Season Journey Requirement: In order to start playing the Abattoir of Zir, you will first have to complete your Seasonal Journey. This will ensure players have strong enough characters to compete.
Craft Your Path: Following the Season Journey's completion, players will gain access to a recipe that lets them create a Bloodforged Sigil (Tier 1) at the Occultist. As they advance through tiers, they can craft sigils for higher tiers, progressing up to Tier 25.
Portal to the Abattoir: The entry point to the Abattoir of Zir can be found in Ked Bardu, one of the main city hubs in the game.
