Avarice the Gold Cursed is one of the 3 Diablo 4 World Bosses that players may presently encounter in Diablo 4. World Bosses are only available after completing the main plot, and they have timers that are typically six hours apart. Furthermore, it looks like whatever World Boss spawns is random, so you never know which of the three you’ll encounter.
If you chance to see Avarice spawn, you’ll want to know how to kill the colossal boss. We’ve detailed Avarice’s attacks as well as some methods to help you get out of the fight (mostly) uninjured.
Where to find Avarice in Diablo 4
World Bosses spawn every 6-8 hours; thus, you can take on up to 4 World Bosses daily.
| World Bosses time |
| Currently, World Bosses begin to spawn each day between 3:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. (PDT) and 12:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. (EDT),
and continue to spawn every 6-8 hours. |
A World Boss can spawn in one of five places across Sanctuary, which are as follows:
- Fields of Desecration in Hawezar
- Saraan Caldera in Dry Steppes
- Seared Basin in Kehjistan
- Caen Adar in Scosglen
- The Crucible in Fractured Peaks
The most straightforward approach to predict when a World Boss will come is to complete Diablo 4’s primary campaign (which we highly recommend you do before taking on them).
Rolling credits on the main plot will activate the timer, such that roughly 30 minutes before a World Boss event, a symbol will show on the Sanctuary map, indicating where a World Boss will spawn and which one.
When the World Boss spawns, only 12 people can appear in the same instance of that zone, regardless of whether they are in groups or not – however, having a group is strongly advised.
Diablo 4 Avarice spawn times
Initially, you must understand where Avarice appears on the map. Avarice, like the other two World Bosses in Diablo 4, can spawn in one of three places:
- Fractured Peaks – The Crucible
- Dry Steppes – Saraan Caldera
- Kehjistan – Seared Basin
You can tell which one Avarice is spawning at by searching for the timer on your map. The World Boss arenas are depicted on the map as enormous circular spaces with a thin road linking them to their respective regions. Wait for the World Boss to arrive wherever it has hatched.
How to Beat Avarice the Gold Cursed
At higher rarity levels, Avarice, the Gold Cursed drops a random assortment of weapons and items. He also drops Scattered Prisms, a rare crafting element that may be used to make additional Diablo 4 gem sockets. Avarice produces Treasure Goblins throughout the fight; consider them diversions and avoid them because the benefits of defeating Avarice greatly outweigh the gold you’ll gain from killing them instead.
Avarice is a close-range brawler, but because of his massive size, it’s important to stay as near to him as possible to prevent getting caught in the wide arc of his AoE melee strikes. He will periodically vomit molten gold to punish anyone standing right beneath him, so avoid him as soon as he pauses to retch.
However, Avarice’s unique ability to traverse between portals in the later stages of the encounter poses the greatest threat to your posture. His first rush through the portal delivers very minor damage, but it quickly becomes fatal when he reemerges. When he returns to position, dodges out of the way and escapes the bursting mines.
With these hints and suggestions, you should have no trouble finding and defeating the Diablo 4 Avarice, the Gold Cursed World monster.
