How to Unlock & Find the Palace of the Deceiver
To access the Palace of the Deceiver, reach level 60 and advance to Torment 1 or higher — Belial is only accessible in Torment difficulty. You’ll also need to complete the seasonal Lord of Lies questline. Once unlocked, you can right-click the dungeon on the map to fast-travel straight inside for future farming runs. Destructoid
Belial Boss Mechanics — What Will Kill You
Belial slams his fist into the ground and swipes it across the entire platform, dealing high damage and knocking players back. He also prepares briefly before firing a frontal beam from one side of the platform to the other — stand on the opposite side of where the breath starts to avoid it. Eldecano
At 50% health, Belial’s attacks become more frequent and deal more damage. Stay mobile and watch for his Crystal Decoy — he creates a copy of himself using the same abilities, but the decoy is much weaker and can be killed with only a few hits. Eldecano Focus the real one.
Farming Tips That Actually Save Time
Equip gear and gems with Poison Resistance and purchase Poison Resistance Elixirs from the Alchemist before entering. Bring a high single-target damage build with mobility options — solo play is doable but difficult, so group play significantly increases both speed and the amount of dropped items.
Need Betrayer’s Husks for the chest? They only drop when Belial ambushes you after defeating another Lair Boss — defeating him inside the Palace itself won’t yield any husks, so keep clearing other Lairs. Unscramble It
