Once you reach the final encounter, the Scourge of the Land will begin attacking you. He has a basic attack where he will use his weapon to strike you while also a heavy/special one that will leave an infernal fire on the ground. It is a bit slow, so landing hits between his attacks – especially during his particularly long heavy attack animation – will be the way to go. In my case, I used my HoTA Barbarian build and I decimated it, so I doubt you will have much trouble. Ranged attacks can also be a great option and, if you are using a Necromancer, distracting it with your undead minions while you deal ranged damage will also get rid of the Scourge of the Land in no time.
