Drowned Witch boss in Diablo 4

Boss of the undead Drowned

Blizzard has only given a short glimpse of the Drowned Witch boss, but we know her full name is: Merinth of the Deep, Drowned Witch. She spawns in Drowning Caverns: Merinth's Maw, in the Scosglen region, most likely by the coast, which is where the Drowned monster family is found. Her appearance is bluish-gray, and she's much larger than the player character model. In addition, she wields a large, spiked club made of what looks to be sea urchins.

Geysers, water crystals, & waves

The Drowned Witch has a few special attacks [1] at her disposal, including hitting the player with geysers and waves, and having her Drowned Wretches lob hard-hitting water crystals at you:

"The Sea Witch has a wave attack and geysers that come out. Even the little Drowned Wretches will lob water crystals at you."
