Diablo Immortal x Berserk: Zodd Fight, Gem & Skins Guide

ECHO Gaming Staff April 23, 2025 Gaming Diablo 13 hours ago

    TL;DR: Diablo Immortal’s month-long Berserk crossover drops May 1. Fight
    Nosferatu Zodd, tackle a darker Struggler’s Bane, grab the Crimson Behelit
    gem, unlock two Phantom-Market armor sets, customise a new golem pet, and
    score ten free Legendary Crests simply for logging in.

Why This Crossover Matters

Berserk’s brutal fantasy perfectly matches Sanctuary’s gloom, making this update the game’s most natural mash-up yet. It adds real gameplay (a fresh boss, an event variant, a new gem) rather than just another shop tab, while still giving collectors plenty to chase.

The Main Event: Nosferatu Zodd Boss Fight

From May 1–30 you can queue for a repeatable encounter against Zodd, the centuries-old demon who duelled Guts in the manga. Blizzard promises multiple phases and enough health to keep veterans engaged for one-to-two minutes instead of a ten-second steamroll.
Tip: bring crowd-control immunity—the arena’s fear mechanic punishes careless barbarians and monks.

Rewards

Event currency for Struggler’s Path milestones
A first taste of the Crimson Behelit gem
Account-wide weapon transmogs themed after Berserk

Struggler’s Bane—Eclipse Edition

The fan-favourite horde mode now triggers a blood-red eclipse every 60 seconds. Enemy waves grow ashen wings and deal bonus bleed damage, while the final boss swaps to an Eclipse Apostle with area denial attacks. Mechanics stay simple, so newcomers can farm without reading a guide.

The Crimson Behelit Legendary Gem

This limited two-star gem alternates buffs: +30 % damage while above half health, then -30 % incoming damage once you drop below. Both effects can overlap, and every activation fears nearby monsters (and players in PvP). Expect a must-slot choice for Barb and Blood Knight, though whales will still prioritise five-stars for resonance.

Cosmetics Worth the Grind (and the Wallet)

Phantom-Market Armour

The market now holds two multi-class sets—Black Swordsman (Guts) and Hawk of Light (Griffith). New pity rules guarantee one set by three pulls and the other by six. Pricing is unconfirmed, but expect a slight increase over the old 170 USD ceiling.

Customisable Golem Pet

Instead of yet another cat reskin, Blizzard offers a clay golem you can repaint and re-arm. Functionally it’s identical to existing familiars—no hidden fishing bonus this time—but style fiends finally get some agency.

Free Login Loot

Struggler’s Path transmog (per class, claimable eight times)
Eclipse portal skin & frame
10 × Legendary Crests (yes, the real ones)

Should You Play?

If you bounced off earlier holiday events, give this one a shot. The Zodd fight feels closer to the Diablo IV world-boss model, the gem shakes up both PvE and Battlegrounds, and the free crests make a low-risk reason to log back in—even if you never read the manga.

Final Thoughts

Berserk’s themes of sacrifice and survival slot neatly into Diablo’s core loop, and Blizzard finally delivers an update that mixes challenge, loot and fan service. Whether you’re a free-to-play grinder or a cosmetic completionist, May looks busy.
