Diablo 4 Wandering Death – How to Beat and Location

The Wandering Death is one of three World Bosses in Diablo 4, and as one of the massive fights in the game, there are plenty of mechanics to deal with. It also doesn’t help that finding the exact World Boss you want is confusing. But my guide is here to explain exactly how to defeat Death Given Life and where to find the boss in Diablo 4.

How to Beat the Wandering Death World Boss in Diablo 4

Compared to the other bosses, the Wandering Death is the easiest one to deal with. The easiest way to beat Wandering Death is by sticking close and watching for the beams that appear from its sides. They are hard to miss with their bright green that covers a line across the entire arena.

For most of the fight, the boss will just use sweeping melee attacks and ranged spirits to deal minimal damage to players in the arena. After about 30 seconds, the Wandering Death will charge up and summon the two massive spirit beams from both sides of its body. Simply rotate with the boss and avoid the sides after the charge-up. There are some small hurricanes that can make dodging tough, but staying close will help in Diablo 4.

When you stick too close to the boss for long periods of time, it will eventually cause a small spirit explosion. I tend to just take the hit on these because they aren’t dangerous enough. What you really need to watch out for are the small spirit earthquakes that appear about halfway through the fight. But you can see where these will spawn on the ground, so dance around them.

Toward the end of the fight, the intensity of all the Wandering Death attacks will pick up. The Spirit beams will split into three and the earthquakes will get larger. Just keep dancing around the boss and take advantage of the easy stagger rates with plenty of damage.

Where to Find the Wandering Death in Diablo 4

I found the Wandering Death World Boss for the first time in the Seared Basin of Kehjistan. However, World Boss spawns are entirely random and can occur in one of five arenas around Sanctuary. Which boss will spawn at which location is entirely random.

What is certain in Diablo 4 is that bosses will spawn every six hours or four times per day. To keep track, check out my guide on all the World Boss locations in the game so you know exactly where to look when the time comes. Before you know it, the Wandering Death will appear.
