Diablo 4 1.4.3 Hotfix 1 patch notes: Andariel’s Visage fix, Holy Bolt Elixirs, more

Hotfix 1 for Diablo 4 1.4.3 is live, most importantly addressing Andariel’s Visage bugs that surfaced after the mid-season update.

Blizzard deployed Diablo 4’s mid-season patch on June 17, with two changes, in particular, targeting Andariel’s Visage. While one adjustment was supposed to guarantee the poison nova spawned on enemies, the other should’ve significantly buffed the nova’s damage.

Players quickly realized that neither the animation changes nor the damage buff worked as intended. The 1.4.3 patch had essentially broken the gear item it was meant to improve.

Hotfix 1, which launched late on June 20, fixes these issues and more, like a problem that saw the previously reworked Holy Bolt Elixirs causing server crashes for some players.
