If you’ve had a rough time fighting the Butcher inDiablo 4, then you’re not alone. It turns out most players have had their fair share of controller-breaking moments at the hands of a single relentless boss.
Diablo 4is by no means a walk in the park, but some bosses are more forgiving than others. In a recentinfographic from Blizzard, it turns out that the Butcher is officially the second deadliest boss there is (runner-up to Uber Lilith).
The Butcher can show up at any time in any dungeon and will chase you or your team until one of you succumbs to his bloody attacks. Unfortunately, for hardcore players, the Butcher’s difficulty directly scales with your level meaning that evenmax-level powerhousesaren’t safe. No one’s safe from this big bad guy.

Specifically, the Butcher is responsible for 1.8% of total player deaths inDiablo 4:that’s 5.8 million deaths in just the first week. However, when you take into account that the total player deaths forDiablo 4wrack in at around 317 million, the statistic becomes slightly more believable.
To older fans of the franchise, these numbers won’t come as a surprise. The Butcher has been hunting down players sinceDiablo 1in 1997 and has been present in every game since, except forDiablo 2. His weapon of choice will send shivers down every player’s spine, especially those familiar withOverwatch 2’sRoadhog, with his chain hook that can pull you closer or beastly charge that’ll flatten even the toughest player. This is one boss you don’t want to meet down a dark ally.
Looking beyond the big, bad, butcher the other statistics forDiablo 4are more than impressive.Blizzard’s fastest-ever selling gamehas 166 million parties created, 276 hours played, 2.73 billion monsters killed in the first week of release. Havingplayed the multiplayerto death, ourselves, there’s no doubt that this action RPG deserves a place on ourbest RPGs list.
