Diablo 4: Season 2 - Abattoir of Zir Guide: Conquer the Pinnacle of Challenge

In order to ensure the freshness and fun of the game, Diablo 4 always adds various new events or challenges in the new season, and sets generous rewards in them, so that you can earn enough Diablo 4 Gold for your character while carrying out exciting adventures. For example, in Season 7, which was launched on January 21st not long ago, besides the much-anticipated witchcraft power, it also brought you new challenges like Rootholds dungeon as a seasonal alternative to regular or nightmare dungeons. Because there are new challenges and bosses in Rootholds dungeon and better rewards, it is necessary to understand some of its mechanisms in advance before taking on the challenge to avoiding losses in the game. Based on this, we will provide you with a guide to exploring Rootholds. What Is Rootholds Dungeon? In fact, you can think of Rootholds as the nightmare dungeon of Season 7. While nightmare dungeons are still available in the new season, Rootholds are more worth the effort, as they have a much higher chance of dropping Diablo 4 Gold and other rewards than regular dungeons. And if you run Rootholds after unlocking at least Torment I, you also have a chance to get Ancestral Uniques. You need to find Rootholds before you can enter them, and to do this, you must first obtain a special item called Whispering Woods. However, this item is a bit tricky to get, and you can only find some after you complete seasonal Grim Favors and open Silent chests. And even more, unfortunately, the drops from Whispering Woods are not guaranteed, so if you are unlucky, you may need to complete several Grim Favors to get one. But since collecting Whispering Woods is the only way to enter Rootholds, make an effort to collect them and save them carefully. Where Is Rootholds Dungeon? When you have collected enough Whispering Woods as keys to enter Rootholds, you can activate them in your inventory and then activate regular dungeons into Rootholds just like you would nightmare dungeons. Once Rootholds appear, you can open the map in-game and teleport directly into that dungeon from your current location. These Rootholds will spawn anywhere on the map depending on your key, so be prepared. How To Explore Rootholds? If you’ve played Diablo 4 in the past and explored Infernal Hordes dungeon, everything about Rootholds may be familiar to you. After first entering Rootholds and going through the first passage, you’ll see several Enchanted Roots when you reach the surface. Each of these Enchanted Roots can act as a modifier to the root fortress, giving you a different difficulty level of Rootholds. Two of the four roots will give you easier modifiers, while the other two are more challenging. Usually you have to choose a modifier to further explore Rootholds, but it’s recommended to choose up to two if possible. Because if you choose a more difficult modifier, you can get more rewards after completing Rootholds. Next, after passing through the main gate, you should see certain points of interest on the mini-map, and approaching any of them you will find an Exposed Root as the source of a huge reward. Clicking on them will spawn a group of enemies in the game, and they will drop many unique items for you. And if you play Rootholds on Torment I difficulty or higher, you can also find Ancestral Uniques by clicking on Exposed Roots. It is worth noting that every enemy spawned by Rootholds is also Headrotten, so you can also get a lot of Restless Rot by clearing these dungeons - it is the exclusive currency of Season of Witchcraft. In fact, with enough Restless Rot, you can upgrade the witchcraft power or obtain the elusive unique witchcraft power for that season. After you successfully pass through Rootholds, you should encounter a gate with three additional modifiers, and choosing any two of them can further improve the rewards you get and increase the difficulty level, so you can fight all the way to the end. And if you want to get more loot, remember to interact with every Exposed Root you find. All Rootholds Dungeon Rewards After clearing each exposed root, you will go to the end of Rootholds and make Rootholds boss appear by touching the exposed root in the boss room. Most of the time, these bosses appear as headless shells, but sometimes bosses will grow a head, which you can get as a bonus after killing the boss with a head. These heads can be used to craft Occult gems, and after you put the gems in your jewelry slots, your character will get the final power boost, allowing them to break through as you enter higher Torment difficulties and Pit tiers. Even if the boss you encounter is a normal headless version, the amount of loot dropped after defeating them is still more than the normal Diablo 4 dungeon boss can provide. Rootholds dungeons have a lot of loot, from different levels of equipment to different levels of crafting recipes, which can help you complete the endgame more smoothly. Related: Diablo 4 Promotions & Giveaways Overall, Rootholds are fun, quick to complete, and one of the most rewarding Season Challenges in Season 7, so we strongly recommend you completing them as soon as possible.

