Diablo 4 Wandering Death Location & Spawn Times

The Wandering Death is a hulking world boss, and when you approach it at its spawn location in the Dry Steppes (Saraan Caldera), the camera will pan out. The image above showcases the exact location of Wandering Death.

On your world map, a timer will start 10 minutes before Wandering Death is set to spawn, giving you enough time to invite some friends along, as up to 12 players can take on this boss at once.

How To Beat Wandering Death in Diablo 4

Yes, some players can solo Wandering Death, but that's an exception, not a rule. We recommend bringing as many friends along as you can and making sure your gear is upgraded, and gems are added since this is a tough boss to beat, even with the full 12 players.

The most important thing you need to know about beating Wandering Death is that players should work together to throw out Crowd Control effects to fill the boss' Stagger Bar. Once it is filled, Wandering Death is stunned for 12 seconds. At this point, throw out the highest DPS skills you can. The unique stagger mechanic for Wandering Death is that it spawns two (2) Trapped Souls. Turn your focus to these Trapped Souls and take them down quickly, before Wandering Death can consume them, for massive damage to this Diablo 4 world boss.

We also recommend that if you are playing with a group of friends, you craft and use some Incense, which will help make the fight easier. 

As the fight progresses, Wandering Death becomes, well, more deadly. Managing your Health Vials effectively is important, of course, as you need to consume enough to stay healthy until more health globes spawn after the boss' health bar reaches one of the four breakpoints.

The Wandering Death's shout and tornado spawns become more deadly as the fight progresses. However, these are minor worries. The biggest damage dealer for this boss is the Death Beam which rotates slowly, and if you don't pay attention, you will die nearly instantly when touching it.

There's also Death Crater, Death Crasp, Death Pound, and more to look out for. You get it, right, a lot of death! Abilities are well-telegraphed, and we do recommend staying close to the world boss' feet to avoid most of them, especially those pesky tornadoes, then moving back a bit when the Death Beams appear.

You have 15 minutes to beat Wandering Death before the world boss fight is over and it despawns, so make sure to kill in time! Easier said than done, we know!

Wandering Death, just like Ashava and Avarice, drops a special resource only found on world bosses called Scattered Prism. Scattered Prisms are one of the main reasons for killing a world boss, such as Wandering Death, used to add sockets to certain items in Diablo 4.
