The Ultimate Challenge?

[creocoder]

I see now that mark in game store page now. Was game fixed or is there new updates? AFAIK PoE II is challengeless crap even on PoTD difficulty. Was that fixed? Is there new game mode or what?

The ultimate challenge is a mode where every single God challenge is activated, you have to play solo, potd,iron man, and you must kill every dragon boss (if you talk your way through, you get game over).

Last I saw only like 3 people have completed it, probably more now. Obsidian will put your name on a plaque if you do it.

If you don't wanna go that hardcore, the god challenges themselves make the game much more difficult.

Also every DLC boss and every mega-boss. It would be rather simple if it was only "every dragon".

The Ultimate challenge was addded after last DLC. It enables solo + triple crown + all 11 Gods challenge and starts special quest for elimination of 15 enemies (all bosses, megabosses and some other things to kill). It is challenging, but not so difficult imho.

For this moment, there are 4 people who complete it (actually, 4 whose Ultimate runs was confirmed by Obsidians, 1 who completed it twice). I know 2 more who is trying to complete it.

one of them is me

Path of the Damned difficulty without God challenges is arguably less difficult than some games' hardest difficulties. Even Pillars of Eternity 1 was more challenging to me at POTD, I seem to remember. It will still kill you though, sometimes multiple times, unless you really know what you're doing and are very experienced in the game after multiple playthroughs.

With God challenges though...no. It's not 'challengeless crap'. It will make you cry, like a little girl who lost her barbie doll. Obsidian specifically addressed the difficulty complaints with these extra 'handicaps' to the game. Some of them are annoying, but manageable. Others, will result in ragequitting the game.

Ultimate challenge is not meant for mere mortals by the way. It's an act of masochism, and constant disappointment. There's a reason why you can count the people who have succeeded on one hand.

Just get a mod that deals 1000000 dmg to all your characters every secound, that should be a challange.

Unless you have a million illusion/dodge/antideath buffs like a fighter/mage in pathfinder to steamroll the army of sponges i can't see that working very well.

It won't work - the challenge is VANILLA game, not even any UI mods (I like the extended UI mod) which changes UI, but not gameplay.

I apologize, but I seriously think that the balance and challenge should be developed by original developers, not some "mod".
