How to Beat Avarice

Avarice Tips and Strategies
Optimize Your Build and Gear Party Up With Other Players Use Crowd Control Avoid the Pillars Revive Yourself Immediately Lower World Tier Difficulty

Optimize Your Build and Gear

It is recommended to have optimized gear and builds for your respective class. If you are missing key pieces like Aspects from the Codex of Power, you can try farming for legendary items and gambling with the Purveyor of Curiosities.

Best Builds for PvE and PvP

Party Up With Other Players

World Bosses are extremely difficult to take on alone. It is highly recommended to team up with other players because there is a 15-minute time limit for these encounters. You will need all the extra firepower and crowd control you can get from other players in order to succeed.

What Is the Maximum Party Size?

Use Crowd Control

World Bosses have a Stagger Bar below their Health Bar. Filling up the Stagger Bar by using crowd control Skills will open up a window for your party to deal as much damage as possible.

When Avarice is staggered, two Treasure Goblins will spawn. If your group has no shortage of DPS, feel free to take them down for the rewards. Otherwise, it is best to solely focus on Avarice.

All Crowd Control Effects

Crowd Control is a generic term for debilitating effects which limit or stop enemy movement. The table below lists all effects in the game that contribute to Crowd Control.

Avoid the Pillars

Over the course of the fight, pillars will pop up from the ground that will obstruct your movement and attacks. Some of Avarice's attacks will cause these to explode so it is best to stay away from them altogether.

Revive Yourself Immediately

Waiting for allies to revive you will use up time that could be better used to deal damage instead. It also puts them in a dangerous position and puts them at risk of taking a lethal attack from Avarice. Take the 10% loss in equipment durability and return to the fray immediately!

Lower World Tier Difficulty

As a last resort, you can always try to lower the World Tier. You may get an upgrade that can help you beat Avarice at a higher World Tier.

How to Change World Tier

Avarice Attack Patterns

Minor Attacks

Vomit Gold

Avarice regurgitates liquid gold that persists for a duration. Players standing on it will take damage. This move is easily avoided as long as you are careful of your positioning.

Hammer Swipe

Avarice quickly swings its hammer in an arc. Stay at its left side to have ample time to react and dodge.

Dangerous Attacks

Chest Slam

Avarice slams its treasure chest and sends out a big shockwave. It is not dangerous by itself, but the shockwave causes all surrounding pillars to detonate and deal massive damage. It is best to stay away from pillars as much as possible.

Chest Swing

Avarice first throws forward its treasure chest, then swings it, dragging it in a circular path. You can easily avoid this by staying close to the chains or staying out of its effective range.

Hammer Upswing

Avarice digs through the ground with its hammer in an upwards motion, sending out a huge shockwave. It has a pretty long wind up time and is easily avoided, but anyone caught in its AoE will suffer heavy damage.

Portal Rush

Avarice summons a portal and charges to it, trampling on anyone along its path. Avarice then reemerges through a new portal and slams its hammer. This move also has a long animation and gives you plenty of time to move out of the way.
