d4 buy items have developed in the wild for more than a week now, and something of its occasional delights may be the wild: the glimpses of fauna amidst the hell-beasts, the cute little bunnies out snuffling for food because the battle twixt good and evil unfolds around them. Inevitably, while you and the forces of hell are splashing AoEs across Sanctuary, there's collateral damage. And while you may never weep a tear for the thousands of ghouls slaughtered, seeing the corpse of the fluffy thing caught in the crossfire surely melts a Demon Hunter's heart.

For reasons most widely known to itself, Blizzard decided it was just the project for what I'm going to call the game's worst achievement: Endangered Species. The achievement provides a list of various wildlife within the game that players need to work their way through and, given such instructions, the deadliest min-max ers in Sanctuary attempted to hunt down innocent wildlife which has nothing to do with heaven or hell.

Diablo 4 launched on June 6, and also the only thing we are able to say for the animal friends is that they had a good run. Over the first couple of days sheep, roosters, goats, and donkeys were shanked through the truck-load, and just a few hardy animals were able to avoid detection. There's a thread tracking their progress around the subreddit and also the day-by-day updates allow for some sobering reading:

EDIT 09.06.23: Rabbit appears to be bugged, doesn't count towards achievement at this time, killable horse is not yet been seen

EDIT 10.06.23: Rabbit has been discovered, go to exterminate

You earned that extra day of life, Thumper. As these entries suggest, the final hold-out would be a horse. Just a horse who's done no wrong.

Then 23 hours ago, disaster. "Killable horse found," typed Somebody Dead, sharing the animal's location as well as an image. It's kept in a stable, not really able to run.

They were merciless. "Stand at the north exit [as Sorcerer], face towards within the city, activate Unstable Currents, stand in place, and spam Arc Lash to cast Lightning Spears," says jakuri69. "One of these will get rid of the horse". GreenIVIMachine says "Pulverize on Druid with Shockwave Aspect [...] took proper care of the horse". The Necros use blood waves. Apparently, it is possible with a level 1 rogue somehow.

Such may be the fate of the particular videogame horse. Trammeled away in a reliable, not to roam free, awaiting an endless procession of souped-up Diablo 4 'heroes' to waltz through and provide it the quickfire equivalent of the trip towards the glue factory. I know Diablo is supposed to be a grim place but this… hey, someone gets PETA around the line (do not).

Horse murder aside, the largest diablo 4 buy items news over the weekend was the discovery of the finest hat within the series. The game's toughest boss finally fell in hardcore because of a barbarian named Spinnywinny. PC Gamer's review has become life, by which Tyler Colp found a great deal to love concerning the game, but simultaneously "almost buries exactly what makes it great".
