Lord Zir is an endgame boss in Diablo 4 who is guarding some pretty sweet loot if you can manage to bring him down. First, you will need to find him and summon him, however.
Lord Zir can only be found at Torment Level 1 or above and is located in the Darkened Way in Fractured Peaks, to the southeast of Kyovashad.
You will need to have 12 Exquisite Blood to be able to summon Lord Zir at the altar that can be found in the Darkened Way. When defeated, Lord Zir will drop Sandscorched Shackles that you need to summon even scarier bosses, which is the main reason people will want to farm him.
Exquisite Blood can only be gotten at Torment Level 1 or above from the following:
When fighting Lord Zir, you will want to get your Shadow Resistance as high as possible, with most people recommending you do everything you can to hit the cap of 70%. You are better off doing a little less damage if it means taking less damage in this fight. During the fight, kite around behind Lord Zir as much as possible, as he does a lot of heavy frontal attacks that are best avoided.
After losing roughly a quarter of his health, Zir will summon an Elite Bloodseeker that you need to kill. At half health, he will summon damaging spheres of blood that do damage, so kite them. Finally, at around a quarter of his health, he will attack with a weird blood rain move that you will need to dodge.
It might take a few goes, but you will eventually get the hang of this fight as long as you have an appropriately high level of Shadow Resistance; otherwise, the risk of getting nuked is just too high.
