This isn’t the only return of characters seen in previous Diablogames, asDiablo 4players know some names like Ashava the Pestilent, a giant demon with massive blades on its arms, who was previously seen inDiablo Immortal. Another character familiar to fans is Lyndon the Scoundrel, aDiablo 4NPC who appeared inDiablo 3and theReaper of Soulsexpansion. It’s impossible not to mention Butcher, ademon who gaveDiablo 4players nightmares, who was seen before inDiablo,Diablo 3, andDiablo Immortal. ForDiablo 4Season 5, Blizzard is bringing back faces familiar to seasonedDiabloplayers.
During the Campfire Chat broadcast on August 1,Diablo 4revealed footage of the Fell Council. Formed by Geleb the Flame, Bremm the Maelstrom, Wyand the Shadow, Maffer the Cruel, and Ismael the Accursed, the characters will be the bosses ofDiablo 4’s new mode, Infernal Hordes. When players beat the enemy waves, three random members of the Fell Council will appear for battle. According toDiablo 4, there will be 10 possible variations of this encounter, which the devs believe will “create many different flavors of the boss fight.”
Diablo 4 Bringing Back Diablo 2 Characters in New Game Mode
For veteran players, the presence of the Fell Council is nothing new, asDiablo 4’s new enemies were one of thethreats seen inDiablo 2. In the second game in the franchise, the council members were once generous men who led Zakarum. Their fight to contain Mephisto was unsuccessful, and they were all corrupted and transformed into agents of evil with powerful abilities. Eventually,Diablo 2players had to send the group straight to hell.
WhenDiablo 4’s fifth season begins, players who defeat the Fell Council will receive Burning Aether. With this currency, players will be able to buy Spoils of Hell, chests into whichDiablo 4will place Legendary and Unique items, Summoning Materials, and Gold. But this won’t be the only new feature of the fifth season, which will bring content such as more questlines, a new battle pass, and the anticipatedrework ofDiablo 4’s Uniques.
