appear in any type of Rift, with one exception. The Lord of Bells is the Easter Egg version of the Cow King and will only appear at the end of the ultra-rare Infernal Bovine rift.

Rift Guardians Achievement listing.

All of these Guardians (save the Lord of Bells) can appear as Greater Rift Guardians, where they may have additional abilities or other improvements.
