Ashava, one of the highly anticipated encounters during the Early Access and Open Beta Weekends for Diablo IV, was tested yesterday — after some Daylight Savings Time confusion, that is. An incredibly challenging encounter, Ashava ripped through adventurers like paper, using huge sweeping attacks, poison spit, and nasty chomps.
Hardcore players are used to death — but even many Hardcore veterans were shocked at Ashava's brutality! Many characters met their grisly end during the encounters, and many more had near death experiences. Goratha's Sorceress nearly passed away due to poison — only a quick Scroll of Escape prevented an untimely demise! Not everyone was nearly so lucky, however — many characters were doomed to never leave the icy clutch of The Crucible.
Shocked faces and health potion spamming were common sights — Ashava's poison showed no mercy. Almost entire parties were wiped out in some cases — Nugiyen, Zizaran, and Steelmage all fell to Ashava! First Nugiyen's Barbarian was caught in Ashava's brutal arm sweep: Zizaran's Rogue fell quickly after — that poison damage is brutal! Steelmage's Sorceress was doing well, expertly dodging attacks and weaving in and out of range — unfortunately, another boss fight was sneaking up behind.
The Disconnect boss came in swinging at Steelmage with the steel chair! While Ashava testing is done for Early Access Weekend, our favorite world boss will make a return next week during Open Access Beta Weekend. I'm sure Ashava will claim another pound of flesh then!
