Wow, I've been watching Rhykker's videos for years, but only just realized YESTERDAY that you had made all these lore videos. I binged them all right away, only to find out that the last few episodes were separated by, like, a year between them. What a coincidence! I'm so glad you added this today and I feel bad for those who had to wait, because Rhykker is so good at these.
Thanks Rhykker for all the hard work you put into the lore, gotta go back to the other videos since it's been a bit, retained vertually nothing on them sadly, but I have to say, your random humor tossed in casually non challan helps. :)
Each time you said about traveling east, I was waiting for "always east" :D I understand that would be tiring at some point. Anyway - when you'll manage to get this Lore series up-to-date, I will re-watch it, cause it's so frikin good to listen. Lots of small details and jokes are nicely put. Looking forward to see next ;)
Dude Rhykker finally another lore video! It's been a while. I love these and your telling of the story. Keep it up my man! Also your impression of Deckard Cain was spot on and that "can't hurt to try" line had me rolling 🤣
Thank you, Rhykker. You've exceeded my expectations about next episode. I very much enjoy this lore series, your delivery is pleasant, complex and fluent. Absolutely astonishing work. Cheers!
Rhykker! I just started to watch your lore videos 2 days ago and last night caught up with last one of them. I was well prepared to wait a year for the next one since thats apparently your MO. And a new one was uploaded 40mins ago. Clearly the gods are favouring me on this wednesday 😅♥️thank you.
As a casual player trying to figure out what the FFF is going on, I can say I stumbled into this series at a perfect time. I saw the first vid was from 5 years ago and thought the series was dead or concluded, but I'm happy to see this vid was posted about the same time yesterday. Looking forward to the Diablo 3, Immortal, and whatever we know in Diablo 4 already. Keep the content flowing :D
As usual i rewatch the entire playlist when a new episode comes out. Can't get enough of diablo lore especially with D4 right around the corner ! Keep on keeping on 👍
I'm running a Diablo 2 D&D game (5e adaptation from the 3e port) and these lore videos are so good for that. I've run through the game multiple times, but it's always good to see someone put pieces I've missed together.
Love the recap on Diablo lore with D4 just around the corner. Diablo has always captivated me with the gameplay, but I've always had difficulty following the story, so the detailed breakdown with reminders of who's who is really helpful
The story reminds me of playing Diablo 2. while watching your lores, all my questions before were answered, and I also learned something new. I'm looking forward to your next video. Thank you. :)
I somehow ended up intrigued to try the Diablo IV Open Beta, but since I had never come into contact with this game series, there was some catching up to do... Queue me watching all the lore videos within 24h last week :x Whoops. Happy to see you're continuing this series! Looking forward to further lore videos!
As of Diablo 4, we now know 4 out of the 7 heroes/travelers. Cassia (Amazon), Xul (Necromancer), Isendra (Sorceress) and Carthas (Paladin). We only don't know who the Barbarian, Assassin and Druid are.
Wow, this comes just when I started my first playthrough of D2R today, thanks!! Even though I poured thousands of hours climbing the ladder 20 years ago, I never really paid attention to the story until now... just finished watching your whole lore playlist about 2 weeks ago. Appreciate your hard work and the content! 👍👍👍 (I just recently discovered your channel by watching D4 content btw, subscribed!)
Ty so much my man. Been working on these since Jan. Finally caught up today. You're such a great teacher honestly. Your use of modern terms and examples really rock. And as always your Deckard Cain is spot on
@@Henbot so meh? The magicians still sacrifice people to Lilith to this day! Hebrews and templars worship her. But how would a gamer like u know anything 😉
Fun fact: The Countess is actually based on a real countess who also bathed in the blood of virgins. Also I always wondered who those two people in the cut scenes for Diablo 2 was, since I had never placed the first one.
Yay they are back. Thank you so much for putting all of this information into well organized videos. I really hope you can finish them before the D4 launch.
Probably some of the greatest lore in the Diablo Saga. Been a fan from the start until roughly D3 got released 😅. Looking forward to D4. Thanks again Rhykker!
