How to defeat Avarice in Diablo 4?

Avarice is a brute and he has hard-hitting attacks that will one-shot you if you are not careful. Here is the list of attacks that you need to worry about while fighting Avarice in Diablo 4:

  • Ground Swipe: Avarice will often swipe his weapons on the ground which you need to dodge as much as possible.
  • Teleport: Avarice will occasionally open a portal, enter it, and then reappear immediately from a different direction. Make sure to keep an eye out for it as if you get hit while he is reappearing, you will take a lot of damage.
  • Gold Splatter: Avarice will vomit Gold on the ground and raise Gold Pillars all over the ground. This is often followed by a shockwave that shatters those pillars. Anyone getting hit by that shattering will get one shot.

Apart from these attacks, it is important to remember that Avarice will get aggressive once his health drops below 50%. Therefore, the intensity of the aforementioned attacks will be enhanced which in turn will make him even more dangerous.

However, bring your best gear and always try to heal yourself to full as much as possible. Other than that, the fastest route to take down this demon is dealing as much damage as possible whenever you get an opening.
