You must use ranged attacks while avoiding the Ethereal Abomination’s ax strikes to defeat her. As with most fights, ranged characters like the Sorcerer and Rogue have the upper hand here. Barbarians will have to be especially careful when fighting them. He will use the following moves against you:
- Jumping Ax Kick: This move can finish you in one hit. The incorporeal abomination will run towards you, then jump and hit you with its axe. Make sure you dodge it from either side so you don’t get hit by it.
- Ax strikes: He will swing his ax at you. This move can deprive you of almost 1/3 of your health or even more. Run away from him when he tries to attack you.
- Blood Clone: Sometimes a blood clone of the Ethereal Abomination will join the fight to attack you. Run away from him, as it is not worth fighting with him.
- Ground Attack: The Ethereal Abomination creates two pentagrams on the ground. After a few seconds, they will activate and will damage you if you are in them.
Tips for dealing with the incorporeal abomination

- Fight slowly and keep your distance: it’s better if this fight lasts longer than dying from a few hits. Make sure you don’t get hit by his attacks. Ranged characters don’t need to worry too much. But barbarians can rely on closing the gap by hitting once or twice and then using dodge to get away.
- Use Upheaval: Another tip for barbarians is to add this skill to your build. This is useful as it works like a ranged attack. This move uses your weapon to throw debris at enemies.
