Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred Beginner Guide - Everything you Need to Know in 2024

[@zendefta]

I'm not a beginner player, but still watching to support the channel. Good content, man!

[@avatarofdeath]

Good man, viewer

[@kevtvshow]

hell yeah same here

[@justinvelasco9296]

Same, really well covered though

[@decro3177]

The fact you go over EVERYTHING is the difference between this video and others. It's like most videos assume you know everything about the game, hand picks the information given and nothing really noob friendly that i've found. Great video. Haven't played realistically since there was no season, off and on testing seasons but lost interest. This really helped catch me up and nice background video for the stuff I already knew. Very easy to listen to and understand.

[@jonbuckley]

As somebody who just jumped back in. This is perfect timing. Great video.

[@aleksandarstanisic1848]

D4 good now 😅

[@quakerninja]

If you left because you thought fighting the same monsters was boring. I've got some bad news. It's still all you will be doing.

[@seraakk]

Hey Rhykker, this is Folks. Grabbing the popcorn, this is the video we were waiting for!

[@whatsinthebox9732]

Get off your knees

[@valentim.mp4]

Underrated sense of humor. Thank you Folks

[@RyanChristopher-d4u]

Literally trying the game since diablo 2 when I was waaaaay younger. This is the best and I mean the best explanation of the game and has helped me so much to understand what I need to do. Brilliant content and context 🎉 champion

[@jkdubya85]

I bought the game this morning. This is serendipitous timing.

[@sylenzZ-80]

With patch 2.0 Blizzard literally created Diablo IV Resurrected and i can not wait to dive back in building a flexibility Spiritborn character within the new Vessel of Hatred content and the main game. Thanks for the the insight, Rhykker! Timing is a flawless victory 💯

[@jackwebb2425]

Rhykker, you are an amazing educator. If i could sub twice, I would. I am a veteran player of Diablo since D1. I thoroughly enjoy your unique way to explain things without being condescending or overtalking your audience. Well done. I loved this video and all of its content!

[@jasonproulx1231]

I'm sorry for ALL the other "ultimate guide" but geez, Rhykker just did a very good job on this video. Wow.

[@sunadal]

Big ups for another excellent video Rhykker! No matter how much I try to watch other videos, I cannot bring myself to totally focus and follow up all they say and often end up closing it in the middle. You explain everything in a structural and pedagocical manner with your superb voice, which makes the whole experience very pleasant. So big thanks mate. Keep'em coming.

[@anthonyjobey8821]

Your voice got me hooked in less than a second. I already know I will be watching everything you put out, calm yet powerful.

[@avion85]

Great stuff. It takes more effort to give a high-level overview than most people think.

[@313Martin]

Exactly

[@casualandy89]

Im coming Back after Missing 3 seasons and i am very grateful for your knowledge bomb of a video

[@murf145]

Jumping back into Diablo 4 and this was extremely helpful. Thanks for putting this together.

[@nikolaigurov1344]

Great! Thank you for all in one place crucial information! Keep it updated for future content!

[@SeetheWithin]

Wow thanks a lot for this guide it was comprehensive! You really included everything for a beginner, actually more!

[@Efore]

Wow, great job Rhykker, lots of new stuff i had no idea were included.

[@Veilz0]

Amazing video. Very good content information for newbie myself.. thank a lot Sir

[@varyos71]

Me: Is the new expansion any good ? Rhykker: Yes, no cap!

[@Rhykker]

LOL

[@marlborosigara]

The link to this video should be pinned at the top of every Diablo 4 forum out there.

[@Branpanman]

You're the Diablo GOAT, Rhykker!! Cheers!!

[@PaulMcEwanUK]

Thanks for the simple explanation, even this Old Aged Player can follow that. See you in 7 hours

[@blackyvertigo]

if you bought the expansion, play spiritborn. it's predictably overpowered. but also expect it to be nerfed all the way to the bottom for the season after.

[@yakisegal]

I've been playing since the game launched, but this guide is just great!!! I enjoyed every explanation, throughout the entire video!!! In my opinion: a must-have training video for every player!

[@Winwino_]

Very useful for people starting D4 now.

[@TehPwnographer]

This expansion is so good Rhykker took his hat off in respect

[@letko6]

Ya he already said the campaign sucked, the class is cool, overall not worth the money

[@itkovian-1113]

@@letko6 misinformation ftw

[@wickedblade4751]

@letko6 what are you talking about? He said the overall story was underwhelming yes but the overall expansion whether it's worth it or not was dependent on the individual but that for most people it would be worth it. I'm not surprised that the story wasn't as a good as the main campaign because they were more focused on the content and for the most part people play the campaign once or a handful of times max. Interestingly most people agree that the base campaign was solid most many even saying it's the best but the game felt quite empty content wise vs here there's definitely a lot to offer in terms of content even if the campaign suffered.

