Some of the canon Nephalem names were announced after this video was made. Mostly from Blizzard adding them into Heroes of the Storm. Which is why some of them are missing in the actual video. I am not a time traveler, no matter how much I wish I was.
I actually regret stating my opinions on some plot points and characters through-out the video, and wish I would've held off until the very end of the video.
Once again, not a time traveler.
Thank you for watching :)

Fuck you for cheering Leah's death
was Yaa
is
its Johanna, Li - Ming, Valla, Sonya, Kharazim, Nazeebo, and the lady necro is Secre. the male cru is Roland, the male mage is kai and the female monk is Ulianna .. at least thats the names they had from the shorts
Leah not believing her uncle Cain's stories is cute and all, but what about ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE who saw the slaughters with their own eyes? It was only 20 years ago. It's like your grandpa telling you about WW2 and you're like "haha good old crazy grandpa"
very good point. It's so silly
It's more like the stories in the bible occurring 20 years ago and people not believing it, which guaranteed, there were PLENTY of people who didn't believe those stories either.
Well let’s consider the total slaughter, so very few people have survived and are witnesses, plus, this is not a real world, and even in the real-world people tent to do not talk about bad things, because bringing these memories make you feel bad and even might put you into depression (WW2 is bad comparison). And pretty much many of them were adults, so 20 years is quite enough. In addition, she was grown by her uncle who is 100% nerdy-diablo-story-lover, who with high probability was avoiding people ‘writing a scenario for diablo 3’, thus she had not many people around to talk to. Seriously, in the beginning he’s in the old cathedral, wherein he stayed for who knows how long. So, it depends on your position in filling the story gaps.
Of course this story isn’t perfect, but should it be to fascinate us?;)You can either enjoy it or disassemble into imperfections, it’s up to you to decide.
tristram had no witnesses of the slaughter except for adria and cain and it is assumed she never went to the locations in diablo 2 so she couldn't have know except from cain
Electrickoolaid A like the Jedi being a myth (twice) even tho it had just happened lol
"Besides putting up a great fight, he was defeated"
*Gets oneshotted*
Man oh man, how can I still have goose bumps every time I watch the Tyrael renegades to the Angels scene? Damn. So good.
If there's one thing that pissed me off it was Cain's death. That man has been through some shit and he died from a lackey of all things. He could have at least been killed by a formidable foe, like one of the evils.
He gets offed by a butterfly lady. I'm still mad.
Chrane I agree with Tyrael being turned back into an angel as well. He had this feeling of omnipotence as Archangel of Justice. It felt as if you would absolutely win if he was on your side. Not to mention he just looked cooler. As a human he feels kind of worthless as a companion, almost a hindrance..
Wasn't he killed by the shockwave of Leah's power manifesting?
Totlethegreat No, that was too far away. He died from the stress of butterfly magic on what has to be at this point, the body of an 80 year old man.
Is this a meme because she clearly manages to hit both the guy binding Tyreal and the guy guy binding Cain?
I think a big part of what makes it cartoonish is that you have all the bad guys explain in explicit detail what their intentions, motives and plans are. In d1 and d2 they made a good job of the villains being relatively silent and then instead have Deckard Cain do the grunt work of explaining the bad guys intentions.
This.. is just really cheesy at times :/
Also, what's up with the disney music in the last cutscene?
I guess your right but still I enjoyed Diablo 3
This perfectly sums up the major qualm my brother and I had with D3. During our entire play through we were perpetually disappointed by the yapping of every "villain" in the game, from butterfly woman to Diablo herself.
Hey, Azmodan, stfu!
Aside from the apparent cheesy ness the game was a blast to play.
What kind of username is anal fabrics lmao
Azmodan is not actually talking to Leah when he talks to Leah. He recognized her as Diablo's vessel and was speaking to Diablo. That's why he says one by one OUR brethren have fallen into your trap.
