Warning: Spoilers and speculation for Diablo 4 below.

However,Diablo 4fan AnActualSadTaco claims they found a brief scene after completing the campaign for the second time. The video they posted on their YouTube shows the screen going black after theDiablo 4credits finish rolling, only to have a loud rumbling noise break the silence. Then, a horned, red demon skull flashes and trembles on the screen for a few seconds before disappearing.
AnActualSadTaco reportedly completed the campaign on a third character to see if this rumored scene got longer, but confirmed it did not. They also had the scene trigger for them on aDiablo 4alt that skipped the campaignalongside a first-time clearer who did not see the scene. Other players have claimed to have seen this scene as well, though proof is scarce. Searching for the image of the red-horned demon has also been inconclusive, so AnActualSadTaco’s secret scene is either real or an elaborate and well-made hoax.
If it is real, there are a few options as to who the red skull could represent. The most obvious one would be Diablo himself, but the horns turn upward in a way more reminiscent of Mephisto. While this could tease a return of the Prime Evil himself, now that he has returned to Sanctuary in Neyrelle’s Soulstone, it could also be hinting at the return of Lucion. The son of Mephisto, Lucion has had even fewer appearances inpre-Diablo 4lore than his sister Lilith. Given the game’s focus on the family tree of Hatred and the Triune, which he founded and led during the Sin War,Diablo 4’sexpansion packs could be the perfect place for Lucion’s return.
In the meantime,Diablo 4fans are still searching for the Secret Cow Level. The developers ofDiablo 4have claimed it doesn’t exist, but cheeky comments, clever memes, and hidden assets suggest otherwise. Players will have to wait and see if theseDiablo 4secret-hunters can crack open the door to the Secret Cow Level, confirm the existence of the post-credits scene, and discover any other secrets hidden across Sanctuary.
Diablo 4is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
