Diablo 4 Broodguard Strategy Writeup
The Broodguard stays immobile while it does its successive sprays, so dish out some damage while it's not moving. After some sprays, it will run away and then stop and repeat the process. Strong long-ranged attacks are recommended here to avoid its bites while also avoiding its poisonous sprays and immobilizing web clusters. Eventually, it will summon four Spider Hosts to aid it. These will spawn multiple Spiders when you destroy them so if possible, keep focusing on the Broodguard while running away from them. Otherwise, attacks that will hit multiple Enemies at once are recommended, to make quick work of the spawns.
When you deplete around two segments of its health it will become more aggressive and will not run away anymore in between sprays. While this means it will be immobile for a longer time, be mindful of the poison sprays and web clusters. At around one segment of health left, it will start running away again in between sprays.
Once Broodguard has been defeated, it will drop Gold and up to 1 Rare gear item, or 1-2 Magic gear items.
Attacks & Counters
| Attack | Counter |
| Phase 1 |
|
| Mulch Attack: The Broodguard heaves forward to bite while spitting out three small yellow balls of mulch, three to four times in succession. They become a larger circular area when they hit the ground. | Dodge out of the way. |
| Web Spray: The Broodguard heaves forward and spits out several small clusters of webs that stay when they fall on the ground. Touching them will immobilize you for a few seconds. It will sometimes do this on the third or fourth heave of Mulch Spray. | Avoid the web clusters. |
| Brood Call: Broodguard Summons four Spider Hosts. | If possible, ignore them and focus on the boss. Otherwise, quickly dispatch them and the spiders that spawn after. |
| Phase 2 | |
| Mulch Spray 2: The Broodguard heaves forward to bite while spitting out five small yellow balls of mulch instead, while sometimes simultaneously using Web Spray as well. | Dodge out of the way and avoid the web clusters. |
