@@glennjosechristman4612 Canonically, it's Prince Aidan, I believe. Maybe it would be better if it weren't gendered, but it became somewhat important to the plot for the new Diablo host to be Prince Albrecht's big brother and for Leoric to be his father.
@Sloot20 he puts the stone into his forehead because thats what diablo wanted him to do, and by that point the player character was under diablos influence.
Because it is a Zerg sound effect. One of the sound bytes that plays when selecting a Zerg egg in Starcraft 1 will play that effect. It's like the two games were made by the same company! :D
Do you know Warrior's name was Aidan? He was the Prince of Khanduras. Albrecht was his brother, his mother Asylla was murdered by Leoric when he lost his mind... Leoric was Aidan's father. Rogue was Blood Raven and Sorcerer (member of the Vizjerei) became The Summoner. It's strange because when Aidan defeated Leoric he said 'Rest in peace, Leoric. I'll find your son." but he should say "Rest in peace, my father. I'll find my brother." or something like that. DIABLO 1 and DIABLO 2 is the best!
Aiden being retconned into becoming Leoric's son is the product of ignorance of the Diablo III writers. The Diablo I manual clearly states that Albrecht is Leoric's only son.
@@darkphoenix00001 Retconning is always clumsy, at least to a degree. But this wasn’t well done, and nor was it necessary. It doesn’t really make Aidan’s deeds more meaningful, and nor does it really make him a more sympathetic character.
Dude, I played this game for 4 or 5 days, I kill lots of monsters and demons, solve a couple of puzzles, died many times, lost and earned lots of items, and, in the end, I receive this, all the sacrifice, all the wasted time, just to see my aventurer containing the Diablo in himself, I mean, it can be worse, but it give me a really sad feeling
Yep. In Diablo 1, Diablo was in the body of King Leoric's son, Albrecht. After you defeat him, your character puts the stone into his forehead, because Diablo couldn't be contained in the stone forever. Eventually Diablo takes control of your hero, who is then 'The Dark Wanderer' who is the basis for the storyline in Diablo 2. Who the hell knows where the story will go in Diablo 3 though.
... Fighting to retain control, your thoughts turn toward the ancient mystic lands of the far East. Perhaps there, beyond the desolate wastes of Aranoch, you'll find an answer, or perhaps... salvation.
That's Paul Eiding, the voice actor for Colonel Campbell in the Metal Gear Solid series, and the voice actor for Uncle Ben in the various Ben 10 series.
Hearing Grandpa Max narrate the fall of the Lord of Terror and describe the burning Hellfire, Diablo's return, and the struggle for humanity is jarring.
According to the official Blizzard word, he had become corrupted by his journey through Hell; he was not the same person anymore. Also, Diablo played him for a fool allowing himself to attain a much stronger body than the king's son. Hope that helps.
So that's albrech? The king's leoric son? What happened to archishop lazzarus. O can't remember anything, it's been years since the last time I played diablo :'(
That’s not illogical, but if that was the case, then the game should have done more to depict the player’s descent into madness. This came out of nowhere.
Rathman was the Last Surviver of Tristam after the fall of Deckard Cain thee Horadrim where powerful Mages who was founded by Archangel Tyriel , and Two Original Horadric Founding Members Iben Fahd , Tal Rasha which volunteered in containing Baal in Diablo 2
If the idea that the warrior is Aidan is true, he probably went mad when he saw the dead Diablo transform into his brother Albrecht. He might have pierced his skull with the soul stone because he thought he had gone mad and killed his brother for no reason, to match the fate of his brother, or just questioned that anything was real by this point.
@Incendia D2 was still pretty dark. it couldnt be as gothic because you didnt spend the entire time descending further and further into a defiled church. just sayin.
so why did diablos soul stone needed a host? i know baal needed one because it was broken and it needed some one to contain him. but i haven't seen any reason to why Mephisto and diablo needed one.