He was speaking to whatever hidden portion of Diablo was in her which allowed Diablo to be the primary personality of the seven when she was fused with the Soul Stone
CustodialFather in Texas this makes that cinematic so much better. Wow
T Manor
Thanks, just took me 5 years to realize it. 😁
CustodialFather in Texas makes the story line seem as if we need more analysis, maybe we’re missing some good stuff.
You just made this cutscene so badass
Hmm, I need to re look at that particular scene now...thanks!
Those cinematics of the high heavens give me goosebumps every time. "You cannot judge me, I am justice ITSELF."
I was pissed that a DLC to save Leah's soul wasn't released. They just left her soul to suffer. The barbarian wouldn't have let that go.
I very distinctly remember Leah turning into Diablo and me turning off the game once the cutscene was over and not coming back to it for weeks.
That look Tyrael gives Leah when she says to him "What do you know about sacrifice" and Tyrael look at her like" bitch do you know who I am"?
To be honest it would have made more sense if Cain was brought back as the angel of wisdom.
"Stay a while in the high heavens and listen"
Hey I hope you're going to continue this series with Diablo IV
Same
Diablo IV is the new Half life 3
Me too…plus If any of the story in Diablo Immortal ends up considered as canon u should do a video on that as well since it takes place between the events of D2 and D3
12:56 I like how Leah's arm is the size of one of Tyrael's fingers
He's totally human
About an hour ago, this video was claimed by the so called MCN "Illustrated Sound Music".
They claimed the music in the scene at 7:55 - 9:07
They obviously own nothing in this video.
They've also claimed videos from hundreds, if not thousands of other creators at this point.
They claim it's a "bug" but it seems more likely that they dumped the entire library of "Gustavo Canine Games" into the Copyright Matching System, since this is the channel through which they're doing the claims.
Their statement reads that it's a bug and this will all be resolved in 24-48 hours, and in the meantime we should all dispute the claims.
But they're still claiming more and more videos, while saying they're fixing it.
I've pressed X to doubt so many times, my hands hurt.
I know this doesn't really affect your viewing experience of the video, thankfully, but I still think it's worth informing you on what's going on behind the scenes.
Hopefully this gets resolved soon, otherwise I'll just have to wait for those 30 days they have to dispute my counter claim to expire.
The future is now, and right now I just want to go to bed.
Screw this.
They just claimed the video AGAIN.
This time for the timestamp: 10:24 - 13:45
This is insane.
Can this "MCN" please just get removed from the platform?
They claimed Part 5 while I was sleeping.
The video is now free again, thankfully.
What a mess.
If the dark wanderer was Aiden, son of Leoric, and Leah was his daughter, then Leah is the crown princess of Khanduras! And since Diablo was possessing her fathers Body, she is also Heir to the Burning Throne! All Hail the Queen!
The female crusader's name is Johanna, as per Heroes of the Storm.
The guy hiding in the barrel was the funniest part for sure.
Excellent job on explaining the story. Darn shame about Cain and Leah, it still bothers me that they are gone now, and that Tyreal remained human. There are rumors that a fourth game of Diablo, hopefully things will go greater then.
Ian Rivera and now, we get diablo immortal for mobile games.
@@christopherchuauhang4829 We'll get Diablo 4 soon. Hopefully it'll bring us the fight against Tiamat/Talphomet and put this all to close.
That Azmodan one-shot made me lol.
OHHH, been waiting for this one, keep up the EXCELLENT JOB on THIS PARTICULAR LORE SERIES
+Ron Joseph Thank you very much! I'll do my best! :D
The main problem i had with Diablo 3 was the story. They went from dropping story in a few places and leaving a lot up to the imagination. To having the prime evils spouting dialog like they were in an episode of scooby doo. Not to mention plot holes galore. It was a pretty piss poor job in their writing department.
Secondly the first and second games had a dark and eerie feeling. They were a lot darker graphics wise and things would often surprise you by shooting off screen or out of view. Diablo 3's graphics are a lot lighter, you can see everything going on. Takes away a lot of the atmosphere the first 2 games had going for them.
