Adria was first introduced in Diablo 1 as an NPC merchant who sold potions, spellbooks, and more. She returned in Diablo 3 as a key story-teller and quest-giver who assists in the battles against the Prime Evils in Acts 2 and 3.

However, in Act 4 of the game, Adria’s betrayal is revealed, as she intends to use the Black Soulstone to betray humanity on behalf of Diablo, the Lord of Terror, who in turn will begin his assault on the High Heavens.

This is far from the last time we run into Adria, who returns to the game in Act 5 as part of the Reaper of Souls expansion.

On this page, we’re going to be taking a look at how to find Adria in Diablo 3, her map location, the abilities she will wield in battle, and what sort of drops you can expect from defeating her.

How To Find Adria In Diablo 3

The last time we saw Adria in Diablo 3 was following the betrayal that ends Act III in the main campaign. She does not return for the remainder of the regular game but reappears in the fifth act of the game; during the Reaper of Souls expansion.

Adria will be encountered during the fourth story mission of Act 5, which is titled ‘The Witch’.

Adria’s boss fight location is found in The Great Hall of Corvus, which is a zone within the ‘Ruins of Corvus’.

When you first enter the Great Hall you should see the witch standing next to her pool of blood at which point a cut scene will begin showing her transformation.

Adria’s location in Diablo 3 Adventure Mode is the same as her campaign location. You’ll find her in The Great Hall of Corvus. Also remember that bosses are marked on waypoints and you should look for their symbol, which is a red demon head in adventure mode.

How To Beat Adria In Diablo 3

Adria only has a single phase of combat and she isn’t actually that difficult to defeat, she’s just a bit of a nuisance and it can be a little longwinded.

The key is making sure to keep moving and keep the damage coming as you can quickly become overwhelmed by her Blood Oozes. You must try to avoid these blood creatures or they’ll explode leaving a pool of blood which will deal Physical damage to you over time. Given these blood creatures do not despawn, and she teleports around, it will make the fight particularly tricky the more blood oozes on the battlefield.

You just need to keep moving, and deal as much damage to her as quickly as you can to end the fight asap. That’s it really.

As a reminder, here is a look at the full rundown of Adria’s abilities:

• Slash: a rapid melee strike, only used if all other attacks are on cooldown.
• Wing Slash: Adria raises her wing menacingly, swiping a cone in front of her over 1 second. Deals heavy Physical damage, but can be avoided if noticed in time.
• Arcane Rune a.k.a. Blood Ball: places a small pool of arcane energy beneath the player’s feet. This pool deals average Arcane damage over time, but has a very small radius.
• Whirlpool a.k.a. Blood Pool: Adria instantly teleports to another location (usually into close combat with the player), dealing Physical damage within 10 yards of both starting and destination points. Before cast, one may see a black rune glowing beneath her feet.
• Blood Rain: Adria’s main weapon; every 25% of health, or every 45 seconds, she will use Whirlpool to move back to her starting position. Once there, for 3 seconds she cannot perform any actions (and is vulnerable at that moment), and after that, calls down a rain of blood oozes. The oozes are invulnerable and untargetable, crawling erratically over the arena, and if stepped on, create a pool of blood dealing average Physical damage over time. Each pool exists for roughly 15 seconds, but oozes do not despawn until stepped on.

On Torment difficulty, Adria does not have a Enrage timer in the conventional sense. Instead, players will become more and more overwhelmed by her Blood Rain until eventually it covers the entire arena, making it impossible to move without taking damage.
