Prologue:
Diablo 4 Journeys. Who to choose, what to level up
In the opening cutscene, four adventurers opened an underground temple using their blood. One of them turns out to be a necromancer, forcing a human to recite a prayer that will summon her—Lilith, the Daughter of Hatred.
Choose one of 5 heroes: barbarian, necromancer, wizard, rogue, or druid. Each class allows you to choose any gender, face and body type, hair, and accessories. Enter a name. Select the type of tutorial hints and difficulty: adventurer or veteran.
- Twilight on the Mountain
We’ll reach the snow-covered cave on horseback. We’ll begin the game. There are a few wolves along the way. Enter the house to the north and talk to the villagers, Osven and Vanya. Together, we’ll go to the neighboring house and receive a quest.
- Darkness in the depths
To the north, we enter the Icehowl dungeons. To the northeast are the Corridors of Hell’s Vices, within which are swift beasts, and further on, fallen devils.
Boss: Z’Fal the Scarred Baron . Enter the summoning chamber from the prologue. Examine the decapitated priest, and the first boss will appear. Dodge his jumps, the blood star on the floor, and his fiery projectiles.
- The Hero’s Return
On the surface, we head back to the village of Nevesk and talk to Vanya. The villagers will treat us, get us drunk, and then take our body to the barn. They all turn out to be fanatics.
- Hero’s Reward
The madman Joseph saves us, and together we fight off the villagers. We take the chapel key from Vanya’s body. In the south, we unlock the chapel and examine the strange petals.
- Prayers for salvation
We’ll see the story of how the local priest and parishioners saw Lilith, and she took control of them. When we wake up, Joseph will instruct us to warn another hermit and bring him to the Cathedral.
- In Search of Answers
We continue north, activating Lilith’s altar along the way; it will permanently boost our stats slightly. A little further on is a basement entrance with additional activity. We enter the caves and fight spiders. In a large clearing to the north, we examine the hut, move the top cabinet, and find a secret room. The hermit, Lorath, will stop by later, returning from hunting.
- Dedication
We need to escort Lorath to Kiowashad. We’ll make our way through the forest filled with fallen. At the crossroads, Lorath will examine the statue of the angel Inarius. At the gate, we’ll learn that we need to undergo a purification ritual. At the stand, we’ll choose the sin that’s haunting us: fear, anger, pride, or greed.
- Missing links
In the city, we go to the blacksmith Ozren and turn right. We’ll receive a strange amulet, and we can sell our excess weapons and armor. We show Lorat the amulet; it belongs to the Horadrim. Lorat himself will leave for the Dry Steppes, and he’ll send us to look for another Horadrim. We can get our horse from the stables.
Act I: Steel Faith (Level 5)
Diablo IV Walkthrough, guide gamesisart.ru
1.1 Bad news
In the north of the city, we enter the Cathedral of Light. Joseph is already here, receiving communion from the Reverend Mother Prava. We learn that they were planning to send Lorath, but now they’ll send us to Yelesna to search for the knight Vigo. We pick up Vigo’s report from the table.
1.2. Faded Glory
We leave the city to the east. Wolves, bears, birds, skeletons, and fallen creatures are scattered across the plains. There’s an event in the central clearing: you must repel waves of darkness within a minute. Reward: obols, a currency that can be spent at curio merchants. In the southern settlement of Yelesna, we speak with Captain Ankers.
1.3. The Knight and the Magpie
We continue on to the mines, past skeleton crossbowmen, and a soldier camp along the way. At the mine entrance stands the knight Vigo, and nearby is a girl named Neirella, who’s searching for her missing mother. The knight will let us through, but the elevator inside is broken, so we’ll have to take a detour. Skeletons get in the way.
1.4. Getting Started
In the cursed mines, we head to the locked door. A girl will crawl in next to us and start unlocking the door from behind. We need to defend ourselves from the skeletons for a couple of minutes. Further along the path, there are cave-ins; we wait them out and run past them in time.
