Alright, so you've made it to Act III and it's time to face off against Brol, The Tyrant King. Don't sweat it, he's one of the more straightforward bosses you'll run into. We'll get you through this!

How to Find Brol, The Tyrant King

First things first, you need to be on the Main Quest called 'Descent Into Flame' in Act III. Once you're there, look for the Temple of the Prime Dungeon.

You'll run into Brol when you reach the Altar of Sacrifice room.

Brol, The Tyrant King Boss Strategy

The good news is Brol gives you a pretty decent-sized arena to work with, which you'll definitely need because dodging is key here. He's got three main moves you need to watch out for:

• Ground Slam: You'll see him rear up, arms in the air, for a few seconds before he slams straight down in front of him. If you get caught, it'll hurt a bit and push you back. Best to sidestep this one.
• Slash: Don't stand directly in front of Brol for too long. He'll just keep slashing away. It won't stun you, so you can technically keep hitting him, but your health will take a beating. It's way safer to just move out of the way.
• Dash: This is a simple dash attack that takes a good chunk of health if it connects. The good news? If you're not standing right in front of him, it's super easy to avoid. Just keep moving!

Brol, The Tyrant King isn't the most complex boss in Diablo IV. He doesn't have a ton of tricky long-range stuff. The main thing to remember is not to get too greedy with your attacks. You want to dash in, get a couple of hits in from the side, and then back out before he can unleash one of his moves. Also, keep an eye out for adds that spawn in frequently. If you let them pile up, you can get overwhelmed really fast. Deal with them quickly!
