Most Diablo 4 Players Have Never Seen this ‘1-in-a-Million’ Enemy

Diablo 4 has been a story of series firsts since the game was released back in 2023, featuring several major landmarks, such as the first fully open world Diablo game and the first time the Spiritborn class has made an appearance. While Diablo 4 has been somewhat stagnant since the Vessel of Hatred expansion was released, the game continues to feature some historic series firsts. One such achievement came during last season’s March of the Goblins event, which introduced six types of Treasure Goblins to the game, including one that is the rarest in the entire series.

Treasure Goblins have always been elusive, sought-after enemies since their franchise debut in Diablo 3. Chasing down and defeating these rare critters can be a challenge in itself, since Treasure Goblins tend to sprint away from the player on sight, often through hordes of other enemies. However, the rewards for successfully catching these goblins are usually worth the effort, but even having the chance to encounter some of the rarest goblins Diablo 4 has to offer is something not even the most dedicated players will ever see.

Diablo 4’s Expansion Delay Was a Double-Edged Sword, But It May Fall Right Side Up

Although Diablo 4 isn’t getting a second paid expansion until 2026, that may be beneficial for the game in the long run.

Diablo 4 Has One Treasure Goblin That Players Are Unlikely to Ever Encounter

Diablo 4’s Goblin Variants Are Hard to Come By

Odious Ector (Green) – Drops crafting materials
Gilded Baron (Yellow) – Drops large sums of Gold
Glittering Prym (Diamond) – Drops Gem Fragments, Runes, and Undercity Tributes
Curious Murl (Purple) – Drops Murl’s Bag of Obols
Gelatinous Syrus (Blue) – Splits into multiple goblins when killed. Drops Legendary gear, Gold, Boss Summoning materials, and Elixirs
Fancy Old Fedric (Mythic Purple) – Drops a Mythic Unique and a Resplendent Spark

These goblins made their debut during the March of the Goblins event back during Diablo 4‘s Season of Witchcraft. While their spawns were increased during the event, they are now permanent additions to the game. Prior to this update, Treasure Goblins would drop a mix of Legendary and Rare gear along with various amounts of Gold, materials, and Elixirs. However, now players can tell what type of goblin they’ve spotted by its color before engaging in a chase to claim its loot before it vanishes.

Dividing Treasure Goblins into these different categories is new to Diablo 4, but existed previously in Diablo 3 as well. Many of the six different Treasure Goblin types in Diablo 4 have a counterpart in Diablo 3, with the major exception of Fancy Old Fedric, since Mythic Uniques are a new addition to Diablo 4. All of these Treasure Goblins are rare encounters that Diablo 4 players will have a hard time finding outside of an event like March of the Goblins, but even with increased spawns, it’s unlikely players will ever see Fancy Old Fedric.

Diablo 4’s Fancy Old Fedric May Be One of the Rarest Video Game Enemies Ever

When these new goblin types debuted in Diablo 4, Blizzard touted Fancy Old Fedric as having a “one in a million” chance of appearing, making the enemy even rarer than Diablo 4‘s rarest Mythic Uniques. While players can reliably farm for specific Diablo 4 Mythics, there is no way to guarantee Treasure Goblin spawns, making them much harder to hunt for.

It can be hard to tell the difference between Fancy Old Fedric and Curious Murl since both are shades of purple. However, it’s more likely that players have seen Murl than Fedric if they have seen a purple Treasure Goblin.

In the months since their debut, most Diablo 4 fans have still never seen Fancy Old Fedric spawn in their game. In contrast, the first Mythic Uniques in Diablo 4 started popping up within a month of the game’s launch. While there may be the odd confirmed sighting of Fancy Old Fedric in Diablo 4 floating around the internet, most players shouldn’t hold their breath waiting to find what may be one of—if not the—rarest enemies in all of gaming.