They didn't need a host, strictly speaking, it's just that by having a host they become much more powerful. The whole plot of Diablo 1 is about him luring the most powerful individual to him that he could, driving them insane so they thought that they could only contain him by jamming the soulstone into their head, then using their body and strength to become more powerful.
so they dident even need to contain him as the people thought and they just couldent put it inside like a chicken :P i know bad idea still. o well what is done is done
+TheBronf I think Blizzard changed the plot and the lore of diablo 1 to accommodate diablo 2. Just like they changed the lore and the plot of diablo 2 to accomodate the silly nonsense of diablo 3. I was hoping to play the sequel of diablo 1 with the same hero and fight the other prime evils and force of hell by facing greater horror and challenges and perhaps even have demonic powers borrowed from the diablo inside while figthing its demonic intrusion. You know something cool and awesome instead of this arcade like game of diablo 2 where you start with other character and completly different classes. Mass effect was awesome because you could keep the same hero through the series and your decision in one game affected the other game. Blizzard instead of pushing the envelop and expanding the lore changes it. It did that with starcraft to make the zergs and the overmind honorable creatures that fought bravely a evil "god". The love story was a nice touch but it did not exist in the original game.
@@ravenandthecrow Dude they didn't change the lore for Diablo 1. This cinematic shows that it was their original idea to have Diablo take over the hero as a more powerful host and move on to the east. In Diablo 2 you go to the east to find out what happened to the hero who is now Diablo and eventually slay him. How did they change the story of Diablo 1? It always ended with the hero turning evil.
1. Strike a deal with the tree of whispers. 2. Trap prime evil within soul stone. 3. Shove soul stone into your forehead. 4. Un-alive yourself. 5. The prime evil is now stuck in the tree of whispers forever.
I still think Blizzard is good today, but man; Diablo 3 sorely needed this kind of feeling. It was a great game, but not a good Diablo one, though Reaper of Souls holds a candle to this for sure.
It just launched like shit on pc... Hardly any content Faggotty micro transaction house Glitches up the ass Server issues made the game basically unplayable a lot of the time for many people... Yup... It sucked ass at first but eventually got patched for the better and the console version is pretty decent. The story elements are still meh but other than that it's a very good coop hack and slash type of a game. Sucks that blizzard teamed up with crapdivision and they are all about that terrible online only micro transaction trash known as over watch.
It is tragic to know that the warrior also is the older prince he was force to kill his father and younger brother even if as a act of mercy only to also become the carrier of the devil and serve as a villian for the next game and if that was not enough it gets worse in 3 talk about a family curse which they did not deserve
9 years later but no. In case of single player even if you saved a game during his death animation, you still won´t be able to continue. In multiplayer, you would be able to rejoin the game and Diablo would dissapear. In community remastered version Diablo Belzebub HD (single player), you can continue after killing Diablo. And game ends when you actually stab with stone yourself.
Our gallant hero, having defeated Diablo, leveraged the jarring visage from the massive stone he unthinkingly and for no reason at all pressed into his forehead, rebranded himself into an aspiring rapper, lil uzi.

Mass effect was awesome because you could keep the same hero through the series and your decision in one game affected the other game.
Blizzard instead of pushing the envelop and expanding the lore changes it. It did that with starcraft to make the zergs and the overmind honorable creatures that fought bravely a evil "god".
The love story was a nice touch but it did not exist in the original game.
it might have been a part of diablo's FULL soulstone
@@ravenandthecrow Dude they didn't change the lore for Diablo 1. This cinematic shows that it was their original idea to have Diablo take over the hero as a more powerful host and move on to the east. In Diablo 2 you go to the east to find out what happened to the hero who is now Diablo and eventually slay him. How did they change the story of Diablo 1? It always ended with the hero turning evil.
That moment is the most intense

Just had the same thought, Colonel Campbell...but from all MGS Parts
So who is the person left behind once Diablo is killed? and why can I not find this answer anywhere.
Aiden Pearce It's Prince Albrecht - King Leoric's son. It's revealed throughout the course of the game.
Thanks man.
what a title
@Nemesis000000 hes roy campbell from metal gear soild, aswell :D
The only stone I'll stick on my head is the mindstone
well, Mephisto's soulstone corrupted the Zakarun after he figured out how to break free from his prison.
0:46 Pause the video, go full Screen and look him in the eyes - Creepy!!! 😱
Blizz retconned the diablo fluff for d3 but you're on the right track with what you've mentioned.
The best game ever made, hands down.
"I do as the Crystal guides."

someone said it was Paul Eiding, looked it up and its the same dude from sacrifice, and tons of other games.
1. Strike a deal with the tree of whispers.
2. Trap prime evil within soul stone.
3. Shove soul stone into your forehead.
4. Un-alive yourself.
5. The prime evil is now stuck in the tree of whispers forever.
Soulstone - Apply directly to the forehead
@louie123451 Tal Rasha is dead. He was a mage of the Horadrim who sacraficed himself to imprison Baal.
