How to Defeat Vhenard in Diablo 4
Here's a guide to help you defeat Vhenard:
Location:
You'll encounter Vhenard in the story quest "The Cost of Knowledge" within the region of Fractured Peaks. She's found in the Nostrava Deepwood, inside a location known as the Black Asylum.
Preparation:
•Level: It's advisable to be around level 10 or higher, but with good tactics, you might manage at lower levels.
•Gear: Ensure your gear is up to date. Potions and elixirs that boost your defense or damage can be very helpful.
Fight Mechanics:
•Summoning Minions: Vhenard will summon demonic children to aid her. These can be annoying but are also your opportunity to gain health through life-steal or to reset cooldowns if your abilities work that way.
•Blood Projectiles: She shoots out blood projectiles. These can be dodged by moving out of the red telegraphs on the ground.
•Charge: Vhenard occasionally charges at you. This move is telegraphed by her stance; dodge to the side when you see her preparing this.
•Blood Pools: She creates pools of blood on the ground that damage you if you stand in them. Keep an eye on the ground to avoid these areas.
Strategy: 
•Keep Moving: Constant movement is key to avoid her blood projectiles and charges.
•Clear Minions: Quickly take out the summoned minions. Not only do they provide health globes or cooldown resets, but they also prevent you from being overwhelmed.
•Use Crowd Control: If your class has any crowd control abilities (stuns, freezes, slows), use them to manage Vhenard's movements and attacks.
•Dodge the Pools: Always be aware of where you're standing. Avoid stepping into the blood pools she creates.
•Focus Fire: When her minions are down, focus all your damage on Vhenard. Use your most powerful abilities when she's not in the middle of an attack animation.
Vhenard Fighting Tips: 
•Healing: Use your potions wisely. Save them for when you really need them, especially if you get caught in a bad spot with the blood pools or after a charge.
•Environmental Awareness: The fight area might have some environmental hazards or aids. Use them if possible, but mainly focus on Vhenard and her abilities.
•Posture: If your character has abilities that benefit from a certain stance or posture (like a Barbarian's shouts or a Sorceress's enchantments), make sure to use them at the right moments for maximum effect.
Rewards:
After defeating Vhenard, you can expect to receive gold, experience, and possibly some gear. This fight also progresses the story, leading you deeper into the mysteries of Diablo 4's dark world.
