Lord Zir is just another rung on the Diablo 4 boss ladder, which means you need to find him if you wish to climb to the top. My guide will outline where you can find the vampire lord and what it takes to summon him for a fight.

Diablo 4 Lord Zir Location

Lord Zir is located in the Ancient’s Seat of The Darkened Way, which can be found in the Gale Valley of the Fractured Peaks. Unlike the other bosses in the game, Zir has his dungeon located within another dungeon. The Darkened Way is a small location that the main campaign utilizes early on in the story. It doesn’t retain too much significance but it eventually became the main pathway to the vampire boss.

  • Head to the Gale Valley in the Fractured Peaks.
  • Enter the Darkened Way.
  • Find the Entrance to the Ancient’s Seat inside.
  • Go to the end of the hallway where Zir can be summoned in an arena.

When you enter The Darkened Way, there will be another dungeon icon with a horned skull that always means a boss. This second entrance is the Ancient’s Seat and you can find the Altar for Lord Zir inside. Clear out the enemies or run by them and head into the main boss room.

Although you might be in the right location for Zir, that doesn’t mean he’s just going to appear with Sandscorched Shackles. You need to have the correct materials and enough of them at that. So before heading into his dungeon, prepare yourself. Of course, more materials spent summoning the vampire lord means more shackles for you in long run. If you get lucky, you may even get the unique item you need as well.

How to Summon Lord Zir in Diablo 4

Bring nine Exquisite Blood to the altar in the Ancient’s Seat to summon Lord Zir. This will guarantee one fight with him on World Tier 4 until you have enough blood for another summon. Unfortunately, farming the blood can get annoying.

World Bosses, Gathering Legions events, and Accursed Rituals will drop Exquisite Blood. If you have enough hearts or a decent group, the rituals are your best bet. World Bosses will provide the most at one time but they don’t spawn for hours. Make the most of when you see events spawn to start stacking up blood.

Diablo 4 is available now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