I still think Blizzard is good today, but man; Diablo 3 sorely needed this kind of feeling. It was a great game, but not a good Diablo one, though Reaper of Souls holds a candle to this for sure.
It just launched like shit on pc...
Hardly any content
Faggotty micro transaction house
Glitches up the ass
Server issues made the game basically unplayable a lot of the time for many people...
Yup... It sucked ass at first but eventually got patched for the better and the console version is pretty decent. The story elements are still meh but other than that it's a very good coop hack and slash type of a game.
Sucks that blizzard teamed up with crapdivision and they are all about that terrible online only micro transaction trash known as over watch.
What about Diablo IMMORTAL
@@alexnascimento3078 Don´t you guys have phones? Do you?
Is there a recording of the ending music without the sfx somewhere?
This scared the shit out of me when I was a child.
You're right
It is tragic to know that the warrior also is the older prince he was force to kill his father and younger brother even if as a act of mercy only to also become the carrier of the devil and serve as a villian for the next game and if that was not enough it gets worse in 3 talk about a family curse which they did not deserve
He's also the one who "reads" the books to you in diablo 2 i'm pretty sure.
omg. coolest outro EVER! :D
Lil Uzi Vert be like
Yes, perhaps...
Poor Prince Albrecht.
So what could Aiden have done instead?
when u defeated him cant u play further then?
9 years later but no. In case of single player even if you saved a game during his death animation, you still won´t be able to continue. In multiplayer, you would be able to rejoin the game and Diablo would dissapear.
In community remastered version Diablo Belzebub HD (single player), you can continue after killing Diablo. And game ends when you actually stab with stone yourself.
This reminded me of blood for the PC.
Yes.... and...um.... yes.
I LOVE the ending of this game...he's like "who's Diablo now, bitch...that's right, I AM!", LOL! 😆
Unnecessary plothole
Our gallant hero, having defeated Diablo, leveraged the jarring visage from the massive stone he unthinkingly and for no reason at all pressed into his forehead, rebranded himself into an aspiring rapper, lil uzi.
Can anyone explain why hero put soulstone into his forehead?
9 years later, but because he wanted to contain Diablo in his own body, as the soulstone was damaged, so he would eventually escape from it.
the guy at the end sounds like the main char from sacrifice
1:18
Cannot unhear Roy Campbell...
The narrator's voice, who is he??? It sounds shockingly familiar but I cannot remeber from where.
Edit: Nevermind, he is Roy Campbell's voice actor, from MGS series.
and Aldaris from Starcraft
The dude is the Warrior who eventually becomes Diablo , the boy on the floor is King Leoric's son prince albrecht (he dies) and no angels show themsleves until Diablo II and it's expanded improved version Diablo 2: lord of destruction This particular game Diablo is set in the town of Tristram which is later destroyed and overcome by demons as you find out in Diablo II
The voice at the end sounds exactly like a voice actor from starcraft
So the DIABLO on II was the protagonist on Diablo I? WTF?!
All three of PCs from 1 were bosses in 2. The Rogue became Blood Raven, the Sorcerer the Summoner, and the Warrior the Dark Wanderer/Diablo.
Boring
@@nevermore7285 huh ?
What do u mean
@@jacksmith-mu3ee all three player classes/characters in Diablo 1 are bosses in Diablo 2, due to becoming corrupted.
@@nevermore7285 Yeah. People just play and never read and understand nor listen to the LORE! that's why his first comment was BORING 🤣😂
Y'know what other sound remind me of StarCraft? When he's prying the soulstone out of Diablo's head, it makes a very... Zerg-ish noise.
I think the narrator's voice is Col. Campbell from mgs.
I can't help but hear Judicator Aldaris from Starcraft.
@@КонстантинМатвеев-д8ц I think they are both the same voice artists.
you know, a lot of us played this as children but few have actually committed murder even before this came out.
... and I am not talking adulthood, I mean murder as a child of an adult.
it really is difficult to explain to an ordinary person how at one moment you become overwhelmed with the urge to kill & destroy :(
Uhhh… no.. most people don’t. Wtf are you talking about. Nobody here has played Diablo and thought “ damn now I actually want to murder people” your a clown go get help loser
°You will become what you destroy°
O totem
Evie + soul stone it evovles
Hooman + soul stone it devolves
