A player of the popular video game Diablo 4 managed to survive and clear the game's most difficult dungeon, Abattoir of Zir. This accomplishment stands out as the player did it without an optimal exploitation, leading to an even more impressive feat.
The mid-season update of Diablo 4 introduced the daunting Abattoir of Zir dungeons. This high-level challenge turned out to be so punishingly hard that it prompted some players to leave the game until the arrival of Season 3.
Blizzard, the game's developer, noticed the outcry from players about the punishing level of difficulty presented by the Abattoir of Zir dungeons. In response, a patch was quickly released to balance the tiered challenge, but even then, the highest tiers were still perceived as impossible to clear.
Clearing the 25th tier should have been beyond reach. Surprisingly, a Diablo 4 player from China known as Xingluoah stepped forward to challenge this belief. Xinguloah took up his specially designed Whirlwind/HotA Barbarian build, becoming the first player worldwide to survive the infamous tier 25 Abattoire of Zir.
The elaborate strategy Xingluoah implemented was worth noting. In the 25th tier, players grapple with enemies who possess billions of collective hitpoints within a strict 10-minute window. Here, Xingluoah demonstrated true strategic mastery.
Abattoires of Zir randomly spawn different types of enemies. Xingluoah grinded for several days to ensure that he faced only the easiest enemy variants – Skeletons and Spiders. His Tears of Blood Paragon Glyph was also pushed to level 140, a symbol of the highest level achieved so far.
To vanquish the formidable enemies on the 25th tier, Xingluoah utilized an exceptionally tailored Barbarian build and smart game manipulation. His success is a combination of cyclic critical hits through his Whirlwind and Overpower skills, interspersed with strategic weapon swapping.
Interestingly, Xingluoah also exploited a specific bug that increased the Legendary Aspect effects each time gear was swapped within the dungeon. This allowed for greater damage impact, ensuring swift clearance of the in-game threats.
Xingluoah's intelligent blend of build and bug exploits resulted in extraordinary damage numbers, reaching tens of billions. However, there was a minor error in his optimization - he inadvertently failed to swap out his pants. A trivial mistake in retrospect, considering the gargantuan feat he achieved.
One's chances of clearing a tier 25 Abattoire of Zir are certainly not for the faint-hearted. However, detailed guides and strategies available for Diablo 4 may contribute valuable insights for interested players aiming high in this challenging game.

It is a fitting testament to the game's engaging nature, prompting further interest in exploring the sophisticated world of Diablo 4, as we anticipate the kick-off of Season 3.