I wish you used the music from diablo 4 in the background. The one from the big starting city is insanely good Thanks for all the content. Always watch your build vids whenever I feel like jumping into some D3
Found this channel and binged all of the lore videos today. Subscribed to finish the journey with everyone, I love the detail of this and feel like I finally understand what’s happening in the game. I played starting with the third game without much attention to the lore, but now I might know more than my friends thanks to you! 😅
There’s a phenomenal opportunity for any good director (sorry not sorry Uwe Boll) to get this lore scripted into a wonderful tv series. Meanwhile, still looking for Horazon’s Urinal…
I've been watching the Playlist over and over just cuz he's so damn good at telling the story. I keep trying to get into gaming mode to play Diablo 2 but I always end up just listening to Rhykker for hours. And just look at that barbarian beard!!!
I clicked like no 2K :D Yesterday I finished the series and thought if you would make another video before D4 comes out and suddenly I got notified about a new episode.. ❤ Thanks man!
Just picked up Diablo 4, and how nostalgic it is for myself coming from a D2 player in my teens to now 37 with 2 kids. Didnt play much of d3. This is a nice refresher.
It would be great to see old classes from D2 and D3 as NPCs in D4. And maybe these would be hints what playable classes could come in future expansions.
Never really got into the Diablo series before, but D4 looks really cool. So in prep I wanted to find a good video(s) summary of the story and this series has been incredible. Just finished watching all of it and am really looking forward to the end to catch up before jumping into D4 this summer. Really good story telling, love the sarcastic commentary on some of the more ridiculous story elements, and really appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing this story and lore. Can't wait for the next vid!
many thanks for the whole series that you made so far ! I only discovered it a few months ago. In the mean time, due to lack of time I now finally watched all of the episodes, "luckily" close after each other, otherwise most of the details would have been gone lost again and again over all these years in which you created these videos. It's really nice and entertaining the way that you present all this information and this series really helped me to get all the games together lore-wise ! Many thanks for that. As for Diablo 3, I already followed the story a bit more in detail than it was the case with Diablo 2 almost 20 years ago, but nevertheless I would be very interested in your take on the D3-story in the same format as before, though due to the surely high effort, I guess it most probably won't be finished before the D4-release in almost one month ? would be a really helpful summary in order to be prepared for the Diablo4-lore ! (not to mention the D2-act 5-lore, which was also very exciting ingame and will be covered in the next video, I suppose...) Many thanks again for this lore series and also for all the D4-update-videos ! they have answered maaany of my open questions after the early access/open beta ! so I'm already really excited about this game! especially with the soon upcoming "server-stress-test-weekend" to get another chance of testing D4 before the release 😄
So conveniently after finishing the last video, you posted this one a day later 😂 Figured id refresh my memeory on the entirety of diablo lore, and your videos are incredibly good at doing that, lol
Thanks for all these lore videos. I´ve played Diablo since the beginning and now i realise how much knowledge i lacked. You are awesome, your narration is awesome and your Deckard Cain impression, outstanding.
Doesn't matter how many times I hear it, I love D2 story. And it's not a glorious one (for the most partl), the heroes are always behind Diablo. Monastery already corrupted, they were late to stop him at Lut Gholein, THEY FAIL TO STOP THE THREE BROTHERS FROM REUNITING AT KURAST. And while they were in Hell, Arreat was being nuked with demons. And you pointed out some stuff I never think of before, like how the 5 heroes met and the Encampment, and that our Paladin doesn't have a canon name. Great video as always! Can't wait for the next one, you have a timer now before D4 release, so no more one year lore release 😂
OMG, the Deckard Cain impression for Khalim's Will was soo good. :)
Its hard to tell if he actually voiced it lol
Absolutely brilliant! Had me a good 5 minute pause to get the chuckles out of me before proceeding!
Wow, I've been watching Rhykker's videos for years, but only just realized YESTERDAY that you had made all these lore videos. I binged them all right away, only to find out that the last few episodes were separated by, like, a year between them. What a coincidence! I'm so glad you added this today and I feel bad for those who had to wait, because Rhykker is so good at these.
Don't pity me!
The wait was worth it!
