Vienna, Austria / Langenfeld, Germany and Camarillo, California, May 11th, 2021:  We are very passionate about our games. Each and every one. And we know, there are many gamers out there, who share our passion. And sometimes, this passion is not only about playing the game but also following the entire franchise. For the true fans, who want to have more of our games into their lives, THQ Nordic has partnered up with Snap Creative and Itemlab, to open up our very first merch store for all kinds of products. Destroy All Humans! Flip-Flops? Check. Darksiders Beer-Stein? Check. Kingdoms of Amalur Hoodie? Check.

And much more - check out the new stores today:

Who knows, hopefully we may see some TQ merchandise in future.

For anyone playing on the mobile phone version here's an HC challenge just for you.

Complete all 3 difficulties of the game and if your character dies their challenge is over.  Screenshots of boss kills required and also screenshots of the second page of your character's stats to confirm no deaths.  No ESC-QUIT either folks!
Screenshots of boss kills required once you hit Epic difficulty.  Until then I'll accept just the stats page when you finish a play session to update your character's details.

Please see this thread on how to post screenshots on the forum.

https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=464.0

Please provide your character's info in the following format.

Your username - character's name - level, class and version being played and whether twinked - location

Example:
Medea Fleecestealer - Aritha3 - L19 Illusionist AER (TWINKED) - Rhakotis

Characters are untwinked unless specified on the leaderboard.

So plan your builds and start your Hardcore Challenge journey. 

Characters who make it into Epic Act 3 and above and perish there will be added to the Fallen Heroes' Graveyard leaderboard.
Characters who complete the challenge have well earned the title TITAN SLAYER.

NOTE: AE after a character's class denotes they're being played in the Anniversary Edition of the game, AER they're played using the Ragnarök expansion, AERA they're also playing the Atlantis expansion.
NOTE: Anniversary Edition Ragnarök expansion - Accomplished Heroes are not eligible for this challenge.

Leaderboard as at 16.02.21 - Characters are Untwinked unless specified
Colour coding:
Red: Legendary difficulty
Green: Epic difficulty
Blue: Normal difficulty

Aevic - HC_Aevic - L17 Dragon hunter (UNTWINKED) - Room of the conduit

While it's not run by Crate themselves some of the devs do hang out there and Zantai has been known to drop the occasional bombshell at times in the chat.     So if anyone wants to join here's the thread for it.
