Lore
Hillock is the name of the first boss of the entire game, located in The Twilight Strand (Act 1). It is suggested by the in-game dialogues that the Mastermind resurrected his corpse.
Before Hillock was killed by the player character in Act 1, he was a "mindless" zombie already, so apparently after the Mastermind resurrected Hillock, still affects his ability to think.
Before the open beta, the game developer released a lore on their website regarding Hillock, which mentioned he was a blacksmith.[1] Despite the lore is not certain to be still canon and the webpage is not accessible any more, a map boss based on Hillock, The Blacksmith, is named after the occupation. As a resurrected Betrayal enemy, he is known as "Hillock, the Blacksmith".
Dialogue
You're not meant to see this! I'll KILL YOU TO DEATH!
- - Hillock
Want a friend, I do. Sit in my room, bashing my hammer, talking to myself... gettin' ANGRY... with a friend maybe I wouldn't hurt people no more. Will you help me find a friend?
- - Hillock
- - Hillock
Maybe this will make the bad thoughts go...
- - Hillock (after the player let Hillock escape)
No......don't want to die... again.
- - Hillock
You surprise me, Hillock.
- - Jun

Changes
|
3.24.0 |
- Hillock's Transportation Safehouse reward is now a chest of Essence Scarabs. This does not apply to Ruthless.
- Hillock's Research Safehouse reward is now a stash of Anarchy Scarabs. This does not apply to Ruthless.
- Hillock's Fortification Safehouse reward is now a trapped stash of Scarabs.
|
3.22.0 |
- Stun Immunity has been removed from many Bosses in Path of Exile. This includes but is not limited to Atziri, Argus, The Vaal Omnitect and Betrayal Targets. Some Bosses now have specific skills that cannot be stunned, or cannot be interrupted. Kitava is still unable to be stunned.
|
3.20.0 |
- Pinnacle bosses, Map bosses, Incursion architects, Betrayal targets, Breachlords and others no longer have 33% or 66% less effect of curses on them respectively.
|
3.14.0 |
- Modifiers that are unveiled through Jun are now more powerful than before. Previously, when an item was unveiled, the veiled modifier added to the item would be equal to the highest tier modifier available on the Crafting Bench. Now, the modifier being unveiled no longer counts as a crafted modifier and will be stronger than any craftable veiled modifier.
|
3.9.0 |
- Monster resistances throughout the game have been reviewed and made more consistent. In many cases this has resulted in more resistances on monsters.
|
3.6.0 |
- Bosses which previously had 60% or 80% less effect of curses on them now have 33% or 66% less effect of curses on them respectively. This includes map bosses, Incursion architects, Betrayal targets, Breachlords, Shaper, Elder and others.
- In 3.6.0, Jun is introduced in Highgate in Act 9.[2] Thus, Tora now can be encountered from Act 9 onwards only.
- Several veiled modifiers now have fewer tiers. Low tiers contribute more towards unlocking higher tiers, however it will, on average, take more unveils to unlock the highest tier.
