[quote="barriger"]The Bloodied Altar is one of Diablo 4’s most intense end-game challenges, serving as the ritual site where players use [url=https://www.u4gm.com/d4-items]Exquisite Blood[/url] to summon Lord Zir. While gathering the resource itself requires patience and efficient farming, the real test begins when you step up to the altar and commit to the encounter. Surviving the ritual and ultimately defeating Zir demands preparation, awareness, and strong decision-making. Understanding how to properly use the Exquisite Blood you’ve collected ensures that every summon counts and that you walk away with the powerful rewards this boss has to offer. Before interacting with the altar, the most important step is preparing your build. Because Exquisite Blood is rare, entering the fight under-geared can be a costly mistake. Make sure your weapons are upgraded, your armor rolls support your class’s core strengths, and your Paragon board is optimized for survivability and burst damage. The Lord Zir encounter demands a strong balance between offense and defense: you need enough damage to handle his phases efficiently but enough resilience to survive his rapid attacks and minion pressure. Once the ritual begins and Zir appears, positioning becomes critical. The Bloodied Altar arena is intentionally small, creating a confined space where enemies can quickly overwhelm players who stand still for too long. Constant movement helps avoid Zir’s lunges, projectiles, and sweeping melee strikes. Mobility skills such as dashes, teleports, or leaps can be the difference between maintaining control and getting cornered. Staying near the center of the arena gives you the most room to maneuver, reducing the risk of being trapped against the walls. During the encounter, Zir frequently summons waves of blood-themed minions. Many players make the mistake of focusing only on the boss, but ignoring adds usually results in getting overwhelmed. Clearing minions quickly not only opens breathing room but also prevents them from interrupting your abilities or boxing you in. Builds with even modest AoE capabilities fare much better, as dealing with adds efficiently keeps the fight manageable. Defensive cooldowns should be used strategically rather than reactively. Zir’s most dangerous abilities are telegraphed, giving you the chance to time barriers, damage reduction skills, or healing abilities for maximum effect. Anticipating his bursts rather than scrambling after taking damage helps maintain stability throughout the fight. If your class has access to fortify, damage mitigation auras, or self-healing enhancements, make sure they are active for as much of the encounter as possible. Consumables also play a bigger role than many players realize. Bringing a well-chosen elixir, whether for increased damage or extra resistances, gives you a noticeable advantage in the fight. Refreshing your incense buffs before starting the ritual adds an additional boost that further stabilizes the run. Small details like these can dramatically shift the odds in your favor. Don’t be afraid to attempt the fight in a group if you’re struggling solo. Cooperative play spreads out enemy pressure and allows teammates to help deal with adds while others focus on Zir. Exquisite Blood may be rare, but the rewards for using it at the Bloodied Altar are well worth the effort especially when victory comes from a well-executed strategy.[/quote]
