For Valentine’s Day, Blizzard gifted some well-known players of Diablo 4 something very special: a heart. And it looked incredibly realistic.
Valentine’s Day is considered by many to be a “day of love,” when people try to make their loved ones happy or spend quality time with them. Blizzard also surprised some of the most famous players of Diablo 4 with a … romantic gift.
What kind of gift is it? For Valentine’s Day, Blizzard sent gift boxes to various content creators – among them Rob, who is known for his strong builds and his skill in theorycrafting. Inside the boxes, they found chocolate hearts that looked almost like real human hearts at first glance. According to the card that was part of the gift, it was the heart of a character from the Vessel of Hatred campaign.
Warning, small spoilers: We briefly address the events and characters from the Vessel of Hatred campaign below.
“Will you be ours, forever?”
Whose heart is it supposed to be? On the attached card, which you can see well in a post by the Diablo streamer AoElena on X, there is a kind of Valentine’s Day poem. Roughly translated, it reads:
Ah Bulan’s heart, it beats with fear.
No feast for you, only blood that we have shed.
Happy Valentine’s Day, hear our pleas –
Will you be ours, forever?
The heart therefore belongs to Ah Bulan, a character from the “Vessel of Hatred” campaign, whom you encounter in a boss fight. Ah Bulan is a spirit guardian that resembles a lion-like centaur, with long dreadlocks and a bird-like mask, fighting with a spear and shield.
Ah Bulan was affected by Mephisto’s corruption. After defeating him in the campaign, Eru cuts out his heart and hands it over to Neyrelle, who then consumes it. So the chocolate heart in the box could be a little nod to this scene.
In the YouTube video by content creator and barbarian expert Rob, you can see the chocolate heart and for a few seconds the mentioned scene from the campaign:
Although there is no Valentine’s Day event in Diablo 4, the “Mother’s Blessing” is returning. Today, on February 18, the event starts where you will receive a bonus on XP and gold. Additionally, you can gather even more loot from the Whispering Tree.