Meiru Lu I'd like to hear some of these complaints you have. As the story is pretty ridiculously in depth to be on par with scooby doo.
And you completely contradict yourself saying they never dropped plot and left it up to imagination, and then state there are plot holes (which i don't see) i thought you were supposed to use your imagination?
@@monsieurorleans1329 Eww..Play Diablo 1. Adria is NOT that young....
@@ZeroX7649 rofl I don't think that mattered to them, they just wanted a vessel for Diablo but dam she getting that D from Diablo, her vagina must be burning if he is giving her the D I still remember his flame attacks from the first and second game XD
Man, thanks for making this enjoyable to listen and watch, i never thought the lore was THAT amazing.Now i deeply wish that ,one day, they will make a movie about diablo. You sir have my gratittude.
So glad I found this! Watched all the 4 videos back to back and this is hands down the best Diablo lore video series out there. Can't wait for the RoS video! Keep it up man!
+adno96 Thank you very much! I guess you'll be happy to know that RoS comes out tomorrow, then! haha
+Chrane Man I couldn't time finding this better, also thanks for making me unable to sleep by all the excitement! haha
haha, don't you worry, there's still roughly 16 hours before the video goes up. Get some sleep!
a love your diablo lore stuff, the voice, music and pictures are amazing
really cool
How did Diablo 1 character have such closure while diablo 2 characters got none!!!!
they were 3 in d1, 7 in d2. i think it's that simple.
None? Necromancer lives on and even took on an apprentice (who you meet in Diablo 3). Thanks to HotS, we also know his real name was Xul. The Assassin became a Demon Hunter trainer and is responsible for the next era of heroes. The Sorceress also took to training others and is the mentor of Li-Ming (canonical D3 Sorceress and also a HotS hero). The Amazon from D2 is also a hero in HotS. If her story there is to be believed, her real name is Cassia and she went back to their secluded homeland, alive and victorious.
There are a few things here that you need to consider. First, the timeframe >> D1 around 1996, D2 around 2000, D3 around 2012. Not only were D1 and D2 closer together and with most of the same dev/team/company intact, D3 came over a decade later and was a borderline departure from the previous two. D1's characters got closure as there were fewer of them and the sequel was relatively fresh, timewise. D3 came out so much later and under a completely different development lens where I'm surprised they even bothered to recognize one character, nevermind give closure to ALL of them. The only reason the Necro got attention is because he was the most popular and frequently demanded, so they added one to D3.
Coz the guys who did d1 and d2 weren't in d3 anymore. Prolly Why the game and story was sloppy.
Love the videos. I always loved the lore of Diablo, but it's tough to keep track of. Well done, sir.
sweet, just watched your videos a while ago from diablo pre story until this part... oh God, its been 20 years? time flies so fast. can't wait for the reaper of souls! :D
Great video! No Deckard Cain no peace!
great vids man!
wow... thanks for making them ..
loved the series ...awsome
it's my favorite game too.. tough i played 1 and 2 only.
but you my friend enlightened me.
34:50 "And cast down the Prime Evil forever"
Or about a month until Reaper of Souls happens lol
What blows my mind is that Azmodan knew Leah's purpose all along.
Azmodan is not actually talking to Leah when he talks to Leah in her Dream that Tyrael pulls her out of. He recognized her as Diablo's vessel and was speaking to DIABLO. That's why he says one by one OUR brethren have fallen into your trap.
He was speaking to whatever hidden portion of Diablo was in her which allowed Diablo to be the primary personality of the seven when she was fused with the Soul Stone.
Otherwise, Azmodan would have said, "One by one, MY brethren", not "OUR BRETHREN".
I just recently realized this and couldn't find anyone else who had pointed this out.
CustodialFather in Texas keen observation skills.
saw poeple pointing out this the month of release of diablo, i first did not think he was talking to leah, but did not guess it to be diablo for my first play. not being negative just pointing it out from your last sentance. great work anyway hope D4´s story is better!
