Natalya was an assassin in Diablo 2, it's true. BUT she went on to form the Demon Hunters. I might not have made that definition clear in the actual video. My bad.
The reason I don't flat out say who "The Warrior/Wanderer" is in these videos is to not spoil it for people who haven't played the games, until the information becomes relevant (see Diablo 3), because it honestly doesn't really matter until the point where it was retconned into the universe.
An argument could be made that it gives more stakes to the first game, but I felt that the Diablo 1 video should be apart from as much D3 retcons as possible.
Thank you for watching :)
Dude dont apologize for lengthy videos, I picked your series because it was more than 10 minutes. Maybe I'm the only one but I love long story/lore videos--hours even! Keep up the great work!!
You should cover Diablo 4 when it comes out
So, the Demon Hunter they (the group of heroes) meet earlier on, had no connection to the Demon Hunter group that our Diablo 3 character comes from because that group hadn't been created yet.
It was the Aidan the eldest son of Leoric , he took the stone of diablo into the head to contain the evil that's that easy
It's easy to forget just how much happened throughout the course of Diablo II, but it's no wonder this is such a long video when you hear it all strung together. Thanks, +Chrane, and well done! :D
+Diablo Thank YOU for a wonderful franchise :D
+Diablo I really miss the dark vibe D2 provided compared to D3.
Blizzard senpai noticed you.
+Tony Young Feels good :D
that means your doing something right XD :D
Marius was supose to rush to the portal passing Diablo, Baal and Mephisto?
Go all the way to the HellForge in the River of Flame, kill Hephasto to grab the HellForge Hammer and then destroy the SoulStone?
Tyrael really had high hopes in humanity delivering this quest to Marius.
I thought the same exact thing lol. Why not give it directly to one of the heros?
Come to think of it, Marius is incredible badass.
If he arrived in Kurast Docks, that means he passed through "Spider Forest", "Great Marsh", "Flayer Jungle", "Lower Kurast", "Kurast Bazaar", "Upper Kurast", "Travincal" and somehow enter "Durance of Hate".
He did that without any equipament, weapons and potions. Probably in "hardcore mode" and by being a level 1 character (as far as i know he never killed a monster, so no XP). Not to mention he did this in "Normal", "Nightmare" and "Hell" difficulty.
I don't know how bad was this place by the time he passed through, but since we are talking about Diablo 2, is hard to belived it was a good place to be.
Whether he was blessed or cursed, all I can say is that he did some impossible stuff.
Rest in peace, the most badass Rogue that ever was.
lol true. I guess i always just assumed he was under the protection of the wanderer since he followed closely behind.
@@soldieroftruth77 I really don't know if in the end he helped or screwed things up. By hidden the Baal SoulStone he keept Baal off the play, probably making easy (for the heroes) to deal with Mephisto and Diablo. But in the end (...It doesn't even matter... xD), Baal got the SoulStone anyway and corrupt the World Stone.
I never understood why he was the only one to survive in the tavern.
Renan Merighi nah... he's just drunk😂
"Feeling they couldn't trust their brothers" really? How can you not trust the lord of lies that's ridiculous lol
Rest in peace, all skipped dialogue boxes in d1 and d2. Thanks for the recap. I had no idea what the hell is happening in this universe, if it wasn't for you.
Happy to help! :D
Thanks to everyone for the positive response, means a lot after having put in a lot of time into putting this together :D
+Chrane Can you add this the diablo lore playlist you have. THANK YOU!
+Christian Rodriguez It's not on there? Thank you for informing me! I will fix that right away :D
+Chrane No problem, Are you going to explain the events from the sin war trilogy or other books?
The next two videos will be Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls. After that, it's all fair game. I will cover different characters and events. And most of that information comes from the books. So I guess I will haha
+Chrane Dont worry about the leghts of this video. its been the same for me when ive written about the lore on my blog. it was a nightmare for me. so many stories. but the worst thing is that on wiki you find even more stories and more depth to the stories. :)
The battle lasted a long time...
Meanwhile, a 12 year-old me as a Paladin trying to kill Diablo with Sacred Fire running in circles.
NOW I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE LORE OF THIS LEGENDARY GAME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE
Isn't it odd that Dekard Cain is the only "normal" mortal who fought Diablo and wasn't corrupted
Probably because he never fought him directly.
Whelp I made it about 15 mins in before I logged into Bnet to re download my diablo 2 and play.
