A recent event in Diablo 4 showcased the remarkable skill of streamer Mekuna who managed to clear one of the game’s toughest dungeons, the Pit, while completely devoid of any gear. This achievement came during a moment when players were exploiting a bug that allowed sorcerers to deal excessive damage.

After multiple attempts, Mekuna successfully navigated the tier 150 Pit dungeon without dying, a feat generally considered impossible even with the game’s strongest equipment. Here’s how the run unfolded.

The Challenge

In the context of an exploit where sorcerer players could unleash high damage, Mekuna decided to attempt a deathless run without any gear. Common challenges in this dungeon include enemies with billions of health and instant death potential with a single glance.

By relying on a sorcerer’s passive skill that significantly boosts elemental damage, Mekuna entered the Pit with an extraordinary potential to defeat enemies almost effortlessly. However, the lack of gear meant that one hit could take him out.

The Execution

Navigating the dungeon turned into a horror movie as every encounter posed a threat of quick demise. Mekuna’s strategy involved summoning hydras to clear paths and safely navigate through waves of enemies. After reaching the final boss with a careful approach, Mekuna secured victory with a single click.

“We did it! 150!” Mekuna celebrated, humorously reflecting on the absurdity of his achievement during the run, which was backed by verification of his lack of gear.

However, the following day, Blizzard patched the exploit, putting an end to the naked meta once and for all.

Conclusion

Mekuna’s success has undoubtedly showcased skills that transcend conventional methods in the game, emphasizing the potential creativity players can exhibit within gaming challenges. Unfortunately, the unique opportunity to navigate without gear has now been eliminated, restoring the notion that gear is paramount in the game.
