Even though the second season of Diablo 4 brought many innovations, one of the most noticeable changes, as always, are bosses, their loot, and summoning methods. Of course, many players can be content with grinding the updated Nightmare Dungeons but you’ll need Exquisite Blood if you want to explore the late game of Diablo 4. As a Season of the Blood exclusive material, it’s essential to summon Lord Zir, a great vampire and an excellent source of valuable rewards. But be prepared to spend several hours of grinding before killing the boss.
Diablo 4: Getting Exquisite Blood
First of all, it’s worth noting that you can get Exquisite Blood in Diablo 4 two ways:
- By participating in the Legion event in World Tier 4.
- Defeating World Boss in World Tier 4.
If you choose the first option and want to participate in the Legion event, keep in touch with the players and periodically check different game locations. Legion is a random event that occurs once every 30 minutes anywhere on the map. At the same time, an icon does not appear on the map, unlike other events, so you’ll need some time to search. However, as soon as you find this event, kill the Overlords to get the chance to obtain Exquisite Blood.
The second method is not very different from the previous one. You just need to find any World Boss and kill him. It will probably take some time to defeat these monsters, but you’re guaranteed to receive between 1 to 3 Exquisite Blood for your troubles.
How To Use Exquisite Blood in Diablo 4
Although you will accumulate some Exquisite Blood relatively quickly, don’t stop farming until you get at least nine. That’s because that’s how much you need to spawn Lord Zir. Next, head to the eastern border of Fractured Peaks and find the entrance to Darkened Way in the northern Gale Valley area. Continue going deeper and deeper until you reach the Ancient’s Seat dungeon.
Once inside, you must defeat several small enemies and go through several corridors until you reach the large bridge leading to The Apotheosis. Go to the altar in the center and place nine Exquisite Blood, after which the battle with Lord Zir will begin. Of course, this is a powerful boss and will require some preparation. But if you need more specific steps, we have a guide that will help you defeat Lord Zir.
Outside of using it to spawn Lord Zir, you can also sell Exquisite Blood for 30,000 coins per pop, making it one of the most valuable items in the entire game. That said, we wouldn’t recommend selling them as they’re so hard to come by.
To summarise, then, here’s what you need to know about Exquisite Blood in Diablo 4:
- You can get this material by defeating the Legion event or World Bosses in World Tier 4.
- After accumulating 9 Exquisite Blood, you can spawn Lord Zir.
Diablo 4 is available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
