Diablo 2 has been one of those legendary games people spend countless hours on to do literally everything possible in the game. Blizzard Entertainment revolutionized the way ARPGs are made forever with this title.
Fast forwarding to 2022 and we are still seeing incredible challenges being created and completed. Another one of them is completed recently, which might be one of the most grueling challenges ever in any game, not just Diablo 2. We are talking about the full pacifist Hell Difficulty run.
A player called MacroBioBoi managed to become the first one to complete it, and it took 50 hours for him. So far, such a run was only thought to be theorically possible but it seems that it was not the case.
Summarizing the rules, you can only use “retaliation” damage to kill the monsters. With recent skill synergy changes in D2R 2.4, Nova had some buffs so Macro chose Sorceress class to utilize “%chance to cast Nova” items. Besides, there was a Thorns aura from Edge runeword and some other sources of retaliation damage.
In the end of 50 hours, he became the first one ever to complete a full pacifist Hell run in Diablo 2. Considering the tremendous amount of players who have played Diablo 2 so far, this is absolutely an insane feat.
