A source of excitement has suddenly become one of frustration for certain high-level Diablo 4 players, as Treasure Goblins are seemingly too powerful.
Treasure Goblins are a common sight within the world of Sanctuary in Diablo 4. They function very similarly to how they used to before in prior Diablo games, containing precious loot and random treasure that will drop should you attack them before they’re able to scarper away. However, last week some players noticed that some Treasure Goblins are doing much more damage to players than intended. In some cases high-level character classes on Hardcore are being killed in one hit.
News of Treasure Goblins’ increased power in Diablo 4 came to light when Icy Veins reported that a level 85 character was killed by one while it was running a tier 37 Nightmare Dungeon. In the footage Diablo 4 player Killthuzad – who was streaming on Twitch at the time – unexpectedly dies to a Treasure Goblin’s Death Pulse, which is expected as it’s a move described in-game as doing “deadly”, but not to the point that it should result in death.
