Last week, IGN reported on how high-level Hardcore characters were getting one-shotted by Treasure Goblins, an enemy that can't even attack. This is just a snippet of some of the out there stuff Diablo 4 players are getting up to amid the never-ending grind for higher power. For MrFrodoBeggins, The Butcher appeared just three times in 1,270 cellar runs. Blizzard has yet to confirm its spawn rate, and it probably won’t given the social media virality that has emerged as a result of its surprise appearances. The Butcher, for the uninitiated, seemingly spawns at random to scare the life out of players and, invariably, kill them. The data reveals a shockingly low spawn rate for the game’s infamous The Butcher enemy.

As IGN has reported, a sub-community of fans are devoting their time and energy to the discovery of a secret cow level Blizzard has already insisted does not exist.Īnd then there’s Diablo 4 player MrFrodoBeggins, who said they ran through 1,270 cellars in just three days to “see what happens”. The Great Diablo 4 rat race isn’t the only… passionate, potentially pointless pursuit players are fussing over. Perhaps it will address the Diablo 4 rats rumour during this week’s hotly anticipated Season 1 reveal. Is this some secret mechanic? Blizzard has yet to say. Some Diablo 4 players think other harmless animals you see in the game’s dungeons, such as snakes, help you sniff out better loot. “I’ve seriously been grinding for this ring for two days of Nightmare runs, ring-focused loot boxes, Helltide chests, and I read that rats post and followed some rats and this dropped on about the 15th mob,” iloveobjects claimed.

That post, currently on 5,300 upvotes, also set the community going. Inspired by this post, redditor iloveobjects took to the Diablo 4 sub to say “I followed the rats” alongside an image of the coveted Ring of Mendeln unique. The rats will tell you which pack of enemies to kill, and then they wander towards where you need to go! It’s real I’m not crazy! FOLLOW THE RATS.” 'I'm telling you it's real and I feel like I'm crazy but.' The rats smell the cheese! I’m telling you it’s real and I feel like I’m crazy but I found multiple legendaries doing this within a span of maybe 10 minutes. “Don’t follow the predetermined path in any dungeon, instead, just follow the rats. “Okay this is going to sound really bizarre, but you need to follow the rats for good loot,” zerger45 claimed in the post, which has 8,400 upvotes.

Diablo 4 hell is coming