I'm about to do the same right now. Lol.
Diablo 2 is my favorite game of all time, but it still amazes me how many people don't know about it, or only know about it because of Diablo 3.
made it 18 seconds
@@collinbond4782 true but did you play the original when you were 9 years old?
@@plutonium120 I played the Diablo 1 when I was 5 to 8, can't remember exactly when (If I were to take a guess, probably after 6).
If you're wondering what the scrolling text at 7:50 says, it reads "They look so much alike!"
yep theay soooooooo do
This isn't long at all, could listen to this for days. Thank you sir for doing these videos.
Man diablo 2 LOD really was the most incredible game. So much magic there. Loved that atmosphere and the items so much .
Yup. Love that expansion
I never understood how Tyrael could ask Marius to take the soul stone to hell and destroy it. It's not like Marius could slay the hordes of evils there in order to get to the forge.
Mr Animal Maybe he thought he would meet up with the adventurers?
It wasn't Tyrael, it was Baial's trick.
Thank you mate, i absolutely love these diablo lore videos, too bad there we're only different videos of everything, thank you so much for putting everything together.
Great video, man. Eager to watch'em all. Thanks for your hard work!
diablo 2 LoD end cinimatic, runs chills down my spine nomatter how manytimes i hear/see it.
+Evil Minion it was actualy reveald in heroes of the storm that the necromancers name is Xul
+Evil Minion Well, when time travel is invented, I'll go back and add that to the script ;)
Now i feel compelled to say there is no Dana. Only Zuul.
how was marius going to make it to the hellforge with all those demons? lol
Marius never Was going to the hell forge. He was meant to run and hide baals shard until Baal would collect it. It was part of the plan
The warrior is the eldest son of Leoric if I'm not mistaken
rene kenshin You are correct
If it was explained after D3, I ignore it.
Really awesome series of videos! Can't wait for the next one!
See, this is why I enjoyed D2 for many years, but got bored with D3 really quickly.
omg i was looking for Diablo lore ! Thank you so much ^_^
Thanks for all the work you put into this!
THANK YOU , so much for all your hard work, ABSOLUTELY LOVE what your doing ...
awesome summary... Well, as Diablos fan... I can say that you made clear any doubts that I had :)
cant wait for the next video!
According to interviews with Erich Schaefer Blizzard South was responsible for most of the story and cinematics They would work on stuff by themselves and every now and then tell Blizz North what they were up to. There were some clashes over the course the story was taking but I think in the long run they ended up benefiting from the added story.
nice video dude i hope part 4 comes soon
This brings me back to elementary school: bringing floppy discs to pubs in order to level up character saves after school with friends. It is only now that I fully understand what happened during the course of the story as I used to skip the cinematics. It would have been a strong end to the Diablo series if it did end here. Excellent synopsis, Chrane!
Thank you very much for doing this!
Dope vids bro. Thank you.
These are actually really excellent! Though in my personal opinion, it wasn't Tal' Rasha who pleaded with Marius to free him, if you get my meaning... I honestly wonder if Tal' Rasha was even, technically "there" anymore at that point.
Drinner D he must've been, seeing as there was still a struggle going on within Tal Rasha's body
These are so nicely done. Pat yourselves on the back, friends. You've got legit reason to be proud. As for me? I'm just grateful. Thank You
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed :)
according to rhykker's lore series, the "ancient barbarians guarding mount arreat" weren't really ancients, so they weren't nephalems. he stated some sources on this. which of course i forgot :D but you can easily look it up in his diablo lore videos. other then that: awesome video! thanks so much, am really enjoying these =)
Thanks for the Diablo lore.
Hey ! I doubt you’ll see this but the necromancer dlc that was recently released for diablo 3 had a comic released along with it describing the characters backstory and it turns out the character you play as in the game is the apprentice that the necromancer took on from diablo 2 !! How cool
The barbarian in D3 (at least back in beta test and the first 2 or 3 years of the game, before the expanaion and seasons and paragon levels...) Did have dialogue with Deckard Cain and Tryiel suggesting he was the same barbarian from D2.
