5. Defeat the wave of Necrotic Abominations
6. Defeat Kain the Desolate
• There are several revelers in this area that Kain will turn into Desolate Corpses and leech health from. Concentrate on slaying the corpses as quickly as possible while Asha and the Faceless Man work on Kain. Once all corpses are dead, continue assisting with Kain.
7. Defeat Shadavarian
• You're on your own for this fight! Shadavarian has 123,000 health but can be soloed.
• Be careful not to run away too far from where Shadavarian originally spawned in the plaza or you will lose aggro and he will heal to full health.
• Run around Shadavarian whenever he does Death Ray to avoid its constant damage.
• Shadavarian's other attacks will display red highlighted areas where he will strike. Move out of the way to avoid taking damage. Two of the three attacks you can run underneath him to avoid the damage and still continue attacking him.
• Occasionally Shadavarian will be inflicted by Deathly Innervation where he will be unable to move or attack for 10 seconds. Take advantage of this time and dish out as much damage as possible.
