A brave Diablo 4 player achieved the impressive feat of beating World Boss Ashava single-handedly. This past weekend, players participated in Diablo 4's Server Slam, which gave them another chance to explore the game before launch. And just like in the previous beta, one of the most talked about topics was the demonic Ashava.
During the Diablo 4 Server Slam players delved into the Prologue and Act 1, exploring the game world, completing quests, and facing the powerful Ashava. One of Lilith's minions, Ashava is a giant demon in Diablo 4 who bears two massive blades on her forearms and can cover the ground with a deadly poison. Ashava is described as one of the Burning Hells' most heinous creations. To encounter her during the Diablo 4 beta, players needed to go to Crucible, one of the areas near Fractured Peaks.
While many players struggled to face the demon, YouTuber and Twitch streamer Max "Wudijo" beat World Boss Ashava entirely on his own. Playing as a Rogue, the content creator faces and defeats Ashava on World Tier 2, the highest difficulty available during the beta. This is not the first time Wudijo has soloed Ashava in Diablo 4, and like his previous feat, he also beat the boss in Hardcore mode, meaning that dying would be permadeath.
Ashava greatly divided players during Diablo 4's Server Slam. The demon was located in an area meant for level 25 players, but the latest Diablo 4 beta set the level cap at 20. Because of this, Ashava was officially five levels above the players, making the encounter even more challenging. While many Diablo 4 players found Ashava to be too strong, other players found the difficulty acceptable. There was a great desire to fight Ashava, as defeating the World Boss guaranteed one of the rewards of the Diablo 4 beta.
With the end of Server Slam, players are looking forward to returning to Diablo 4 when the game launches in June. There is a lot of anticipation not only from veteran players but also from newcomers. It is not hard to find comments from players who had their first experience with Diablo in the Diablo 4 beta, getting them excited to check out the full game. With all the hype, it's likely Diablo 4 will be a hot topic for months to come.
Diablo 4 will be available on June 6 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
