Season 15 just dropped, and Sanctuary already feels heavier. Season of Hell’s Legacy brings back Deckard Cain’s spirit, and he’s dragging players straight into the tangled, bloody history of the three Prime Evils — Diablo, Baal, and Mephisto. Fun fact: these aren’t random demons. They’re literal brothers, and that’s exactly why the Brother’s Keeper quest hits different.
Here’s the gist: three Dark Wanderers have resurfaced, each haunted by one Prime Evil. Cain calls on you to walk into their nightmares, put down the Evil torturing them, and free their souls. It’s part rescue mission, part demon slaughter — classic Diablo, dressed in 30th-anniversary nostalgia.

Diablo 4: Walkthrough Breakdown
| Step | What To Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Meet Cain | Pick up his questline after loading a Seasonal Character | Unlocks the Nightmares system |
| 2. Choose a Nightmare | Prime Evil Nightmares (Diablo/Baal/Mephisto) or Waking Nightmares (lesser evils) | Each recreates classic locations like the Durance of Hate and Worldstone Chamber |
| 3. Fight through familiar ground | Travincal, Caves of Hell, Halls of the Blind | Original voice lines return for maximum nostalgia |
| 4. Defeat the Prime Evil | Boss fight at the end of each Nightmare | Grants a splinter of their power (at a cost) |
| 5. Return to Cain | Report your progress | Continues the Hell’s Legacy storyline |
The twist? Absorbing a Prime Evil’s power isn’t free. Blizzard’s teasing real trade-offs, so don’t expect an easy power spike without consequence.
Why This Season Feels Personal
Since Diablo’s Prime Evils are canonically brothers who once ruled the Burning Hells together, the “keeper” framing isn’t just a catchy title — it’s Cain literally trying to keep what’s left of them, and of Sanctuary, from falling apart again. If you enjoy backstory as much as loot, this one’s worth slowing down for.
