What Is The Spawn Rate Of Butcher In Diablo 4?
The spawn rate of Butcher is very low. Players can come across Butchers once every five hundred Cellars and once every fifty Dungeons.
This means that you are more likely to meet the Butcher while farming loots in a dungeon rather than a cellar.
Furthermore, Cellars are a lot different than Dungeons.
Dungeons have multiple stages within them, while Cellars is a small arena-like instance that lasts for about ninety seconds.
