Let’s bring this demon’s trail of suffering to a well-deserved end. Here is how to beat the Scourge of the Land boss in Diablo 4.

Where to find the Scourge of the Land Boss in Diablo 4

Before we venture to this infernal encounter, the Source of the Land boss appears on several Dungeons across the map. As you might expect due to its “boss” label, they will spawn as the very last encounter in the following dungeons:

Dungeon Location Completion Reward
Betrayer’s Row Accursed Wastes, Dry Steppes Aspect of Potent Blood (Necromancer)
Endless Gates Umir Plateau, Hawezar Aspect of the Rampaging Werebeast (Druid)
Grinning Labyrinth Khargai Crags, Dry Steppes Aspect of the Calm Breeze (Druid)
Inferno Amber Sands, Kehjistan Vengeful Aspect (Rogue)
Path of the Blind Khargai Crags, Dry Steps Aspect of Bursting Bones (Necromancer)
Prison of Caldeum Caldeum, Kehjistan Opportunist’s Aspect (Rogue)

As you can see, several dungeons feature the Scourge of the Land Boss. Unfortunately for the Sorcerers and Barbarians, none of these dungeons will unlock any of their class-specific aspects. That means that I’m doing this for this article’s sake. And I’m ok with it.

Diablo 4: How to beat the Scourge of the Land Boss

Once you reach the final encounter, the Scourge of the Land will begin attacking you. He has a basic attack where he will use his weapon to strike you while also a heavy/special one that will leave an infernal fire on the ground. It is a bit slow, so landing hits between his attacks – especially during his particularly long heavy attack animation – will be the way to go. In my case, I used my HoTA Barbarian build and I decimated it, so I doubt you will have much trouble. Ranged attacks can also be a great option and, if you are using a Necromancer, distracting it with your undead minions while you deal ranged damage will also get rid of the Scourge of the Land in no time.

There are many approaches you can take due to how easy it will be to time your attacks in between the Scourge of the Land’s swings. Just be mindful of your health if you have a build that lacks survivability and use the dodge button often for any openings.

Since you’re taking down a Diablo 4 boss, it might be good to know the loot you can get from every boss in Diablo 4.
