Who and What is Rotsplinter? How to find and defeat it in Diablo IV, Problems and Solutions
It takes a very concrete type of person to take on Diablo IV’s hardcore mode. If death and being in constant tension bother you, the most demanding mode of the new Blizzard is not for you. If you are one of those brave ones, We have a warning for you: beware of the Rotsplinter! But who is this enemy and why are we dedicating an article to it?
And it is that with the hardcore mode, dying is the end. You lose your character and he’s done, it’s over. If you want to continue with your adventure, it’s time to start over and move on. Any encounter with an enemy can be the last for your character if you are not prepared, and Rotsplinter is a clear example of how bad luck can bring you an unexpected period and end in the blink of an eye.
If you head over to one of Diablo‘s subreddits, the warning is clear “Hardcore gamers beware!” says Tbigbadmonkey, who watched as his level 100 barbarian was wiped out by this potent foe in one hit. “15K HP, 7K shields, 9K armour and 90% damage reduction, […] and this is what kills me,” he says. He points out that, in addition, he was playing in WT1.

However, users have also died 316 million times. The true heroes of the community have been the 163 people who have reached the maximum level in Hardcore Mode, that is, permanent death where you lose all your character, time and objects.
