- Stay awhile and listen.
This is the story of Blizzards Diablo universe, told through trailers, game videos, voice acting from the games and the amazing artwork of both concept artists and fans! Sit back and enjoy as I let you (re)discover the universe through the eyes of Leah as she looks through Cains books and writings!
This is a great way to brush up on your Diablo lore, and get in the mood for the upcoming game!
I do NOT own the rights for the artwork of this movie, neither have I made any of it, I have only edited it in a way I thought would make a great story.
For the most in depth and thrilling immersion into this universe, I suggest you play the actual games ;-) I did, and I loved it!
This video is made from:
Diablo I
- Some in-game voice acting (Narrator)
- Some music
- All game cinematics
Diablo II
- Some in-game voice acting (Deckard Cain)
- Most of the music
- All game cinematics (including the expansion)
Diablo III
- Opening Cinematic
- Black Soulstone
- Wrath
- Teaser
Deckard Cains Diary
- All pages with audio
The Book Of Cain
- Some artwork
Fan art from the community - Hry
Stay awhile and listen he said... in meanwhile I haven't moved yet since 2002 and still listening.
me too ran outa popcorn quick. been dry for 15 years
I've been listening since 1996. Cain's story is legendary.
I would pay top dollar for an audiobook version of all the lore and journal entries read by deckard
I would pay top dollar for the Diablo 1 narrator too
I’m revisiting lore to refresh my memory for D4. Who else is super excited?!
Riley Dinkleman that’s exactly what I’m doing because that’s exactly how I feel as well mi amigo
evynaeron do you play D2 and if so, what server? I’m US West. Ladder resets in 5-6 days. Let’s team up bro
I’m is west also. I don’t have an online version. But I’ll get one going. I’ve been playing plugy.
Im only 18 and Im new to the game and I have to say that this lore is freaking fucking awsome! (Big fan of dark souls lore too)
Based on how D3 came out, I can't get excited about D4 the game. This series, however, is some of my favourite high fantasy lore, and quarantine is an excellent time to remember it all.
Great job putting together these videos and helping a newb understand the lore
The voice actor that read the original lore tomes in the games was literally a 9.5/10. Brilliant.
i loved this video for few reasons i loved the editing of old and new cuts from the games to make it look like one video good job brah
Heroes of the Storm brought me here. I'm an avid WoW player and never played Diablo before. Was just curious to what the story was behind Diablo.
NightEye Heroes of the storm brought you here? that's unexpected.
chrystalian Why is that unexpected?
NightEye It is unexpected namely because Heroes of the storm isn't that popular and since diablo has been around for so long - there are many other excuses to learn about its story line or so you would think.
chrystalian Cool Diablo characters on Heroes of the Storm was enough excuse for me to get curious enough to look up the lore of the game. Everyone has their way of being introduced to something.
Heroes of the storm brought me here too because Tyrael looks cooler than any Palidan in WoW. Great story, will be getting Diablo soon.
I never understood how Imperius, being the head of the council, could be so impatient and not heed the council of the Angels before just slaying Diablo. Auriel was right, sacrilege...
YOU KNOW THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MOVIE :)
+crazydoodler They should make a Diablo movie, depicting the first game that would be quite interesting. Could work, in my opinion
+crazydoodler this is a movie
+Oliver Draathelvete Not likely, Did you see the "Warcarft" Trailer?
I don't want them embarrassing this great franchise too.
+ffejpsycho But if someone could do it right, it would be amazing! I nominate Guillermo del Toro.
Yeah, He definitely has the mind, potential, and fervor.
I'd be interested in a Lucio Fulci, or Dario Argento Diablo, that'd be crazy
This is amazingly well done. As someone who has been playing since the original Diablo, this is a walk down memory lane.
"This was your trap Diablo? Pitiful..."
"Yet, here you all are."
The most badass quote of this entire segment.
Baal, Lord of Sassyness.
Thanks for your effort in making this video, i really enjoyed it, i never stay to watch a video so long, i don't have the patience but this one kept me.
Nicely done, congratz!
Only Blizzard could make an evil and grim dark boss look like barney the dinosaur, all meant for freaking children.
awais anwar yep!!
Thank you for this! I finaly understand the full genious of this game! Blizzard know how to make legendary storries!
Good Job! Played all the games and all I can say is, that this is very well edited!
Thanks!
I swear, of all the Prime Evils, Baal has GOT to be my favorite. Every one of his lines from him convincing Marius to tell his tale mysteriously, to him leaving his armies of hell rain down upon Mount Arreat..... GOD DAMN is he Destructive. No wonder
Wow man, you pieced this together pretty well.
I tried uploading it with un-flipped videos, but it got blocked.
I like how Cain goes all Sean Connery around 14:30.
May i stand up and applaud you. Great Lore Movie. THX
Probably one of the most well made videos I've ever seen. Instant sub from me.
You did such a good job with this. Thank you.
i have finally began to play a Diablo game after all these years. I choose 3 and am so greatful for this video. this lore is really intriguing and am looking forward to playing part 3 no matter what ppl say about it. great video and thx for the upload
Loved that music from the first game. Nice to hear it again.
