Content must be written in English:

While some players of Blizzard's Diablo 4 are still struggling through their initial playthrough of the dark and eerie action RPG, two gamers have surpassed expectations by being the first to complete a Tier 100 Nightmare Dungeon in Hardcore Mode. It is considered a noteworthy achievement among the game's most dedicated players. Recently, concerns have emerged regarding the accuracy of Diablo 4's Hardcore contest winners list, with claims that it excludes numerous gamers who have accomplished this feat.

Diablo 4, released to critical acclaim in early June, is the latest installment in Blizzard's longstanding action RPG series. Incorporating valuable feedback from gamers after the mixed reception of Diablo 3 in 2012, Blizzard reintroduced the dark and gritty art style reminiscent of the original games while retaining some of the quality of life enhancements introduced in the third installment. As with previous entries in the franchise, much of the game's allure lies in its endgame content, with Diablo 4's Nightmare Dungeons presenting players with formidable challenges. However, some players have criticized these dungeons for their lack of innovation and difficulty compared to Diablo 3's Greater Rifts.

As initially reported by Wowhead, AlAlon and Riise, players of Diablo 4, have become the first to defeat a Tier 100 Nightmare Dungeon in Hardcore Mode. AlAlon shared their achievement on Twitter, providing a screenshot of the popup notification that confirmed their new Grandmaster status. Expressing gratitude to Blizzard and Diablo community lead Adam Fletcher for creating the game, AlAlon reached the Grandmaster level with under two weeks remaining in Diablo 4's current season.

The news elicited congratulations from fellow gamers on Twitter, with many fans of Diablo 4 inquiring about the builds utilized by AlAlon and Riise. One commenter questioned whether attaining Grandmaster status provided a worthwhile reward or simply felt like the usual XP farming in Nightmare Dungeons. Surprisingly, AlAlon responded in a calm manner, stating that clearing the Nightmare Dungeon was solely about the challenge and not motivated by potential loot or a greater sense of satisfaction.

Some players in Diablo 4 may find it challenging to defeat X'Fal The Scarred Barron in the game's first act. However, clearing a tier 100 Nightmare Dungeon in Hardcore Mode may be seen as an even more difficult task. But for players like AlAlon and Riise, accomplishing the seemingly impossible is what makes the game truly enjoyable. Diablo 4 is now available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
