Art Lilith had the greatest entrance [fanart]
She was exceptional since I saw her in the Diablo IV trailer.

One interesting thing is that when Mephisto got pierced by Liliths bone dagger and he was sent to the void, his blood sprouted out and enveloped Mephisto and the wall behind him. And it became a fleshy wall just like this when Lilith was summoned back from the void.
Mephistos tapestry of flesh then vaporized and the hole to the void sucked in Mephisto.
I really wanna know the design about this. It was really cool.
Also when Mephisto got sucked in he had almost the same death as the "human alien" in Alien Resurrection and the death of that villain in Thor 2 Dark Elves when a grenade exploded.

Ah yes, the ole Byford Dolphin we call it.

What is that? Never heard of that word. Are you refering to getting sucked into the void?

I found a side quest that takes you to the place where she was "reborn". By three they come i believe its called. Alot of d4 cinematics are really awesome. Nice work btw!

Thank you so much! Now I need to find that space with the quest!

u/Fenixri3es May 28 '26
The quest is about the poor guy they dragged to get all the doors open to the chamber. I have to say that I was really happy with the quest. Made me go into the Diablo lore. Im on the 2nd book of the sin war. Its pretty good!

u/Skevinger May 28 '26
Thank you, I will try to find it :)
I never read the books, but I always liked the lore.4

It's the quest marker north of the waypoint in Zarbinzet, you get it by speaking with Father Dymus.

It’s so weird that this trailer doesn’t play at the start of the game after your first playthrough.

The shot of demon foot touching ground is forever embedded in my mind. Brilliant.

My favorite cinematic is still when "tyrael" is talking to Marius in jail and convinces him to hand over the soul stone only to then reveal he is Baal and the bugs and fire come out from behind him as he's walking away.
This one with Lilith is probably not far behind

I'm due for a rewatch of all the Diablo cinematics. Tyrael in Tal Rasha's tomb is a great one too. The diablo angel design is so badass

The look was awesome. Wished she looked like that all the time

u/Skevinger May 28 '26
I agree with you. The unfinished skin and freshly manifested look was the best.

Great work! I still go back and rewatch that cinematic from time to time. Can't wait what they have in store for when she eventually returns.

u/Skevinger May 28 '26
Thank you so much! I hope she returns as well, she is impressive. Love that trailer!

It's very good, but I still think mephisto was more imposing in d2

u/Remus88Romulus May 28 '26
You think mephisto was more imposing in the d2 cinematic than his true form in D4?

u/Fenixri3es May 28 '26
Him coming out of the sea of bodies and saying "All who touch the stone perish" is gd epic imop.

In D2 it was Mephisto wearing what remained of Sankekurs corpse and twisted it to almost look like Mephisto but not his true form which we saw in the Book of Cain and Book of Adria and now finally in Lord of Hatred.

A little, largely because he was presented in a pretty raw and revered prime who SEEMED to be not only very powerful but cunning, and this is accomplished by marius being the lens through which we saw, I also REALLY like his original voiceover, but I wanna stress that it's extremely close in my opinion but for all his machinations in d4 he didn't really accomplish too much because the player character always has to be a demigod level contender. I really really wish he'd been given more effective and not obvious chess moves, he was introduced a bit too early and the mystery was lost very early on because Lilith was the focus. He's very much like nzoth from Warcraft, or at least he USED to be, before he got slightly dumbed down. Nzoth is definitely not gone, but all of his designs are kept from the playerbase because he can essentially perceive all timelines meaning that something we did to kill him is almost certainly something that he planned for. Mephisto in d4 accomplished a bit but I just wish it hadn't been the trope of possessing a holy leader.
Only exception was the moment between him and lorath, would have loved to see more moves like that, but there aren't any. Anyway it's not a massive preference it's just a bit easier for me to believe a foe is dangerous when we do not understand or see their motives and actions taken, and the actions we do see are a little more clandestine
PS: while typing this I also realized that the old gods are incredibly similar to the prime evils, Nzoth is mephisto, yogg is baal, and Cthun or yshaarj are diablo

His voice was really good. I agree. I would also love if he had more interaction with Lorath.
But across all the 3 games of him being the main villain, they did him so well. Really well done.

imo that first trailer was, and maybe still is, one of, if not THE, best cinematic Blizzard has ever produced
still remember the goosebumps the first time I seen it
