Den Mother is one of the former bosses in Diablo 4. He is second only to the strongest Butcher and world boss Ashava. Even those old Diablo 4 players who have reached level 25 will face a tremendous challenge when facing Den Mother.
In fact, Den Mother is a rather bulky werewolf form. Although it can’t flexibly dodge the player’s attack on it, its multiple combo moves are still very powerful. Regardless of your class or character build, Den Mother is a monumental challenge for your combat sense.
In this guide, we’ll show you where in Diablo 4 you’ll encounter Den Mother, including some of its abilities. Giving you some combat tips and tricks to help you defeat the Den Mother when you encounter it.
The Location Of Den Mother
Den Mother is the ultimate boss that players encounter in Light’s Watch dungeon, north of Margrave, in the Dobrev Taiga area of Fractured Peaks. If you can’t find the exact location of Margrave, you can go to Kyovashad Waypoint first. Players can leave the city through the southernmost exit here and then go southeast to the forest until they reach Margrave.
Along the way, you’ll have to complete Light’s Watch side dungeon quest, as it’s part of Legacies of Light’s Watch side quest. You can successfully find the side quest dungeon by following the objective clues here.
In fact, the overall layout of Light’s Watch dungeon is not much different from other dungeons in Diablo 4. It’s all the same winding corridors and dark rooms, but each dungeon has a different theme, intertwined with the history of the fort where the dungeon is located. Players first need to defeat two small bosses to get the first set of keys to open the Light’s Watch dungeon, and then they can meet Den Mother.
How To Beat Den Mother
Distance Is Key
In fact, there is no difference between Den Mother and most of the bosses in Diablo 4. You need to keep a certain distance from Den Mother. Den Mother’s most iconic attack is its Swipe Attacks, but these are easily avoided if you keep your distance.
Classes such as Rogues, Necromancers, and Sorcerers in particular will be great against it, as players of this class can take advantage of ranged attacks and summon abilities to slowly damage it. At the same time ready to stand out at any time.
Avoid Red Mist
Players need to be aware that Den Mother will have multiple Red Mist Circles after each combo. Players will deal damage as long as they stay in Red Mist Circles for a certain amount of time. Therefore, players are best able to avoid them. But don’t worry, these Red Mist will only be active for a short time, you just need to wait for them to disappear.
Kill Her Minions
You’ll need to be on your toes once Den Mother summons her six cubs. You’ll need to deal with those cubs before you can focus on Den Mother again. Actually, these cubs are not particularly powerful, but you can easily be surrounded by them and killed. If you get caught by them, they will gang up and wreak havoc on you.
Keep Moving When It’s Invisible
When Den Mother is invisible, players must not forget to move randomly to avoid its attacks. Once it reappears, get away from it as quickly as possible to prevent it from hitting you with a three-hit combo. This is also its most powerful attack.
Complete Potion
Although obvious, I would like to remind players to always prepare a full set of potions before fighting, to keep your health in the peak state at all times. You can get it from Red Health Pool before the battle, or exchange it with enough Diablo 4 Gold.