1.5. Below
We’ll see a statue of Lilith. We’ll go down the stairs from below. We’ll release the body from the elevator mechanism, and the elevator will turn on.
1.6. Following her
All the knights are dead behind the stone door. We speak with the dying Grendan. Vigo will go for reinforcements. We jump the chasm, descend below, and examine the red spot. We’ll see a memory of Lilith luring Venard’s mother to her.
Next, we read several entries and run away from exploding monsters. To the west, we explore the Black Lake. In the search zone, we climb down the wall on the right, and find doors at the bottom.
1.7. Storming the Gates
Before the red gates, there’s another memory: Lilith led Venard to her son, Rathma, the first necromancer. Beyond the gates are squads of imps and shamans; we defeat the shamans first. We clear all the tunnels. At the next red gate, there’s a demon miniboss, a memory.
Sunset Cloisters. Beyond the gates are large monsters, explosive enemies, and succubi. We’ll reach the locked door, and Neirella will begin opening it with magic, and we’ll have to defend ourselves for 45 seconds.
1.8. The Price of Knowledge
Sorrowful Shore. We’ll find Venard at the large platform where she performed the bloody ritual. She’s already led Lilith across the lake, and if she refuses to leave, we’ll engage in battle.
Boss: Venard . She herself is invulnerable, but summons several monsters linked to her by lines. You must kill them all, repeating several times. Once defeated, Neirella will be left to mourn her mother.
The Quests of the Angel Inarius
1.9. The Path of Light
We teleport back to the city and speak with Joseph in the cathedral. We learn that the Reverend has left for Kor Valar and we need to catch up with her there. In the city, you can upgrade your weapons and health potions.
1.10. Kor Valar
Far to the northeast, we cross an ice rift and find the Bear Tribe’s Refuge. We proceed to the castle gates. Inside, we see Vigo mourning the fallen knights. Together, we go to see the Reverend Mother Prava. She will send us to the Alabaster Monastery to cleanse her spirit.
1.11. Pilgrimage
South of the castle, speak with Vigo. We descend through the icy cliffs, killing Frost Clan monsters. At the top, use the altar. Take the idol and receive a temporary stat weakening. While weakened, take the idol to the center of the cliffs, to the Altar of Martyrdom, and read the “Message to the Sufferer.” Carry the idol further to the 2nd altar and read the “Message to the Seeker.” Near the 3rd altar, there’s a miniboss; read the “Message to the Penitent.” Take the idol and return it to the Alabaster Monastery.
1.12. Justice of Light
Alabaster Peak. Hall of Ascension. We climb the stairs and examine the large paintings on the platforms above. Beyond the gates we’ll meet the angel Inarius, but he won’t grant us his blessing.
1.13. Light protection
Let’s return to the holy mother and receive her blessing.
Neyrella’s tasks
1.14. Get off the path
Werewolves and tree monsters are attacking in the forest. In Neyrella’s “Mistral Forest” search zone, we head to the northern dead end and enter the Looping Path cave.
1.15. Shroud of the Horadrim
Inside the cave, tree monsters and angry spirits attack. In the labyrinth, we head northwest, encounter a bloodied beast, and enter a red portal. We’ll find ourselves in Tristram’s Vision. The wolf will tell us that he’s already helped us and will continue to help us stop Lilith. Through the next portal, he’ll take us straight to Neirella. Together, we clear the Glade in the forest and examine the three-faced statue.
1.16. Inexperienced student
We’ll go with the girl to the Horadrim vault. There’s a sealed door on the way; go around to the right and pick up the book. Neirella can open the doors with spells. Search all the rooms.
Boss: She-Devil, Herald of Lilith . In the circular hall, fight the demon, dodging red projectiles and area-of-effect attacks. After defeating her, take the book “Mastery of Death: Theories of Rathma” and bring it to Neirella.
1.17. Transition to another world
We’re transported back to the cave, to the Black Lake. The girl uses the book to revive her mother. Venard will help us perform the blood ritual again to catch up with Lilith.
