Zir’s Slaughterhouse, or in the original: The Abattoir of Zir, is a new dungeon in Diablo 4. It offers unique rewards and becomes increasingly difficult over 25 levels. Experts said that no one should be able to do it. But now a barbarian has mastered the highest difficulty – and is supposedly not even the first.
What kind of challenge is this?
This is how the Abattoir was now defeated: As wowhead reports, a Chinese player has reportedly become the first in the world to defeat the Abattoir of Zir at level 25. He also played a “HOTA” barbarian, i.e. a build with Hammer of the Ancients.
To do this, he took advantage of Whirlwind’s healing. In general, the strong self-healing helped him, especially in the fight against the last pack.
The player named Xingluoah took less than 9 minutes to complete the level. He has already brought his glyph to level 140. As wowhead reports, Xingluoah was previously active in WoW and League of Legends for years. Now he wanted to beat Diablo 4.

Community says: “This is not the world first”
News of the Chinese player’s success quickly found its way onto Reddit. However, some users there said that Xingluoah was not the first to defeat the slaughterhouse.
Before him, a number of players on Discord reported that they had successfully completed level 25. Most of them were supposed to be sorceresses, who currently have one of the strongest builds ever.
However, solid evidence is quite sparse at the moment and Xingluoah has at least streamed his entire runs (via douyin).
Either way, it is a remarkable achievement that one or more players have already conquered the slaughterhouse, just a few days after release. After all, it has actually been described as “unfeasible”.
Especially for “casuals”, the new dungeon seems to be more torture than pleasure. However, the recent changes have helped a lot:
