Diablo 4 hardcore pro beats its hardest boss, but to no avail

The hardest Diablo 4 boss fight is no joke; the super-charged showdown that players have branded ‘Uber Lilith’ is a challenge few players have even attempted in the RPG game, let alone beaten. Even after reaching level 100 and farming near-perfect rolls on the best Diablo 4 builds, bringing her down is a real test of endurance, demanding precise movement and optimal skill rotation on an ever-shrinking platform. After hundreds of attempts, one of Diablo 4’s top hardcore players manages to finally bring her down – but has to make a life-or-death decision at the last second.

Max ‘wudijo’ R. was the first player to reach level 100 while playing entirely solo in the game’s permadeath hardcore mode, where your character is deleted forever upon death.

Lilith does not halt.

Several weeks (and characters) later, Wudijo – now several hundred attempts into perfecting the fight –
