Diablo Lore | The Fate of Diablo 2's Heroes

[@osabi11]

though it isn't canon, it is fun to think that originally the Barbarian in D2 and D3 was supposed to be the same character.

[@Chaos__]

It was in the first week of Diablo 3s release and had actual dialogue that mentioned the events of Diablo 2. They decided to retcon it for some reason.

[@j-mad]

It's canon for me. Lol!!!

[@loatheburger]

They couldn’t fit the Turkish Hair Transplant surgery in the lore

[@yurinalysis8034]

My theory is the Viz'Jaqtaar Assassin that killed Isendra the Sorceress was none other than the Diablo 2 Assassin. I also theorized that Natalya an Assassin npc in Act 3 was the canonical version of D2 Assassin itself. In the gossip just before you defeat Mephisto in Act 3, Natalya mentions that her Order send her to the lands of the Barbarians in Mt. Arreat for a "special unknown mission". In the canonical lore the Assassin and the Druid join the other 5 heroes in order to defeat Baal.

Also the first druid was the brother of bul khatos, i forget his name. Bul khatos decided martial prowess should be their main focus while his brother decided to aline with nature was more important, so the druids came to be.

[@loatheburger]

Yup - I cover that point in the druid section

[@yurinalysis8034]

That was Vasily also known as Fiacla Gear.

[@MortenLongbottom]

It would be interesting if the Sorceresses was killed by the Assassin, as a tragic ending to the two of them that once fight together, as tragic always surrounds the Heroes in the franchise. The developers said at some point that all the seven classes fight against Baal, however not all of them were still alive, we knew that the Sorceresses was death, now we know that the Paladin also didn't make it, I was scared about the Druid's fate. Thanks so much for this video, can't believe it was so long ago of this adventure against the evil forces.

[@viceiceman85]

Can't wait for the D3 hero Lore video :)

[@loatheburger]

you bet!

[@SLISKI_JOHNNY]

That will be one hell of a task. Even Diablo 4 doesn't seem to acknowledge the nephalem's existence, which is weird given that they're pretty much the most powerful being in the universe by the time of ROS ending. You'd imagine they would at least get some praise after they literally saved the world in D3, but they get no praise or even mention - nothing. Weird, right? And they must still be alive, since the nephalem age a lot slower than humans

[@brosiii2558]

Regarding Xul: In Vessel of Hatred u can find the entrance of the necropolis. A fellow necro will tell the player that the doors are closed and that the there are many graves of the most powerfull necros and that many of them died when Malthael did his thing. Maybe a hint that xul died because of the events of RoS and is buried within the necropolis?

[@loatheburger]

Great point! Thanks for the call out

[@PrettyDeadlyJesse]

Hell yea! LoatheBurger is back!

[@Csnooblet]

He’s back! Thought you got sick or something

[@Mence1809]

After seeing through this and some other videos on youtube, here is the fate of the D2 heroes in conclusion: Happy ending: - Cassia the Amazon - Xul the Necromancer Bad ending - Isendra the Sorceress - Carthas the Paladin Not happy or sad - Natalya the Assasin (later change to Demon Hunter) Not conclusive - Barbarian (either him or the Barb Hirelings in act V IS the D3 Barb) No info - Druid

[@yoavhayun4590]

Developers confirmed that the D3 male barbarian was supposed to be the D2 barbarian, but the idea was scraped for some reason.

[@darkydrone]

Lol paladin's name is Carthas, They didn't even try.

[@AlwaisGamer]

All this time i thought Diablo 2 and 3 the barb was the same........

[@OldUndeadMaleModel]

could u do a diablo 3 's Heroes lore?

[@loatheburger]

Unfortunately we don't know much about what happened with the D3 heroes outside of Johanna (Crusader), but I'd be happy to make a video giving more color on who they were and their background

[@omgdyls]

yes please i'd be cool to watch stories about the Nephalem Nazeebo, Valla, Li-ming, Johanna, Kharazim, and Sonya? as a HotS fan 😅

[@gabrieliwanek1982]

We know name of the assassin. Its Natalya she was in act 3 as an npc.

[@loatheburger]

Natalya is AN assassin, not THE assassin from Diablo 2

[@bongbongGAMING7878]

@@loatheburger actually it was Natalya who was the Assassin of D2. It was the reason why when the assassin talked to Natalya the conversation is different from others or to put it simply she almost doesn't talk to herself. 🙂 The reason why she left as an assassin during the events of Diablo 3 is that it was rumored that she was forced to kill her friend the wizard in Diablo 2.

[@gabrieliwanek1982]

@loatheburger I'm sure that this is comfirmed.

[@bongbongGAMING7878]

@@gabrieliwanek1982 Yes it is canon that the assassin was Natalya herself. :)

[@loatheburger]

@@bongbongGAMING7878 source? What I could find was just people speculating, and i thought the dialogue with natalya is the same even as an assassin. I know she turned into a Demon Hunter at some point

[@tristramemerge]

Alkor my favorite brewer 😂

[@KevinChristensen-h8x]

I loved d2😊

[@SlashGriever]

The way you say Harrogath bothers me immensely.

[@GridicA]

I stoped watching when you started referancing lore from Diablo Immortal. Not even worth mentioning lol

[@AlienoidGamer]

Except Diablo immortal is 100% canon
