Diablo 4 Challenges Players To Complete A Blood-Soaked New Multi-Level Dungeon

Diablo 4 players are in for a brutal new challenge when the Abattoir of Zir dungeon throws open its doors on December 5th. The new multi-tier dungeon promises to be the most difficult, and apparently the bloodiest, encounter in Season of Blood with 25 vampire-infested levels to clear, each of which will need to be cleared in 10 minutes.

“The Abattoir will be the hardest challenge you’ve seen in Season of Blood—the viscera will rain from above as you fight as fast as possible to staunch the Zir’s legions in this pinnacle dungeon,” Blizzard teased. “You will only have 10 minutes to clear enough enemies to summon the final Bloodseekers, and slay them to emerge bloodstained and triumphant.”

To access the new dungeon, you’ll first need to complete all Season of Blood chapters. You’ll then unlock a new recipe to craft a Bloodforged Sigil which will grant you access to the first level of the Abattoir. It’s a fancy word for slaughterhouse just in case you were wondering.

Upon completing the first level, you’ll be rewarded with the unique Tears of Blood paragon glyph and the recipe for the next level’s Bloodforged Sigil. The Tears of Blood glyph will require significantly more Paragon XP to upgrade compared to typical paragon glyphs but it will undoubtedly come in handy as you make your way up the Abbatoir’s increasingly difficult levels.

“The first level in Abbatoir of Zir is similar in difficulty to a level 100 Nightmare Dungeon,” warns Blizzard. “From there, endurance and cunning must be utilized for the vampire entrails to mark the evidence of your progress. Each new tier strengthens the Monsters that await, which only increases each time you descend further into the Abattoir.”