1.18. Descent
Along the way, we’ll encounter the ghost of Rathm, and then ghoul enemies. Continue listening to the ghost’s prophecy. We’ll explore the entire labyrinth, destroying four tumors of hatred; they’ll open new bloody doors. Beyond the main gate, listen to the dialogue between the angel and the ghost. We’ll enter the Sanctuary of Balance.
Boss: Lilith’s Elegy . This demon creates acid pits on the floor, streams of acid flowing from side to side. Once it fills everything with blood, hide under the protective dome of the knight who will come to our aid.
After victory, we’ll see Vigo in the knight’s armor; he’ll die. We’ll receive Vigo’s protective amulet. In the shrine, there’s a memory: Llith came to Rathm’s body and took the key to the gates of hell from his staff.

Creaking skeletons. We follow the only path through the water. On the right, we break through the flooded door. Neirella will feel ill, and Lorath will strike her with a fire weapon. Neirella will lose her left hand. At the end of the path, we examine the coffin.
5.17. At the bottom of the dark red sea
The coffin will transport us underground to the Epiphasic Gate. We’ll see the ghost of Elias’s Echo, and then another one. In the Diaphysis Corridor, we head northeast, destroy the column, and continue along it.
Near the bookshelf, we listen to Elias’s Echo; he learned the secret of eternal life from Rathma. We head east, through the Corrupted Marrow. We’ll find Elias’s mummified finger. We run back, but the water level will quickly rise, and we’ll drown.

Let’s head back to Rakhat. Follow Donan to the Black Tomb of Sankekur, right inside the fortress. Near the tomb, Donan will begin the ritual again. Descend into the Vile Crypt, where we’ll encounter an enemy.
Boss: Elias, Fallen Horadrim . Dodge the area-of-effect spells and kill the smaller monsters. Towards the end, the enemy will summon larger demons. Once we defeat them, Elias will hear that he has lost his immortality and flee. Taissa will chase after him.
5.20 Knee-deep in filth
We follow Taissa and go look for Elias in the Plague Fen. We’ll find the dying Elias; he’ll tell us he summoned Lilith to fight the forces of the underworld. Taissa will take his head for the Whispering Tree. We’ll say goodbye to the witch Taissa.
5.21. Choir of voices
We move to the Whispering Tree. Donan interrogated Elias’s head about where to find Lilith, but in exchange, he will also pay with his own head after death.
Act VI: Dance of the Makers (Level 35+)
Diablo 4. Who is the final boss?
6.1. Evil Raises Its Head in Kejistan
We travel to Tarsarak and speak with Neyrella. The allies have already left for Caldeum, and the knights of the angel Inarius have also departed.
6.2. Pearl of the East
We ride west through the desert to the city of Caldeum. We’ll meet our allies, surrounded by the aftermath of a massive battle. Together, we head to the Residential Quarter. We enter through the large gates and hear the angel Inarius speak to the knights. We show him the soul stone, he’ll take it and fly off to fight Lilith himself. We proceed to the next hall, protecting the reverend mother from demons.
6.3. The pogrom in Caldea
Together with a squad of knights, we advance toward the Gates of Hell. We kill the fallen, clear the rooftops of ambushes, crawl left, and encounter a large demon.
Boss: Uznu the Destroyer . He attacks with a sword and fire spells.
The knights will breach the wall below, revealing a crowd of smaller enemies. We climb up to the square and activate the winch.
6.4. Trembling Walls
The knights will pass through the gate, leaving us behind. We’ll find a way around it, heading along the western corridors. To the north, we’ll enter the Dirty Tank, where a Greater Demon will attack us.
Boss: Duriel, Lord of Pain . This is a huge, spiked caterpillar that often hides underground, strikes close to targets, and summons tiny larvae.
6.5. Turning the Tide of the Battle
The Imperial Palace. We speak with our allies and descend to the Gates of the Underworld. We examine the bloody petals: we see Lilith entering her father’s domain. We follow her.
