Diablo 4 player gets unbelievably lucky, defeats notorious boss while severely underlevelled

gamesradar.com:

A Diablo 4 player has managed to beat the Butcher despite being incredibly underlevelled. 

The Butcher is – as many of us have learned the hard way – a meat-hooking nightmare that turns up at random in dungeons and has killed off many a hardcore run. 

Here, however, it seemingly became stuck behind a wall of minions who beat the Butcher whilst the player idles quietly at the bottom of the screen. You can check it out in the video below:

"Well, that's one way to kill the Butcher at level 13, I guess," the OP, u/Geersart.

The post has earned hundreds of upvotes and commenters, most of which are torn between celebrating the victory and commiserating their own Butcher encounters, most of which ended with a meat hook to the face and instadeath.

A Diablo 4 player was 18 hours into their Hardcore Sorceress run when a glitch prevented them from moving or activating their life-saving skills, dashing their hopes of being one of the first 1000 Diablo 4 players to hit the level 100 cap on hardcore mode.

"Dying to a bug after 18 hours of play is brutal," Max "Maximum" Smith tweeted afterwards. "Pretty sure I can re-level and still get top 1,000, but don't really wanna put the time in just for something like this to happen again."

We gave Diablo 4 a notable 5 out of 5 stars in the GamesRadar+ Diablo 4 review, calling it "a diabolical assault on the senses". 

"The ARPG has come a long way since Diablo 2 set the bar for the genre, and since Diablo 3 fractured the playerbase, and there's some out there who will undoubtedly feel as if Diablo 4 hasn't gone far enough in its expansion – that its class-balance and endgame could be more distinct, particularly given the strength of contenders like Grim Dawn, Pillars of Exile, and Torchlight
