Diablo 4 is finally here and the first pre-order customers can already play. If you don’t just hack your way through the world randomly, you’ll find exciting stories at every turn. One of the best side quests is even available in the first area and fits the game perfectly.
What kind of quest is this? In the quest: “Unyielding Flesh”, you help a woman search for her missing husband. He has apparently disappeared in the nearby woods and she can no longer find him.
You receive the quest in Yelesna, probably the second village you find after leaving Kyovashad. The quest giver’s name is Krystyna.
The quest is quite short and only takes a few minutes if you complete it directly. Just a few steps away from the village and behind a few rather weak ghoul hordes, you will finally find her husband. Alive, more or less.
What makes the quest so special: We don’t want to spoil anything, but although Krystyna’s husband Feodor apparently isn’t doing too well, he is still alive and… happy. We won’t reveal his exact circumstances, but at least his fetish: BDSM.
This stands for “Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, and Masochism”, thus encompassing several rather brutal preferences. Feodor has definitely come very close to his ultimate pleasure. We recommend this quest (almost) to everyone playing through.
Because although Diablo 4 is rated 16, we wouldn’t suggest this scene to anyone under 18 – not even, or especially not, when playing with mom. But here’s a tip: play at least this quest in English, otherwise the pun at the end won’t make much sense.

Diablo 4 is full of exciting stories
MeinMMO was invited to test Diablo 4 before its release and was able to explore the game fully, including all main and side quests. The main story alone is worth it for the exciting encounters with old acquaintances and new enemies.
You need about 20-30 hours just for the plot if you watch all the cutscenes and listen to the stories. However, it is worth it to look at the sides and complete some side quests.
“Unyielding Flesh” is already one of the best quests in the game, but the best one I’ve encountered so far can be found in Act 5. There you are supposed to solve murders and encounter a girl who seemingly makes pacts with demons.
Many further quests follow that weave a story like some of the best quest lines in World of Warcraft, just not quite as extensive as in the MMORPG. For hack-and-slash standards, the storytelling in these side quests is exceptionally strong and reminiscent of the “good old days” of “old Blizzard”.
And especially Diablo 4 is likely to have many first-hour Blizzard fans who still remember how strong the company used to be:
