Mollie Taylor, Features Producer: Yeah, Diablo 4 is my first foray into the series and I was kind of gutted that she's not the big bad in all the other entries. Perhaps the best part of Lilith's characterisation and performance for me, is how that mask of kindly mother slowly slips to reveal the hatred and betrayal bubbling beneath. Even as someone who only came to the series this game, I can tell how important that moment is. Either way (spoiler) the cutscene between her and Inarius is an incredible cinematic. It's one of the reasons I'm kind of sad that Diablo 4 doesn't have more narrative choices, especially in regards to Lilith. When faced with an apathetic Inarius who's clearly lost his mind, and the cathedral's army of fanatics trying to police the world, it's easy to see her as a preferable option for Sanctuary's future. Her relationship with Inarius is the foundation on which the world was built, and for those who perhaps don't know any better, *guiltily raises hand*, her intentions don't seem all that evil.

Sean Martin, Guides Writer: I never played the earlier games, but as Diablo 4's story unfolded and I found out more about Sanctuary, I was surprised to learn that a character as important as Lilith hadn't appeared sooner. Farewell to Gharbad, Diablo 1's dumbest enemy, and somehow the only one to briefly realise he didn't stand a chance against the player character. You kill him, take the weapon, and subject the poor goatman to the posthumous indignity of selling his life's work to the town blacksmith. But no matter, because he develops a Gollum-like attachment to the thing in the process of making it and decides to fight you over it.

I think he gave me (a Sorcerer) a mace of some description. You can go play the game and check back intermittently or, if you're a busy person with important things to be doing, just exit and enter the level a few times to speed him along the sidequest's phases.

In garbled English, he promises to craft you a powerful item in exchange for his life if you'll only give him the time to make it. Anyway, Gharbad doesn't want to die young, and is the only one of Diablo's legioned enemies to realise that-since you just turned all his comrades into dust-he probably doesn't stand a chance against you.