And I followed from #1
Lucky you lol
This is my exact reality! Haha
I just did this same thing! Binged all the lore videos the last couple days and here I am with this upload… like whaaaaat!!
Thanks Rhykker for all the hard work you put into the lore, gotta go back to the other videos since it's been a bit, retained vertually nothing on them sadly, but I have to say, your random humor tossed in casually non challan helps. :)
Each time you said about traveling east, I was waiting for "always east" :D I understand that would be tiring at some point.
Anyway - when you'll manage to get this Lore series up-to-date, I will re-watch it, cause it's so frikin good to listen. Lots of small details and jokes are nicely put.
Looking forward to see next ;)
Me: I can't wait for another Rhykker Diablo lore video.
Rhykker: Not enough mana
"killing two birds with one Stone of Jordan"
I lulz'ed for about 20 seconds 😂
Good job on another one, Rhykker. Keep it coming!
Finally another episode! I love the lore in these games!
Can't wait for all the lore in D4 :D
Dude Rhykker finally another lore video! It's been a while. I love these and your telling of the story. Keep it up my man! Also your impression of Deckard Cain was spot on and that "can't hurt to try" line had me rolling 🤣
Never thought I would be still watching this series. So many years in the making ♥
Was watching to learn Diablo lore because I was interested in 4 but it so mid to meh
Lol, welll... It doesn't help the first half or more were made every 1.5 years lol
Thank you, Rhykker. You've exceeded my expectations about next episode. I very much enjoy this lore series, your delivery is pleasant, complex and fluent. Absolutely astonishing work. Cheers!
Exactly but I would add sometimes very funny too! I lol-d multiple times
I can't get enough of these lore videos! Thanks Rhykker for doing these, and for adding your epic comic relief bits to them.
Always nice to see new episode of the lore saga
Rhykker! I just started to watch your lore videos 2 days ago and last night caught up with last one of them. I was well prepared to wait a year for the next one since thats apparently your MO. And a new one was uploaded 40mins ago. Clearly the gods are favouring me on this wednesday 😅♥️thank you.
The cutaway to "Diablo Story Writer" made me laugh out loud at work.
I recently binged the previous lore videos. They're absolutely stellar so I'm excited to watch this new video!
GOD BLESS YOU!
Rhykker's Deckard Cain voice never ceases to amaze me.
He sounds more Deckard Cain than the actual voice actor...!
He sounds better than the one in d3, only way I know to explain d3 deckards voice to me is it just sounds so forced lol
It is really is uncanny, especially on subtle fluctuations on syllables, though perhaps he is too Canadian to fully acknowledge ;p
yeah its fucking awesome
Best Diablo Lore content on the whole youtubeverse !
Diablo 4 beta got me rehyped for Diablo so much! Keep 'em going!
As a casual player trying to figure out what the FFF is going on, I can say I stumbled into this series at a perfect time. I saw the first vid was from 5 years ago and thought the series was dead or concluded, but I'm happy to see this vid was posted about the same time yesterday. Looking forward to the Diablo 3, Immortal, and whatever we know in Diablo 4 already. Keep the content flowing :D
Dude, the captain planet reference cracked me up. You really have a knack for making the lore super entertaining.
As usual i rewatch the entire playlist when a new episode comes out. Can't get enough of diablo lore especially with D4 right around the corner !
Keep on keeping on 👍
I'm running a Diablo 2 D&D game (5e adaptation from the 3e port) and these lore videos are so good for that. I've run through the game multiple times, but it's always good to see someone put pieces I've missed together.
Ooohh man I wish my friends would do that, sadly I don't think we'll be playing for a while and we've never finished any game that I've been in
Just binged the entire series lol, I'm begging you please don't take a year to get the next episode out, these are super awesome i love them
Love the recap on Diablo lore with D4 just around the corner. Diablo has always captivated me with the gameplay, but I've always had difficulty following the story, so the detailed breakdown with reminders of who's who is really helpful
I did not know someone did these and are actually on par with the facts. Absolutely fantastic my guy. Keep up the wonderful work!
The story reminds me of playing Diablo 2. while watching your lores, all my questions before were answered, and I also learned something new. I'm looking forward to your next video. Thank you. :)
I found your channel so late I thought I missed the entire lore series. Hella hype that they're still gonna go on.
