Diablo 4: New Infinite Damage Sorcerer Trick, Explained
A powerful - and likely temporary - trick has been discovered in Diablo 4 Season 9 that allows Sorcerers to Diablo 4 Items reach infinite damage scaling using a specific interaction with the Enlightenment Key Passive and Horadric Spell Infusions. While unintended, this method allows players to clear even the most difficult endgame content, like Pit Level 150, with minimal effort and without relying on expensive gear or advanced tempering.
This exploit, showcased by content creator Mekuna, is surprisingly simple to pull off. Here's how the trick works and what you need to do to take advantage of it before Blizzard inevitably patches it out.
How the Infinite Damage Sorcerer Trick Works
At the heart of this trick is a bugged interaction between:
The Enlightenment Key Passive (Elementalist)
The Burning Ember or Thunderous Particle Horadric Spell Infusion
The portal mechanics inside The Pit
Normally, Enlightenment gives you:
+X% Damage
Increased Attack Speed
Mana Regeneration: for a short duration, when you alternate elemental spell casts (Fire, Lightning, Cold).
However, if you activate Enlightenment before entering a Pit portal, the buff remains active longer than intended, even stacking with each use. Eventually, your damage scales into absurd, essentially infinite numbers, allowing you to obliterate anything in your path.
How to Perform the Infinite Damage Trick (Step-by-Step)
Here's how you can recreate the trick yourself:
Requirements:
Sorcerer at Level 60+