There are currently five Classes in Diablo 4, namely Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer. Although new Classes have been added to new PTR, there is no doubt that these five inherent Classes are still the main ones. Among them, Rogue is one of the more popular Classes, and its new Skills in PTR are undoubtedly also curious about many players. In Diablo 4, Skills of each Class mainly include Active Skills and Passive Skills. Here, based on the various performances of Rogue in current PTR, we will mainly introduce you to Rogue’s new Active Skill. New Active Skill: Dance Of Knives Rogue’s new Active Skill in PTR is called Dance of Knives. As an Active Skill, it is also included in Rogue Class Skill Tree, is part of Agility Cluster, and belongs to Cutthroat Agility Skill. You can find and use it in the game through Icons in Skill Tree Menu. In Diablo 4, you can upgrade Active Skills by consuming a certain amount of Skill Points. Starting from Rank 1, it can be upgraded to Rank 5. After effectively Enhance Dance of Knives, you can start upgrading it. After upgrading, you can get Methodical Dance of Knives or Disciplined Dance of Knives. Note that you can only choose one of the two! So after upgrading, you need to choose the upgrade based on their characteristics and your own needs. Methodical Dance of Knives means that when you stop Channel Dance of Knives, you can throw up to 12 Stun Grenades. Each Stun Grenades can cause 20% Weapon Damage to Enemies. However, the specific number of Stun Grenades thrown depends on the duration of your previous Channel Dance of Knives. Disciplined Dance of Knives means that in combat, you can use Dance of Knives to cause 25% Slow to Enemies for 3 seconds, and each knife has a 20% chance to Pierce Enemy. What Will You Gain When Channel Dance Of Knives? In fact, Dance of Knives can help you move quickly and irregularly among many Enemies to confuse Enemies and make them unable to catch your movement trajectory. During this movement, you can also cause corresponding Damage to Enemies! During use, Dance of Knives can have six Charges and a 1-second Charge Cooldown. If you make relevant optimizations, your Charge speed will be faster. During combat, when you are Channeling this Skill, you can get a 20%+ Movement Speed ​​bonus and a 10%+ Dodge Chance. In terms of Damage, it can throw Knives at Enemies near you. Each knife can cause 42% Weapon Damage to Enemies hit. In addition, Movement Speed ​​is also crucial for Dance of Knives Channel. During Channel Dance of Knives, you can get corresponding Charges for every 30 meters you move. This is actually an Enhancement for Dance of Knives. Charges are essential for your effective Channel Dance of Knives. So in theory, if your Movement Speed ​​is kept fast enough, you can keep Channel Dance of Knives. Try To Combine Dance Of Knives With Other Skills Or Items The power of a combination is always better than fighting alone. In Diablo 4, there are other Rogue Skills and Diablo 4 Items that Rogues can use. Using them in conjunction with Dance of Knives may also bring you unexpected surprise effects. For example, previous Rogue Skills in Diablo 4. When you equip Daggers and Poison Imbuement them, it will give you a certain Damage bonus in combat. This will undoubtedly make you feel more powerful when Channel Dance of Knives. There is a hybrid Poison Imbuement that allows you to cause 75% Damage Boost to Enemies every time you Crit in combat, thus bringing a certain Enhancement. And if you also have Imbuements Concealment Skill when Channel Dance of Knives, then every knife you throw will cause a Critical Strike to Enemies. So if you can combine Dance of Knives and Imbuements Concealment and use them, theoretically, as long as you keep doing this, you can even get unlimited Critical Strike in this way. In addition, you can also combine Damage effect of Dance of Knives with the help provided by other Skills and wearable Armors in the game to form a richer gaming experience. For example, in PTR Key Passive Skill Victimized has been Revamped as never before. On this basis, combined with Charge feature of Dance of Knives’ Movement Speed, an effective new Build is formed. Through this Build, Dance of Knives’ high Attack Speed ​​and Lucky Hit Chances are Enhanced at the same time. This allows Build to fully utilize the advantages of Helmet called Heir of Perdition while maintaining high-intensity DPS. Thereby improving Procs played by Victimized. This means that you can form more effective Damage against Enemies in battle. At this point, I believe you have a certain understanding of the features and usage of Dance of Knives. However, when you experience it in person, you will definitely get more unexpected gains. If you want to communicate with other Diablo 4 players about Dance of Knives, you can enter iGMeet Discord.
