At the end of Diablo 4’s main plot, Neyrelle used Soulstone to bind Mephisto and embarked on a journey to Sanctuary, and left a suspense. Therefore, many players are desperate to seek answers in Diablo 4 Vessel Of Hatred expansion. In this paid expansion, Diablo 4’s narrative will continue and reveal the suspense left before.

In Vessel Of Hatred DLC, player are required to chase after Neyrelle who carries Mephisto’s Soulstone. Follow her way into the wastelands of Nahantu.

During the journey, new companions such as Eru, Akarat, and Pale Hand Mercenaries will be met along the way, and new plots and more stories will unfold. After successfully completing the corresponding tasks and challenges, the player will be rewarded with corresponding rewards, such as Unique items, Diablo 4 Gold and more.

The main storyline is that Neyrelle accidentally dips her hand and Soulstone into the water, accidentally spreads Mephisto’s corruption and hence spawns scary monsters called Hollows who gradually kill most of the flora and fauna in the area.

Player and Spiritborn mentor Eru seek to save her from Mephisto’s wrath and the bond of Soulstone. Your adventure kicks off with a few failures. Neyrelle is always one or two steps ahead of the player and Eru until they eventually catch up.

Let’s take a closer look at this suspenseful storyline and the finale.

Neyrelle’s Salvation And Eru’s Betrayal

Upon stepping into Burial Chamber in Akarat’s Tomb, you walk towards altar that lies mortal body of Akarat rests with Neyrelle, and Eru. Neyrelle is tempted to keep Soulstone because the images on Soulstone are her deceased mother. Once the bond is broken, the connection with her mother ends. But eventually, she places Soulstone on Akarat’s body and clears the bond with Mephisto with your encouragement and help. Thus, Neyrelle’s redemption is achieved.

Throughout Vessel of Hatred, Eru’s assistance to the player propels the story forward, but his desire to protect Nahantu at all costs ultimately leads to his betrayal. He witnesses corruption that spread throughout Nahantu. In a bargain with Lord of Hatred, Mephisto, his desire to save Nahantu causes him to lose the orientation throughout the quest. Adds a touch of regret to the whole storyline.

After taking Soulstone, he opens a huge dark rift, allowing Mephisto to make an appearance in the form of wolf.

He always knew what he did was wrong, and returned to Neyrelle and the player after the last battle, but kept mental torture and aspire to die.

Battle With Mephisto And Eru

When Mephisto emerges from the rift in wolf form, it also indicates that the battle is coming. Eru’s betrayal gives him more potent and strength. Then he transforms into Harbinger of Hatred and kicks off the battle. Despite your best efforts to protect Neyrelle and the spirit of Akarat from being harmed, you are eventually defeated. However, just when you fall into despair, the spirit of Akarat awakens and defeats Mephisto’s form of a wolf at the price of the last remaining energy.

But after all, it is only in wolf form, and Mephisto is still alive.

Travel Back To Nahantu To Find Eru

Afterwards, players and Neyrelle head back to Nahantu and find the wounded Eru. Eru directly reveals the deal he made with Mephisto and says that Mephisto will definitely escape again. Despite Neyrelle’s sincere persuasion, he still chooses to betray the players and Neyrelle. Neyrelle then kills Eru, who has a strong desire to attack.

Searching For Answers

Neyrelle and player embarks their adventure to Horadric Vault to check any information associated with Eru’s betrayal and the resurgence of Mephisto. After flipping through various scrolls and books, they get information about Tyrael, the defender of Sanctuary, and Rathma’s Prophecy, which depicts the rise of Prime Evils, and Sanctuary will lead to destruction. This also hints at the possibility of Tyrael’s return in the later storyline.

Afterwards, a conversation with Prava will unfold, in which she states that Neyrelle is an important role in destroying Mephisto.

Akarat Becomes The New Vessel For Mephisto

Vessel of Hatred is concluded through a sequence that narrated by Lorath. Once the series of flashbacks ends, the scene switches to Travincal, where lies Akarat’s mortal. He is placed in a large room and surrounded by the black corruption of Mephisto. We can see that Mephisto tensed Akarat, making fun of his failure to be Shepherd of Light he was expected to be.

Then the corruption begins to consume Akarat’s body, and Mephisto’s Soulstone is buried deep in his chest, waiting for his body to be completely consumed by darkness. Afterwards, Akarat’s body floats into the air and transforms into the new vessel for Mephisto.

With his respected new form, Mephisto manipulates many people, uses the appearance of kindness to spread his darkness, and possesses endless power. It is noticeable that from Akarat’s departing words to Neyrelle, it can be seen that Akarat is likely to return in the subsequent expansion.
