Small town communities man, if you've ever lived in a town with less than 1,000 people there aren't really any strangers you know at least one person from every other family. Oh and as Shad said living through hell doesn't hurt either. lol
Before I watch this video, I just have to say: I LOVE how much you use the footage from that old Dorkly video for your "downfall of Tristram" videos. Gives me a good old nostalgic chuckle every time I see one of those clips!
I always liked to believe Griswold may have lived in Tristram for a long time but he came from somewhere else due to his accent, he was my favorite npc in Diablo 1 and I always felt sad that I had to kill him in Diablo 2. Thank you for making another great video, I look forward to the other npcs
I've been moving stuff since Thursday and today is the day I got my internet back on. New Dark LORE Dash video? Thank you sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
Griswold's Egde is a legendary weapon that will never fall out of favor in Diablo 1 & 3!

CJOmega actually had a neat headcanon that likes fits in nicely, i like to also think that Griswold used to try to become a Paladin in his youth, but sadly could not, but his resolve speaks for itself. He would have been one badass Paladin Blacksmith.
Alas, griswold. We go way back. Got my first gatling from him, defeating diablo wasnt difficult afterwards. I actually heard he created the basic designs for the photonman in age of empires
Honestly the remaster is even better than the original. Same game, same feel, but updated and improved skills and interactions. Definitely worth it imo @@ManDuderGuy
Alright, now I've watched it. I do like the idea that Griswold suffers from a similar punishment as Leoric - that they alone had the piety and mental fortitude to resist the temptations of the Evils, so they suffered in death when the Evils could not claim them in life. The in-game lore's not really there for it, though. With the Andariel quest being cut from D1 and her character being reworked from a succubus who is cut down by the hero to a Lesser Evil in D2 (who is cut down be a new hero), the finalized timeline doesn't really open up a lot of space for her to have tried to lure Griswold. I think he's probably raised in D2 by Andariel for 2 reasons: 1. Meta: it's a tongue-in-cheek reference by the developers to their original plans for Andariel's character 2. In-universe: Diablo hates Griswold for his involvement in D1 and commands Andariel to make him suffer in death.
I always though Griswold the Blacksmith was a dwarf. But then later found that diablo does not have any dwarfs. I was devastated when I found that out.
Great video as always Dash, thank you. There's a little audio fault when you speak about the Griswold set items. You stop mid sentence and begin over. Think it's just editing. 😊 And no, D4's story couldn't mean less, to me.
Because he wants to get her out of town and to safety? She's young enough to be his daughter, reads more paternal instincts kicking in for a young woman who doesn't have many other people looking out for her to me.
I'm remembering well the first encounter with Diablo II Tristram section, and seeing the ones safe village is in fire. First thing I thinked, okay God, where is that witch Adria, let me have her head, I'm pretty sure, she was behind, and I will need a blacksmith, so let's find Griswold. Then you see Wirt's body, later Ogden's dead body, plus facing Griswold himself, who was Diablo 1's heroes best friend, now is a zombie. In that enviroment it was pure destruction and nightmare for Diablo 1 veterans. The days when Blizzard was telling hardcore stories, not creating cheap fairy tales, which are worse, then Wirt's items and prices.
I would love a video like this too, just a short video of the history of Diablo like how Cain and his Horadric group and all the neat things they did like Seal the Prime Evils, be Historians of the world, and made the all powerful Horadric Cube that can turn 2 arrows into bolts, and 2 bolts into arrows...
Are you ever going to continue that Diablo 2 Resurrected story playthrough with the necromancer? I just watched the entire first act and was looking for more but only found the older version.
What mods are being used? Would like to try them myself. * EDIT* I apologize I wrote this originally while watching the video, One of those moments where I should have just watched the whole thing before making my comment.. That said what other mods do you use? It seems that its more than just Belzebub mod
It's an interesting idea, I wouldn't exactly call it edgy though. Sadly more than a few people were offended by the idea so I guess he chose to leave the theory crafting out this time.
8:14-8:30 Farnham: Griswold? Good old Griswold. I love him like a brother. We fucked together you know, back when... we... Lazarus....Lazarus... Lazarus!!!.
Man these villagers sure do love their fellow villagers.
There's a little snark sprinkled in 😅
I suppose its not that surprising, you survive that long together you're probably going to bond over the experience.

Griswold really deserved a better fate. Sadly none in Sanctuary can escape evil's taint!
If it makes you feel better, killing his zombie is what he would have wanted.
Yknow you don’t have to kill him right? lol I always leave him as the last mob alive and “run away”
@@catlinkerswell3696his drops are trash so ya no need to kill him
He always gave us a hearty greeting, and did what he could do for us.
"Well, what can I do fer ye?!" Not a kinder man can be found in Tristram!
*ahem* hello friend! Stay a while and listen 😅
Stay a while and comment.
Sephiroth could have saved everyone
He was my favourite character in starwars the last blacksmith
I knew Griswalds cousin Clarke. Good man. Liked Walley World a bunch... Nice family too.
@@NV..V cousin is kinda a loopy feller though. I remember seeing him empty out his shitter in my street runoff one year
Good man.
Let's have a drink for our fallen OG Tristram friends
Your videos are so well done, my friend. Thanks for the new video, i always love brushing up on my diablo lore.
love love love your diablo content! keep it coming!
I've been moving stuff since Thursday and today is the day I got my internet back on. New Dark LORE Dash video? Thank you sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
Thanks, Grinnar! Hope moving treated you well
Grawzwalkd was my fave alien in starwars the last blacksmith. Episode 1 the fall of Tristram

