Path of Exile 2 has brought in a wave of new bosses with Chapter 4, and among them is one of the most memorable encounters so far: Diamora, Song of the Deep. This siren lurks deep inside the Singing Caverns and challenges players with a blend of water-based attacks, mobility checks, and her deadly Siren's Song mechanic.

Diamora is tied to two important quests - The Search (the main story questline) and Hostile Takeover (the sidequest needed to unlock auto-trade and the Shoreline Hideout). Beating her is mandatory progress for both. If you're struggling against her overwhelming water attacks or getting caught in her song, this boss guide will help you get through the fight.

Where to Find Diamora Song of the Deep in Path of Exile 2

Diamora serves as the final boss of Whakapanu Island in Chapter 4. To reach her, you'll need to:

1. Sail to Whakapanu Island after unlocking your ship via Makoru in Kingsmarch.

2. Explore the randomized layout of the island until you discover the Singing Caverns entrance. While its exact spawn varies, it almost always appears along the outer edges of the island, which makes sense given Diamora's aquatic theme.

3. Push through the caverns until you arrive at the Chamber of Echoes, her boss arena.

Upon entering, a short sequence plays as Diamora rises dramatically from the central pool, signaling the start of the encounter.

Diamora's Attacks and Mechanics

Diamora's fight is less about raw damage and more about control and attrition. She constantly tries to slow you down, box you in with water obstacles, and punish you if you stand still for too long. Here's what to watch for:

·Diving Attacks (x3): Diamora dives into the central pool, launching three tracking strikes that leave behind tall water columns. These columns restrict movement and create hazards for later phases.

·Water Column Spit: After her dives, she often spits out more stationary columns of water, making the battlefield even harder to navigate.

·Conjured Water Waves: Large, slow-moving waves sweep across the arena. They deal moderate damage and apply a Slow debuff if they hit.

·Water Blast Volley: A rapid sequence of three water blasts fired directly at you.

·Siren's Song: Diamora's signature move. She emits a cone-shaped golden light that rotates around the chamber. While this is active, she becomes immune to damage. Simultaneously, adds spawn throughout the arena, forcing you to multitask.

Phase 2 Enhancements (Below 50% HP):

·Waves come in triplets, homing more aggressively on your location.

·Water columns gain a freeze effect in addition to slowing.

·Large, slow Water Globules spawn during the Siren's Song, further crowding the arena.

A Note on the Siren's Song

If you get caught in the golden cone for too long, the outcome isn't explicitly shown - but given the mythological reference, it likely results in an instant death or wipe mechanic. Treat it as completely avoidable at all costs.

Strategy for Beating Diamora

Success against Diamora comes down to mobility, patience, and smart positioning, and buying POE 2 Items smartly. Here's how to approach the fight depending on your build:

General Tips

·Keep Moving: Many of her abilities track your last known position. Standing still invites disaster.

·Plan for Obstacles: When she dives early on, kite her columns to the far edges of the room so you don't clutter your fighting space later.

·Respect the Song: During Siren's Song, shift focus to dealing with adds and staying behind the cone's rotation. Don't waste resources trying to outpace it - simply follow behind it.

Ranged & Minion Builds

·Best Choice for the Fight: Ranged casters and minion users will find this fight much more manageable. You can keep your distance, avoid slows, and let pets or projectiles chip away while you reposition.

·Beware of Water Blasts: Don't get complacent - her fast volleys can still chunk your health if you stop moving.

Melee Builds

·Most Challenging Approach: Melee characters have to brave the hazards up close. Try to lure her early dives into unused corners to leave the center relatively clear.

·Time Your Damage Windows: You'll often need to wait until after Siren's Song or wave volleys to commit to damage. Burst her when it's safe, then retreat.

Patience Wins

Diamora's fight isn't about rushing her down. The key is avoiding slowdowns and freezes while whittling her down. Stay alive, clear adds during the Siren's Song, and exploit the downtime between her patterns.

Rewards for Beating Diamora

Defeating Diamora is rewarding not just for loot but for progression:

·Weapon Piece (The Search quest): Beating her grants one of the crucial weapon components needed for the Chapter 4 main story.

·Progress in Hostile Takeover: She's also the main obstacle in unlocking the Shoreline Hideout for the auto-trade system. Once she falls, you're one step closer to asynchronous trading.

·Loot: Diamora drops standard boss rewards, including a chance at rare Path of Exile 2 Items and crafting bases suitable for mid-Act 4 characters.

Final Thoughts

Diamora, Song of the Deep, stands out as one of the more thematic bosses in Path of Exile 2. Her arena and mechanics bring the siren myth to life, forcing players to dance between water hazards and resist her luring song.

While her fight can feel frustrating for melee builds, with enough patience and mobility, you'll find her patterns manageable. Once defeated, she not only advances the main story questline but also clears the way for unlocking the Hostile Takeover questline and your first Hideout.

Stay mobile, avoid her golden cone, and don't let the water cage you in. With persistence, Diamora will fall - and your journey through Path of Exile 2's Chapter 4 will continue.
