How to kill the Gold-lover in Diablo 4
It will be extremely difficult to defeat the boss alone, however, the Golden Lover himself is a relatively simple opponent. According to the community, defeating him is even easier than Ashava. The tips below will allow you to defeat the boss and get all the rewards. Of course, it is worth going to Goldilocks with a squad: with friends or random players.
Use boss recovery to heal
The gold-lover has five phases, divided on the hilbar by four red triangles. Each time the boss's health falls below the next division, the Gold-lover begins to fight even more aggressively. When you have completed the boss phase, pick up the dropped medicinal vials. In addition, sometimes the boss is idle, preparing for an attack or recovering: use these moments to restore health
Respawn on your own
When dying during a battle with a world boss, do not wait for allies to come to the rescue. It will be more rational resurrect on your own and return to the battle, this will avoid the damage reduction.
Avoid risk areas
Goldlover often attacks in an area and creates risk zones. Such skills include golden puddle, hammer blow, hammer slam and portal. Some time before the attack, it becomes clear where the strike will take place. To avoid excess damage over time, avoid the golden puddles and don't stand in the path of the boss's strike.
Don't stand next to the portal
One of the most dangerous attacks exit from the portal. The boss flies out of the teleporter and strikes in front of him, causing massive damage. Even if it seems that you will not fall under the distribution, it is better to play it safe and move away.
Use Control Skills
Under the boss's health bar there is daze streak, which fills up as Goldlover takes damage with control effects. These are stun, freeze, immobilize, fear, repulsion and many others.
The debuffs themselves do not work on the boss, but they fill the gauge. When the "progress" reaches the end, the indicator will turn blue, and the Gold-lover will be immobilized for 12 seconds. During this time, it is necessary to deal the maximum possible amount of damage to the boss.
Also, when the boss is stunned, there is a moderate chance of two goblins with chests. They run out of the teleporters that appear next to the Gold-lover. If the squad has a lot of damage, it makes sense to defeat these enemies in order to get additional rewards.
