Man, the Diablo lore deserves to be told with such a voice. I'm so happy every time you release one of these. I wish D4 hired you to voiceover all these journals I expect to find along the way.
I've always been so interested in the lore of Diablo 2. Exactly for one of these reasons here like how did the rogues get corrupted and why you were fighting them. Where did Andariel and Duriel come from? How did the zakarum get corrupted and turn into zealots? etc. I hope you go into these details at some point in the future as well!
As with all the Great Evils, Duriel & Andariel was spawned from one of the seven heads of Tathamet. Andariel rule the Realm of Anguish while Duriel rule the Realm of Pain in Hell.
Andy and duriel are evils from the original prime evil tathomet. Tathomet split off into 7 particles, which were divided by lesser and greater evils. Andy and duriel are basically part of the 4 lesser evils, with the other lesser evils being belial and asmodan. Everyone knows the 3 other evils - diable, baal, and mephisto.
I will only ever follow one streamer and that’s Rhykker. Diablo is my all time favorite series and he handles all content across the board beautifully. Even when I know the lore, I can’t wait to hear his take on it! 12/10 would game with.
Awesome vid! With D4 around the corner, I feel people may seek these lore videos more. I for one would love more of these, to fully explain everything up to D4.
I don’t think people realize the time it takes to research and write out the script for something like this. Probably many takes. Quality work, appreciate every episode. New to the channel and to your work, and diablo 4 in general. Thank you
Great story telling. Can't wait for the next episode. I've been playing Diablo ever since I picked up a demo CD at Walden software nearly 26 years ago.
and what about the artifact? ... if the sightless eye was in the monastery, but demons invaded it, did akara manage to bring it out with her or remained it there? since this story retcon is not adressed ingame, there is no way to say if akara just mumbled about the lost malus but not about the lost eye cuz she had it in her tent, or cuz at the time of d2 there was no such thing yet
Just finished all your lore videos, loved all of them! Can’t wait for the remaining Parts! (Please don’t wait another year) This is truly a great way to refresh your Diablo lore :)
Just finished my second round watching all the lore videos. I love this series! I grew up playing Diablo and only knew some of the lore and history. This brings it all together and it is fantastic. Thank you Rhykker for doing what you do! Can’t wait for the next one!
I’ve played Diablo 2 for 15 years. And I never new 90% of this info. I’ve binged this series now for the last two days. I’m so glad I waited until it was basically finished to start it. You guys waiting 2 years for 2 videos is NUTS. Longest blue balls ever!
I could be wrong but I remember something about the lesser evils 'overthrowing' the prime evils being a part of the plan all along and that's why we see Andariel working for Diablo again in 2. I want to say it was mentioned in 2 somewhere but I can't remember the source exactly.
It was definitely part of the Prime Evils' plan. But the Lesser Evils weren't really aware of that and were legitimately trying to overthrow them. Or maybe Andariel and/or Duriel were aware of it and just played along with Belial and Azmodan. That's not something that's been revealed. Would make sense though, as it was always really Azmodan and Belial that were looking to be the new rulers of Hell, feeling like the Prime Evils were fools to obsess over trying to convert humans to cause so much (ironic since mortals seem like easy prey to be corrupted by sin and lies, but whatever), and they thought they had become complacent/incompetent (also ironic considering how pathetic the nephalem made them both look in Diablo 3). So yeah, perhaps the pain twins just pretended to go along with it after their master, Diablo, let them in on the greater plan. I hope we got some clarity on that eventually. I'm also really interested to find out: A. How Mephisto and Baal and the Lesser Evils reacted to Diablo basically duping and using them all in his failed plan to become the sole leader of Hell and destroy/corrupt Heaven himself. B. Why are Andariel and Duriel back in Sanctuary again and why are they seemingly serving Lilith? Just the D4 devs making an obvious play on nostalgia or an actual good reason?
Played the D4 beta last weekend, and came here to catch up on the lore. Thanks so much for the time an effort you put iinto these videos. Wonderful job and your work is appreciated!
This was amazing! Do you have a playlist with all the lore videos in order? This was the first one I saw. Man, you have a hell of a voice, kept me engaged the whole time. Great job dude!
Hey man I just caught up with your video loving the series so far, I saw you put on the Comments a disclaimer on Established Titles, but yeah I think a patron or something like that would be better than a scam service as Scott Shafer and many others already posted videos on this sponsor. Anyway looking forward for future episodes.
I'm sad that two of my favorites absolutely step on the toes of existing classes, the demon hunter and witch doctor. Maybe they can remake them more into their own things one day
My understanding of part of this lore, is that the lesser evils did not go against the prime evils out of malice, but it was always a part of the plan in order to infiltrate sanctuary.
The lesser evils actually had wars with the prime evils. If I remember correctly, one of the lesser evils actually over threw the prime evils for a time.
Love this, keep going! D4 is still a bit aways, and we all know so much more now (which maybe makes ur job harder?)…. But a lore recap continuation UP TO D4 would be ****ing amazing!
fuck yeah, love these lore videos man! and only 4 months from the last one, instead of a whole year this time 😂 jk man, keep up the good work; this was another good one 👍🏼
I still long for the day, where everything Diablo gets put into visuals... The story of Diablo 1-4 gets put on screen... Hell, i don't even need a Hollywood production... An animated version a lá "Arcane" would be insanely nice... Make it a series, where every little bit of lore gets shown and explained... I would watch that over and over again... Thank you for a great video brother... That was beautifully told...
Who is M'avina? I have always wondered who this person is that the Amazon class select is named after? Amazon and Rogue are my favorite I always play as them.
hey man i’m not sure if you’ve heard but established titles is getting flamed because they’ve been called out for being a complete scam. so it’d probably be best if you cut ties with them and didn’t feature them in any future videos.
Huh, I wasn't aware of any of this. Time to go reread my copy of the Book of Cain and the Book of Tyreal. Anyway, I love your lore vids so super happy you uploaded this. Thanks and looking forward to more! EDIT: Something I've wondered for awhile, and hopefully will get covered : Why is being a 'Witch' something people are reviled and shunned for in the Diablo series? I mean you have wizards and sorcerers in setting and they're tolerated and/or respected.
playing diablo games for 20 years now ( exept immortal , FU blizzard for this ) , i m normaly a person who couldn't care less about story's of a game as long as the gameplay is good , but recent videos like the d4 anouncement video sparked my intrest on who inarius actualy was so i stumbled upon ur lore video's . I have to admit everything became so clear now and i managed to link everything together . I heard of al the names , or at least most that came up on these videos but never rly knew they'r story or importance in the Lore . I realy thank you for making these vid's and looking forward to the next epissodes to fully understand the Lore until this point .

