Diablo 2: The Disturbing Fate of Tristram & the Search for rumored Madman Deckard Cain - Diablo Lore

[@StirbMensch]

I remember when I was a wee lad that I thought the lightning from the Cairn Stones could do damage to you so I always ran away from them after activating all 5 stones to not get killed :)))

[@DarkLOREDash]

Haha amazing. Makes sense. Killed andariel the otherday and hop scotched away from lightning

[@greglancaster9053]

StirbMensch Hey, I did the same thing! It’s common sense until you learn “that lightning” is different.

[@ch1nux1430]

I bet you're not the only one. Not so long ago I used to run away from the flames that Andariel's dead body spit out when killed, hehehe... And the first time I killed her, I get scared for the earthquake once you finished her XD You read it from an avocado🥑

[@Lindhard93]

@@DarkLOREDash The dismembered corpse of Ogden is located just outside the entrance of the Tavern of the Rising Sun. The Darkening of Tristam event in Diablo III verified that it was his corpse. I'm guessing that the survivors could be Gillian, Gillian's grandmother, Garda, Dica and/or Lester the farmer, though I doubt Gillian's grandmother was amongst them considering her age and declining health. A skeleton is located on the ground a few steps from where Gillian used to stand. I'm guessing that it's supposed to be Gillian's skeleton, but I think it could be her grandmother who managed to get outside the house before being killed.

This Quest is Very nostalgic! Its cool how they portrayed Tristram after all these years. Yet they could've done So much more with it. It would have been Great to see Adria shack and even allowed access to 1 of the dungeons 1st level & then find the rest collapsed from the attack or a earthquake possibly.

[@DarkLOREDash]

Agree!

[@ChemiBaralust]

Honestly that would been more interesting than all of that rocks and tree bs XD It was a always a weird mission that felt too childish for this game, nothing was explained, it was like yeah you can go to tristam by touching some rocks with a paper that tells you the order.. huh?!

*Corpsefire* appears in the Den of Evil; and *Bishibosh* appears in the Cold Plains. *Rakinishu* is the 3rd Superunique faced in Act 1. If I'm not mistaken, every area in Diablo 2 has at least 1 Superunique! Great video man I am loving your Diablo content. Especially the Diablo 1 content because I never beat that game and don't remember much about it where as Diablo 2 I am pretty sure I know about 97% of everything there is to know about, and Diablo 3 is the exact opposite I know about 3% of everything there is to know about that game.

I like to theories that my Druid brethren sensed the tragedy that would befall the town of Tristram and inscribed the bark of the tree of Inifuss with magical runes of power to keep it safe from the corruption of the three,but since the Druid character you make only says about the cairn stones that they look like the ones that are common in Scosglen debunks it.

I think Farnham died of his habits long before the demons attacked. His Skelton is bleached and there’s no other signs of struggle or burn marks. He might have had the saddest death, he died when the folks were still alive, and no one noticed.
