The Entire Story of Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred Explained

[@JulioThe1988]

I like the fact that a Prime Evil isn't just easily dispatched by a random character in the world. And therefor he is setting up the revival of his brothers. I do however see the disappointment people experience, because we didn't even get to fight the real mephisto

[@NyxVellum]

I agree!

[@TheCrownedSun]

As long as the eventual fight with the Prime Evil, or Evils, at some point-- does justice to THIS fight,- I'm happy with it. Not sure how they'll pull that off, but, the weight of fighting Mephisto's avatar and having us ONLY win because of Akarat's sacrifice? That was SERIOUSLY epic.

[@T.W.K.1993]

Yes my thoughts exactly. I hope blizzard is not going to rush this story now bc of the backlash from people that wanna fight te big Boyz.

​@@TheCrownedSunif the story goes slow like this. And mephisto plans will actually bear fruit. We might actually experience the war between prime evils and high heavens that imperius so desperately want to. But people will be so disgusted by the amount of DLCs needed to get there.

[@johnbilicki913]

See, I know logically that this is what they are doing, but it felt like the base story was a setup for mephisto, and this dlc feels like a setup for mephisto. I know the next xpac will go hard, but it's hard not to feel left out in the cold on this, at least where the story is concerned. I'm a life long diablo player, and this xpac has so much great about it, I'm very happy with the state of the game, I just wish the campaign got as much love as the new class

[@isaacgraff8288]

So, Heaven has been remarkably silent, possibly still repairing/rebuilding Heaven after events in D3, Tyreal is MIA, Akarat is dead, and Rathma is dead. Meaning pretty much any meaningful help is either dead or missing, and we know that Mephisto is coming back in a more powerful body (Akarat's).

Hello. I appreciate your comment and your point of view. In my opinion, after being SUPER dissapointed with Diablo 3 after falling in love with Diablo II, this Diablo IV I was expecting again a big sadness. To my surprise, I just finished it today without expansion, and I have to say that the Lore is very very good in my opinion. A lot of debate between what's good and what's evil. A lot of shades of grey about who is helping and who is not. Who will betray you. Why this guy have this motivation. Etc etc.

What only happened in this expansion: 1. We saved Neyrelle. 2.......... I was disappointed we didn't get to fight Mephistos Akarat avatar and in the fight he could split his body in a gory ingame cutscene and have him take his true form. So Mephisto is still out there in Sanctuary. Where is Tyrael? Where is Lorath? Especially with this Neyrelle centric expansion. I was expecting some hints/tidbits about them and maybe even some foreshadowing of Baal and Diablo... or Imperius and the Angels (my theory is that Tyrael ran away from the Horadrim because he still has an Angelic connection and he got a vision showing Imperius is preparing his army to have his final war against Sanctuary and the Humans so Tyrael ran away to try to stop this from happening/doing something).

[@NyxVellum]

@@vonb2792 Yes. He wanted an alliance with the player, the Wanderer. So Mephisto probably like a lot of times during the Eternal Conflict wants to betray his brothers and be the ultimate winner. Unfortunately the wanderer did not accept this.

[@heims4166]

They cooked with the trailer but the story overall was ass, the ending felt super forced and pointless. The side vilain of the church felt so out of place as well. At least the new class is fun and there's more to do in the endgame. Hopefully they'll write something better for upcoming expansions.

[@MrWiggz69]

It's setting up two story beats that will overlap in the future. Mephisto is likely going to hide in the body of Akarat and gain strength and tributes to bring back the other primevals. As for the church, it's more than hinted at that the church is failing. If the church fails then the angels get less tribute and become weaker. I'd imagine that they will eventually 'remedy' it. Can very easily see Imperius finally get the war he always wanted.

