D4 Lilith Boss

Lilith, Mother of Sanctuary, as seen in Diablo IV

Lilith is the final boss of Act VI of Diablo IV.

Overview[]

She is fought in the campaign quest "What Lies Ahead," at the Cathedral of Hatred. Her battle begins after a cutscene, when the player arrives at Mephisto's reforming essence.

Phase 1 (Mother of Sanctuary)[]

Lilith has 6 major attacks in this phase of the battle. She's not really mobile, and stalks the player to close in,or uses her wings for short, evasive movements.

  • Wing Swipe: This is her basic attack. Lilith spins around while moving forward, swiping both wings out in the process.
  • Firestorm: Lilith ignites her hand and swipes it out. Rifts form on the ground, which explode with flames in a wave. She can cast this move in different formations;
    • Row: Four rifts form in parallel lines.
    • Lattice: From 60% life, Lilith casts the rifts twice, with the second time forming a crisscross lattice.
    • Intersecting: From 40% life, Lilith casts the rifts thrice, with the third time intersecting at the player's location at the time of casting.
  • Blood Spikes: Lilith stretches her hands in front of herself with palms facing the ground, and then conjures a pool of burning blood. She then evades backwards, sending the pool in a wave of blood spikes with a flap of her wings. This attack also causes knockback.
  • Blood Rush: If the player maintains a distance from her, Lilith can liquify herself into blood and quickly reform near the player. This is usually followed by a Wing Swipe.
  • Divebomb: Lilith flies up (out of screen range), then lands quickly on the player, causing damage and knockback. Upon landing, she creates a ring of blood spikes. This skill can be evaded by quickly moving out of the marked area before she lands.
  • Summon Minions: Lilith Divebombs to the center of the arena, then slightly levitates and sends a network blood tendrils from her fingers. Different demons (Enforcers, Oppressors and Succubi) spawn from the blood. After that, she takes to the skies. Until all minions (bar the succubi) are killed, Lilith continues flying, only dropping down briefly in a Divebomb, or to cast Blood Spikes.
    • Dread Champions: Lilith can also spawn only 2 Dread Champions of Chaos, which are empowered Enforcers with the ability to create rune circles on the ground that explode with hellfire.

Phase 2 (Daughter of Hatred)[]

Mother of Mankind

The second Phase begins with Lilith reforming in her true form

Lilith makes more use of her blood magic in this phase, with each blood attack slowing the player in addition to damage. After killing Lilith, she dissolves into a pool of blood which is absorbed by the ground. After some seconds, she reforms in the center of the arena in a more demonic form.

  • Blood Pustules: At the beginning of the second phase, Lilith stabs her tail into the ground, and creates four tumorous growths of blood at the corners of the arena. If they are not destroyed within 10 seconds, they explode into bolts of blood magic that hones unto the player.
    • In subsequent uses of this skill, only one blood pustule is created.
  • Wing Pummel: Lilith screams (in frustration), then starts slamming her wings onto the player. Each hit causes slight knockback and more damage than the previous. In the fifth strike, she stabs down with both wings at once, causing larger knockback and stunning the player.
  • Tail Swipe: Lilith swipes 360% at the player with the blades at the end of her tail.
  • Tail Strike: Lilith closes the horns on her tail to form a spearhead and thrust it forward in a stabbing motion. She retracts her tail with a swipe.
  • Doom Flight: Lilith flies away from screen range then passes over the arena, with blood forming in her wake. At the end of the flight, the blood explodes in a wave.
  • Shear: In the latter part of this phase, there's a chance for Lilith to use her wings to slice the edge of the arena. The cutoff section crumbles after 5 seconds.
  • Vortex: Lilith spins quickly for some seconds, creating a whirlwind that pulls in the player from its vicinity and traps the player within it (any movement skill can escape the whirlwind, but walking or running can't). Lilith then ignites her hands and slams them on the center of the whirlwind, dispelling it in a shockwave of flames.