There is a journal from Adria from her hut in Act 1 that gives "The Wanderer" a name. Aidan. They bumped uglies the night of the celebration of Diablo's defeat from Diablo 1 - conceiving Leah. (Ah, I see she mentions the name as well in the Act 3 cutscene.)
Awesome Diablo lore videos, my friend. Watched all of them back to back. Hope you do the Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls (expansion pack) lore too. Cheers
+Rejoy Panakkal Thank you for watching! Yes, I've been re-writing the script for RoS a few times now, but it should be out fairly soon!
Hip hip hurray. Your are our very own UA-cam Horadric Scholar in the lines of Deckard Cain, explaining the lore, stories and all
"despite putting up a good fight" and you literally one hit him lolol, jk good video man thx for helping me with the lore since i'm still new to the game
Now there are other TWO adventurers. Two priests of Rathma
cain... it just is not the same type of game without hearing the words "stay a while and listen" and haveing free identifys (first game it wasnt, cain is generous the second one.)
Damn tyrael's a fricking beast. Best archangel imo
Actually I think Leah was the only one who believed Deckard Cain was alive while the rest of the towns folks believed him dead.
Side note:
"Leah is dead, yes" :(
I was horribly devastated by what happened to Leah. I really do hope there will be some resolve to what happened to her soul.
+zxzx “eztarg3t” zxz Leah is by far my least favorite character in the Diablo series. "When this is all over, I'm going to open a tavern." That's great, I'm busy fighting demons right now though. "Demons aren't real, Uncle Deckard." Can't hear you Leah, there's demons trying to kill me.
+Chrane That's fair enough. After playing the story several times, I did note that they really were pushing for people to like Leah which is something you should avoid doing. But I was willing to overlook those minor things and still like her, regardless.
+Chrane her disbelief is a bit much in the beginning
"Oh Uncle Deckard. You and your crazy stories lol....."
BITCH THE DEAD ARE WALKING THE EARTH. I THINK WE CAN THROW LOGIC OUT THE WINDOW FOR NOW.
Not to mention the reveal of her strength is full-on DBZ tier cheese. I immediately thought of Gohan when I saw that and laughed my ass off.
I feel the need to point this out. Seeing the undead walking the earth probalby wouldn't phase Leah simply because the Undead are not seen as unnatural in the world of Sanctuary. Seeing A pack of zombies are on par with seeing a pack of hungry wolves. This was even pointed out during a blizzcon event when Jesse Cox asked this very question.
When you see the undead roaming around one would probably think, "Shit, gravedigger dug up the wrong grave." The magical and supernatural are very much part of the world of Sanctuary.
So now taking that into account when a supposed meteor crashes into a cathedral, that had an underground mausoleum, then seeing a bunch of zombies shambling around afterwords wouldn't really scream, "END OF THE WORLD, END OF THE WORLD" when it's something almost expected to happen.
+zxzx “eztarg3t” zxz but if the supernatural is commonplace, why is the divine such a far jump from what she appears to be ordinary?
it just doesn't sit right with me you know?
Well done, good stuff.
☺♥ man i love u for this story . i even did not play the game but i wanted to hear the story so tnx alot
That entire family's story is a heartbreaking one!!
Good job dude!
how did diablo just willy nilly open a portal to the high heavens? lol
Is it only me or does the ''new'' Diablo looks like hydralisk/Kerrigan simbiot ?
That could explain why the "new" Diablo kinda looks a bit like he has boobs in the cutscene involving his fight with Imperius...
@@stardustcomet4714 he also created his form from a female host, instead of the 2 males he had previously before.
You mean... Diablo is TRANS?
Probably due to having all six other evils within?
@@therencepalino8111 technically, demons and angels (at least outside Diablo) are neither.
