Many Diablo 4 players are asking Blizzard to remove summoning materials because grinding them is so tedious at the moment. After unlocking World Tier 3 and 4 in the game, Diablo 4 players will collect items, including Shards of Agony, Mucus-Slick Eggs, and Living Steel, to summon endgame bosses that offer a real combat challenge.

Among all endgame bosses, Echo of Duriel is by far the strongest due to its incredible poison damage. Therefore, players need to get extra poison
