Problems with the Diablo 4 World Boss not showing up on the map continue to be a bug for the game. Sometimes, bringing up the world map and searching for the next upcoming event, whether it’s a legion event or a world boss, does not appear. This can happen if you switch World Tier difficulties or if you’ve been logged into the game for a long time. The lack of a pop-up notification for when a world boss is about to spawn is already a problem, so not having the world boss icon appear on the map only makes this issue worse. Here’s how to make the world boss show up on the map in Diablo 4.
How to fix Diablo 4 World Boss not showing up on the map
If the Diablo 4 world boss doesn’t appear on the map, the typical solution is to exit the game completely and restarting it.
By exiting the game completely, we mean leaving the game and then shutting down the Battle.net client on PC or resetting your Xbox or PlayStation console. Simply logging out and heading back into the game may not fix the issue. So we think that the bug may be an issue with the Diablo 4 cache.
I have had issues with the map with both world boss notifications and helltides, which highlight specific regions in red, not disappearing when they end. So I can confirm that a full reset of the game works.
Whether the world boss appears on the map or not, we recommend that you check out helltides.com, a site that has timers for helltides, legion events, and the next world boss. The timers work regardless of which time zone you are in, and the site will even reveal which world boss is about to spawn, be it Ashava, Wandering Death, or Avarice. Heading to this website will also confirm if you are indeed experienced issues with the world map.
