In Diablo 4, players are treated to a plethora of new enemies and game mechanics, all while continuing the beloved franchise's narrative. However, one thing that remains constant and enjoyable is the vast array of items available for players to collect and equip. Divided into five parts - helmet, gauntlets, chest, pants, and boots - weapons and armor can be upgraded even further using the game's Aspects, allowing players to reach their character's full potential. Meanwhile, amulets and rings offer additional modifiers to boost player attributes, making the grind all the more satisfying.
The Harlequin Crest, also known as "Shako" from its base name in Diablo 2, is a highly coveted item in Diablo 4 due to its immense power. It is no surprise that the first player in the world to obtain it has gained significant attention in the gaming community. While initial reports suggested that Korean streamer drlee_kor had found the item, it was later discovered that the image was from one of their viewers. However, global community director Adam Fletcher has confirmed that the Harlequin Crest does indeed exist in Diablo 4. With its ability to give +4 ranks to all skills, it is an essential item for any endgame build. The location of the item remains a mystery, with some players claiming it dropped in the highest-tier Nightmare dungeon and others believing it was found in Champion's Demise in World Tier 4, the toughest World Tier in the game.
Despite receiving widespread acclaim upon its release, Diablo 4 has become the latest victim of review bombing due to its microtransaction prices. This trend of review bombing highly anticipated games, such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, has become more prevalent in recent times. Diablo 4 is currently available on multiple platforms including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
