Fear the resurrected demon Astaroth
Near the end of the Act II story quests, you will find yourself looking to cleanse the town of Cerrigar of evil. In doing so you will come face to face with one of your most challenging foes yet: Astaroth. As part of the quest As the World Burns you will reach Cerrigar only to find Astaroth mounted on the back of a three-headed fiery beast. This is how to defeat Astaroth inDiablo 4.
How to defeat Astaroth inDiablo 4
This boss can be tough, especially if you are on a higherWorld Tier. You will fight Astaroth across three phases, with his attacks getting faster and more frequent with each phase. Once you have depleted 1/3 of his health, he jumps into another part of Cerrigar and the next phase of the fight begins. This will happen twice throughout the entire fight, so feel free to heal up and wait for cooldowns to refresh before following Astaroth after each phase.
Throughout the fight, Astaroth will use the following abilities:
By the time you reach this boss you should have at least a point invested into a mobility skill. Astaroth is really all about positioning for is Meteor Shower. It would be wise to make sure either your class mobility skill or your evade ability is off cooldown. That way you may properly maneuver around his Meteor Shower every time.
Once you have defeated Astaroth you can speak with Doran to complete the story quest and finish Act II.
Diablo 4Defeat Astaroth Bug
At this moment there is a bug in which even after defeating Astaroth, the fight will not end and the quest will not complete. Even though the boss will lay in front of you defeated, your quest will still say you mustDefeat Astaroth.
Unfortunately, the onlyfix for this bugat the moment is to log out, log back in, and attempt the fight again. You will know if it worked properly when Doran runs over to you and allows you to talk to him to finish the quest. Blizzard appears to be aware of this bug and claims a hotfix is coming soon.