[@letko6]

@@wickedblade4751 the base story was underwhelming as well. The cinematics and carried hard. The game really doesn’t offer that much content. There is not any freedom to grind specific mechanics as you please. They have forced players to play specific parts of the game to earn exclusive drops. The problem with that is when you need drop xyz you are forced to grind a mechanic you don’t like. Ultimately the game is Diablo 3.5 and about as unimaginative and watered down as they get

[@bronzejourney5784]

@@letko6 Just say you cant afford the expansion, kid.

[@FeelinGoode]

Haven't played since S1 and I forgot everything. This video was helpful.

[@Sophie2570]

I didn't play much in season 5, so I felt pretty lost with all the changes. But this was super helpful to get caught up! ❤ Love these guides!!!!

[@Jrodd0]

I have been playing on day one and didn't know about certain game mechanic's, thank you for the video, I learn a lot.

[@pu7dr]

This was very thorough and helpful. Thank you.

[@SurlyEric]

Lots of changes and additions to the game with this patch. Thanks for making the video to clearly explain how everything works and highlighting all of the activities players will be doing.

[@BrianBrown-vd1vv]

Thanks man, love your content. Easily the most helpful Diablo 4 videos ive found.

[@kayayldrm2650]

I‘m finally making the switch from d3 to d4 after playing it for 7 years, this was really helpful, thank you so much

[@MrRhoidRage]

What made you make the change? The fact that D4 is basically D3 2.0 with this expansion? Lol

​@@MrRhoidRagefor me it's a monk being in the Game still waiting on a paladin

[@aleksandarstanisic1848]

Good timing man 😉

[@kayayldrm2650]

@@MrRhoidRage Actually yeah haha, I wasn't much of a fan of the slow paced grind like d2 or poe, and now I've heard from many that it got like d3 now and is worth trying out. All I heard in the beginning of d4 was disappointment.

[@MrRhoidRage]

@@kayayldrm2650 I didn’t mind the pace on launch but the looting, gearing and crafting system was pretty lackluster for sure. It didn’t feel very rewarding like most ARPGs should. I agree with the many though, I played a bit of the current season and it already feels so much better. The expansion is promising for a d3 fan, no doubt. I’m sure it’s their goal to get everyone off d3 so they can justify dropping support lol

[@deefdabeef]

Great video Rhykker ! I was looking for a video that explain everything new since season 1 ! Your always my number 1 reference for Diablo !

[@JetConvoy]

I’ve been waiting for this. Tomorrow is the day!!

[@Freyja_Dom]

I've been playing D4 since the open beta, but still find this instructive. Great in-depth video! Thanks Rhykker! I wish we could reset masterworking ranks back 1 rank at a time instead of going from 12 to 1. The stress when you're trying to get the perfect 3rd crit on rank 12 is real! 😂

[@ianmilitello3024]

I'm far from a beginner but definitely a fan, thanks for this man. I'm pumped to be getting back to Sanctuary. Always here for more of your Diablo content.

Played the preseason and the first season but then quit and havent been back. Heard about the DLC and figured it would be a good time to jump back in. Just watched the whole vid which was a good refresher.

[@ultimateblue2197]

Man I really appreciate this video I needed a refresher and knowledge of alot of the new stuff since launch/season 1as that is when I stop playing cause of time constraints

[@gottabedaryl]

Launch got delayed, allowed me additional time to watch and learn from this video. Thanks, Rhykker!

[@marcospadilha9942]

Amazing video! Very detailed. Tks!

[@xOubax]

Sorry for the non game related comment but it's cool to see you without your trusty Rykker trucker cap. I don't think that happens very often? And my game related comment is, you were so right! The game is awesome in its vanilla format. It's like night and day as far as how much better the game is now compared to last year. Thank you! The content you make is always top notch. This guide is appreciated by many.

[@AutisticHermit]

As a new player this is very helpful so thanks. I do wonder though why I can't add sockets to gear sometimes, I can't find any info as to why this is

[@maxpowers5055]

Great content, man. Very useful for those new to the game. Always love the insight and knowledge you bring.

[@GreyFox474]

Dude, thank you for this! I didnt play the game since before the first season, because none of the classes was to my liking. Now I'll try the jungle-Monk, hoping it really plays a lot like the D3 Monk. The game really changed a lot, can't wait to play again.

[@BakiHimself]

new to diablo so also new to diablo 4 going to buy it tommorrow. I needed this video.

[@KamiKaXi]

this is definitely a complete easy to understand guide that is already helping me so much, thank you so much! ⭐⭐⭐

[@Ozelotl91]

I might've missed it since I was multitasking while watching, but I don't think you mentioned mounts. You have to beat Act 3 of the main quest to get them. Then you can customize at any stable.

[@Mirceabalea]

Tnx for the guide

[@hancokamper]

Yooo! Great Guide! I've been playing since launch, and even for me, this was helpful and entertaining to watch! 🤘

I'm a big Diablo fan, but I haven't played D4 since season 1. I'm excited to try the game again and see how much it's changed!

