How to Beat Duriel

Duriel Tips and Strategies
Optimize Your Build Kill the Adds as Soon as They Spawn Stay Away From the Holes Build Up Poison Resistance Invite Other Players Do Not Reset the Dungeon

Optimize Your Build

It is advisable to optimize your build and gear for maximum survivability rather than focusing on your DPS. Given that Duriel is level 100, it is possible to die in one shot if your armor and resistances are not high enough. Try to level up and upgrade your equipment as much as possible before taking on this fight.

Best Builds for PvE and PvP

Kill the Adds as Soon as They Spawn

At the start of the fight, Duriel will not immediately spawn. Instead, he will summon two adds that emerge from the hole on the ground. These adds will continuously fire poison projectiles that can deal massive damage. Try to avoid these projectiles as much as possible and focus on defeating the adds to make Duriel spawn.

Stay Away From the Holes

There are multiple holes in the area where you will fight Duriel. These holes are where the adds will emerge when Duriel summons them before they attack you with their poison attacks. Maintain a safe distance from these holes to provide yourself with enough time to dodge their attacks.

Build Up Poison Resistance

Most of Duriels attacks can inflict Poison, it is highly recommended that you use an Elixir of Poison Resistance to prevent yourself from using all of your Healing Potions to recover from the poison. You can craft elixirs at the Alchemist in exchange for some materials.

List of All Consumables

Invite Other Players

It's recommended to invite other players to your party to maximize the rewards when summoning Duriel. The item drops won't be tradable, but it will drop for all four players when done in a group, as opposed to just one when attempted solo.

Do Not Reset the Dungeon

You can keep retrying the Duriel fight, even if you die or your party gets wiped, as long as you don't reset the dungeon. To spawn the boss again, just return to the boss room. Resetting the dungeon will despawn the boss, requiring you to gather the required materials once more to summon it.

Duriel Attack Patterns

Poison Pool

Duriel will sometimes shoot a poison projectile that will turn into a poison pool upon landing. These pools have a significant area of effect that can restrict your movement. Try to build up some Poison Resistance, as it can be difficult to avoid all of them during the fight.

Claw Attack

Try to maintain your distance from Duriel, as he frequently performs a series of claw attacks that ends with a ground stab, creating a poison pool that inflicts continuous damage if you step on it.

Charge Attack

Duriel can also perform a charge attack to close its distance. Use your Evade to get out of the way and continue to spam your skills while playing defensive.

How to Evade

Burrow Attack

If you get Duriel low enough, he will sometimes burrow underground and emerge from one of the holes along with his adds before shooting their poison attack. This can deal massive damage and it is difficult to avoid. Make sure that you have your Mobility Skill available and use it immediately to get out of the way.

List of All Mobility Aspects

Summon Maggots

A large group of maggot adds will sometimes fall down from above. Deal with them as soon as they spawn so you can focus on keeping your distance from Duriel during the fight.
