Diablo 4 player is the first in the world to find Andariel's Visage, one of rarest items in the game
Just a few days after Blizzard confirmed the six ultra-rare drops in Diablo 4, someone found one of them.
Blizzard recently had to clarify some details about the rarest Unique drops in Diablo 4 following fan confusion regarding whether or not they're actually in the game, and how players can go about finding it.
Unsurprisingly, the developer confirmed that yes, the items are in the game, but they're incredibly rare. There are six of them, to be exact, and while they can drop from anywhere in the game where traditional Uniques can, your chances of getting them are very slim.
But just a couple of days later, one player lucked out, and the game droppped one of the fabled Uniques for them. According to WoW Head, Diablo 4 player YesYou found Andariel's Visage, a Unique helmet that has a very high Lucky Hit chance to trigger a poison nova. The effect applies 10,077 Poisoning damage over five seconds to enemies in the area. Andariel's Visage also comes with Life Steal, which does exactly what you think it does.
YesYou lucked out while playing his Barbarian Lithie. In the video below from Twitch streamer NadinWins, we get to see the effects of the Unique helmet in action. The combination of the poison nova and Life Steal trigger a massive damage over time effect, which is bolstered by healing.
As you're about to see, Lithie gets swarmed by spiders, which are quickly annihilated with the poison nova. Just as their health reaches critical levels, the Life Steal kicks in to bring it back up in seconds - quite the killer combo.
Although the video is mostly in Polish, you don't need to understand the language to appreciate what's happening on screen.