Untold until now thanks to you
That’s a big mushroom
My wife said small ..hmmm. Back to Diablo
That's not such big mushroom!
I've never seen a mushroom that SIIIIIZE.
Remember playing battle net and ended with a dual welding barbarian with griswolds edge and azuarffs wrath
Alas, griswold. We go way back. Got my first gatling from him, defeating diablo wasnt difficult afterwards. I actually heard he created the basic designs for the photonman in age of empires
I have og diablo on ps1 never played d2 till the remake and i entered blind when i reached tristam that was heart breaking never knew
I started playing D2 again cause of these videos. D1 was amazing but in today’s world it is just to slow for me to play anymore
Thinking about getting that there remastered version..
Honestly the remaster is even better than the original. Same game, same feel, but updated and improved skills and interactions. Definitely worth it imo @@ManDuderGuy
@BusinessSkrub thx bro

You are amazing Sir. Well done. Thank you.
I always though Griswold the Blacksmith was a dwarf. But then later found that diablo does not have any dwarfs. I was devastated when I found that out.
🤣
After his death he reincarnated as an ogre in another world.
I can fall asleep listening to you’re New Jersey accent
Tristram definitely has all the Family Dollars..
Great video as always Dash, thank you. There's a little audio fault when you speak about the Griswold set items. You stop mid sentence and begin over. Think it's just editing. 😊 And no, D4's story couldn't mean less, to me.
That original Griswold looks a thousand times better than the one that came a decade later
In all seriousness Diablo 1 my boy griswald
Thanks for all the videos you put together, also wouldn't it e cool if Adria could imbu weapons with magic
I remember you covering this a few years ago and implied something else a the end for Ole Grissy 😂 we told you he was sweet on Gillian!
Because he wants to get her out of town and to safety? She's young enough to be his daughter, reads more paternal instincts kicking in for a young woman who doesn't have many other people looking out for her to me.
man the golem in the remastered looks so buff :DDD
Coming up next. How spending money on skins helps expand the lore!

Retrieve a whole .. ANVIL!!? Wdym !! One whole forge!?
Should do d4 just got to see what happened to caldeum and the place where they started. Was awesome to see.
I only remember griswold because his punch always amplified damage me lol
Can you do a Diablo faction vid?
There are too many factions with silly names and I just can't keep track of them all.
I would love a video like this too, just a short video of the history of Diablo like how Cain and his Horadric group and all the neat things they did like Seal the Prime Evils, be Historians of the world, and made the all powerful Horadric Cube that can turn 2 arrows into bolts, and 2 bolts into arrows...

0:22 yoooo where's that from
From Dorkly Diablo video
@@ERuleAmirul holy shit i forgot i've watched this years ago.
@@dimitar4y at first I thought it was from How it should have ended (HISHE), but I suddenly remembered Dorkly channel
This version is better than the previous one, thanks for editing out the wrong information.
No worries. Was more of a guess but people didn't love it 😬
@@DarkLOREDash This one is lovable! I always enjoy your storytelling, keep it up!
Was the d1 on the video the remastered? playing through the gog ver and its just annoying traversing the dungeon
If it's a mod what's the mod
My favorite channel, this is my first introduction to Diablo and tbh I am obsessed with
Kings Sword of Speed. Memoryflash from a better time.
What mods are being used? Would like to try them myself.
* EDIT* I apologize I wrote this originally while watching the video, One of those moments where I should have just watched the whole thing before making my comment.. That said what other mods do you use? It seems that its more than just Belzebub mod
Im really sorry if this sounds invasive but can you please tell your pc configuration?👉👈
I'd rather have a complete remake of this game rather than get a Diablo 5
Hmm, was that a dorkly diablo bit at the start there?
You should do some PoE2 videos brother
I always thought Diablo wanted to be defeated in 1 by someone strong to possess
The whole thing being an elaborate trap to get a decent host could absolutely work.
As of this exact moment (9:45 Mtn, 12/17/24) i cannot, and im sorry, like this video as it will raise the likes from 666 to 667.
Ya wanna re record that?
Nice
Was Mike Myers a Diablo player? Lol
Feh, Diablo ended with II.
Budddddddyyyyy! 👍
🕶️🐹🔪. .
First comment??
Second
Congrats
Not even Death can save you from First Comment...
Congrats :D
Diablo 3 and 4 are trash, imo, and shouldn't be considered canon...
Except they are. Sticking your head in the sand won't change that.
@shadenox8164 oh, I know, unfortunately. Another casualty of blizzard
I like the "Griswold is gay" idea from your other video. Makes it a bit more edgy. I think his "plan" was to court Pepin.
It's an interesting idea, I wouldn't exactly call it edgy though. Sadly more than a few people were offended by the idea so I guess he chose to leave the theory crafting out this time.
8:14-8:30
Farnham: Griswold? Good old Griswold. I love him like a brother. We fucked together you know, back when... we... Lazarus....Lazarus... Lazarus!!!.
