Season 2 of Diablo 4 and also known as the Season of Blood also featured five powerful monsters, the blood harvest event and the new vampire like skills that Blizzard added. Lord Zir is still being hit because of the usage of unconventional cosmetics and obtainable special items.
However, they can be summoned using the instructions in this article including one of the hardest endgame bosses, Lord Zir, also known as the Dark Master. In Diablo 4 there is a vampire cult lead by Lord Zir who commands a Blood seekers army.
Players must prevent that because he will never cease to continue his invasion upon the Sanctuary. That’s it from today, read on to find out how to defeat Lord Zir and what you get in return for doing so.
How to Summon Lord Zir
As many people know, Lord Zir is an endgame boss, so to defeat him must reach the world tier 4. To summon him they require Exquisite Blood, gatherable from Legion Events and World and Helltide Bosses. All these events are highlighted on the map hence easy to locate and engage in the event. Both Helltides and Legion Events are best for farming Exquisite Blood, so players should remain attentive towards them certainly.
Below is a list of some common Legion event locations:
- Self-made – Carrowcrest Ruins in Scosglen
- Cruiser’s Monument and the Norgoi vigil in Hawezar
- overrun, dilapidated aqueducts in Kehjistan
- Old Ruin in the coastal desert of Dry Steppes
- Kor Dragan in Fractured Peaksäs, Fractured Peaks dří, exploration of Fractured Peaks
Once players collect 9 Exquisite Blood, they can:
- Burning all the farmed material, Lord Zir will be summoned.
- Travel to the Darkened Way in Kyovoshad.
- Talk with the Altar which is located inside.
Note that this boss can be summoned many times, but players will need to spend the same amount of Exquisite Blood to do so each time; therefore, it makes sense to save it up for future summons.
Lord Zir Boss Guide
While Lord Zir also practices using melee weapons most of the time, and as the fight progresses, the concentration of activity in the arena increases. At first Zir will try to claw into you in an attempt to defeat you.
Despite the fact that Zir’s usual slash can hardly be powerful, you should not use it if you observe him make a blood-filled fist to make his shots stronger. This is an STA debuff on Tormented difficulty while the blood slash attack hits the target and raises all incoming damage greatly.
Employing the same mechanic as most bosses, the arena will generate a blood orb for each boss’s HP reduced by 5%. These spheres emit waves of blood on a normal basis and operates such as independent turrets. These waves offer another mechanic where the waves themselves are something you in fact need to dodge as their damage may not deal a lot of damage on their own.
Zir will also begin to create blood puddles throughout the entire playing field. The levels depicted below should be avoided at all costs since they reduce the speed of your character significantly.
Lord Zir will start applying multi-target Area of Effect (AoE) hits after reaching around 50% of HP left, which will really disrupt the visibility in the match.
He will cast an AoE oriented in the rectangle and causes much damage; you should avoid it by moving in relation to the boss. Every blood pool on the ground will spawn objects that will pursue and shoot at players, dealing Vulnerable damage if they hit and if Lord Zir starts pulsating with blood.
You will find that as things get more manic, make sure to repeatedly attack and stun Lord Zir before many projectiles begin to fly. The last part of the game, the final 20%.% Two blood orbs and puddle on the floor are the most challenging to fight. If you are finding it hard to defeat Zir, it is highly recommended that you boost your character’s damage to increase your chances of winning that fight.