[@free29ct]

Diablo 4 is really drammatic if you ask me. Was I the nephilim of this story I'd really ask myself: - Was everything worth it to arrive to this ending, all the deaths, the sacrifises. - Was killing Lilith the right thing to do. - Where the hell are the angels, why are they leaving Sanctuarium to the prime evils so easily, why didn't they help Inarius in his darkest hour. - Where's hope now. I would not back down clearly seeing the circumstances, but damn the anxiety and despair this game gives you in confront to D3 is insane. I think it is deserved to have another Dlc at least to give this plot some hope. A minimun amount c'mon.

[@BeyondBlizziC]

Yes, killing Lillith was the right thing to do, unless you want humanity corrupted by power and probably eternal war and bloodshed. It's an interesting motivation for anyone who would side with Lillith, but it's absolutely not a good thing if you value the good aspects of humanity. As for the Angels, they try keeping out of Sanctuary's affairs because that's the decision they made after The Sin War, in the hope that Humanity overcomes it's partly demonic nature on their own. And when they made that decision they also literally gave Inarius to Mephisto which led to him being tortured for a thousand years, so they absolutely does not care what happens to him.

Akarat is the new Sankekur, the cycle begins anew. But 40$ for every Prime Evil reincarnation without fighting it, on top of the base game price, without adding much new content (same monsters and enemies, 1 new class that is essentially a reskinned D3 Monk), it's pretty steep. I'm not surprised that this ''Expansion'' (or should I say DLC) is received with mixed or even poor reviews.

Agreed. This just opened a lot of possibilities. With the cathedral of light in shambles, he's surely going to take advantage of bringing in more followers and start a holy war.

Not sure what everyone is criticizing in D4 writing. Story is solid. Thick with despair and hopelessness. Calls back to every Diablo ever. Darkness comes, avatars are born and we are called to face the wars they bring. Calls further into question our decisions to slay our mother. Was she right? Creates new paths for us to follow in the future. Maybe not the most exciting and somewhat predictable but Diablo has ever been about “the cycle”. And evil lives in that wheel.

From a lore stand point the expansion was great, as well as the lessons on grief,regret, guilt etc. All of that was handled really well. The problem is how short it was left alot of things that could have been truly peak moments as lackluster. Duders stabs us in the back and kicks us in water setting up for a major encounter later as well as reminding the player and the wanderer even though theyve killed lilith and have fought through hell they are still fragile and mortal. Dudes hunting down neyrelle as well. So outside the opening does he really pose any threat tension etc? Fuck no. We only see him again one more time when we kill him. He doesnt even come close to getting to neyrelle which could have lead to a proper threat outside mephisto and the stone to her. The ending felt rushed and the mephisto fight kinda just felt anticlimatic and there was basicly 0 actual fight to worry about. I woulf have liked for mephistos herald to feel like a proper threat in the fight as well. The the other dude betraying us felt like a easy to see happening ahead of time thing that was building so i didnt mind it but also i would have liked a bit more, for it to go darker. Neyrelle being saved felt like them wanting to avoid a Leah 2.0 situation which i do get. But the way neyrelles story was going id have actually liked to see the soulstone completely and permentantly take her and we get a full blown reborn mephisto fight. Also where the hell did lorath go? Dude got the lead to chase neyrelle then we never see him. Dude must of have gotten lost wherever the d3 nephillim went on vacation lol Over all from a lore and spectacle stand point and a lesson stand point it was great. But from a expansion and player stand point it was way to short, not enough was fleshed out and it feels like we only got half an expansion worth of length. I finished it all in maybe 6 hours outside of a bug where i had to redo the final quest cause i got dc'd before the portal. End game stuff is enjoyable and spiritborns also enjoyable. Tldr- good lore,good themes. to short, not satisfied,spiritborn fun.

