In Diablo 4, The Temple of Rot Stronghold is located in the Southwestern region of Dry Steppes, between Field of Hatred and Untamed Scarps.

However, if you haven\u2019t unlocked the region yet, then you\u2019ll need to manually travel all the way on foot or a Mount.

How to clear the Temple of Rot Stronghold in Diablo 4? To clear the Temple of Rot Stronghold in Diablo 4, you need to: Defeat four Elite Cannibal Champions: Arden, Bostar, Corpse Spawn, and Razorface. &#8211; Beat Molqarth, the Hungerer after that, the final boss of this Stronghold. &#8211; They are located in four different corners of the Stronghold and before you encounter them, you\u2019ll need to defeat the other weaker enemies. Here are the locations of the four Elite Cannibal Champions: We would advise you to engage with each of these Cannibal Champions individually, and once you defeat them, you\u2019ll hear Molqarth\u2019s voice. You now need to locate Molqarth\u2019s Lair. How to defeat Molqarth the Hungerer in Diablo 4? To defeat Molqarth the Hungerer in Diablo 4, you need to effectively counter and dodge its two main attacks: Morningstar Smash &#8211; Shockwaves &#8211; Molqarth is relatively slower than other bosses in Diablo 4, as it\u2019s a bloated Cannibal, meaning it won\u2019t be too difficult to beat. He will launch heavy Morningstars and you can dodge them very easily as they attack in a range. Once hit, they deal moderate damage. Shockwaves, on the other hand, are deployed by Molqarth when he is enraged. Sending out three shockwaves come per attack, and you need to recognize the pattern to dodge them effectively. Once you beat Molqarth the Hungerer, it\u2019s time to defeat a worthier enemy, the Spawn of Molqarth! How to defeat Spawn of Molqarth in Diablo 4? The Spawn of Molqarth is much stronger than Molqarth the Hungerer, and possesses three main attacks: Claw Scythes &#8211; Spread Pestilence &#8211; Scythe Leap &#8211; Claw Scythes are beasts that chase you and inflict damage using their claws. Molqarth uses Spread Pestilence to infect you with toxins. You must avoid these poisonous chambers to minimize damage to your character\u2019s health. Scythe Leap is the most powerful attack of Molqarth. It\u2019s similar to Shockwaves but the intensity is much higher. With this ability, he can inflict additional damage. He performs this attack thrice when his health drops below 50%. All Temple of Rot Stronghold rewards Once you defeat both variants of Molqarth, you\u2019ll get: 100 Dry Steppes Renown &#8211; Gold &#8211; XP &#8211; Rare and Legendary items &#8211; So, there you have it \u2014 that\u2019s our guide to conquering the Temple of Rot Stronghold in Diablo 4.
