Astaroth is one of the most well-known bosses in Diablo 4, as he confronts you early in the main campaign and can also be farmed later in a specific dungeon since the release of Season 9. We will show you where to find him and how you can defeat him here.
Where can I find Astaroth? To find Astaroth, you need to find escalation seals for Escalating Nightmares, which you can obtain from Horadric Vaults among other sources. These appear in Nightmare Dungeons at Torment levels. According to players, you can also craft escalation seals by merging 5 Nightmare seals in the Horadric Cube.
If you activate an escalation seal, it will lead you through several dungeons in a row that you must complete successfully. At the end of the dungeons, Astaroth will be waiting for you with his Hellbeast so you can defeat him.
His fight is not without challenges, as he has several phases that you must survive. More about his fight will be covered in the following section.
Defeating Astaroth – How does his fight unfold?
What do I need to know about the fight? Astaroth has two phases in his fight and thus different fighting styles that you should be aware of before a confrontation.
In the first phase, Astaroth rides his mount “Amalgam of Wrath”. With this, he tries to reach you with jump attacks and inflict damage – besides that, he also has flame attacks. You can escape both with dodging jumps at the right moment.
In the second phase, the Amalgam of Wrath dies, and you will temporarily have to deal with Astaroth. However, do not rest on your laurels, as his mount is only temporarily incapacitated. In a pool of blood and poison that continually grows, the Amalgam regenerates its health.
During this time, you must concentrate entirely on Astaroth and deal damage. Among the new attacks of the demon are scythe attacks in close combat as well as meteor showers from a distance. Occasionally, some minions are summoned that will also try to attack you.
The goal in this phase is to reduce the health bars of both opponents, Astaroth and the Amalgam, to zero. If you succeed, the boss is defeated.

How do I get loot from Astaroth without defeating him? If you do not want to go through a dungeon journey to get to Astaroth’s loot, you can alternatively challenge Belial. However, for his reward chest, you will need “Hulls of the Traitor”, which you get from Belial when he randomly spawns after another boss fight.
Shortly after the fight against Belial, you can choose from which boss loot pool your reward should be drawn – here you should choose Astaroth. This way you will receive the items from the loot pool of the demonic rider from the reward chest.
