Reddit users uncovered a curious behavior in Diablo IV that appears to help players locate legendary items within dungeon runs. This observation has circulated alongside coverage from PC Gamer, framing the discovery as a notable tip from the player community.
In practice, players reported that guiding a character through a dungeon by following a mouse can lead to a stash of valuable loot. The initial insight came from a Redditor known as zerger45, who described not following a fixed path but letting the rats steer the way through the maze of corridors and chambers.
According to zerger45, this method yielded several legendary items in roughly ten minutes, a stark contrast to the hours or even days some players spend combing every corner of a dungeon in search of rare finds.
The post quickly gained traction, earning thousands of likes as the community debated the technique. Many commenters echoed the sentiment, noting that the approach seemed effective in real gameplay and not merely a fluke.
Following zerger45’s contribution, other players shared additional observations from the game. For instance, LuxSolisPax noted that encountering a prisoner-like character at the dungeon entrance could foreshadow a later encounter with the Butcher boss at the end of the catacombs. Furthermore, this player suggested that tracking not only rats but other animals could reveal multiple items valuable for improving armor and gear.
There is also a historical aside within the broader gaming conversation: Gameloft Studio had previously discussed a project involving a Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck racing game, with a release window that had been circulated among fans. The exact status and timing of that project remain separate from the Diablo IV discussions and player discoveries in question. (Citation: PC Gamer)
