The kingdom of damnation and its rulers

What is the realm of damnation? The Doomed Realm is the personal hell of Skarn, a demon lord.

According to Blizzard, she emerged from the hellish chaos and was discovered by guardian angels years ago. These are now cut off from the heavens and live in the realm of perdition.

There you will also meet the leader of the angels named Verathiel, whose biggest challenge so far is being stranded in the realm of damnation. Since you are the bearer of the angel’s dagger, you have the opportunity to find allies in hell with the angels.

Who is Skarn? The demon lord Skarn is judge, jury and executioner in the realm of damnation. He is also the mastermind behind the pursuit of the Shards of Worlds.

The goal of Skarn, according to Blizzard, is to collect the shards created when Sanctuary fell into ruin, the resulting cataclysm engulfing Archangel Tyrael and destroying the Arreat area and much of the North.

Skarn also thrived in the post-Diablo 2 era, when a war raged with no clear victor. However, it is unclear whether Skarn himself was leading an army or just taking advantage of the opportunity.

In addition, according to Blizzard, the demon lord Skarn has an interest in humans and in just a few years has built a following that uses seduction and deception to increase their influence in the western kingdoms of Sanctuary.

Instances: Demon Gates, Zones and Pit of Torment

What are the zones? The zones in Diablo Immortal are described by Blizzard as huge rooms filled with enemies, hidden caches and treasure.

What are the Demon Gates? The Demon Gates are a unique challenge in Diablo Immortal that only appear in the Realm of Damnation. MeinMMO summarizes what makes them stand out

• appear several times a day
• appear in random locations in the realm of damnation
• Demons enter the zones through the gates
• the three of you can find the location of the gates, enter the gates, and slay the demons before they empower Skarn’s legions further
• give significant rewards
• if you fight three times a day you can earn bonus loot

What is known about the new dungeon? The new dungeon presented by Blizzard is called the Pit of Anguish. There you can expect “blade-wielding demons” and an extremely bloody boss fight. This should even be the bloodiest boss fight in the entire game.

You will also meet an enemy there with Zaka that you will not soon forget according to Blizzard. In addition to its size, the boss is primarily characterized by a twist that occurs during the fight with him.

The development team said they were excited to see how players would react to the twist.

Not just lava and horns – variety in creature and level design

What reveals Blizzard about the sound and level design? According to Blizzard, each team put a lot of effort into creating appropriate sounds and level designs.

Accordingly, the audio team wanted to ensure that the cruelty and ambitions of Skarn were recognizable in the Doomed Realm soundtracks.

Regarding the level design, Blizzard is happy to be able to show a deviation from the expected burning hell with lava and horns. This was already made clear in the description of the creature design.

The development team tried to adapt the creatures to the shapes and colors of the environment. This is not only intended to be a change from the classic reddish demon designs, but also to give the impression that the characters evolved from, or were influenced by, the environment.

What is the forest of misery? The Forest of Sorrows is another example the developers used to show they value variety. This variety should make the trip more interesting and help to remember places with special moments better.

The forest itself features intricate treetops as well as demons whose bodies have merged with parts of the realm. This is said to have been punishment for abandoning Skarn.

Diablo Immortal is the latest installment in the Diablo series. After the game was originally only supposed to be released for Android and iOS, it is now known that the title will also appear for the PC.
