Secret Post-Credits Scene in Diablo 4

Recommended Posts

It seems there might be an additional scene after the credits roll on Diablo 4's campaign! Several players have spotted this, but it's only popping up after a second campaign completion, and it's a very short glimpse. A glimpse of what exactly is going to be the interesting discussion going forward, with many theories already arising.

The Post-Credits Scene

We missed this one back at the game's launch and there have been reports of it for a while now. So, let's take a look at what all the fuss is about! There is a very slight chance this is all just an elaborate hoax. However, considering the many posts about it over the past weeks and players reporting it, it seems real - but we haven't seen this one ourselves to confirm.

Like we said above, there have been reports of this basically since day 3 of early access, but they haven't really made headlines from what we've been able to find. The above video's author, AnActualSadTaco, recently brought the subject back. They also had an interesting theory of possible additional length to the scene after even more campaign playthroughs:

"So, a buddy of mine mentioned that he had seen comments saying people had witnessed some after credit scene on a second completion of the campaign. I was immediately interested in seeing if this were true and rolled a new character last night and speedran it and sure enough? There's a brief new scene at the end of the credits that was not there the first time.

To make sure that I didn't just skip it on my first completion, I found a random Twitch stream that watched through the entire credits of what I'm fairly confident was their first completion and the hell scene did not happen, it just cut straight back to gameplay. We were thinking that maybe on each new completion the cutscene could get longer? Unlikely, but a fun idea! If I can work up the motivation, may roll another character again and see if anything new happens or if the scene gets longer."

Who Is the Red One?

There's not much to go on, but oh so many options. The most obvious being it's just a very different-looking Diablo, teasing his return. It could also be much more interesting, Inarius fallen back down to hell and reborn! We can't forget Baal, Belial or any of the Prime and Lesser evils. Then there's also Lucion, Mephisto's son and Lilith's brother.

A reverse google image search didn't exactly help, other than suggesting it may be the Balrog from Lord of the Rings or WoW's Deathwing, so it doesn't seem it's a known piece of art from the franchise at least. However, if we go by the image alone, Lucion does seem like a solid pick:

So, what do you think? Did we just get our first tease for what's to come? And just who is that?

I doubt it's the Butcher, he's basically a juggernaut in the game hunting you rarely in dungeons and it would feel pretty weird for me to suddenly give him a role this big. Besides that, you'd have seen his fangs if it was him.

When I saw the family tree I immediatly thought "Hey, I didn't knew Lilith had a brother. Why isn't he even showing up while his sister is the main villain in this game?". Besides the fact that they pretty much look the same, it would make a lot of sense that he'd show up after hearing the news that we ended his sister.

Perhaps it's just a teaser for Mephisto's return, as we will most likely have to deal with him next. It's possible they intend to go through Mephisto, then Baal, before we get to face Diablo himself. What I don't like about this story is how Neyrelle will likely end up as another Leah, it's too similar.

      Here's another quick loot luck post, as some players just have it and then some. We've seen double Uniques from a single Treasure Goblin already, but this is even more extreme. Millertiimme took down Ashava and managed to get a triple Ancestral Unique drop! While we don't know exactly what the boots, ring and gloves were, they were definitely welcome!
      What has been some of your best loot luck so far?

      There's persistence and then there's... persistence. MrFrodoBeggins certainly shows the latter as he not only completed 1270 cellars in 3 days, but also documented his loot, locations, experience gained, Treasure Goblins found, Obols acquired, Butchers encountered and more!

      So let's take a look at this huge breakdown of a very large mount of cellar clears, separated into the game's zones. You should definitely read the whole thing below, but here are some highlights:

      3 Butcher run-ins 21 Treasure Goblins (7 packs of 3, as that's how they spawn in Cellars) 6352 Obols 13 Uniques 200 Legendaries 82,693,064 XP (taking them from level 84 to 89) Around 80,000,000 gold
      MrFrodoBeggins' conclusion is that Cellars are very much not worth it and actively slow you down. The main takeaway from this experience has been... that there isn't enough variety in loading screens. Which makes a lot of sense if you look through 2540+ of them in 3 days. Here are his (not too serious) suggestions:

      The character has a terribly small collection radius, you need to walk the character directly on grass, ore, gold ....... to collect! Dropping some currency and things from mobs is terribly long, maybe if it's 1-2 things you can put up with, but when hundreds and thousands of times it's very annoying... I have seen sooo many loading screens, the drawings are very beautiful and interesting, maybe you will organize a competition among artists and make hundreds of different drawings on the theme of Diablo 4, and give them your 1.5 seconds of fame. I think that over time, all people will get tired of the same thing, even beautiful.
      Obviously we can't confirm these number as it's an individual player's findings, but we see no reason they'd be fabricated.

      And there we have it! All of the ultra-rare/chase items have been found and confirmed with images or video! The final piece was the Melted Heart of Selig necklace and it dropped earlier today.

      Spotted by AnyComputer, a Necromancer player had the item drop in Blind Burrows, and AnyComputer even translated it for us!

      Source: Melted Heart of Selig dropped today.

      This one isn't one of the more wanted ultra-rares, which may also be the reason why we've seen it last. Many players may have just salvaged it without even knowing it was something special, as it's effect isn't that impressive.

      As we already mentioned in previous posts, these almost certainly aren't the first ones dropped and there are many more than have been reported out there (just without image or video proof) so their rarity is a little over-represented. They are still very rare, however, and most of us probably won't be seeing them any time soon.

      The final 5 arrived in the past week after Harlequin's Crest was found relatively soon after launch. You can find them here: Andariel's Visage; The Grandfather; Doombringer; Ring of Starless Skies. If you really really want to throw a lot of time into maybe, possibly, probably not getting these, here are the spots for "farm" them in.

      Here they all are in all their glory:

      We've seen them run as soon as you engage them, we've seen them drop two Uniques at the same time, but this, this is something new. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the treasure carrying ones took their sweet sweet revenge. A high level Hardcore player had a very rude awakening recently after dropping their guard around the little ones. The goblin didn't have any assistance, was the only thing in the room, and yet it still got the kill.
      Killthuzad was running a tier 37 Nightmare Dungeon and really showcases just how easy it is to lose a character on Hardcore.


      Death Pulse does say that the pulse a monster leaves after death is "deadly", but this is on a whole new level! The goblin was level 91, however, so perhaps this isn't that surprising, but it sure was unexpected. Killthuzad's reaction is very much on point as that is definitely the weirdest way I've seen of someone losing their character.
      If you want to see the rest of the death reaction you can head over here.

      Here's another report on one of the rarest Unique drops in the game! A player has received The Grandfather, the crit damage heaven two handed sword. Dropped from an event chest during a Helltide, it's sporting solid rolls, multiplying all the player's crit damage by 84%!
      The player sharing the image is level 76, but the player being inspected is level 100, so they may have had it for quite a while already.
      This isn't necessarily (or even likely) the first of these that has dropped, but we haven't spotted anyone posting about it before. Now all that's left for that player is to get ANOTHER one with a better roll! Here's the weapon's non-Chinese stats:




      Blizzard recently shared some information on the 6 ultra-rare Uniques and how they can drop. We also saw a handy infographic going over where the best place is to farm for them over here.
