German Twitch and YouTube streamer wudijo is thought for playthroughs and making guides for varied action-RPGs like Final Epoch and Path of Exile. Wudijo’s bread-and-butter content material, although, is the Diablo collection. He’s put over 9,000 hours into Diablo III, lined Diablo Immortal updates, and shared useful Diablo II farming ideas. Briefly, consider wudijo because the Grasp of Hell, having gone by means of Sanctuary a number of occasions simply to see how scorching it’s. So, it shouldn’t come as a lot of a shock to see him deal with Diablo IV’s first world boss, the dragon queen Ashava, like a chump throughout final weekend’s open beta.

Locked and loaded, getting into alone

In a March 26 YouTube video, wudijo confirmed simply how he slaughtered Ashava. The world boss—situated on the jap aspect of the map—spawns at choose intervals, giving as much as 12 gamers simply quarter-hour to descale the dragon queen. quarter-hour was on a regular basis wudijo wanted, although. With nearly all of his gear being Legendary, together with a crossbow that offers 457 harm and two bladed weapons that deal about 200 harm every, wudijo made comparatively brief work of Ashava along with his Rogue. The second Ashava climbed out of the gaping mouth within the floor, wudijo was throughout her like…properly, scales on a dragon. He pelted her with arrows and dodged her chomps to rapidly whittle her well being down. It’s spectacular to witness, notably as a result of he fought her alone.

Because the music ramped up, the battle develop into extra intense. Ashava, pissed as she in all probability was to be getting bested by only one dude, switched up her strikes. She did floor slams, puked up poison that pooled on the ground, and used her large wingspan to do wide-ranging sweep assaults, all in an try and put wudijo within the filth earlier than he did her in. Besides it was far too late.

The solo kill on Ashava was “ruined”

Whereas wudijo did defeat Ashava the Pestilent largely on his personal, a random Necromancer did present as much as get a pair hits in on the dragon’s final two p.c of well being. The assistance was appreciated, I’m positive, however as wudijo mentioned throughout the video, the participant “[ruined] my solo kill.” That’s truthful. He labored arduous for it. That mentioned, Wudijo bumped into the world boss once more instantly after killing it. Nevertheless, one other Necromancer got here out of the woodworks to assist with only one or two assaults earlier than dipping out of the combat just like the coward they’re.

Essentially the most spectacular factor concerning the principally solo kill, although? The issue wudijo performed on. There are totally different world tiers within the recreation, settings you possibly can change that dictate how arduous enemies are and the rewards you get for killing them. Whereas there seem like 4 accessible, solely two had been playable throughout Diablo IV’s open beta. Wudijo performed on World Tier 2, that means enemies hit arduous however you additionally acquire extra gold and XP. On prime of the world tiers, there’s additionally Hardcore Mode, a type of permadeath setting wherein your created character dies without end in the event that they fall in battle. So, not solely was wudijo taking part in on World Tier 2, he additionally had Hardcore Mode energetic throughout his combat with Ashava. In different phrases, if he made only one mistaken mistake, wudijo’s Rogue would’ve been clapped to oblivion and he would’ve needed to begin that character class once more. That’s what leaves me shocked. Not simply that he solo’d her, however that he did so on the toughest problem. It makes me marvel if we’ve got a Diablo IV legend within the making…

Kotaku reached out to wudijo for remark.

For a recreation that required crunch to complete, Diablo IV appears to be wanting actually good—if the betas are something to go by. I do know I’m stoked to leap again into Hell when the sport comes out on June 6. I simply gained’t be taking part in on Hardcore.
