Thresh Socket

Thresh Socket is a super unique Blood Bringer, found at the very end of the Arreat Plateau, guarding the entrance to the Crystalline Passage. He is not connected to any quests, and it need not be killed to advance through the game.

Prior to v1.09, Thresh was randomly spawned somewhere in the Frigid Highlands. During the v1.09 patch, Thresh was a valuable item run, since it spawned with a Demon Imp on his back. Both the Siege Beast and the Imp dropped like a boss, and the Imp could be horked further for a potential triple drop for a Barbarian. Since v1.10 Thresh spawns without a Demon Imp, and only drops once even if an Imp happens to leap upon him.

 * Cursed

Trivia

 * While Blood Bringers spawn with Demon Gremlins, Thresh Socket has Demon Imps instead. It's because he actually is set to have no minions and these imps are just placed near him on the map.

Development

 * Thresh Socket has an unused bloody-red color palette due to Siege Beast monsters lack of palshift.dat file and randtransform.dat file error in D2Client.dll
 * Thresh Socket was originally (v1.07) found where the Sharptooth Slayer is found in later patches.
