In return, he'll use the cube to help you do all sorts of fun things with your legendary items and gems. The artifact is known as Kanai's Cube - essentially a prototype of the Horadric Cube - that was deemed too powerful to use and locked away by the Horadrim who created it.

He wastes no time in letting you know exactly what he thinks of your attempt to kill him (again) before asking for your help in locating a powerful ancient artifact located in the ruins of Sescheron. Yes, everyone's favorite mad wizard and dark Horadrim, Zoltun Kulle, is back. Watch your step.īefore you set out to explore, look around for a new resident in your camp and you'll find someone you didn't expect to see again in a hurry. You encountered some relatively simple traps in the dungeons of King Leoric back in Act I, but the Barbarians clearly thought "giant swinging blades" weren't nearly enough. Not only do the denizens want to hurt you, but the environment is also actively trying to do you in. Most notable for me were the Ice Clan Khazra, who seemed fairly ordinary and looked exactly like their Act I counterparts until their shamans started summoning flaming ghosts. You'll find new enemies such as the Rat King (who looks like a charming fellow), and a few old ones who will surprise you with some nasty new tricks. Baal and the other lords of Hell may be defeated, but showing how their legacy continues in the destruction they left behind adds new weight and depth to the game's lore and mythos. While traversing the destroyed city, you'll come across several of Diablo III's lore books that detail the fall of the barbarians as seen from the perspective of those same doomed warriors, in addition to some intriguing pieces of new information. It can only be accessed in Adventure Mode via the Act III waypoints in and around Bastion's Keep. The Ruins of Sescheron are the remains of the Barbarian city that franchise veterans will remember from the Diablo II expansion, Lord of Destruction. These two elements alone were enough to make it a highly anticipated update, but a number of other interesting changes are detailed in the patch notes. The new area was announced about a month ago when it entered the PTR, along with an item that looked suspiciously like the legendary Horadric Cube of Diablo II.
