Exquisite Blood is a new material in Diablo 4 Season 2 that is used to summon the new endgame boss, Lord Zir.
However, getting your hands on Exquisite Blood isn’t straightforward and requires that you defeat particular enemies and take part in certain activities.
Below, we go over what you need to do to get Exquisite Blood and how to use it to summon Lord Zir in Diablo 4 Season 2.
How to Get Exquisite Blood in Diablo 4 Season 2
To get Exquisite Blood in Diablo 4, you must take part in Legion Events or defeat World Bosses while playing in World Tier 4.
Exquisite blood will only drop from these activities when in World Tier 4. To get to World Tier 4, you need to complete the Fallen Temple Capstone Dungeon in the Dry Steppes Region while playing in World Tier 3.
Here’s how much Exquisite Blood can drop from these activities:

Where to Find Legion Events in Diablo 4
The best way to find Legion Events in Diablo 4 is to head onto your map and look out for The Gathering Legions event icon at one of the seven possible locations where it can occur.
Season 2 has updated the frequency of Legion Events to occur every 25 minutes. The icon below will appear five minutes before the event begins:
Make sure to arrive before the timer ends, as you won’t be able to join the event if you are too late!
The event icon for the Legions Event may appear at one of the following locations in Diablo 4:
- Kor Dragan in the Fractured Peaks
- You need to first complete the Kor Dragan Stronghold for Legion Events to appear
- Carrowcrest ruins in Scosglen
- Norgoi Vigil in the Dry Steppes
- Dilapidated Aqueducts in Kehjistan
- Alcarnus in Kehjistan
- Haunted Wreckage in Hawezar
- Crusader’s Monument in Hawezar
- You need to first complete the Crusader’s Monument Stronghold for Legion Events to appear
It’s important to note that a few of the above locations may need you to complete a Stronghold before you have access to that particular Legion Event.
How to Complete Legion Events in Diablo 4
To complete Legion Events, you must defeat various waves of enemies and mini-bosses, before taking on a final Overlord boss.
It’s quite simple to complete:
- Slay enemies within a timer to spawn a ‘Servant of Hell’ – defeat this elite enemy
- Repeat the above two more times
- Defeat the final ‘Overlord’ boss and then claim your rewards
How fast you defeat enemy mobs will determine how many Servants of Hell will spawn before the timer ends. If you manage to spawn and defeat all three, you get access to up to three reward chests.
Either way, you’ll gain access to 1 Exquisite Blood when completing the event in World Tier 4!
Where to Find World Bosses in Diablo 4
Diablo 4 World Bosses spawn randomly in one of five possible locations. Here are all five locations and their nearest Waypoints:
- Caen Adar, Scosglen (Corbach Waypoint)
- Saraan Caldera, Dry Steppes (Ruins of Qara-Yisu Waypoint)
- The Crucible, Fractured Peaks (Bear Tribe Refuge or Yelesna Waypoints)
- Seared Basin, Kehjistan (Jirandai Waypoint)
- Fields of Desecration, Hawezar (Zarbinzet Waypoint)
As of Season 2, World Bosses will spawn every three and a half hours at one of these above locations. Open up your map and check one of these locations for a World Boss icon on your map – these will appear one hour before the World Boss is due to spawn:
There are three World Bosses in Diablo 4 that may appear at one of these locations:
- Ashava the Pestilent
- Avarice the Gold-cursed
- The Wandering Death
You will get 3 Exquisite Blood for eliminating any World Boss in World Tier 4.