Amazingly well done man thanks!
This is great, thanks so much for putting this together. I am a huge diablo fan and know the lore very well but this is still interesting and so well constructed. Loving every second.
Job well done. That's a marvelous way to recap the story into the IIIrd game.
Well-edited and detailed, have an upvote sir.
This was really well done. Good Job.
diablo lore is awesome
bur lapse Diablo I and II are legendary but 3 is crap
excellent job on this video!
Thomas Pape, Can you re upload this with all the reaper content added to it at the end??
I wish the Druid was in D3. That was my favourite guy.
Well he's in D4 now :)
Thành Lã WOOOOO
awesome, compiled very nicely, apparently i didnt catch on to the ticking. thank you for a job well done. Sincerely, a long time diablo fan
You sir, did a very good job..editing this video!! Thank you
This was well made. Good job.
love it ^^ thanks for this recap, useful for me who didn't have the chance to play diablo 1
This is very impressively done.
Really excellent job man.
SO informative, thank you ^^
great job done here.i think Blizzard have done incredible job on the storyline same as starcraft and warcraft. i kinda miss how great the storyline of starcraft 1 is.
22:58 Leah says "This doesn't make any sense to me uncle" well off course not Leah you're writing backwards!
hhahahahahahahahhahahahahah good one
Maybe she's secretly japanese? They read and write from left to write but in columns.
A lot of effort!! appreciated!!
Nice job man. Thanks for the video. :)
Very satisfying to watch. I solute you. Applaud
tnx for the post mate!
This is great, perfect Diablo world video.
This is awesome I never played the first diablo so this really clear things up for me thank you
Blizzard should make movies of all their game titles. Like they are doing with Warcraft :)
The movie will suck.
honestly they could do it totally in CGI like their cinematics and i'd be happy because those look amazing
Ethan Kahrl
That's not a bad idea.
unclesamxlr my point exactly
Ристу Георгиев A movie of Diablo would be filthy.
This is a Great mashup

dude - awesome work. thnx
Holy freaking crap that was amazing!
i dont really care about the ticking but the way the story is told is intense and grim, i love it!
This was pretty cool!
Amazing, thanks for this
good job dude!
One problem with the story (that is the fault of the Diablo 3 writers) is that the warrior of Diablo 1 was turned into "Prince Aiden" by the Diablo 3 writers. If this is to be canon, you'd think Aiden would have been able to tell that the boy Lazarus abducted was not his brother. Instead Cain had to tell him that wasn't the prince (16:30). By the way, Cain, you've been charging the Prince 100 gold pieces to identify shit. You should be ashamed.
Diablo 3 is not canon for me.
But it is officially cannon. So you are in denial?
Diablo 3 writting is nothing short of disappointment :( So yes
I know this comment is old but maybe Aiden left before his brother was even born, he is a child in Diablo 1 after all. Of course this is a BIG maybe since Diablo 3 retcon so much and introduced so many plot holes is difficult to make sense of the history anymore.
Hey man, it's free real estate. Gotta make that gold!
(As far as seriously responding to retcons, it would be nice if they didnt go and fuck everything up. And rip up the nice continuity that the first 2 had but I have found that the 3rd game in a series is always disappointing at best. I cant name a 3 that I liked more than 1 and 2 of a series.
cool video, now i am up to date with all the lore i need to play Diablo3 :)
LOVE THIS!
love the vid man im going to favorite it
great work, thanks
I'm in slick and awe. I had to light 2 cigarettes and think for like 20 mins after the video. It reminds me of when I watched the avengers
A Diablo movie NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
Very awesome thank you. Where did the animated cartoon portion at the very beginning come from?
Wow thanks now i can start Diablo 3!
i am watching this before i start D3, i have watched videos on the D1 and D2. I just want to make sure i haven't missed any of the lore from the first two. So therefore i would be watching any of D3 stuff.
Majority of the actual good lore isn't in the games though. Try rhyker's ( you tube channel) playlist on diablo lore.
Sick video, Wish id seen it before i blitzed through D3
Da good D1 and D2 music
Im still pissed that Cain was killed by a butterfly. Blizzard should have had the foresight to make him Belilie.
+Chris Wilson lol cain as belial... hmm now thats what i call the long con. especially since he fights himself in the book the order so it would be some time spacial rifting shit going on their but hey answer to all questions "uhh it was magic"....:P
+Chris Wilson That, at least, would have been unexpected. For being the Lord of Lies, everyone had that kid pegged as the bad guy from the first moment we laid eyes on him. Upvote for being smarter than the folks over at Blizzard.
+Brad Simpson This whole "Comment chain of End Times" would have been amazing
Most people can think of a better, more compelling story for Diablo 3, that doesn't mean it's that simple, sadly. Blizzard as it is today is trying to appeal to a broader audience, and thus increase their profits. This goes for their other franchises as well. A broader audience/gamers basically means simpler, more easy to follow plots and less subtlety, it also sadly means more quick and easy rewards and flashy colors to keep the younger gamers hooked.
