How to Beat Mahjoob in Diablo 4: Overcoming the Challenges
In the vast world of Sanctuary, you will encounter various characters repeatedly, both minor and major. One such character is Mahjoob, who initially refused to guide you through the desert during the main quest. However, he now finds himself in a troublesome situation that can only be cured through a beating. Here’s a guide on how to defeat Mahjoob in Diablo 4.
Mahjoob plays a central role in a chain of quests in Kehjistan, and things take a turn for the worse when an infection in his arm worsens, leading him to attack you. Unfortunately, this quest is plagued with bugs, making it even more challenging.
As an Elite, Mahjoob possesses three traits: Summoner, Plaguebearer, and Vampiric. He differs from most Elite Skittering Abominations in both his move sets and his incredibly powerful healing abilities.
As a Skittering Abomination, Mahjoob moves slowly and specializes in attacks that push you back or force you away, briefly stunning you in the process. His poison ability acts like a gatling gun, shooting in a circular motion, often following a successful pushback attack.
However, the most troublesome aspect of his abilities is his Vampiric ability. This allows Mahjoob to regain health by simply touching you. You’ll know he’s about to use this ability when you hear a gong sound, and he gains a red aura.
Dealing with Mahjoob becomes particularly difficult due to his long-range life-draining attacks and his pushback-stagger combination. However, there are a few methods you can employ to counter him.
- Utilize crowd control abilities: When Mahjoob gains the red aura indicating he’s about to use his Vampire ability, use your crowd control abilities. For example, Frost Nova for the Sorcerer, Smoke Grenades for the Rogue, or Immobilize for the Barbarian and Druid. These abilities will effectively disrupt Mahjoob’s vampiric state.
- Take advantage of the well: In the first room near the dungeon stairs, there is a well that can be used for cover. Mahjoob’s slow movement speed allows you to use it as a refuge when needed.
- Change the World Tier: If all else fails and you’re tired of repeatedly failing, consider adjusting the World Tier. Increasing the difficulty can add a new level of challenge, but it may also provide a sense of satisfaction when you finally manage to defeat Mahjoob.
By employing these strategies, you can overcome the challenges posed by Mahjoob and emerge victorious in Diablo 4. Good luck!
When exploring Kehjistan in Diablo 4, there’s more to discover than just Mahjoob’s quests. If you’re aiming to achieve all the renowned status in this desert infested with flies, be prepared for the challenging side quest known as “The Pilgrim’s Footsteps.” This Diablo 4 Quest Guide provides a comprehensive solution to help you navigate through this quest and emerge victorious.
