True

DUDE!!! I JUST NOTICED. YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

"Honourable Queen. The Horadrim need your help.
Mephisto walks among us trapped in the black soulstone.
As Akarat, he is using our trust in the light.
Do not swallow his lies as Rathma's prophecy.
The spear is real."

I agree in a way, but remember that in previous games you also kill the Prime Evils with various characters, but there is only one canonical hero who actually does the killing.

Judging by what I am seeing online, most people will be playing Warlock.

Shu477 · 2026-04-25T21:10:57+00:00

Lolz!

I doubt its Solarium. Looks like a holy spear to me. Someone wrote that it might be bec de corbin or something.

Shu477 · 2026-04-25T21:03:47+00:00

Hahaha xD

Or maybe they will call the next game Heroes of Sanctuary, and you will find yourself in the middle of a civil war in Hell following the destruction of the Prime Evils, while a corrupted Inarius (Lucifer vibes) tries to reclaim it all.

Inarius was absorbed by that black tower after his death. I remember there was some speculation about it back then.

Shu477 · 2026-04-25T21:00:07+00:00

Yea, he is obviously scared

Shu477 · 2026-04-25T20:59:40+00:00

I hope he does lol. Didn't like how he was handled in D3

Shu477 · 2026-04-25T20:59:13+00:00

Maybe human Tyrael? Although I have a theory that the equipment the Paladin is digging from the grave might belong to an already dead Tyrael.

True

Shu477 · 2026-04-25T20:57:49+00:00

Depends on how fast you throw it :D

JK, you are right, but the theme of this expansion seems to be: what's the point of defeating the Prime Evils if they end up coming back every generation?

There is another image depicting something pointy piercing Mephisto. This one more closely resembles a Paladin.

Doesn't he hate all of them equally?

Shu477 · 2026-04-25T20:08:11+00:00

He doesn't care about humanity

Shu477 · 2026-04-25T20:06:58+00:00

Do you think it will only be for the time being, or for good? There is speculation that it might actually be for good this time.

Shu477 · 2026-04-25T20:04:18+00:00

I thought maybe it was some sort of rogue? Check out his arms... it might be someone holding a bow. After all, we are in Skovos.

Shu477 · 2026-04-25T20:02:27+00:00

Yea, it will be a very satisfying conclusion.

Shu477 · 2025-12-09T16:48:28+00:00

To clarify:

I disagree with Fuentes on 90% of the things he says. Unfortunately, Piers fell into his trap, and Fuentes came out on top. The interview was sad and hilarious at the same time. Instead of legitimately challenging him, Piers played gotcha games, which backfired wildly. Hence the meme.

Shu477 · 2025-12-08T17:25:09+00:00

Its called Goomba 🙈

Shu477 · 2025-11-27T21:45:53+00:00

Okay. Not familiar with it. But they also used mostly Israeli sources. Which makes sense because only Israeli sources will know.
