Defeat the Nearby Hollow Mobs

Defeat the Nearby Hollow Mobs

Once you find a Realmwallker, activate the portal to awaken it and defeat the hollow mobs it spawns nearby while its walking towards its destination. Keep in mind that you cannot damage the Realmwalker itself during this phase so focus on clearing the waves until it reaches it destination.

Eliminate Bloodbound Guardians

Along the way, Bloodbound Guardians will spawn in between waves while you are clearing the mobs. Defeat them to decrease the Realmwalker's health and make it move faster while it is still invulnerable to make things easier once you start dealing with the Realmwalker itself.

Destroy All 3 Hatred Spires

Destroy All 3 Hatred Spires

When the Realmwalker finally reaches it destination, it will spawn 3 Hatred Spires nearby that requires you to destroy them to remove the Realmwalker's invulnerability. This will allow you to damage the Realmwalker's health directly so try to save up your high damage skills before then.

Start Focusing on the Realmwalker
