Diablo 4 Abbatoir of Zir: Release Date and Rewards Detailed

Those hoping for a new endgame challenge can look forward to a special dungeon event launching during Season 2: Season of Blood. This will be one of the game’s hardest challenges. Here are the details of the Abbatoir of Zir event in Diablo 4, including its start date and rewards.

When is the Diablo 4 Abbatoir of Zir Release Date?

The Abbatoir of Zir event begins on December 5 and lasts six weeks, ending on January 23, 2024. This coincides with the conclusion of Season of Blood. There are a few requirements that need to be met before you can actually head to Abbatoir of Zir, however.

How to Participate in Abbatoir of Zir Event

If you want to face the perils of Abbatoir of Zir, you’ll need to meet the following requirements:

• Be Level 100.
• Have finished all chapters of the Season Journey.
• Have defeated Uber Duriel.
• Have crafted the Bloodforged Sigil at an Occultist.
  • The Tier 1 crafting cost is 60,000 gold.
  • Tier 1 requires Sigil Powder x800.
• Have used the Sigil in Ked Bardu and entered the portal.

How the Abbatoir of Zir Works

When you get into the dungeon, you’ll only have 10 minutes to defeat as many demons as possible. Each enemy slain fills your progress bar, which allows you to summon the boss. Once the boss appears, you’ll need to defeat it within that same 10-minute limit.

You can repeat the dungeon up to 25 times, with a new Bloodforged Sigil recipe for the next level given after victory. Each attempt increases in difficulty, ending at Tier 25, which, by the sound of it, appears impossible to beat. Though I know I’m up for the challenge.

Abbatoir of Zir Rewards

Defeating the boss will reward you with a unique Paragon Board Glyph. As you continue to challenge the Abbatoir of Zir, you’ll be able to upgrade the glyph to Level 200.

• Tears of Blood
  • Radius Size: 4
    • Next Radius increase at Level 50
  • Bonus
    • For every 5 Core Stats purchased within range, you get % increased damage.
    • Grants +% bonus to all Rare nodes within range. Bonus increases by 10% every 10 levels.

As stated above, you’ll also earn the next tier of Bloodforged Sigil crafting. All rewards earned are only available during Season of Blood. I find that little bit of news rather unfortunate, but I’m betting there will be other similar events to buoy Season 3 when that drops.
