A Diablo 4 player’s mom has literally beaten them at their own game after slaying a boss 11 levels higher than her character. Fans of the game have rallied around ‘Diablo Mom’.
Diablo 4 is in the throes of its third major content update. Season of the Construct has been a tad divisive with the pendulum of player support swinging back and forth rapidly.
There was ill feeling during the launch of Diablo 4 Season 3 as players felt it failed to live up to its predecessor. One update later and fans couldn’t get enough of the game, that is until familiar complaints about Diablo 4’s loot resurfaced.
Fortunately, in the midst of this back-and-forth reception, Reddit user u/Diotrephes1_Live has given us something to galvanize players. They detailed an impressive moment from their mom who ousted a Diablo 4 boss despite vastly outleveling her.
In a heartwarming moment of pride, u/Diotrephes1_Live regaled Diablo 4 fans with the tale of how their mom clapped a level 70 Elias with their Level 59 character. In World Tier 3 no less.
u/Diotrephes1_Live’s 62-year-old mother is apparently a lifelong Diablo fan who has been slaying demons since the franchise’s first installment. The Diablo 4 community is here for her success and has lovingly bestowed her with the title ‘Diablo Mom’. Admittedly, it lacks a little creativity but we’d be stoked to get a nickname.

Players in the comments of u/Diotrephes1_Live have rushed to congratulate Diablo Mom and praise her “gamer skillz”. “Bros mother is better than all my friends,” one Diablo 4 fan admitted, only half-joking.
“Congrats Diotrephes1_Live’s mom! I don’t think I could do that!” another player said. Honestly, we don’t know if we could either.
Like Skyrim Grandma before her, Diablo Mom looks set to go down in the annals of gaming legend. At least in the Diablo 4 space.
We’re still waiting on an exact build but we know she pulled off the Elias kill with a Barbarian. Truly a woman of culture.