Good to see that people have found out that this business is a complete scam, they dont even plant the trees or donate to have them planted
This "Established Titles" company is already explained by some youtuber that it's a scam.
Why are you saying that it's just a novelty gift? It's a scam, and you're helping facilitate that.
Wait a moment. I can’t become the owner of Scotland? Son, I’m disappointed.
So many have exposed this company to be scam artists, don't work with them and DON'T buy from them!
When I've watched the whole playlist I felt sorry for those who waited the newer episodes.
Now I've became one of them. See you next year, partners!
I'm just joking, of course, take your time, your job is amazing, this lore videos are a treat, I love it!
Thank you!
I am so glad we have Rhykkerd Cain to stay and listen to.
OMG rhykkerd Cain how didnt i though of that brilhant
@@LordDany omg he put two names together HOW BRILLIANT
Wouldn't have thought of that in a million gazillion years
@@NakedAvanger your a clown 🤡
@@NakedAvanger hur dur
I'm def gna stay a while and listen
Wait....Rhykker released 2 Diablo Lore videos this year??? What's next?? Cthulhu awakens?? This is an awesome series. Thank you Rhykker 💜
Man, the Diablo lore deserves to be told with such a voice. I'm so happy every time you release one of these. I wish D4 hired you to voiceover all these journals I expect to find along the way.
Rhykker couold get his own lorekeeper character with journals to find hidden here and there~
He has a fantastic voice would love that.
Rhykker's becoming the real life Deckard Cain, I feel....
Mainly cuz I stayed a while and listened...
Deckard Rhykker 😆
@@pikke2010 Rhykker Cain is more like it
Deckard Rhykker Cain
Hope he stays away from butterflies
Keep doing these please, I binge watched all of the episodes in 1 day

A lot of this is explained in-game in Diablo 2 & 3 and the novels.
As with all the Great Evils, Duriel & Andariel was spawned from one of the seven heads of Tathamet. Andariel rule the Realm of Anguish while Duriel rule the Realm of Pain in Hell.

Its a little sad... the Lore series is amazing.. but I swear the videos don't get many likes :(
People like the videos!
Probably would get more likes if he did them more than once a year
Your Cain impersonation is pretty good. I ended up replaying it a couple times.
Keep the lore coming my man
These videos are the main reason I sub, you make it sound so interesting it’s addictive
God bless your voice
Always great to have one of these lore episodes

In dire need of the next part of the lore! Rhykker PLEASE 😩
The stay a while and listen impersonation xD So good mate!
D4 coming up, need more of these!
We've come a long way since Anu! Can't get enough of these lore videos! I do hope this lore series can catch up in time for D4
Yesss! More diablo lore with rhykker! Huge thanks for the video man!

