Something else to keep in mind is that players can't gain any XP outside of the new dungeon.

Not being able to turn off the game may be frustrating for some, but it's worth noting that the dungeon should take less than an hour for most players, so starting over isn't the end of the world. However, if players decide to leave in the middle of the dungeon and return to town for supplies or to drop off loot, then they shouldn't have to start the process over from the beginning. Secondly, players have to complete this dungeon without turning off their game.

Most players will be tempted to go through the new dungeon with their favorite character, but to get the Butcher pet, players need to go in with a completely fresh character. Additionally, the Butcher, a cleaver-wielding boss from the original Diablo, can be claimed as a pet in Diablo III as a part of the event.Īfter downloading the 20th anniversary update for Diablo III, players will have the chance to complete a 16-level dungeon while playing in Adventure Mode (itself unlocked by completing the game at least once).
