Diablo 4 content creator wudijo created a stir on Twitch while attempting to defeat the formidable boss Echo of Lilith single-handedly with his Hardcore Rogue character.
Blizzard’s action role-playing game, Diablo 4, has finally been released to players worldwide. Thousands of players from all corners of the globe are joining in, ready to embark on their adventures in Sanctuary. What lies ahead for them is a thrilling journey of exploring dungeons, finding valuable loot, and, of course, slaying demons. While it may be the beginning for some players, others have already been hard at work, honing their characters and optimizing their builds during the early access phase.
One such player is wudijo, a content creator who has been dedicating his time to playing Diablo on a Hardcore Rogue character since the early access release. Like many other hardcore players, wudijo was eager to participate in Blizzard’s hardcore competition, with hopes of having his gamer tag immortalized on a physical statue of Lilith.

After a grueling race, cArn_ ultimately claimed the world’s first spot. However, although wudijo didn’t reach level 100 on his Hardcore Rogue character first, he was one of the first players to take on the game’s most challenging boss, the Echo of Lilith.
This pinnacle battle is a daunting task even for players at the maximum level, requiring a well-crafted build and a deep understanding of one’s class to emerge victorious. With his exceptional skills and unwavering dedication, wudijo fearlessly plunged into this ultimate challenge on Hardcore mode, where death is permanent.
With his Hardcore Rogue character, wudijo successfully defeated Phase 1 of the Echo of Lilith after an intense battle that lasted over 40 minutes, captivating his Twitch audience. This incredible feat came after a marathon 14-hour streaming session. As expected, the historic attempt gained significant attention across the internet, causing the viewership to soar from around 20,000 to over 70,000 concurrent viewers, all eagerly watching wudijo’s encounter with the Echo of Lilith.
Before the fight began, the streamer wisely used a potion of Death Evasion, which provided a temporary safeguard in case of any mistakes. Unfortunately, the effect of the potion started to wear off just as wudijo entered the second phase of the battle, after 40 minutes of intense focus. Consequently, he had to teleport out of the fight to ensure that he didn’t lose his level 100 Rogue forever.

Although he had to step away from the fight on that day, wudijo remains confident that he is “pretty close” to mastering the encounter. After getting some rest, he is eager to give it another try and become the first player to solo Diablo 4’s most challenging boss on Hardcore mode. In his next attempt, he plans to bring a second potion of Death Evasion to ensure his triumph over this incredibly difficult foe.
