In order for an ARPG to continue to run, in addition to having a sufficiently attractive gameplay, it must also update the main storyline on time to ensure that the game has a “developing” background world. As one of the most popular ARPGs in recent years, the main storyline of Diablo 4 not only continues the dark style of Diablo series but also updates with the update of the season.
Therefore, in the latest Season 7, completing the main storyline mission can not only bring you Diablo 4 Gold as a reward but also allow you to read the latest Diablo 4 main storyline. However, since the main storyline is coherent, and Season 1 was launched two years ago, you may have forgotten the previous main storyline.
Based on this, we will lead you to review the main storyline outline of each Diablo 4 season from the beginning, as well as the seasonal feature mechanisms related to these stories. In fact, this may also trigger your outlook and thinking about Season 8.
Season 1 Season Of The Malignant
Season 1 takes place shortly after Lilith is defeated. A new demon lord, Varshan, rises and seeks to corrupt Sanctuary, using Malignant Hearts. From a story perspective, Season 1 isn’t anything too special. However, Malignant Hearts in that season allowed you to use special abilities to enhance your character, which was very popular at the time.
Varshan still exists in Diablo 4 as Echo of Uber boss, and Malignant Hearts reappear as rings, so you can still interact with them in Season 7.
Season 2 Season Of Blood
As a new power available in Season 2, the vampire powers are not only cooler but also provide you with more benefits. In the main story, although Wanderer will be infected by the vampire curse, they not only do not turn to darkness, but are able to use vampire powers to deal with the villains.
Season 2 also adds a new vampire boss, Lord Zir. Although he was defeated in Season 2, he still exists in the game as an Uber boss, and the vampire threat still exists in Sanctuary because they are still quite popular as an enemy.
In fact, Season 2 is very important to Diablo 4 from a main story perspective, because the plot of Wanderer immunity to the vampire curse makes you suspect that they are Nephalem - which is also hinted by Mephisto in the DLC Vessel of Hatred.
Season 3 Season Of The Construct
In Season 3, after you discover the treasure vault of the ancient wizard Zoltun Kulle, a new seasonal enemy, many of Zoltun Kulle’s robot “constructs” will become possessed and begin to do evil. You will then need to team up with a small robot spider called Seneschal Companion to fight these threats. When Kulle’s constructs are destroyed, your Seneschal Companion will go back to sleep again.
As a unique mechanic in Season 3, Seneschal Companion was only a short-lived addition, but now that pets and mercenaries exist, you’ll realize that they’re somewhat similar to Seneschal Companion, so why not bring it back?
Season 4 Loot Reborn
This season has very little content and new game mechanics, with the main purpose of returning to the basics. The loot system has been completely overhauled in terms of mechanics, and the story tells a side story about the legendary mercenary group by reconnecting Wanderer with Iron Wolves.
Season 5 Infernal Hordes
Season 5 offers a new endgame mode called Infernal Hordes, in the form of a challenge room that allows you to get more gold and more powerful items by killing enemies, and the mode still exists in Diablo 4.
While this season does not provide you with new powers to use, it adds a new quest line in terms of the main storyline, that is, Lilith’s followers try to redeem themselves by joining forces with Wanderer. This story not only leads to the prologue content of Vessel of Hatred, but is also the first seasonal questline that can be played in Eternal Realm.
Season 6 Season Of Hatred Rising
Since this season was released at the same time as the DLC, the seasonal story it provides only serves to provide background, and most of the main story is concentrated in the DLC. However, it is worth mentioning that you can fight new monsters Realmwalkers in Season 6, and they also make Helltides more interesting.
Season 7 Season Of Witchcraft
Season 7 adds witchcraft powers as your seasonal assistant, similar to vampire powers in Season 2, allowing you to craft or enhance some new builds through these spells to improve your combat effectiveness.
In terms of the main story, the story of Season 7 continues the end of Vessel of Hatred expansion. In this season, you will find that Mephisto’s minions are trying to corrupt Tree of Whispers to retaliate against those humans who oppose Hell. This is reflected in the new gameplay of the season, that is, you need to fight in Headhunts to get back Fugitive Heads.
Through all the existing plots, you already know that Prime Evil has taken over Akarat’s body, so in the 8th season or other updates, you may need to start hunting Mephisto because of Akarat. Let’s look forward to the follow-up development together!
