Shivta Ruins
Shivta Ruins is a dungeon in Diablo 4 that can be found in the region of Kehjistan. This dungeon is filled with flies, shambling corpses, and abominations. The dungeon might seem big, but if you're lucky enough, you might be able to finish this in less than ten minutes.
Shivta Ruins Location
Shivta Ruins is located in the Amber Sands subregion of Kehjistan. This subregion is northeast of Gea Kul and is near the Fields of Hatred subregion of Dry Steppes.
Shivta Ruins Dungeon
Shivta Ruins is quite a large dungeon that you're probably going to have to rely on your luck to be able to finish this dungeon in less than ten minutes. Dungeons in Diablo 4 are procedurally generated which means that it's going to be a little random for different people.
That being said, traversing the dungeon quickly can also be difficult because the flies in the dungeon will slow you down which can prevent you from clearing it quickly. If you really want to, make sure you have something, an ability or an item passive, that can make you unstoppable for some time to avoid them.
The first objective of the dungeon is to collect the bloodstones and return them to the pedestal. These bloodstones are scattered around the dungeon. Not just that, the first one is on a different area as the second one. After picking up the first bloodstone, a door will open up and you have to destroy the construct inside it to proceed. Only then, you'll be able to proceed to the area where the second bloodstone is.
You can only pick up one bloodstone at a time. Picking up a second one will drop the first one you have in your hand. After placing the bloodstones on their own pedestals, the room to the boss room will open.
Shivta Ruins Boss
The dungeon boss of Shivta Ruins is the Seething Hivemaster. This boss monster can be quite difficult to kill because of its HP. You're going to have to keep in mind of your positioning in this fight because there are going to be quite the obstacles around it during the final phase of the fight.
Two things to keep in mind during the first phases of the fight, the summoned monsters and the barrage of projectiles. Both of which can be dodged. For the projectile barrage, you would want to stay close to the boss and run around it to avoid all of it. The projectile barrage usually happens after it pushes you away. So when that happens, make sure you're ready.
The second half of the fight will be the same but this time there's going to be AoEs around that will deal damage over time and slow you. Try not to get close to these AoEs while avoiding the projectile barrage.
