Whether you're farming gear, hunting rare loot, or saving up POE 2 Currency to perfect your build, this is one encounter you'll want to master.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know.
Where to Find Diamora, Song of Death
Diamora resides deep within the Singing Caverns, a labyrinth of echoing tunnels located on Wakapanu Island during Act Four of Path of Exile 2. The atmosphere alone sets the tone for the encounter, dimly lit passages, shimmering pools of water, and the haunting sounds of the ocean reverberating through the stone.
To reach Diamora, players must navigate the winding caverns filled with aquatic creatures and siren-like enemies that hint at the boss's theme. The path culminates in a wide, circular arena that feels both claustrophobic and vast, the perfect stage for a multi-phase battle.
When you enter the final chamber, you'll notice eerie bait floating in the center. As you approach, Diamora will devour her lure and rise from the depths, initiating the fight with a bone-chilling roar that echoes across the cavern walls.
Understanding the Fight
Diamora is not a boss you can simply brute-force your way through. This is a battle that demands movement, awareness, and quick reactions. While her health pool is significant, her true danger lies in her area-of-effect (AoE) attacks and environmental hazards.
Elemental Weakness: Lightning
Diamora is vulnerable to lightning damage, making lightning-based builds or skills an excellent choice. Whether you're wielding a Lightning Trap, Storm Burst, or Ball Lightning, these abilities will cut through her defenses quickly. If you're investing your POE 2 Currency into crafting or trading for gear, prioritize lightning modifiers to maximize your damage output in this fight.
Diamora's Attack Patterns
The key to victory lies in understanding Diamora's three main abilities. Each one poses a distinct threat and requires a different strategy to counter.
1. Waterspouts
Throughout the fight, Diamora continuously summons swirling Waterspouts that move across the arena. These deal consistent damage over time and can quickly drain your health if you stand still. The safest strategy is to stay mobile, circle the arena and kite Diamora away from clusters of Waterspouts.
If you're using ranged abilities, maintain distance and reposition frequently. For melee players, time your strikes between spout activations and retreat before the area becomes unsafe.
2. Petrifying Gaze
At 66% and 33% health, Diamora transitions into her Petrifying Gaze phase. She swims to the center of the arena and begins rotating slowly, emitting a glowing cone-shaped beam of energy. If you're caught looking directly at her within this cone, your character will begin to petrify.
Stay turned away or move behind cover to avoid her gaze. If you become fully petrified, you'll be immobilized for five seconds, long enough for her summoned minions to swarm and overwhelm you.
