How to beat Uznu – Diablo 4 boss guide
Uznu has a pretty comprehensive offensive set of attacks, and you will have to be ready to defend and dodge his moves if you want to stay alive as long as possible.
Uznu has the following attacks at his disposal:
- A sword strike, both horizontally and vertically
- A fire-based attack, both on the ground and in the air, the latter being particularly tough to read
- Jumping attacks with AOE shots — these are the hardest to dodge
The first two are relatively easy to dodge, as you just need to stay at range. Playing as a Necromancer, Sorcerer, or long-range Druid can make this much easier for you, but Barbarians, Rogues, and shapeshifting Druids will struggle.
As for the third attack, you’ll have to continuously move around the boss room. This will help with avoiding all those circles on the ground highlighting where the next strike is going to hit. Luckily enough, these attacks take a second to charge, so you should have enough time to plan ahead and avoid them.
Uznu has a three-segment health bar. He isn’t too hard to take down, but it’s one of the longest fights in the game, so you’ll need a lot of patience. As always, don’t forget to heal yourself as soon as you can, which should be easy with all the health potions the boss drops at the end of each segment.
Follow our advice above and you will surely succeed in defeating Uznu in Diablo 4’s Act VI.