If only they didn't waste time with loot 🔥
Rhykker - your videos got me back to Diablo after a decade. Keep up the good work!!!
I somehow ended up intrigued to try the Diablo IV Open Beta, but since I had never come into contact with this game series, there was some catching up to do...
Queue me watching all the lore videos within 24h last week :x
Whoops.
Happy to see you're continuing this series! Looking forward to further lore videos!
As of Diablo 4, we now know 4 out of the 7 heroes/travelers.
Cassia (Amazon), Xul (Necromancer), Isendra (Sorceress) and Carthas (Paladin). We only don't know who the Barbarian, Assassin and Druid are.
I was just playing the side quest for the paladin and thought, pretty sure this carthas guy has to be from d2
Wow, this comes just when I started my first playthrough of D2R today, thanks!! Even though I poured thousands of hours climbing the ladder 20 years ago, I never really paid attention to the story until now... just finished watching your whole lore playlist about 2 weeks ago. Appreciate your hard work and the content! 👍👍👍 (I just recently discovered your channel by watching D4 content btw, subscribed!)
The most tragic part of this is that The Horadrim left Tal Rasha with that one loop around his face, for all eternity.
Ty so much my man. Been working on these since Jan. Finally caught up today. You're such a great teacher honestly. Your use of modern terms and examples really rock. And as always your Deckard Cain is spot on
Holy HELL, a Diablo Lore update! Praise Lilith
Diablo Lore so Mid to meh
@@Henbot then why are you here?
All Praise Lilith
@@Henbot so meh? The magicians still sacrifice people to Lilith to this day! Hebrews and templars worship her. But how would a gamer like u know anything 😉
@Nachikita's Fire What does the supposed irl worship of a mythical figure have to do with Diablo lore?
Hey ! Thanks for putting so much effort into making the episodes and catching us up before D4 ! Watched the series twice now, loving it !
This was awesome, thank you for taking the time to do this vid.
Fun fact: The Countess is actually based on a real countess who also bathed in the blood of virgins. Also I always wondered who those two people in the cut scenes for Diablo 2 was, since I had never placed the first one.
I was in the middle of watching this series when you posted this update. Awesome and great work on these.
What a video, mate! Key D2 takeaway: heroes are great at finding loot ☀️
Yay they are back. Thank you so much for putting all of this information into well organized videos. I really hope you can finish them before the D4 launch.
Gotta love it when a content creator listens to his fans 😊
Probably some of the greatest lore in the Diablo Saga. Been a fan from the start until roughly D3 got released 😅. Looking forward to D4. Thanks again Rhykker!
So hyped for a new vid in the series! I look forward to the day when you'll have it all covered!
Great job man. I love lore videos. Please do more of these for Diablo!
I love this. Do more lore videos please.
Holy....!!
I literally discovered these lore videos two days ago and now this dropped. WIN
Great video! Man I've said it for a while now, but I really wish Diablo had an animated series. The lore is so cool!
Yeah, it's an animated series would be awesome. Even if it's a side story not directly related to the games
This is the best overview of Diablo 2's story I've ever heard! Even as a lore buff I've learnt a few things. Fantastic job, Rhykker.
holy moly, rhykker, that Deckard Cain impersonation was AMAZINGLY ACCURATE! Good job, lol, this is what I'm here for!
Damn, i love hearing you doing lore talk.
Thank you!
I wish you used the music from diablo 4 in the background. The one from the big starting city is insanely good
Thanks for all the content. Always watch your build vids whenever I feel like jumping into some D3
I swear your lore videos are better than 99.9 Netflix shows. Looking forward to you hitting your goal before 2.6 :)
I really missed this series and the sarcastic style of story telling. Love it. Hahaha
Found this channel and binged all of the lore videos today. Subscribed to finish the journey with everyone, I love the detail of this and feel like I finally understand what’s happening in the game. I played starting with the third game without much attention to the lore, but now I might know more than my friends thanks to you! 😅
There’s a phenomenal opportunity for any good director (sorry not sorry Uwe Boll) to get this lore scripted into a wonderful tv series.