Rhykard never fails to retell D1 to D4's lore with clarity that peaks your interest, hopefully we get more of it on D4 next soon!!
Rhykard?? He is rhykker!
Richard does dis very great gut!
Rhykard Cain.
Wooooh-hooo! it's a brand new lore video! Thanks Rhykker!
Played the D4 beta last weekend, and came here to catch up on the lore. Thanks so much for the time an effort you put iinto these videos. Wonderful job and your work is appreciated!
So Adria is literally the "Kid smiling in front of her house on fire" meme.
Not sure she was smiling after her mom was murdered and daddy came back home because he had money
the bitch is bonkers 😂
Bro... your Deckard Cain voice is uncomparably good.
its been ages since the last lore video, i hope they come more often now :)
Hey Rhykker hope your doing okay man.
Your channel has really helped me throughout the years. Thank you, and I will always be a fan.
outstanding storytelling, thanks so much for this series rhykker
This was amazing! Do you have a playlist with all the lore videos in order? This was the first one I saw. Man, you have a hell of a voice, kept me engaged the whole time. Great job dude!
Thanks! I do have a playlist, or you can find them on rhykker.com
Thank you so much for these videos. They always brighten my day. Also your Cain is on point
Established Titles must be sponsoring every damn channel on UA-cam. I have seen them plugged on almost every channel I'm subbed too lol.
Love the lore videos!
Did not know you started up the lore videos again. Looking forward to catching up.
Ohhh.. Can't wait to have a phone for the Diablo Immortal Arc.
Really Happy you're picking your lore videos back up. Always excellent. I love this content
These lore videos are a godsend Rhykker! I shall be eagerly waiting for the next episode ^^
Glad I waited until now to watch this series. I don't think I would have been able to handle the wait between episodes. Lol
I enjoy these videos so so much. Who needs a Netflix animated series, we have Rhykker!
great series, crossing my finger for more in the lead up to D4's release
If you’re planning on hitting the quota before D4 releases… your window is limited! Great job on the videos, and the telling of the story.
Really hope you finish the diablo 2 video soon!
Hey man I just caught up with your video loving the series so far, I saw you put on the Comments a disclaimer on Established Titles, but yeah I think a patron or something like that would be better than a scam service as Scott Shafer and many others already posted videos on this sponsor. Anyway looking forward for future episodes.
Came to 'stay awhile, and listen' and was not disappointed 😃
Tick Tock, Tick Tock - June is approaching and I need more Lore Fix!!!!! Love the series.
Rhykker, please finish the lore up to start of d4 prior to launch. Please and thank you. That is all.
Is it an early Christmas? Lore video from Rhykker?
Just watched all of these and raelised its been 4 years in the making of. Please bring out the next one starting up D2
I just finished watching the whole series, Rhykker my brother great work, hope we can catch up with D3 and D4 too !
It would be interesting if instead of getting the Amazon class again in D4, we got Oracles this time.
I'm sad that two of my favorites absolutely step on the toes of existing classes, the demon hunter and witch doctor. Maybe they can remake them more into their own things one day
I now wonder, when are we gonna get this... Oracle caste in the game as like an actual player character class
Cant wait for D4!!
Me too!
me to,gonna be banger i hope
I'm so sorry dude 😞
Covid22?

Yay another lore video!
YAAAYY another lore video ! Finaly :) THANK YOU
Absolutely love these lore series
@rhykker just out here patiently waiting for another episode before D4 release
You do a reasonable Deckard impression, I'm impressed.
Rhykker is wielding that nerdy Diablo lore humor like a bloody cleaver. Love it!
I laughed so much!
Whoo hoo more lore, love these
Its about time we got another lore video hell yea
thanks, love these lore videos, see you next year! :)
fuck yeah, love these lore videos man!
and only 4 months from the last one, instead of a whole year this time 😂
jk man, keep up the good work; this was another good one 👍🏼

Since Aidan was the crowned Prince and future ruler of Khanduras. That would make Leah a princess. She's royalty.
Before watching: This is gonna be fucking sweet
After watching: That was fucking sweet
So... you only have 69(!) days until release od D4. Please hurry and help us catch up on the Lore! I promise, I'll stay a while and listen.
Plz moooore! I love this series so much!
Straight gasm at that Deckard Cain impersonation.
Pls have a playlist of lores if there's none yet! Real interesting stuff!
There is a playlist!
@@Rhykker thanks! I'll definitely check em after work!!
Who is M'avina? I have always wondered who this person is that the Amazon class select is named after? Amazon and Rogue are my favorite I always play as them.
WE NEED to have the full story up to Diablo 4 before the 6th of June. Make it happen plz!!!

Because witches are seen as wielding magic for evil purposes....
hope you release the next part diablo 2. keep up the good work
so I found this yesterday, as I follow Rhykker mostly for Path of Exile and bingewatched it... so...
how many years will I have to wait?
Why did we skip backwards? Cuz like the other videos already explained this stuff?
I’m jus happy of all the heroes of D2 the Barb n Necro seem to have lived and prospered everyone else well damn
these videos are really good.
cant wait for more!
"yeast.... always into the yeast".
Jokes aside, nice with another lore video
"You know, Wandering in the Dark... And that's why they called him... Prince Aidan" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly Rhykker, you're the best
