ManyDiablo 4players have been wondering about how to get and use the Gurgling Head item, which is a special item required for summoning a certain boss.

Diablo 4: How to get and use Gurgling Head
If you’re looking to fight the Echo of Varshan, an Uber boss, you’ll need the Gurgling Head, alongside three other Malignant Body Parts. There are a few different ways you can come across a Gurgling Head, such ascaches from Whispers of the Dead on World Tier 3/4, turning other Malignant Body Parts into it, or a drop from a Grotesque Debtor.
First off, you must be on eitherWorld Tier 3or 4to even find Malignant Body Parts. You’ll find them more often inside random caches you receive from completing Whispers of the Dead. The four parts required to summon the Echo of Varshan are theGurgling Head, Blackened Femur, Trembling Hand, and Malignant Heart.
Note: You only need the Malignant Heart if you want to summon the Echo of Varshan on World Tier 4.
You may also findGrotesque Debtorswho are rare elite enemies that can drop Malignant Body Parts upon defeat. During Season 2, you used to be able to spot them in Blood Harvests, but with that Season over, you’ll have to search throughout areas where you’re completing Grim Favors. Look out for Grotesque Debtors as you make your way throughGrim Favors for the Tree of Whispers.
