How to defeat Blood Bishop in Diablo 4
The key to defeating the Blood Bishop in D4 is knowing what attacks he’s capable of and avoiding them. Then, you will need to unleash all the attacks in your arsenal to bring him down.
There are 4 repeated attacks that Blood Bishop performs.
Single-Projectile
Blood Bishop throws a projectile of energy blast toward you. You can easily get out of the way to avoid it.
Vollet Projectile
Blood Bishop brings up a small cloud and then shoots multiple energy blasts from it toward you. Move out of the way and keep mobile until the attack is finished.
Blood Clot Mines
The Blood Bishop hits the ground and produces 4x red orbs that will blow up after some time. Either maintain a good distance from the orbs or just take down those orbs if you happen to be in their close vicinity.
Bloodsucker
The Blood Bishop grabs you with his appendages. Catches you, sucks your blood, and heals himself simultaneously.
