Diablo 4 Abattoir of Zir release date and event details

Diablo 4 developers at Blizzard Entertainment have released information on the upcoming Abattoir of Zir endgame dungeon. The Abattoir of Zir was teased during the 2023 BlizzCon and has been well underway for a while now.

Now we have some hints about what to expect for this new dungeon that we will see next week.

Diablo 4: Abattoir of Zir release date

Blizzard Entertainment has announced that the Abattoir of Zir will be available in Diablo 4 on December 5 along with Patch 1.2.3 and will conclude when the Season of Blood ends on Jan. 23, 2024. That gives players around six weeks to enjoy the new dungeon.

The Abattoir of Zir dungeon details and more was said at Blizzard Entertainment’s Campfire Chat so watch the video below to understand all that was said.

Just like many Diablo 4 events, you must meet the event’s prerequisites. Read on to learn about the prerequisites for the Abattoir of Zir in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4: Abattoir of Zir event prerequisites

To participate in the Abattoir of Zir event in Diablo 4, players must complete all seven chapters of the Season Journey in the Season of Blood. If you haven’t done so already, you don’t need to complete each chapter’s objectives to progress to the next one.

You simply need to complete enough of a chapter’s objectives to unlock the next chapter and then repeat the process until you’ve completed all of them.

As this is the peak of endgame content and an intense event, you should also get your character to level 100 and equip it with the best gear and aspects because the event will be challenging. This may not be an official prerequisite, but it’s something to keep in mind because the event will test your limits and isn’t for the faint of heart.

Diablo 4: Abattoir of Zir event location

The Abattoir of Zir is located in the Seasonal Realm, Ked Bardu, in the Dry Steppes. The devs haven’t revealed its exact location, but they did share an image of what the entrance will look like. We will update this as soon as we can get a mapped location.

Diablo 4: Abattoir of Zir: How the event works

Before entering the Abattoir of Zir, you must craft the first tier of the new Bloodforged Sigils. You can get the recipe at the Occultist once you’ve completed the Season Journey for the Season of Blood. You must unlock 25 tiers of this sigil, which correspond with the tiers in the event.

The Abattoir of Zir event will feature 25 tiers, and players have ten minutes to kill all the enemies and fill the progress bar to spawn a random boss. Once you’ve slain the boss, you will unlock the recipe for the next tier’s sigil, which you must craft to enter the next tier.

This may sound easy enough. However, the difficulty will increase as you advance through the tiers. So, you do need to be prepared for that.

Diablo 4: Abattoir of Zir event rewards

The tiers may be soulbreakingly tricky to complete. However, your hard work will pay off with the rewards you can get, which include equipment, weapons, gold, and crafting materials.

And you can get the new and powerful Paragon Glyph, Tears of Blood after you’ve completed your first Abattoir of Zir, which will skyrocket your damage and is a must-have for any build because it can be upgraded to level 200.

The Abattoir of Zir will not be a cakewalk and will require a solid effort. But the unique glyph and the intense challenge will be an intriguing test of our mettle.
