Petrify is a crowd control and status effect featured in Diablo: Hellfire and Diablo Immortal. It involves turning a victim to stone
Diablo: Hellfire[]
The only skill that inflicts Petrify in Hellfire is Stone Curse; a spell that instantly turns the target to stone for a short while.
Diablo Immortal[]
Petrify returns in Diablo Immortal. Here the mechanic is similar to Chill/Freeze, but the player is turned to stone, not ice. As of note, Gorgothra the Claimer and Gebdu, Mountain Breaker are known to employ this effect using totems that fire sweeping beams. Getting hit inflicts (in addition to damage) a stack of petrified and Slow, with the effect being increased with more stacks. On the sixth stack, the player suffers total loss of control and turned into stone. The duration of this effect is affected by the Potency/Resistance mechanic when used by monsters.
The Monk Legendary skill Tranquility also petrifies monsters.