At the end of the day Actiblizzard is a company like any other and the one thing they care the most about, more than anything else by a landslide, is making money. And when it comes to movies and games the real money is in the younger demographic . Sadly.
ha lol actiblizzard nice
I love how the Angel of Fate moved across the battlefield in the animated short. No wasted effort, if any at all. As if reality itself dictated that his victims were to died. he just appears, his sword draws, the enemy dies, and on to the next. Perfect representation of what the Angel of Fate should be.
Haha, the nice diablo 2 music on the background ^^
i dont know if you still read comments on this video but awesome work. watched the whole thing because im a hardcore fan of the series.
major props!!
As a precaution to avoid CZcams blocking the vid on copyright claim, maybe?
Pretty well put together, but why did you have some of the cinematics flipped horizontally?
That voice at the start made me remember the good ol game of sacrifice on pc
So in short: Deckard Cain is a legendary coulda-woulda-shoulda slacker ... Awesome vid though :)
Thanks for bringing that up bro, now I fucking hear it
A masterpiece!!!
Diablo II the best.
Man, Diablo 2 is the best RPG game no doubt. Watching this want me to replay it, not the fancy graphic, but the unmatchable atmosphere of Di2.
Unmatchable atmosphere? Dude play D1 and see what atmosphere really means...
Gonna have to agree with Mark Mauk here. I mean I like Diablo 2 more, but Diablo 1 had the atmosphere. It was amazing to say the least.
From which game/source is the animation starting at 2:20?
This would make an amazing video game!
OMG did you made this footage ! Cause its amazing. every cinematic and the book was placed so well, i read the Book of Cain this is liike a replica of itself in video amazing thumbs up :D
9:43 nice calligraphy Deck!!
This is so cool.I have never played diablo but now i want to play the game.Would it be ok if i just play diablo 3 or do i need to play the 1st and 2nd toO?
I'd also like to point out Blizzard hasn't had a unique good idea for some time both W.O.W. and D3 chose to make Cartoon heroes in fairy tale rainbow worlds but War Craft 1,2, and 3 and Diablo 1 and 2 had already attracted an entirely different brand of Gamer if that is not a statement saying "we are throwing away our fan base to make room for children that we will throw away later" then what is?
If I were an Angel and having to see the unangel like behavior of Imperious I would be suspicious AF.
Tal Rasha was the leader of the Horadrim during the hunt for Prime Evils. When Mephisto was caught, the magi chased Baal to the desert near Lut Gholein. Unfortunately, when the Horadrim tried to imprison the Lord Of Destruction, he shattered the Soulstone into pieces. It became clear that the stone could contain his essence forever. Zoltun Kulle suggested that one of them has to imprison Ball within his own body and Tal'Rasha volounteered.
I played the first one as if there was no tomorrow when I was young, but no other after that. Where does these animations (specially the one from the beginning,) come from? Diablo 3?
Where are those cartoon scenes from? Never seen them! (Clip around 5:00)
the art and cutscenes still are better than whole game
Great video
There is no alternate dimensions of Sanctuary (the world of Diablo). I'd love to hear Blizzard's official statement on how they manipulated the story-line to bring back Mephisto and Diablo into the picture. As well why they didn't finish off the story of Lord of Destruction where the world is "changed" by the destruction of The World Stone. I think they just wanted to make D3 an "epic" story without putting much thought and regard into the already laid out story path before it.
Tons of criticism about Diablo 3 on here. Have you played it lately? They are definitely developing it in the right direction. It has become really fun again. This is just my opinion of course. This new patch 2.2 has some really exciting changes. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to put this together. Great video :)
I have been playing a lot of Diablo 3 lately and it's quite fun still.I am level 27 as a wizard and got 2 legendary weapons.I can't seem to find legendary armor, just weapons.
+Ben Moreno Update a year later ITS EVEN BETTER!!!
you're talking gameplay, not lore. I had to stop playing the game for a few years out of sheer disappointment of how terribly they picked up the story. They made it near impossible to make a sequel, and if they do so, they'll have to jump the shark so much more to the point that the franchise runs the risk of being on life support.
It has been always fun since the very reléase, but that's it, it has a nice and fun gameplay, but back in the day Diablo 1 and 2 were awsome due to the gothic and dark theme it had, the lore and story telling was really cruel and vicious, Diablo 3 its a fucking game for kids, all colorful and cheerful, with tons of jokes and humor in it, that's not the sequel we wanted.
I don't think you could argue D3 is any less Gothic. Plenty of regions in D2 like act 2 are no more gothic than say the least gothic in D3, Caldeum. and in terms of architecture, only Act 1 of D2 had truly gothic architecture, which is the same as D3.
hm, i wonder, where did you get the audio version of deckard cains diary?
They're scatted throughout Diablo 3.
Rathead - it specifically states that Andariel and Duriel are 2 of the 7. Diablo, Baal, and Mephisto are the Prime Evils. Duriel, Andariel, Azmodan, and Belial are the Lesser Evils. Those are the 7 Evils of the Burning Hells.
34:22 wow, and ancient book with a video posted