Underworld (level 45+)
6.6 The Essence of Hatred
We’ll make our way through the following locations: Gateway to Sanctuary, Abyssal Slope, and Agony’s Embrace. Along the way, we’ll encounter hordes of powerful demons, fallen ones, and shamans. We’ll stand by the hellfire, where waves of enemies will emerge. Further on, we’ll reach the Burning Bridge, where we’ll see crazed knights and the dying Reverend Mother Prava. Donan will give her a potion to drink.
6.7. In the Nest of Devastation
Desolate fields, climb up a hill to the west. We pass through hellfire, fighting off demons. There are three demon minibosses along the way. Further locations: Winding Path, Scorching Expanse. We’ll encounter a huge demon behind a stone wall.
Boss: Ashava the Plague . The demon swipes her arms in a circle, spreads poison in streaks, and jumps from place to place. Always stay behind her.
6.8. Fading Light
The Spire of Torment. We examine a memory in petals: the Reverend Mother, an army of knights, and an angel confronted the demons. Inarius attempted to kill Lilith, but the other demons protected her. In the cave, Inarius pierced Lilith with a spear, but this did not help him return to heaven. He lost his faith, and Lilith tore off his wings and killed him.
We move on and use the Unseen Eye. Donan will be hit by a undead creature hanging from the ceiling. We fight off the remaining undead.
6.9. Blind Eye
We peer into the eye and witness the meeting of Lilith and Astaroth. She looks at us, and we find ourselves in the Nightmare, on the stone islands. We run through the empty corridors and meet a priest from Nevesk. We fight the deceased knights. We reach the sarcophagus. Lilith offers to kill Mephisto together, but we refuse.
We exit through the fiery portal, meet Mephisto himself, and receive his blessing. Next, we fight demons and numerous minibosses, all of whom are previously defeated bosses: Genbar, Brol, Iris, Elias, and Astaroth . After defeating them all, use the Unseen Eye and exit the nightmare.
6.10. What awaits us
We’ll watch Donan die. Lorath will stay with him. Let’s go find Neirella, across the Burning Sea. Mephisto will open a portal for us to the Cathedral of Hatred. We’ll reach the throne. Neirella won’t trust the demon and will decide to use the soulstone to imprison Mephisto. She’ll leave through the portal, and we’ll stay behind to hold off Lilith.
Boss: Lilith, creator of Sanctuary . Up close, she attacks with her claws and wings, and from afar, she creates triple claw slashes on the ground, leaps, and waves of spikes on the ground. She is assisted by smaller monsters.
Boss: Lilith, Daughter of Hatred . She will begin creating red explosive dots on the ground, dark lines that cover almost the entire screen. She will gradually cause sections of the floor to collapse, and the arena will become smaller and smaller.
Once we defeat her, Lilith will turn to stone and crumble. We return to Lorath through the fiery portal. We learn that Neirella didn’t return with the stone, and we need to look for her in the cathedral.
Diablo 4 Epilogue: The Final Story
- Promises
We’ll arrive at the cathedral with Lorath, but Neirella isn’t there either. Joseph will arrive with a squad of knights, and they’ll try to kill us as heretics. Lorath will go bury his friend, and we’ll continue searching for Neirella.
- A heavy burden
We’ll travel to Yelesna. Along the way, we’ll recall Neyrella’s words about her mother, that she would try to save her. We’ll enter the Prytvorch building, explore the empty rooms, and find only a letter.
- Legacy of the Horadrim
We travel to the Fire Barrier Estate. We speak with Lorath; he will read the encrypted letter. Neirella decided to leave the Horadrim, setting off alone to find a way to defeat evil, and asked that no one look for her. She sailed away on a ship, the wolf spirit Mephisto with her.
- Whispers of the Dead
After the credits, talk to Lorath. He’ll refuse to look for Neirella; she’s decided to become the new guardian of the stone, and there’s no need to go against her wishes. We’ll travel to the Whispering Tree and speak with Elias’s head. The other heads will offer to collect their debts in exchange for wealth and power.