nice job this video serie is really interessting! great job dudd
As someone who has always looked at diablo and thought about trying it but just never did for whatever reason but I'm also a person who enjoys a game that has a good amount of lore and story to it and now after listening to you actually tell a coherent version of this games story and that was not only informative but entertaining ive decided to give it a shot... thankyou for the obvious effort you put into this video series and making it easy to follow by a noobie like myself that is completely unfamiliar with the story of the game and the lore or honestly the basic story of the game that you would learn from a basic play thru of them .but like I said Ive not played any of them at all and now with 4 looking very interesting to me I was wanting to try to educate myself a bit atleast lol and I honestly probably won't start all the way back with D1 but I was thinking about trying to start with D3 and playing thru it before picking up D4 but if you happen to see this comment (I'm very much doubtful of that lol) but if so what do you think about starting with D3? I'm just being honest and I know that I'm a graphics snob and I wouldn't be able to make myself play thru that old of a game as D1 or D2 lol input?
Thank you for the very nice comment! I made these videos years ago with the exact purpose of making it easier for people to jump in exactly where they wanted to, and choose how far they wanted to catch up, so this is a really cool comment to receive.
If you've never played any of them, I would recommend starting with Diablo 2 Resurrected, and then going into Diablo 3. Mainly because of how much 2 defines the entire genre and with the Ressurected version being a graphical remake it's not nearly as painful for new eyes. It has a bit of older design philosophies (like a stamina bar that doesn't matter after level 10, just use your stats points on Vitality early) but the atmosphere, item design, classes and bosses make it all worth it.
That's just my bias speaking though, you'd be completely fine starting with D3 and it's all just a matter of opinion.
Thanks again for the nice comment, take care!
@@itsChrane thank you. I've watched almost the whole playlist now lol but I really appreciate the time and effort you have put into this and it was very helpful and I will take your advice on where to start and see how it goes lol
Thanks again for your time and work
Thank you for video!
Very cool videos, thank you
Man I'm getting back into diablo again it's too 3 series to me but I only played the 3rd one and it's contents.I watched other videos about the history of the storyline but this is by far the best so thank you I really appreciate it
Joshua Louis do it! 1 and 2. Thrn youll understand why d3 didnt live up to expectations.
You should do a quick recap of everything for Diablo 4
So did the prime evils get captured by the horadrim on purpose? Or did they think they'd be able to defeat them and steal the soulstones?
Such an amazing
GG Wirt's leg
One thing all these years that has got me completely buggered. If nephalim are so strong...how where they defeated by mere humans (the heroes)
Great stuff, great stuff. I know the whole story given that I was as passionate about diablo's lore as you are, but still watched the whole thing.
The only thing that you didn't mention is the fact that the warrior from d1 is Aidan, Leoric's son. It was a retcon afaik, but still worth mentioning and it does shed some light on his story.
+CioloXXL Yeah, Aidan's identity was a retcon, and I will talk about it when I get to the "twist" at the end of Act 3 in Diablo 3. Since that's where it feels the most relevant, and if I used his name throughout these videos, that twist would fall kinda flat
+Chrane you're right, didn't look at it from the perspective.
As a side-note though, I only wish d3's story was as enthralling as the former two's.
Great job on the series, nonetheless.
+CioloXXL I got it aaaaaaaaaall figured out ;)
Yeah, D1 and D2 both have a stronger, darker narrative. And D3 was very predictable and the lighter tone doesn't really help tying it in with the previous games.
And thank you for watching :)
Favorite video game of all time ...
I haven’t played these games and wanted some context before diving into Diablo 3 and after watching this I am infinitely more excited to play it, what amazing and dark lore. You told it really well too! Thanks a lot man
Thx very helpful!
Just to add some things. According to blizzard the Barbarian was the hero that slew diablo and it is canon that he survived the fight (eventually returning to arreat and his own people), it may be possible that he was known as Kanai but the connection there is uncertain, we do know that the barbarian present in diablo 3 is NOT the same one that slew diablo (as blizzard would have to justify the loss of said barbarians gear). Barbarian was by far the most popular class in diablo 2 (with something like 70% of all characters EVER made being barbarians) and it was because of that fact the barbarian recieved a statue of him standing triumphant atop diablo's corpse. Originally the male barbarian of d3 was intended to be the same character as the barbarian of d2 and that was initially confirmed by at least two devs, but that decision was seemingly reversed.
We also know for a fact that the Necromancer survived the battle with diablo (and potentially even the battle with baal) as it is his apprentice we encounter in A2 of d3. I'm not 100% but I believe it is mentioned that the necromancer dies of old age.
