Path of Exile 2 player willingly deletes level 100 character to become world first martyr, buffing everyone in the game: 'That was the coolest thing I've seen in a videogame in a very long time'

Late last week, one of the highest level Path of Exile 2 players found something they've never seen before: a mysterious chamber in an empty room. Grinding Gear Games added a lot of new stuff in the recent Return of the Ancients update, like hidden rooms and powerful secret items, but it took one courageous player to figure out what happens when you enter this ominous chamber.

That player was Carn, a PoE 2 streamer who had spent most of the league, or season, grinding for hours on end to reach level 100—a feat that few players have the time or patience to reach. As if that wasn't enough of an achievement already, Carn decided to take the plunge and see what would happen if he walked into the chamber.
