I was watching the movies in cains journal (the cinematics). I was watching the act 4 "gathering". He was saying how the evils were gathering, including tal Rasha. If you read the writing it says, we were sent to TalRasha's tomb but we only came to face Duriel.
This means Tal Rasha is still alive in the game?? Could he hold any significance into the D3 story, bringing them back, a boss ??

"Not Even Death Can Save You From Me" ~ Diablo (II)
It was used as another name for Baal. If say I was taken over by some evil force, people would still call me "Michael" instead of "Mutated monster", you know what I mean?
I would have been like when I walked in lut gholean "DIABLO HES THE DEVIL KIL LHIM AHHHH" Then hes just be like "fool!" then blow up the city

lol. And that is why he is called the wanderer, so that he wouldn't blow up Lut Gholen.

wait are you trying to say tal rasha is baal? because thats not true
Quote from "Kenzai" »
Tal Rasha' s body was possessed by Baal. You know, Tal Rasha was actually a good guy...
They didnt show how it happened but obviously, just like how the wanderer "died" when he turned into Diablo, the same happened with Tal Rasha --> Baal. And we even killed Baal thereafter, leaving him no chance at all (even if he was still in Baal' s body)...
this is right. tal rasha was bound to the pillar and baals soulstone was pushed into his chest. in one of the videos i believe it shows a normal man bound to the pillar doesnt it? and then it shows him transforming into baal. right?
edit: i just watched cinematic 3. it doesn't show him transforming into baal but it does show baal talking to marius (the balding guy) and flashing somewhat into human form. the voice you hear when he's saying "help me" is tal rasha's, but it is really baal fooling him into thinking he is still tal rasha
Tal'Rasha was never Evil to begin with. he used himself being the only powerful haraudrin at the time to hold baal inside of his body like a prison. then the events that were stated in this topic earlier happened and baal was released.
look i read the diablo books. the soulstones is what let the 3 prime evils manifest into the real world. without the soul-stones they could not come into the human world.
Tal'rasha was a powerful sorcerer and put baals essance aka his soul-stone into his body and improsened him inside his body to keep his soulstone from possessing others into coming to get it.
like lets say a mephistos soul stone was in your house. mephisto would use his soulstone to possess some 1 in your house to pick it up. once in the hand mephisto would try to force them to insert that soulstone into there body.
quick side note before i go on tal'rasha was a powerful haraudrin and could sustain prisoning his soulstone in him to keep it from "calling" to people.
anywho from there the soulstone will use your body as a vessel and mephisto would disfigure and mutate your body into what his body would look like in the human plain.
also now that the world stone is broken demons can manifest them selves in the world of man much easier now. as in no more soulstone needed. tyreal shattered it because baal corrupted it.
if you need me to go into further detail i will. sorry im a bit high... lol
mephisto is the "weakest" i guess but only because he is much older then his other brothers. Daiblo is the youngest.
also ivaron.... the guy removed the soulstone out of tal'rasha and his body decayed. the soulstone was also preserving him.
Yes, the soul stones was their vessel into the human world. The exception was Tal Rasha who turned himself into a living vessel, giving Baal a much better "host" than a corruption from inside a soulstone could.
But if Tal Rashas body decayed, how did Baal have a body?
marius took part of the soulstone and ran off with it. Tal'Rasha was like a super powerful haraudrin so he took it upon himself to imprison baal into his body so it would not call to any 1 els for it to possess. baals was split in 2.
baals other part manifested in some one els and came into the insane assylum at the end of act 4 and took the other part of his soulstone back from marius.
marius thought it was tyreal and handed it over to him and baal startled to chuckle and marius figured out it wasnt tyreal but it was baal trying to get the soulstone from him. but it was to late.
tal rashas body was never twisted into a demon form but used as a prison.. think of amummy with a diamond slammed into his chest. once removed the body died. because that happended 100's of years before the event in d2 were marius stole it. Just another name? d2 never went into lore really just beat em up action. he was significant in the d2 series to have a set armor and name drop in a cini. unlike bartuc the bloody who is a bad ass human who enslaved demons into doing his bidding. he only got a set armor in d2

but most of the info iva put up there is from D2 xD
he just used quotes from the D1 manual to prove some of them =3
also you never do get to see how baal changes from a human like being to that giant demon
but im thinking when he met marius he had tal rasha's form which is why marius confused him with tyreal
they were both in a sense "holy" lol
after retrieving his soulstone he coulda did some ceremony similar to what mephisto did for diablo using nithianielthak lol
however i dont think nithy had a soulstone on him when you killed him
baal probaly used the soulstone to corrupt him
which opens a window that they can probaly hide the soulstones and not have the corrupted be anywhere near the soulstone after they use it on them lol
also explains why you never found any soulstones on the council members lol
also why diablo could change who was corrupted by a single soulstone (well this one is hard cuz im sure they said the knights killed him after he went mad and started killing the townspeople) so he could have just died and he then changed over to his son by then
(lazurus was corrupted the whole time since he was the one that drove leoric to the ground lol)
so what im thinking is that leoric was never infected by the soulstone
he just went insane cuz he lost his son and lazurus was messing with him lol
(saw iva say something about leoric being infected by the soulstone or something dont know coulda been a typo or something lol)
but however its not impossible that diablo coulda had 3 soulstones all together either =3
Lol yep the Butcher will fly out of cains but and kill everyone in one swift of the cleaver, everyone will drop dead

Be my Buddy =^.^=
You guys are missing a very valuable piece of information...
The soulstones were actually shards of the worldstone =)
I remember reading that somewhere, so I can't tell you where, just a little info to bring this thread to day again.
So yes now the worldstone is destroyed the soulstones will be useless.