We also know for a fact that the Sorceress lives through the battle with diablo and (potentially with baal) as the wizard of d3 is trained by her... Before the Viz'jaq'taar assassin Natalya is sent after her. This is confirmed in short stories on the d3 website and by the conversation in a5 of d3 between wizard and sorceress at the pandemonium fortress.
The fates of the Paladin, Druid, Amazon and Assassin are uncertain... however it is speculated that the player character assassin in d2 was actually natalya because even though she was present in a3 the Assassin and Druid don't canonically join the group until a5 of d2.
+Syfa Loss of barbarians gear* and the different dialogue things too, so yeah.
+Syfa Because barbarian was planed as D3 character it should be safe to assume that he survived and still lives or that his fate is still undecided. I think that it would be nice if they actualy decide that in terms of canon it is same barbarian despite the ingame interactions.
+Syfa Can you give us some link to the source of this info?
Well, with Heroes of the Storm, we learn the fate of Cassia. The Necromancer does make a come back later on. But we still don't know what happened to the Druid, Assassin, and Paladin.
70% im calling bs, every mother fucker rolled a hammerdin.
wow really nice !! thx
Nice vid. Deckard. Tnk u
Thank you so much. Would be much better playing the game now.
Awesome video! I missed D2 back in the day, and playing it nowadays is kinda... Not the same. This allowed me to really understand wtf is going on in D3! Thanks!
Fantastic videos. Thank you for putting this together. I've always been lost at the lore and blindly played through the game not understanding anything, yet enjoying it all. Have you read any of the books? Did you use any of that material for your videos?
+Matt Berger Most of this information is pulled from memory and then fact checked. The first of the Diablo Lore videos is only based on book drops from D3 and the physical books. Thank you for checking out the video :)
I started D2 again and checked the servers. They're so empty! At least the spambots are alive there. *tear*
Blizzard always ahead of times with their cutscenes.
Good video :)
I am intrigued and very interested in your lower and your story thank you very much all these years that I have play Diablo it finally makes a bit more sense I even bought the soundtrack The only thing that it's missing is the music background winterial throws his sword what is the name of that song it doesn't come out in the soundtrack and when I want to buy to download it it's nowhere to be found
Idc how long it is I’m listening to it all...
Good video
Thank you so much for making these videos. I just got back from Blizzcon and wanted to give Diablo a try, but felt intimidated going straight into the third game. This recap is exactly what I wanted it to be and I’m so grateful to you for all the hard work you put into it to make it easy for beginners to follow along and understand. And stories like this are always best-told by people like you who harbor a deep love for the franchise. Thanks!!
13:30 It was at that moment when the Wanderer realized that he had fucked up.
I'll agree that the barbarians are different from Diablo 2 to Diablo 3. However at the start of production, they were going to use the same character but then switched it for the reasons you said. There is still a few lines of dialogue in the game(as of reaper of souls) that makes it seem like they are the same character. Just leftover dialogue that wasn't thoroughly checked and left in by accident.
The dark wanderer was Aidan, the warrior from the first game that defeated Diablo.
what happend with soul stone of baal? it wasnt destroyed by tyrael or by someone from the group of heroes so im wondering what happend with this stone.
Very well done. Was a pleasure listening to it. But the similarities between the story of D3, D1 and D2 are unmistakeable. Horizon=Zoltun kulle. Reaper of souls=Lord of destruction. Skeleton King = skeleton King.
Duriel, The Lord of Pain was never Mentioned By The Townsfolk of Lut Gholein or Even Deckard Cain.
Just remaster this game and I'll be happy
Bet you're happy!
Your wish has been granted
you get what yoi fucking deserve!
I remember fighting Dureil in Diablo 2, he fucking pissed me off and was so hard to defeat with the Barbarian
Thank you for doing this! After D3, are you going to do Warcraft? : )
+Michael Kozikowski After D3 I will cover specific characters and events in the Diablo Universe, but Warcraft is not an impossibility. However, Nobbel's got Warcraft down and has pretty much covered everything there is to talk about in that Universe haha
+Chrane Thanks for the reply! Keep up the good work, I will be following you each step of the way!
