How to defeat Seething Hivemaster in Diablo 4
The Seething Hivemaster can be defeated if you know its attacks beforehand. The primary attacks that he performs are given below:
Scythe Slash
Seething Hivemaster uses its scythes to make melee attacks. Pretty self-explanatory what this attack does. Move out of the way when this happens so the boss only swipes empty air.
Bugstorm
Every boss summons some extra creatures when you deplete its health beyond a certain level. The same goes for the Seething Hivemaster. It summons fly swarms. They constantly move around the battlefield, storming in circles. Stay out of the way and keep an eye on the moving flies and their storming circles.
Spitballs
It spews venomous balls from its maw that will deal poison damage if they hit you. Dodge the balls by moving out of the way.
Swarm Call
It summons four more creatures which are Skitterings and they would spit venomous balls. Take down these Skitterings immediately since they will become a problem.
It is advisable to face the Seething Hivemaster with a tankier build. You need the protective ability to withstand its melee attacks and poison resistance against its venomous attacks. As such, use elixirs that grant you these resistances.
