Self-Imposed Challenge: Difference between revisions

** [http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?showtopic=32067 One player] had a character called IreneTheInfirm: a hardcore sorceress who could not wear or wield anything, cast any spells or assign any stat points, and was thus limited to punching away for 1-2 damage a go, using the act 1 mercenary as the main source of damage (who also couldn't use any items). Somehow, Irene ended up killing Andariel.

** In ''Diablo 2'', a user on the inc.gamers forum demonstrated the story of [http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=480035 Anna Goanna]. She was an Amazon-class hardcore, as in "if you die you die permanently," character who completed the game on all difficulty levels with only cracked/low-quality items, a summonable NPC support fighter and a hireling fighter. Some bosses took hours to finish. When she finally beat the last boss on the [[Harder Than Hard]] difficulty, her name-personalized cracked sash sold in-game for multiple high-value items.

* Several challenges have popped up in the ''[[Monster Hunter]]'' series once they have their strongest set of armor and weaponry. The most common are the naked run (no armor at all), to use a really bad weapon against a certain monster (Greatsword vs. [[That One Boss|Plesioth]], no felynes), a marathon run (specialized quest that require you to kill 2 or more of a certain monster simultaneously) and the ''Arrowhead Cutoff'' (using only the Circle attack of a Bow, which swings one of your bolts like a makeshift sword, to cut off the tail of a monster, most often a Tigrex.)
