Despite the fact that Diablo 3 released all the way back in 2012, it is still regularly played by fans of the series around the world. The impressive hack-and-slash RPG allows players to take control of one of seven different classes and then embark on a quest to save the world and defeat the evil Diablo. The game has garnered a huge amount of love from fans, but many have a soft spot for earlier entries in the franchise.
For those who can’t get enough of the original Diablo, Diablo 3 actually does a yearly event called the Darkening of Tristram that allows them to revisit all 16 levels from the original entry. Not only are they able to check out all of these levels and collect unique gear, but they can also face off against four bosses from the first game too. One such boss is the immensely popular The Butcher character. This guide shows players how to defeat the Darkening of Tristram’s The Butcher boss.

Diablo 3 – How to Defeat The Butcher in Darkening of Tristram
Even those who haven’t played the first Diablo before will find The Butcher immediately recognizable considering that they have to face off against the same boss early on in Diablo 3‘s main story as well. Players will most likely remember that this boss is a very heavy hitter and a considerable challenge to newcomers to the game. In the standard game, the boss has several different attacks that the player has to be worried about, but luckily the Darkening of Tristram’s version is much simpler.
Players will face off against this version of The Butcher during the second level of the Labyrinth just like in the original game. While similar in nature and appearance to the standard game’s version, The Butcher here only has two attacks that it can use against the player: Quick Smash and Heavy Smash. While there are fewer attacks to keep track of the players need to keep in mind that they now deal drastically higher damage than usual. Here is what players should look out for:
Quick Smash – With this attack The Butcher will just swing its weapons at the player. A good idea is to step backward when he goes to swing to avoid taking damage from him. Stronger players can tank these hits if they so desire in order to dish out more damage against him though.
Heavy Smash – Players need to be extremely careful when this attack is triggered. They will hop in the air twice in a row, so when that happens move quickly to the left or right. He will then slam his weapon directly into the ground which causes massive amounts of damage. This has the potential of taking out weaker characters in one hit.
Players just need to remember to look out for these attacks and keep up the offensive to bring this enemy down as quickly as they possibly can.
Diablo 3 can be played on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
