What to Expect in Abattoir of Zir Diablo 4?

Developers have announced a breakdown of the dungeon event. This will be a timed event where players can enter the event dungeon to clear as many demons and fill up the progress bar. Complete the progress bar to spawn the Elites and clear the boss-like enemies before the 10-minute timer runs out. 

This means that the faster you kill the waves of enemies, the less time you will need to fill up the bar. Once the bar is full, elite enemies called Bloodseekers will spawn inside the dungeon and you will need to defeat them. These elites are stronger and possess more abilities than normal Nightmare Dungeon elites. These Bloodseekers are the corrupt version of the Wanderer or any of the 5 available classes in Diablo 4.

Being a Nightmare Dungeon, the Abattoir of Zir is unforgiving. When you die, you will lose all progress. If you are in a party and one of your teammates dies, the dungeon automatically ends, making you lose all progress. Note that enemies throughout the dungeon do not drop items until you complete the whole dungeon.

Preparing for Abattoir of Zir Diablo 4?

• Take note of the time in the Abattoir of Zir. The biggest factor that will affect the outcome of the Nightmare Dungeon is how fast you clear out the mobs. Keeping an ideal pace will take about 3-4 skills in rotation that will leave you enough time to go through the entire dungeon while keeping enough to fight the bosses. Yes, the boss is also included on the timer to beat Abattoir of Zir.
• Make sure to apply all buffs before you enter the Abattoir of Zir. When you enter the dungeon, the timer will start right away. This means that if you happen to forget to apply your buffs, this will take away precious seconds from you. It's always good practice to prepare your character or party right before you enter the dungeon. This also means stacking up on Elixirs.
• It is okay to repeat a tier. If you feel like your build barely made it out of the last run, or you know that your current build needs more upgrades before you can take on a higher-level run, it is okay to repeat the same Nightmare Dungeon tier. Doing this will help your character earn experience points that you can use and earn loots that can improve your current build. Items don't drop unless you complete the dungeon. Dying only means that you'll lose any progress so it's better to repeat a run than die trying a higher tier.