Are you the voice actor for Simon in Cry of Fear? If not you sound EXACTLY like him... great videos by the way, thank you for explaining one of my favorite games!
Thanks for this
Good job man, ur the best
+Rodrigo Augusto bassani Thank you very much :D
I love scoundrel, he's so funny.
WOAH WAIT A MINUTE! WE PLAYED AS LEORIC'S SON?!
THE SKELETON KING WAS OUR DAD!
*OUR DAD*
Great videos
Really pay attention to the dialogue between Tyrael and Imperius. It's some of the most contrived writing I've ever heard.
I could listen to the song all day
Tyrael: I’m gonna turn myself into a motral.
Imperius: That’s not enough of a handicap.
Tyrael: I’m gonna be black.
Imperius: Much better.
Can you imagine how disappointing Tyrael was when he looked in the mirror and saw that he was black.
I kid.
I've been playing the games in the Diablo franchise since 1996, back when everyone was using dial-up modems. You're right, of course, there IS no Diablo without Deckard Cain. He's the first person (or almost the first if you went for Griswold or something) you talk to in Diablo I. He's there every step of the way in Diablo II. But in Diablo III ... in Act One, no less ... he's killed by butterflies.
Notwithstanding the opinion, shared by many, that this was the stupidest death scene in video gaming history (and not even a cut-scene, but done within the game itself ... who the heck decided that CAIN of all people didn't rate a cut-scene?), what the hell did it gain the writers? Was the story somehow improved by that? I know the trope, of course; old mentor dies so the hero can step up. But that doesn't hold water, here. They should never have done it in the first place, the story doesn't need it. He's just *there* in the world of Diablo. Of course, this is the same group who decided to make every villain sound so over-the-top even a five-year old kid could tell the bad guys from the good guys ...
Anyway, to your question, Chrane. Not sure I care too much about Tyreal and angel-ness, but yes, Cain should certainly be brought back EARLY in the next installment. I want to say I don't even care how they do it, but I'd better not say that. Knowing the modern Blizzard they'll screw that up, too. I'd prefer him to remain mortal, however, so he can stand around in town like he always has. Why? Why NOT? Lol the fans love him, screw logic, just bring him back.
Oh, and please let them hire a real writer who knows dialogue and how all the characters in the game should speak to each other and to the character (if they even need to; there was WAY too much of that in DIII). George Lucas himself probably couldn't have messed up Diablo III's tone any worse than it was; they desperately need to go back to the drawing board and recreate the magic of Diablo II. They should also hire David Brevik to let him work on it; not be in charge, he wouldn't want that, just have him brainstorm and come up with ideas and things.
Did they hire amateurs to do the voice acting in Diablo 3? Leahs voice acting was unbearable.
@@NyoAtype I didn't care so much about voice acting I just wish Cain didn't die. I would've been okay with it had the game setup Leah to take his place. But they don't. They go the stupid route.
"Kill the past" -Kylo Ren probably, Disney princess
and the nephalem open a portal to the shadow realm where its time to du du du duel!
2 best moments for me is seeing Azmodan’s death where a ray of blood splits. Then it’s my first time seeing the act 3 monster worm thing that vomits troops. Act 3 in general is really good.
D3 really did some strange stuff story wise. By killing Cain, I think Blizzard was saying that they weren't going to be making any more diablo games. Oh yeah, I think the only guy who wasn't mentioned was the monk from the expansion pack of D1?
Imagine theres a nuke explosion leaving few humans and forgot about religion, then they find Diablo lore's and it will be a new religion.
I love diablo story it's really interesting and awesome
THANK YOU! How can you have a Diablo game without Deckard FREAKING Cain!
For a second it sounded like I was listening to a Warhammer 40k story. lol The Emperor Protects! We are Chaos Undivided!
angels and deamons nvr die they just re-appear in heaven or hell respectively after some time passed
thanks for the video! I liked Deckard in D2 just to identify objects, not so much in D3.
