Aidan then seats the gem in his own skull in an attempt to contain the Lord of Terror. D1 ends with the victorious warrior (Albrecht’s older brother Aidan, Leoric’s heir) slaying Diablo and removing the soulstone fragment from the demon’s forehead, revealing Albrecht’s dead body. Diablo’s original attempts to possess King Leoric failed, leading him to use Leoric’s younger son Albrecht as his vessel - and the one we fight as the game’s final boss. Players are first introduced to Diablo during Diablo 1, when Archbishop Lazarus releases him from the soulstone hidden in the Tristram Cathedral. He rules over the Realm of Terror in the Burning Hells, which players of Diablo 3 are ported to during their Act 4 fight against the Prime Evil himself. Like his siblings, Diablo spawned from one of the seven heads of the dragon Tathamet - the original Prime Evil, cast off from Anu, who sought a state of total purity.
If you prefer to avoid all Diablo 4 spoilers until the game’s release on June 6, might I recommend our entire backlog of weekly cuteness?

Will Diablo raise his ugly mug in D4, or will the game focus on Lilith’s rampages throughout Sanctuary?įair warning, reader: There are some story spoilers ahead. We’ve had minimal news about the Lord of Terror in the information released about the game so far. You would think a Diablo game would have to include the franchise’s titular character, but Diablo 4, with its focus on Lilith and Inarius, could be different.