Thank you :D
i remember i saw a diablo 2 trailer, the wanderer was the one narrating. he was in a caravan, and while he was talking, there was a closeup on his face with the soulstone still in his forehead. then the camera shifted to the road with the soulstone, implying that it fell. been trying to look for that trailer ever since.😕😕
I think I found what you're looking for: ua-cam.com/video/o24m5u7MyU8/v-deo.html
Chrane duuuuuude, thank you.😁😁😁😁 this is exactly what i was looking for. i thot the soulstone was still lodged in his forehead.haha again, thanks man.😁 already subbed.
the text flys too fast for andareil an duriel as i have read it after 7 times trying to pause it as fast as possible it reads. they look so much alike!
Everyone is driven to madness, everyone is cursed, everyone is fucked. Sums up the story of Diablo II
This is why the game is so good
I never understood why Diablo went through the all of that just to go back to hell after act 3? I get Baal's job was to get the worldstone but why did Diablo plan his exile to leave hell but then just go right back?
Jeff Cao maybe he just wanted to do some sightseeing in the mortal realm as a tourist
so... what did it matter that the worldstone got destroyed? what changed?
Wait what part does he say mephisto gets killed at?
I figured I'd ask this before going to the next part, but I have noticed (I guess I should have asked this in the last video instead), but any information about the Hellfire expansion for Diablo 1 and the other 3 characters (If I recall, one or two you get for beating Diablo, and the other one or two you get from getting Hellfire). If I recall, it was a Bard (Same picture if I recall as the Rogue), a Barbarian, and a Monk. I figured I'd ask, as it wasn't mentioned so far in this one or the last.
Diablo Hellfire wasn't developed by Blizzard and is not considered canon, so that's why there's no mention of it :)
@@itsChrane Ah, ok, thanks.
I couldn't find the name of the Barbarian, so I fuck it, he's Worusk, the 2nd immortal king.
Sorcerer Sandra got killed, if you play as the Wizard in D3, before killing Maltheal, Sandra’s soul appears
So what’s the story like why are they fighting and what’s there goal
So only an angel can contain a daemon soul stone without going mad... agony though it may be?!?
Wow.. looking for Diablo lore and accidentally finding out that Li Ming is not just a character in Heroes of the storm, pulled out of someones arse!
I think Tyrael ask desperately ask Marius because he didnt know there were Champions plus he is busy fighting Diablo and Baal so he really doesnt have any choice at that time.
Do you know what happened to Natayla aftet diablo 2?
Hey what about diablo hellfire. Isn’t it relavent to the main story? Just asking.
That was developed by an outside company and is completely non cannon.
And now with Diablo Immortal out we kno it takes place between the events of D2 and D3 where they retcon it so the shards of the worldstone did actually rain down on Sanctuary and spread corruption everywhere and that’s where we begin the Diablo Immortal story in the timeline
So who do you play as?
The prime evils,lords of hell,the evil gods of their land,couldn't see a guy hiding behind a pillar? Wtf
i think you mean THE greatest game of all time
i dont know witch games lore is better legacy of kain or diablo but i think lok wins
both are very well thought stories
Diablo II is a fantastic game but fuck Act 3 with a rusty spoon. I hate Kurast.
why is the druid not there
I wish they revealed more what happened to heroes from Diablo 2....
if your gear was good he probably lived a long and happy life, if you had trash gear he probably died from some gg monster with crazy ability combination or server lag
franchstar1 lmao
I am not trying to say; "Diablo 3 sucks". I enjoyed it a lot and still playing causally. However 17:02 is the thing that is missing in Diablo 3 in terms of dark atmosphere
I always get sad that Moreina was corrupted by Andariel and turned into Blood Raven, and that we had to kill her. She was my favourite in Diablo I, the character I played (and still play) the most. Diablo I in my opinion was the best of the three.
yeah, all the characters that first fought Diablo in D1 met a gruesome end, just goes to show you that the power of a Prime Evil and the burning Hells is not joke, even the strongest of warriors can be corrupted and driven mad by what they see, D1 will always be best, wish they would make a remastered edition of it using the D3 engine like they did for SC1
I always thought the Rogue's real name is Blood Raven. Or is it just a gimmick given to Moreina by her fellow rogues.
Nah, D2 has the better story, music, graphics, gameplay, pretty much everything.
10:24 sry bro but Natalia is assasin not demon hunter...
diablo 3 corrupted the story of the 2 prime games.... it was his plan all along...
hahahahahahaha xD trolololol
Natalia was an Assasin not a Deamon Hunter, You got to mention the Help - Rouges, Mercenaries and Iron Wolves.
13:30 that's how my mother was born..
