Unleashing the Fury: Dominate the Witch of the Wastes in Diablo 4
Unleash your skills and defeat the corrupted Valtha, Witch of the Wastes, in the fiery Cinder Wastes of Diablo 4 with our helpful guide
Encountering a diverse range of characters with varying personalities is one of the main draws of playing Diablo 4. Although many of these characters are amicable or indifferent, there are a few who pose a significant threat to the peaceful existence of the people in Sanctuary. Valtha, the witch, is one such individual whose significance becomes apparent in Act 5 as the game's story hurtles towards its conclusion.
To obtain the Purified Quicksilver, players must locate Valtha in the Cinder Wastes. However, upon meeting her, it becomes evident that Lilith has corrupted her instead of being an ally. This realization leads to a boss battle with the infamous witch. To gain an advantage in this fight, refer to this guide on how to defeat Valtha in Diablo 4.
How to Find Valtha in Diablo 4
Players will be tasked with locating Valtha in Act 5. To find her, head northeast from the Ruined Tower in Wejinhani, located in the Hawezar region, towards the Cinder Wastes. Keep an eye out for Valtha's Hovel and search the area for Purified Quicksilver using clues such as the Manifesto and Valtha's Spellbook. Once the items are found, Valtha will appear and the boss fight will commence after some hostile dialogue.
How to Beat Valtha in Diablo 4
Players should be prepared to face a barrage of magical attacks from Valtha during the fight, given her status as a witch. However, her movements are slow and her conjuring takes time, which presents opportunities for players to inflict damage while evading her attacks. The most dangerous of her attacks are the meteors, which can be avoided by steering clear of the radiuses on the ground. As players progress to higher levels, they gain access to more powerful skills that can be used to focus on damaging Valtha. Additionally, players should keep their distance to avoid the homing fireballs. If a thick line appears on the ground, players should quickly move out of the way to avoid the firewall.
As the battle progresses, the witch will start calling in reinforcements, so it's important to shift focus to these additional enemies and deal with them before resuming attacks on Valtha. However, as the fight nears its conclusion, it's wise to prioritize attacking Valtha in order to bring the battle to a swift end and prevent being overrun by the increasing number of summoned mobs. Beating the boss will result in obtaining the Vial of Purified Quicksilver, an essential item for advancing the story at the Ruined Tower.
Diablo 4 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
