LEVEL CHALLENGE 0
Bored of the repetitive easy beginning with your characters? Want some early bonus to get you started faster? The Level Challenge 0 rewards you for beating a specific monster at a low character level.
Killing a Boss
This challenge requires you to 'kill' a boss. This means that you need to be
physically present at the battle and near the boss when it dies before
you can use the cube recipe that grants you the reward.
If you succeed in killing the target monster, you get a whirling red overlay that looks like three rotating bolts:
You now have 30 seconds to perform the cube recipe. If you are too slow and the red overlay vanishes, you have to do it again!
Warning: This does not work if the monster is killed by reflected damage, due to a Diablo II engine limitation. Please use different means of killing the target.
