UPDATE: October 8th
Zekvir kills no longer grant credit toward the Great Vault as of the October 8 round of hotfixes.
Looking to gear up fast? If you can down Zekvir, you can easily unlock Item Level 616 slots in the Great Vault. With a simple strategy and minimal gear requirements, you can defeat Zekvir in just 5 minutes with no need for a high DPS setup!
Why Zekvir is Easy to Beat
The boss is all about mechanics and item level is not the deciding factor here. If you use Brann as a healer and optimize your potion pickups, you can easily kill Zekvir at as low as Item Level 550, but that doesn’t mean you should. Having around ilvl 600 will make it a lot easier and comfortable. Please note that certain classes will have an easier time defeating the boss, but ultimately, if you can kill the add before it hatches and do all the mechanics right, you shouldn’t have any trouble killing the boss…
Zek’vir level ? has essentially no DPS check with a healer Brann and can be done at as low as 550 for 616 vault slots. Good for gearing alts lazily

Every Zekvir kill counts as a Tier 8 Delve clear, so you can repeatedly kill him to unlock all 3 Delve slots in your Great Vault.
How to Unlock Zekvir’s Lair?
Zekvir’s Lair unlocks automatically once you finish any Tier 8 Delve with Revive remaining. There’s no need to complete any additional quests or objectives. If you thought quests were required to access the boss, don’t worry, that’s a misconception. Simply complete a Tier 8 Delve with a Revive left, and you’ll gain immediate entry to Zekvir’s Lair.
How to Enter Zekvir’s Lair?
Take the burrow portal from Dornogal to Azj-Kahet and go to the City of Threads.
