Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred DLC ending, explained — what happens next?

Diablo 4’s Lord of Hatred DLC ends by wiping out much of the current cast, with Neyrelle and Lorath dead and the main conflict largely reset.

The expansion reveals Mephisto inside Akarat, brings Lilith back in a limited ally role, and marks Tyrael’s return.

Mephisto is ultimately banished again, but the Tree of Whispers is damaged in the process, leaving Sanctuary in a weakened state.

The ending suggests Blizzard is closing Diablo 4’s first major story arc while laying groundwork for the next phase of the campaign.
