A Diablo 4 player has reached level 100 with a Hardcore character playing solo.
Wudijo, who hit the headlines last month after defeating world boss Ashava with a Hardcore character solo, is the first player to hit Diablo 4’s level cap with a Hardcore character playing on their own.
Hardcore mode adds permadeath to Diablo 4, which means if you die, your character is gone forever.
Wudijo set out to complete the challenge when Diablo 4 early access began on June 1, and finished June 5, a day before Diablo 4’s full launch. Watch the moment he hit level 100 live on Twitch here.

Wudijo admitted he felt "exhausted" after his gruelling four-day race to 100. "That was intense, man," he said shortly after hitting the level cap. "The last one-to-two hours I was just focused on mega-blasting.
"Thank you so much guys for being here. We survived. I've never had anything that crazy happen. I'm a bit exhausted. I'm not super tired today, but it was a very exhausting grind from start to finish — four days straight."
By playing solo, wudijo’s Hardcore Rogue character leveled up at a slower pace than other Diablo 4 players' characters who worked in groups to hit level 100 as fast as possible.
As IGN reported yesterday, there is some debate among the Diablo community about one popular party-based tactic in particular that acts as an unofficial “dungeon reset button”. IGN has asked Blizzard whether this tactic, which involves the party leader leaving while inside a dungeon, is intentional or will be patched out of the game.
Whatever the case, players have embraced the process as they strive to be one of the first 1,000 to hit level 100 on Hardcore, thus securing their spot on Blizzard’s Lilith statue.
