One lucky Diablo 4 player is the first to get one of the game's most powerful items. Diablo 4 brought a host of enemies to face, mechanics to explore, and a continuation of the franchise's famous narrative. But amidst so many new features, one classic aspect of the series is present in Diablo 4 is classic: the large variety of items that make grinding so fun.Diablo 4 players can equip their characters with weapons and armor that are divided into five parts: helmet, gauntlets, chest, pants, and boots. Players can go a step further and use Diablo 4's Aspects to make their equipment even more powerful, reaching the character's true potential. Other features that Diablo 4 has are amulets and rings, which like weapons and armor, offer modifiers that affect the player's attributes.One player is the first in the world to get the Harlequin Crest, one of Diablo 4's most powerful items. Called "Shako" because of its base name in Diablo 2, this helmet is one of the most powerful items in the game and one of Diablo 4's ultra-rare drops. Initial reports said that the item had been found by Korean Diablo streamer drlee_kor. The Diablo community had doubts about the authenticity of the image showing the helm, which Wowhead discovered was not from the streamer, but from one of their viewers. On Twitter, global community director Adam Fletcher confirmed that the Harlequin Crest does indeed exist in Diablo 4.
The Harlequin Crest is an extremely powerful Unique Helm for any endgame build in Diablo 4, mainly because it gives +4 ranks to all skills. While Fletcher has confirmed the existence of the Harlequin Crest in Diablo 4, its location is somewhat of a mystery. Some players say the item dropped in the highest-tier Nightmare dungeon in Diablo 4. Other players say the Harlequin Crest dropped in Champion's Demise in World Tier 4, the hardest World Tier available in Diablo 4.
Diablo 4 arrived with significant acclaim from players and critics alike, who were eagerly awaiting the new entry into Blizzard's franchise. However, players have since started review bombing Diablo 4 to show their dissatisfaction with the title's microtransaction prices. While it may seem odd given all the hype surrounding Diablo 4, it has been a frequent occurrence this year, with not even the acclaimed The Legend of Zelda:Tears of the Kingdom escaping review bombs.
Diablo 4 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
