Diablo Immortal Tax Collector: Location & Boss Fight

The Tax Collector boss during the Haunted Carriage Event can prove to be a challenge so let's look at how to defeat him in Diablo Immortal.

The Tax Collector is the main boss fight of the Haunted Carriage event. He visually resembles a Brute Knight who carries dual cleavers. This boss emerges from the carriage after the first phase and has about 20 million Health. So, judging just from this information, we highly suggest finding a populated server to fight him. This will be especially helpful since you will want to farm this boss fight repeatedly. This boss has a chance to drop some of the best armor pieces of the game. These armor pieces are extremely valuable if you are looking to grind your character to the Max level of Diablo Immortal.

Key Highlights
  • The Tax Collector boss is very different from other bosses as he is the Main boss that you will fight and he carries a total of 20 million HP which requires a lot of players to beat.
  • To be able to fight this boss, you have to activate the Haunted Carriage event which is only possible between 9 am till 11 pm and is found at Ashwold Cemetery.
  • To be able to beat this boss, you will need around 15 players with good characters with some being supported and mostly being DPS focused.
  • As hard as the boss is, he is the best if you are looking for high-tier loot in a short amount of time and it can be of great help to boost your characters.

Preferably, you want the Tax Collector to be surrounded by players to melt his health bar down quickly. We will go over the exact strategy later on in the guide. But most classes should do fine against him. We suggest the Diablo Immortal Crusader class as it provides beneficial damage buffs and support for your teammates.

The Haunted Carriage Event

Before players can take on the Tax Collector, first comes his event. The Haunted carriage event takes place in the Ashwold Cemetry area. It runs between 9 am and 11 pm (server time), which is roughly two hours.

You will also be notified by when the event is preparing to launch in the zone. Players will simply have to click on the “Agree to Join” option to take part in this Tax Collector Hunt of Diablo Immortal.

This whole event can be participated by players from all over the server. At times, you should be looking at about 10 to 15 players fighting alongside you to provide optimal DPS on the carriage and boss fight. If there are not enough players, it is advised you quickly change servers to find a better lobby to have ease in the event.

During this event, you will be escorting the Haunted Carriage throughout the entire area while fending off undead soldiers. These soldiers will almost be trash mobs, so you should be able to clear them fairly instantly. Proceed along, clearing enemies, and eventually, the carriage will reach its destination in The Ossuary.

Haunted Carriage Event Starting Location

The starting location of the Haunted carriage event is the Ashwold Manor

As we previously discussed, the event takes place in Ashwold CemeteryTo start, players will need to first traverse to the Eastern Gardens Waypoint located in the region. Here you will be at Ashwold Manor.

We highly recommend tackling this world event once you have beaten the main story of the game. By that time, players will want to have reached Paragon 60, which is the endgame level cap.

Once you arrive at the starting times, we mentioned which should be 9 am Central. You will receive a prompt that the ‘Haunted Carriage’ is there. Press OK on the prompt to begin hunting the Haunted Carriage event in Diablo Immortal. The game will then proceed to auto-navigate you towards the carriage location.

Ideally, players should travel straight to the carriage themselves with their mount to save time. You can also spot skilled players around you who will be doing the same sort of tactics.

Tax Collector Boss Fight

The Haunted Carriage event’s final phase is the fight against The Tax Collector.

Players will gradually follow the carriage and defend themselves against soldiers; however, once the carriage reaches its final destination. They will soon face the towering giant that is the Tax Collector.

The Tax collector boss fight is equally intimidating as Vitaath in Diablo Immortal. So we suggest all players treat this fight on equal difficulty as a raid boss. Players will need to bring the best of the best in their arsenal to be able to stand a chance against his attacks.

He has a wide range of attacks which we will cover in just a bit. Whatever the odds may be, The Tax Collector can be a piece of cake with the right strategy, as well as having tons of other players at your side to demolish him.

An important thing to note as you continue onwards to fight the Tax Collector. You don’t need to be the one to kill him to receive the rewards from this event. It is a co-op activity, so only one hit is necessary.

You will need all the knowledge you can about the boss, especially if it’s your first time fighting him. So, for now, let’s go over the basic strategy aswell as the rewards you may find by defeating this boss.

The Tax Collector Boss Fight Strategy

The Tax Collector is a boss fight that tests the endurance of every player. He is different from the bosses you may find in other activities such as in Hidden Lairs of Diablo Immortal. Meanwhile, this boss requires huge chunks of damage to take him down flawlessly.

The ideal strategy when it comes to fighting against the Tax Collector is constantly raining your highest damaging abilities on him. Players of all caliber will want to use their Area-of-Effect skills the most on him.

Most Importantly, you will need to have the proper positioning during the fight. As well as support class players should be extra mindful of using their buffs consistently. This will trivialize most of the boss’s most brutal attacks.

 Sometimes players will also face the area-specific foes who might add an extra burden to the fight. It is here where you will need to decide whether to concentrate your DPS on the Tax Collector or the trash mobs.

Now we suggest that you should continuously check on your team. Focus damage on the boss if you feel like it is not consistent or either help them in clearing random enemies. As long as you do enough damage, the boss will repeatedly get stunned. This will allow you and your team to finish him in less than a few minutes.

While you are at it, if you think you are struggling and want to make the game a bit fairer. Remember that you always have the option to Change the Difficulty Setting in Diablo Immortal.

Tax Collector Boss Fight Rewards

The Tax Collector has a chance to drop legendary endgame armor with useful materials.

The Haunted Carriage Event is one of the best ways to farm the Enchanted Dust in Diablo Immortal. These are specifically the upgrade materials needed to enhance your legendary armaments. These materials also boost the armor’s primary attributes, which are incredibly useful.

Once you successfully defeat the Tax Collector, everyone can collect the rewards who participated in the event. However, you will find yourself in high demand for these materials very soon in the endgame. This is because you only receive a few enchanted dusts in the base difficulty level.

In case you did not know, Diablo Immortal has four difficulty levels, which act as four different worlds in servers. These are essentially tiers which are Hell 1, 2, 3, and finally, Hell 4, which is the highest one.

To farm this event, you will have to complete the event on one difficulty. After which, you should immediately swap the difficulty to a higher world level and repeat the event. Since the event lasts for a maximum of two hours, you should have no trouble farming it at a high character level.

This method of farming activities is termed the “Power Hour” by the MMO-RPG communities since you are ultimately trying to ‘power’ through the same activity but on higher levels of the game.

This concludes our in-depth walkthrough on the Tax Collector boss fight in Diablo Immortal. We hope it helps you comfortably defeat the boss and farm it at thundering speed. If you have any further questions feel free to ask them in the comments box below!
