    Terror in the Blood

    To unlock this achievement you must meet 2 requirements in any order. Both are worth 50% progress on the Xbox One achievement tracker.

    1) Use an ability that takes health when under 10%

    2) Defeat Diablo

    My tracker said 50% when I beat Diablo, when I went to fight him again I did #1 and the achievement popped as soon as I used my ability.

    How to accomplish 50% (1st requirement above):

    This is extremely simple, you can die and not really worry about much even most of your armor will be unaffected when you respawn with "durability loss"

    Step 1: First put on the ability Blood Rush with Potency rune (a safeguard). You can also put on Final Service and Blood is Power just to help but are uneeded.

    Step 2: Take off all armor except a few things and let Diablo take a smack at you see how much health he takes. If you are taking too much damage put on 1-2 more pieces of armor to control the damage.

    Step 3: Once your health gets low enough just keep using Blood rush until you gain progression towards the achievement or unlock (if you already defeated diablo).

    This is quite simple, good luck and have fun.

    i am neechOK so I just unlocked this by creating a new seasonal hero (non-hardcore) had to level them up to about 60. I was doing the bounty to kill diablo so I started the fight, got my health low, then used an ability that costs health, then I killed diablo. You'll probably have to take off your gear then quickly put it back on.

    FosterJag15I can confirm this needs to be done in SEASONAL. It did not work for me on my non-seasonal necro. I created a seasonal necromancer, leveled him up to 30 to get blood rush, and then fought Diablo. I had 50% achievement progress going in (from killing him on my other character), and used blood rush below 10% both in the Crystal Arch and at the beginning of the battle. The challenge completed and the achievement popped when I killed Diablo.

    It's so easy... So easy!
    Choose adventure, go to Diablo (it doesn't even have to be as a quest)
    Don't walk inside Diablo cave. Just stay before the gate (place where you found Tyrael in campaign).
    Now use any ability that costs health. Again, again, again till you get health under 10%...
    Done!

    This achievement requires use of the Necromancer only.

    I removed all my armor and used Blood Rush with the Metabolism rune (doubles cost of health) and my health still regenerates too quickly to get below 10% health.

    So why isn't this guide working?

    UPDATE: Got it.
    I quickly put on my weapon & armor which reset my max health and it took longer to regenerate that much higher level of max health. So my health was almost at 10%. I did Blood Rush quickly a few times and hit the 10% threshold. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED.
    (My Life Regen /sec was at +6437.1/sec, as I was Paragon level 433 at the time.)

    This guide is good because it's tells us (like the other guide) that the room called PINNACLE OF HEAVEN, just before the Diablo area, is where the first part of this achievement can be earned before re-fighting Diablo.

    Thumbs up #35 from me.

    If, like me, you have the problem that your life regen is rather high, try this:

    1. Set your blood skill to be Blood Rush.
    2. Unequip *all* of your gear.
    3. Engage in combat with Diablo.
    4. Instantly requip your gear.
    5. Assuming that you're high level, this will instantly drop your health below 10%.
    6. Hit Blood Rush.
    7. Watch as your health regens.
    8. Kill Diablo.

    echo3180Thank you. I tried all of the other suggestions but either my health wasn't dropping enough, or it was dropping too fast. Your solution worked for me on the first try.

    GdinutThanks!!!! this worked

    platinumpwnzorGreat solution!

    You can do the unequip, reequip, dash part in "The Pinnacle of Heaven" room just before Diablo, making it the perfect safe solution for Hardcore characters.