+Kim Ber Yeah, but Deckard Cain is the guy you can count on to be there every time. He stayed with you in D1, traveled across sanctuary and even to the edge of hell itself in D2, literally going to hell and back with the player, and then in D3 he just... dies. By butterflies.
Zoltan Kule is one of my favorit video game characters of all times ❤️
Omg thank you Cain I miss you buddy
I would like to see Deckard come back as a ghost to guide the new heroes in Diablo 4, which I assume would take place hundreds or even thousands of years later. Tyreal should become the Archangel of Justice again, and Deckard could maybe earn his way up the ranks (maybe the fact that he helped save the universe basically) to become the new angel of wisdom.
And then they can kill him with a spirit butterfly at the end of Act 3
Now there's diablo 4 and I'm here reminiscing 😭
Soon (TM)
“And now, that nobody is around me for me to be speaking to other than the player of this game, I will enter heaven as it is my master plan, the plan that I have never been able to complete but now I can because I have all of the evils within me due to the past events of better games!”
Here to add new comments on a four year old video, thanks to the Diablo 4 reveal...
First, wonderful job on these lore videos... being a newer fan who came into the series only playing Diablo 3 and now working on understanding the full breadth of the lore of all the games, these videos have been invaluable. So thank you for putting in the time and effort to bring these into being!
Having seen it all now, I do understand why so many people are down on Diablo 3 compared to the other games... the villains’ plot expositions are really hamfisted and tend to center around how something “will be theirs”, and Deckard’s death is hard to take coming in the game with the obviously weaker writing and plot. But at the same time, since I don’t have quite the emotional attachment to the previous two games I don’t feel the disappointment quite as much. This still feels like a logical continuation of the first two games and the previously established lore... and with the Reaper of Souls included, you pretty much remove the thing which feels the most tonally dissonant with everything that came before (that whole “light triumphs over darkness” ending).
I can also accept Cain’s death here more, probably because again I don’t have the greater attachment to him built by the first two games... ultimately, he is a chronicler and not a mighty warrior; up until Diablo 3, he rarely interacts directly with the actual plot of those games but merely “hangs out” with the heroes, gives some advice and writes of their exploits. It stands to reason that when directly assaulted by a boss-level minion of one of the prime evils, being a knowledgeable but otherwise normal human who was already an old man when we first met him years and years ago, it isn’t a point of shame for him to perish in that encounter... and as we often talk about the deceased, he lives on through his writings. Considering the amount of his books we all find scattered all over creation, I still hear his voice much more than any other character in that game, living or dead... probably even more than my own character’s voice. ^_^
Here’s my own weird theory from analyzing all of this information... much like Tyrael gaining a mortal form, what if Deckard Cain was some sort of mortal manifestation of Malthael? Certainly I can’t think of a character who more completely exemplifies a seeker of wisdom more than Cain, and even though Malthael doesn’t go completely missing until after the end of Diablo 2... Tyrael does describe Malthael as being alone or away from the Council a lot even before that. Perhaps if Cain is some strange aspect of Malthael, Cain’s death and thus Malthael’s “first-hand” experience of that might be what leads him down the path to the Reaper of Souls.
Probably completely wrong, but I thought it interesting enough to put to text... feel free to use other bits of canonical lore to disprove it if you’d like. Either way, Diablo 3 was still engaging enough for me to enjoy it on its own and then come seek out the full story in order to prepare for Diablo 4... which at least in its origins looks like a return to form for the series.
Thank you
The Nephalem shot first :P
how did you make 40min lore video from max 3h gameplay ?
Imperious as a hero in heroes of the storm
I find it odd that Diablo, within Leah, wouldn't just refer to himself as Taphomet (end of Act 3). As that was what the being was called the last time all 7 evils were 1 entity.
I love the videos but could you do future ones wothout cutscenes? They're cool n all but for those that only want to listen for the story don't get anything from it
12:55 we're not gonna talk about how Tyrael keeps changing his size? How big is he?
