The Russian player Nokieka has managed to beat his Demon Hunter to Paragon Level 1000 in the hack and slash title “Diablo 3” in Hardcore mode.
“Nothing is impossible” – Nokieka. This is how it might sound when considering the fact that a player has reached Paragon Level 1000 in Hardcore mode. For those of you who are not Diablo players: If a Hardcore character dies, they are permanently dead. The only way to successfully play a Hardcore character is: Don’t die.
The Russian gamer is the first player ever on this planet to reach this level in Hardcore mode. How long it took him is just speculation. But it likely wasn’t done in just one weekend. You can find insights into characters and statistics on his character page on Battle.Net.
By now, Nokieka has even reached level 1002 and can relax, as the immediate second place on the list is only at level 948 and is therefore miles away from Nokieka. There should actually be enough time left for a hot bath and something to eat. Also, the chamber pot next to his office chair can be emptied at leisure.
In the video, you can watch the epic moment of Nokieka on February 7, just before reaching Paragon Level 1000 once again. This should only be topped by the birth of his children. Unless he breaks the 2000 mark.
Update from our reader Zorni: It should not diminish the player’s endurance achievement; however, it is true that the Paragon level is also an account system in HC mode. Therefore, it does not have to be the case that all 1,000 levels were played with the same character. This is also quite unlikely when looking at the “few” dead characters.