[@sheldonmorley]

I'm often critical of Blizzard, but credit where credit is due: they knocked it out of the park with the new expansion. The new systems are a big improvement, the new class is interesting, the writing is tight and almost poetic in some spots, and the story is scaled down and extremely personal. And its ultimate message about the perseverance of the human spirit was a wonderful change of pace for a series that can sometimes lean too heavily into edgelord nonsense. This is was a story about saving a single soul - a story about people helping each other through incredibly challenging circumstances, not about killing demons, and I love that. 10/10

Neyrelle had another man inside her who gave her a relatively mild case of stigmata. Who has the real plot armor here?

[@Asin24]

@@notbrad4873 The question is WHY did our character get backstabbed so easily? We took out the daughter of a prime evil in a fight, yet we apparently are hopeless to noticing a guy moving behind us, backstabbing us with a dagger, not to mention we have taken far more devistating blows then a dagger that has done far less damage to us. I mean its plot armor with Neryelle is resisting a prime evils influence as the world around her is being corrupted because she gives a prayer? The horadrim struggled to find a way to contain Baal and the Wanderer's only solution was to embed the stone in himself to try and contain the evil. Far more wise and expereinced individuals have tried to find ways to contain a prime evil and quickly fell, yet a little girl can just casually carry the stone around and be fine? MInd you a prime evil that was at pretty much full regenerated power. The D2 hero only held the soulstones of the freshly defeated Prime Evils for a very short time after taking hold, while Marius having the soulstone SEPERATED from Baal in what would of been likely several months at most had mentally deteriorated.

It felt like a patch rather than an expansion in terms of story.

Say what you want but Urivar was smart asf not wasting that opportunity to stab us while we were distracted. Like we the mfer that took out Lilith, it’d be dumb not to do that with how powerful we must be to survive hell as a Victor.

[@williamnilsson8681]

I guess they are going to make a second dlc? And I hope the make sure that we can face baal in it

[@iriswaldenburger2315]

Thank you for this video mate. You spared me from having to buy D4, just to know the lore 😊 I love lore videos and I even got a D4 closed beta invite and played it, but when I played it I realised that I really didn’t like the gfx or the gameplay, so it made me wanna buy the game even less. People like you deserve a medal for your work 💪

[@nikogaming21]

Great narration. It was like listening to an actual book lol

[@fundingsecured7072]

Thank you for playing the game for us, so we don’t have to.

[@pablo1006pr]

to be fair this happened because we didn't leave mephisto alone so pretty much our own fault

[@laughter4380]

Been waiting for this ever since I beat the story I'm hyped

[@NyxVellum]

Thank you!

[@GHOSTFACE_1995-d7v]

Lorath had so much to say afterwards.. where the hell was he with his drunk a**

[@a-_-Kuja]

He was hungover 😂

[@Crainage1056]

Perhaps Akarat will take Inarius' spot in the heavens, Inarius losing his wings and all. idk. Also why are all the left eyes only melt of the statues around Mephisto rising from the black tar in the final scene.

[@robpescatore9442]

great video

[@NyxVellum]

Thanks!

[@user-tn1oh3he8c]

Inarius isn’t an archangel

[@kalistothenes]

Yes he is lmao

[@EnthrallingBass140]

The whole expansion I was just thinking siding with Lilith would have been a better option. I hate participating in a story with a better solution constantly yelling at me in the back of my mind.

[@Knight_of_Ren]

Dude, The game begins by telling you that the sanctuary fell, the prophecy was fulfilled, what you are playing is the past to see how the destruction of the sanctuary happened, you cannot make decisions because they have already been made.

[@EnthrallingBass140]

@@Knight_of_Ren We are not playing a prequel. D4 is a continuation of the Diablo story.

[@jacobfreeman5444]

That is the problem. Siding with either demons or angels just ends up corrupting humans. Even Lilith does this. Hell, it is her intention! She thinks it is necessary to save humanity. But as they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It would be no different than any of the others. For humanity to be saved they must save themselves. They must find a way to forge a path separate from their progenitors. But neither side seems willing to let beings with the potential of influencing their own war out of their grasp. So that is the struggle we see in Diablo.
