Diablo 4's latest beta has come and gone, though one lingering question is whether the world boss Ashava is too hard to take out. That debate means little, though, to a handful of fans who have managed to do the deed not only by themselves but with hardcore characters.
You'll come across a few world bosses during your time tootling through Diablo 4's open world, though Ashava has been the one we've seen in the recent betas. Blizzard's idea is that the titans will require a group of adventures to topple, leading to a feel-good moment as they eventually burst with loot when brought down.
Naturally, people saw that as an open challenge to solo the poor dragon during a beta earlier this year, with a few actually succeeding. Blizzard clearly took notice ahead of the latest Server Slam beta, limiting the maximum a player could level from 25 to 20.
Meanwhile, a handful of Diablo fans have taken advantage of that tidbit about instancing to try and take on the world boss solo. You're never guaranteed to get Ashava to yourself, though players have found it to be pretty likely if you're playing on hardcore.
Another players have popped up to accomplish the same feat since. One called Alkaizer managed the feat with a hardcore barbarian character on world tier two. Some did pop up mid fight, though swiftly died.
Most Diablo 4 players have applauded the accomplishments, while others have teased the crowd who reckons Ashava needs to be knocked down a peg. We don't have long to find out whatever the behemoth dragon has coming to them, as Diablo 4 launches on June 6.
