Which Uber Bosses drop Mythic Uniques?

All summonable Lair Bosses have a chance at Mythic Uniques. Greater Lair Bosses (Duriel, Andariel, Butcher, Harbinger of Hatred) and Belial have the highest Mythic drop rates. Lair Bosses (Varshan, Grigoire, Lord Zir, Beast in the Ice, Urivar) drop Mythics less often.

How do I summon Duriel?

Spend 1 Greater Lair Key at the Echo of Duriel summoning altar in the Gaping Crevasse, Hawezar. Tormented Duriel additionally requires a Stygian Stone.

What's the difference between Tormented and regular bosses?

Tormented Lair Bosses require a Stygian Stone in addition to the standard summon cost, available only at Torment difficulty. They have higher HP and damage and grant 1 Resplendent Spark on kill plus increased Mythic Unique rolls.