Isnt the barbarian canonically the female one and is called Sonja(/Sonya)?
Please please please add subtitles for diablo 4 and immortal if you plan on doing them!!
Good job bro i like it. Now i can play diablo 4. I saw Lilith design and i am all over that. I am so glad they didnt give her F cups that would cover her face. I love her already lol i hope the game will be good.
Best video yet, man! Definitely need Cain, and mortal running heavens security team without wings doesn't seem like a good fit. Dude needs his wings back.
The story sounds weak compared to its predecessors.
It is, sadly.
What's next after the prime evil?
*despite putting a good fight...*
demon is defeated with 1 shot
Did Deckard Cain also have to be rescued in the first Diablo?
[I never finished it, my older brother did and cannot remember regardless.]
(37:40) Yeah why not; save Deckard Cain (from death etc.) yet again.
high key the real great victory for men and angels when Leah died jesus she was awful, wish I could’ve thanked diablo for that
What if Decard was also a nephalam being the only "normal" mortal who could understand the eternal conflict and wouldn't his soul find its way to malthael?
Dang so Diablo banged it out with Adria? How tf did that work? I'm just picturing that one scene from "This Is The End" lol
For everyone hysteric, Deckard Cain is still alive. This is just a non-cannon comics.
There were Butcher demons in Act 3 of Diablo. We already knew at this point that there was more than one of them.
who is that at 35:59 ? ( the one tyrael is facing )
I look at Diablo 3 and can't help but still feel a sense of sadness, when Diablo lost something so important, it's art style and identity.
Dude the Barb is the same one from Diablo II - Blizzard themselves confirmed it
Diablo dying in the last cinematic made me feel sorry for him. Damn feels. :(
This is like a Supernatural episode script .
Me: Zoltun Kulle
UA-cam subtitles: Zoltun Cool
It knows
How can there even be a Diablo when his soul stone was destroyed in the hell forge in Diablo 2? Same applies to all the prime evils. Only the lesser evils were still alive, but were banished to hell once they were defeated in sanctuary.
Definitely would've been more interesting if Tyreal lost his power from destroying the world stone. In Diablo 2 it was implied that he was weakening. So a final heroic sacrifice to possibly save earth from hell would have been better.
And to all the comments asking why was he made black. When the fuck did Diablo lore ever imply angels having races?
DSRT888 we destroy the soulstone to weaken him and make sure he does not just possess anyone (like Leoric's sons) and just banished straight to hell.
About the black soulstone, I have no idea either. How the hell does it have all the evils again? I dont recall seeing it when we killed them, and the nephalem does not know of it either. It does not feel canon.
When you destroyed his soulstone, he was supposed to be banished TO THE VOID like Lilith if I recall correctly. He was not supposed to be in Hell or on Sanctuary (or in Heaven for that matter). However, it seems instead that Diablo was just wandering Sanctuary in a form that cannot possess anyone or affect the world around him for 20 years.
Adria wandered around and "marked" the souls of the great Evils as they themselves wandered aimlessly around Sanctuary. Then, the black soulstone was completed and immediately set to SUCK and pulled his demon soul into it along with the souls of Andariel, Duriel, Mephisto, and Baal.
Diablo probably didn't fight or struggle like the others.
The more pertinent question is actually why Andariel and Duriel didn't go back to Hell when they were killed without soulstones. Perhaps Adria was following us in Diablo 2 marking their souls or keeping them from returning to Hell.
Wow, Tyrael is cool 12:40
So when Diablo "resurrected" using Leah as vessel combining the power of all 7 evils (Diablo + 2 prime evils + 4 lesser evils), was he as strong as Tathamet was? If so, does this means that the Nephalem was even stronger than Anu itself since the Nephalem was able to kill this "super-Diablo" and survive?
"It is the sum total of all seven Evils housed within one body. [...]"
diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Tathamet
The Nephalem are born with Angel and Demon blood which means they are stronger than both races which answers your question.
