== Level challenge 1 ==

Looking for some low level action while levelling up your character? The Level Challenge 1 rewards you for beating a specific uberlevel at a low character level.

Advanced players only!

'''Killing a Boss'''<br> This challenge requires you to 'kill' a boss. This means that you need to be physically present at the battle and near the boss when it dies before you can use the cube recipe that grants you the reward.

If you succeed in killing the target monster, you get a whirling red overlay that looks like three rotating bolts:

You now have 30 seconds to perform the cube recipe. If you are too slow and the red overlay vanishes, you have to do it again!

'''Warning:''' This does not work if the monster is killed by reflected damage, due to a Diablo II engine limitation. Please use different means of killing the target.

== How to do the level challenge 1 —  '''maximum level 50-70 depending on element''' ==

Go to the '''Tran Athulua''' uberlevel on '''Hatred''' difficulty, find and defeat any of the three '''Priestesses.'''

She will drop her Sunstone. '''Cube it''' immediately while you have the red swirls on you. This will add some nice additional bonuses to your Sunstone, if your level is low enough.

You have '''30 seconds''' to cube the Sunstone after killing the Priestess, so keep your cube empty!

See [[Level ubers#Tran Athulua|Tran Athulua]] for more information.