Meanwhile, still looking for Horazon’s Urinal…
I've been watching the Playlist over and over just cuz he's so damn good at telling the story. I keep trying to get into gaming mode to play Diablo 2 but I always end up just listening to Rhykker for hours.
And just look at that barbarian beard!!!
Even though I played through most Diablo games (minus D1) this was a great refresher. Well done
I quite literally binged the whole lore series and this one comes out now? Creepy but I’m not complaining
I love a good lore dump, excellent recap. I could listen to this man give a dramatic retelling of the phone book.
More Lore Videos pls, Rhykker 😭
I love it!
I’m so glad you’re doing these again! Love this series!!!!
So glad another lore video dropped...they are the best
Watching this whole series to refresh myself on the lore before D4. Thank you for this!
Was wondering when you'll continue these Lore series.❤️❤️❤️
binging all these to refresh for D4. good stuff. cant wait for next episode.
I clicked like no 2K :D Yesterday I finished the series and thought if you would make another video before D4 comes out and suddenly I got notified about a new episode.. ❤ Thanks man!
nice seeing the Lore series continuing!
Jesus!! That Deckard Cain impression 🔥🔥🔥
Great job, but you forgot to give the Amazon's back story. You only talked about the other 4 party members
Notice how he said "June 6 as my deadline" but he didn't specify which year. Oh Rhykker you sneaky little Diablo!
Just picked up Diablo 4, and how nostalgic it is for myself coming from a D2 player in my teens to now 37 with 2 kids. Didnt play much of d3. This is a nice refresher.
Wow Rhykker this is so good!! Cant wait for the next episode!
Great video. Just played through Diablo 2 again a few days ago. I hope you'll do a video on the lore of Diablo Immortal.
Oh sick. Was just wondering if we would more of these faster now that D4 is coming. Gotta get caught up before you get even more work.
big thanks to you, your work, research and time spend on this!
It would be great to see old classes from D2 and D3 as NPCs in D4. And maybe these would be hints what playable classes could come in future expansions.
hahaha your Deckard Cain at 25:06 is uncanny and perfect 😀. I've stayed a while, I'm listening!
Your best lore video yet
Thanks for the summary. It’s been a while.
The Deckard Cain impression was top notch.
Never really got into the Diablo series before, but D4 looks really cool. So in prep I wanted to find a good video(s) summary of the story and this series has been incredible.

Watching all your Lore videos thanks to the reddit thread - really amazing work, thank you for putting it all together!
many thanks for the whole series that you made so far ! I only discovered it a few months ago.

20:00 I think there's a hole in the Lore about how the hell did the Dark Wanderer and Tyrael enter Tal Rasha's chamber without the staff.
Man D2 has so many lore issues hahahaha
Finally Lore vids are back!!!!! YASSSSSS!
So conveniently after finishing the last video, you posted this one a day later 😂
Figured id refresh my memeory on the entirety of diablo lore, and your videos are incredibly good at doing that, lol
I love the videos brother but can we try to make the cuts a little less noticeable? Throws off the immersion a bit
Great videos. Please make more before D4 comes out.
"Killing 2 birds with 1 stone.. of Jordan" 😂 I'm dying here.
Ah, another high-quality lore video by Vaat- err, Rhykker. Good stuff.
What a great day when the legend himself uploads
Good god man, that Star Wars bit really hurts:(
Awesome video as usual
Rhykker's Diablo Lore series is the reason why I decide to play Diablo games again.. I hope Blizzard would remaster Diablo 1
Thanks I watched every single episode today before release
Fire, Water, Earth and Love. I loved that reference so much ❤
Thanks for all these lore videos. I´ve played Diablo since the beginning and now i realise how much knowledge i lacked. You are awesome, your narration is awesome and your Deckard Cain impression, outstanding.

Thank you Rykker for this lore compendium.
These are great. I’m pretty bummed that I’ll caught up. Do you plan on hitting Immortal and D3 before D4 drops?
"2 birds with one stone of jordan" 😂😂😂😂!!
I love these lore videos, I hope you can stand by your goal of finishing them before D4.
