Well, folks, it’s official—Percy_Verence, the infamous path of exile 2 character in Path of Exile 2 linked to none other than Elon Musk, has bitten the dust. At 8 am EST on Friday, January 10, 2025, the level 97 Invoker, once ranked 7th on the global hardcore ladder, met their untimely demise, marking the end of an already controversial run.

For the uninitiated, Path of Exile 2 hardcore characters live on the edge—one death and it’s game over. No retries, no respawns, just a humiliating demotion to the standard ladder. And in true PoE 2 fashion, Percy_Verence’s death was announced globally in-game, immortalizing the fall for all players to witness. Adding insult to injury? Redditor JRoyales captured the moment alongside some perfectly-timed in-game taunts, with their character yelling, “Weakling!” and “Meet your maker!” as Percy_Verence crumbled.

The saga began when Musk introduced Percy_Verence via his alternate X account, @cyb3rgam3r420. At level 87, the character was already ranked, raising eyebrows across the community. But things got messy on January 7, when Musk livestreamed gameplay. Let’s just say… it wasn’t exactly hardcore material. Missteps like skipping valuable loot, leaving his mana gauge empty, and fumbling basic map navigation left fans suspicious that Percy_Verence’s impressive rank was someone else’s doing.

Since the death, Percy Verence POE2 has slipped from Rank 7 to Rank 13 on the leaderboard as PoE 2 grinders push ahead. And with Musk’s questionable gameplay on full display, many are convinced he was, let’s say, "borrowing" the credit.

As for Percy_Verence? Rest in peace, space cowboy—or should we say, meet your maker.
