As you embark on your Diablo 4 journey, prepare to face one of the game's most chilling adversaries: the Beast in the Ice, also known as the Glacial Fissure boss. Found in the lair to the south of Kashad, this level 85 terror provides an engaging challenge and rewarding loot for those who dare to confront him.
Requirements and Preparation:
Location: The Glacial Fissure boss can be found in a lair located to the south of Kashad.
World Tier: Players can only challenge this boss in World Tier 4. World Tier 3 battles are not available for this boss.
Access: Within the dungeon, there's a door barring your path to the boss. To gain entry, you'll need a special item.
The Key – Distilled Fear: This essential item is required to challenge the Glacial Fissure boss. Distilled Fear is used by the occultist to craft a 'Nightmare Sigil', which grants entry to the Glacial Fissure's lair. To acquire Distilled Fear:
It can be found by completing nightmare dungeons of Tier 30 and above.
Players need a total of nine Distilled Fears.
Crafting the Entry Sigil:
Visit the occultist and navigate to the crafting section.
Under the 'Craft Sigils' option, select 'Ancestral' (not 'Sacred').
Find and select the 'Glacial Fissure Tier 31' option.
Crafting requires 250 sigil powder and nine Distilled Fears. Once crafted, the 'Glacial Fissure Nightmare Sigil' is ready for use.
Initiating the Battle:
Right-click on the crafted Nightmare Sigil to activate the Nightmare Dungeon.
A team vote will begin. Once the team is ready, the Glacial Fissure dungeon becomes accessible.
There's no need for teleportation; players can use a portal to view the location.
Battle Insights and Strategy:
As you delve deeper into the dungeon, prepare to face a slew of fanatics and challenges.
The dungeon layout might remind seasoned players of the cave on Fra Peaks' right side.
When confronting the Beast in the Ice, observe and adapt to its mechanics. The Beast, despite being reminiscent of the Scourge of the Land in design, has unique tactics that can surprise unprepared players.
Several mechanics to watch out for include ice-based attacks, slows, and freezing effects. Proper positioning and quick reflexes can help in evading these.
The Beast's difficulty is on par with Gor, making it relatively straightforward for experienced players. Its mechanics are more forgiving than those of Lord Zur or Baron.
Rewards and Aftermath:
Defeating the Beast in the Ice yields impressive loot, including high item power gear ranging from 900 to 923.
The fight also grants experience, helping players level up their gems and glyphs.
Players seeking high-quality gear might find it worthwhile to repeatedly challenge the Beast for its lucrative drops.
Conclusion:
While the Beast in the Ice offers a less complex challenge compared to some other bosses in Diablo 4, the rewards are undeniably enticing. By understanding its mechanics and preparing adequately, players can efficiently farm this boss for exceptional gear. Dive into the chilling depths, confront the icy terror, and emerge triumphant.