[@marekpopioek7259]

Oh man... you'll have a threat :)

[@MarcosGarcia-jn3wc]

Awesome video and really a huge amount of work for the D4 gamers, regardless if we are constantly playing or returning ❤ Much appreciated!!! Just one question: what would you recommend storywise, playing the campaign from the very beginning e.g with the spiritborn to replay the entire story or just the expansion campaign? I always loved the lore and would like to get the most out of it.

[@bobbysimpson5540]

Maybe this is a good place to get a dumb question answered. Why does the Spiritborn class not use there weapon in the Animations of game? They only use there fists and when they go into battle they place weapon on there back. Just kind of weird to me.

[@ryanisright3559]

What about leveling aside from the campaign?

[@WyattPost406]

This was so helpful to a new player. Thank you!

[@robertedwardsiii5418]

What build is that you are playing in the background of this video? Is there a guide for it?

I'm a filthy casual...and rhykkers channel....comes through again! all the best sir!

[@cellrien]

Good video for new and returning players

[@PeterRichardsandYoureNot]

As predicted though, the party sticks blows. It was on for about 2 weeks when the season launched, and after that it’s totally vacant. I was in t2 looking for a series run and not only were there no parties for duties, there were none for anything. Not sure if it was a bug or what, but not a good look.

[@fernando_amoretti]

Awesome content! Suitable for new and old Wanderers!

[@mskindeed3600]

Hey Rhykker Thanks for the Guide we appreciate it.

[@Ugnutz]

Rune in weapons isnt always a bad thing its better to put the runes in the weapons as you will get more bang for you buck with Str gems in your armour with the scaling

[@michaelblythe5094]

Great video. Thanks for putting the effort into this!

[@MrLove-666]

I've been asking for a long time, but since Reviving others helps, they should pollute the maps with a death mark location when a player is down (like showing your own mark that serves nothing for you actually..) Not just sending a world map warning on the chat that someone dies from "X" -> They can even give us an Achievement for x amount of players revived.

[@OzPsych0]

I've been trying to make a build of my own using payback i just don't know how to make that happen 😅

[@SeanSmith66]

[@alejandroluna-juliano7893]

Yo Rhykker! Keep them locks flowing brother. Great content as always - Folks

[@johntabor2619]

I played when the games released and beat the campaign. Do I have to do it again?

[@313Martin]

No, just the expansion

[@duhteacha]

Can someone explain to me, when tempering an item, why the game almost always picks the same power? For example, you select a defense. Three powers are possible, but when trying to temper your item the same power is selected at least 3 out of 5 times. One would think that each of the three might be chosen at least once. It is extremely frustrating.

[@bhaalgorn]

There are certain weightings to each option that can pop up.

[@michaelhuie5878]

Thats hiw RNG works. However it seems they intentionally rigged it to always give u dupes of a unneeded stat more regularly.

[@claydoughten7552]

Damn straight it's bs

[@francescopace7079]

I just wanted to share my experience with Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred for PS5. I was super excited to dive into the new endgame content with my wife in couch co-op mode. However, I was shocked to find out that local co-op isn’t supported for the Dark Citadel! It feels like the developers completely glossed over this crucial detail in their marketing. They’ve been hyping up all the new content, but they never mentioned that we couldn’t play it together on the same couch. As a long-time Diablo fan, this is really disappointing. We were both looking forward to conquering the Dark Citadel together, and now it feels like a major letdown. It’s frustrating that such an important aspect of game play wasn’t made clear from the start. Just a heads up for anyone else considering this purchase: check the co-op options before diving in. Hopefully, the developers will address this oversight in the future.

[@313Martin]

Man, I never knew this. Now, that is a letdown because that is a major aspect of diablo. I'm sorry to hear that though, hopefully blizzard gets it together so you and your wife can play.

[@danieldicken6407]

This video is goated

[@hdf001]

Good stuff. Thanks bro. I quitted the game last year after the infamous nerf patch (1.1 I think) and lack of end game goals. Gonna do a revive in the game again. A lot of new stuff to manage.

[@janakinb5495]

The only thing that is a bit of a sour taste is the from what all playertesters are saying the class imbalance. Druid and Barb need some love. Or a totally reworked skilltree

[@mickylol8070]

Ok so I know we usually get our characters moved to the eternal realm after the season ends and same with gear etc but I just went to check and all my items are in the stash but I can’t take anything out or put anything in :/ what gives 😕🤔 so are we all going to lose everything in our stashes ???

Just fired up Diablo 4 after a long break. How do you start the Prologue for Act 1? It immediately sent me into the main town with no direction where to go. I remember the game would immediately start at the town Lilith corrupted, but for some reason it didn't send me there.

[@313Martin]

I'm still trying to figure out the same thing. The game started me out in the vessel of hatred expansion, and I haven't even completed the main campaign yet.

Btw, if you have progressed to torment II and try to go back to one and beat Lilith for the resplendent spark….yeah, that does not work as of current build nov. 5th, 2024. You may kick Lilith’s butt, but you get no spark.
