Belial, Astrogha and Spirit of Giyua Median XL, the complete guide to be able to kill these three uber bosses of Diablo 2 Median XL pending 125

125 37. Belial Lord of Lies, The Book of Lies

Of the last 125 instances, you'll have to kill Belial. He can be found in the Realm of Lies, accessible by killing Maghda and recovering his Key of Lies. As a reminder, this is the boss of the left seal of Act 4 on Diablo. Enter the Kingdom of Lies, then go to the right corner of the map. This Uber Boss is quite complicated because you have to resist and do enough damage because it has a lot of hit points. In particular, he will have the annoying ability to turn into a rat when you type him, the rest will be illusions. Here is the information to help you:

• The only true Belial is the one that turns into a rat when you touch it, the rest are illusions with less hit points.
• It makes a pretty weird sound when you touch the real one, suddenly tap the illusions until you find the real one then don't let go
• Use a click lock, i.e. you keep pressing the left mouse button, and your character will permanently follow the boss, regardless of its shape or its movements, which will be much easier to follow it.
• Belial in its rat form hurts extremely, be careful to step back if necessary to heal yourself
• The life appearing on the screen is almost all the time that of illusions, don't worry about that and hit the real Belial until he dies, even if it will be long (take a good stock of potion)

Belial's summary:

• Location: Act 4, Maghda, Key of Lies; Realm of Lies, right corner of the map
• Specificity: target only the real Belial, who turns into a rat under the blows
• Reward: The Book of Lies, life and mana

125 38. Astrogha, Venom Stinger

If you can kill Belial, you should be able to kill Astrogha, giving him a very interesting charm as well. Be careful, you will need a lot of patience to be able to kill him. Go to Torjan Jungles, then up to the left, where Lord Aldric Jitan is, then the Web of Deceit cave to find the boss. This one has very specific mechanics, here is how it works:

• He summons statues on you, the caregiver, you will have to avoid them at all costs
• He has time to summon a statue on your corpse when you die, the healer, very annoying mechanic and a bit buggy, so I advise you not to die within range of the boss
• He can use his attacks through mobs, so if you die in one hit from a worm, that's his attack.
• His curse slows you down considerably, I advise you to flee the fight while you are cursed
• The rest of his attacks aren't problematic
• It is not mandatory to cleanse his summons, if you do, however, make sure you don't die.
• Then go give it a hit, then go back and do this for as long as it takes to kill it (whether you are melee or ranged)

Astrogha's summary:

• Location: Torjan Jungles, top left, Web of Deceit
• Specificity: attack the boss, taking great care to touch the statuses
• Reward: Venom Stinger, Health, Skill, Poison Duration Reduction

125 40. Spirit of Giyua, Ghost Trance

If you followed correctly, this instance is the 40th that I recommend, you should do Uldyssian instance 39 before this one, which is simpler. To find the Spirit of Giyua, go to Tengaze, then to the middle of the map where the boss is. Take the red portal to access it. You have several things to know to kill this boss:

• enemies when killed explode, you can hide behind a wall to avoid it
• Spirit of Giyua will summon nests making him invulnerable and creating yellow ball-shaped spirits themselves, these nests must be destroyed with Purify.
• The balls are very dangerous and will kill you very quickly if several are on you, moreover they curse you when you hit you increasing your damage received
• Spirit of Giyua teleports on you and summons a tornado circle, you can either teleport outside of this circle (if you're ranged) or take the opportunity to do damage to it (if you're melee)
• To manage the boules, there are two techniques:
  • pull away from the boss, you can take them to the other end of the map or just a little further then return to the boss
  • walk in a circle with enough FRW, they will never touch you. This technique is faster but more complicated to perform
• The number and frequency of invocation of nests is random, I had seen that a priori it depends on the number of invocations, but personally I did not notice any difference

The summary of Spirit of Giyua:

• Location: Tengaze, in the middle of the map
• Specificity: kill the nests with Purify, avoid the yellow balls and kill the boss
• Reward: Ghost Trance, Skill, and Attributes
