6.15 Patch Notes

[Game]

Annihilus Legacy 6.15 Changelog:


General:

• An optional "Extreme" difficulty has been added for the Malthael boss fight. This difficulty can be activated by cubing a Draconic Emblem charm with the "Black Soulstone", and then cubing the Black Soulstone as you normally would in the Nephalem Trials. Defeating Malthael in Extreme difficulty will reward you with Malthael's Soul jewel, which can be cubed with a piece of equipment obtained from Malthael to evolve it, or it can simply be used as a jewel.
