'''The Ancients''' or '''Ancient Ones''' are spirits of [[Barbarian]] ancestors. They claim to be spirits of the [[nephalem]] in Diablo II. If this is true or not is unknown. If they are, they might be specific Barbarian nephalem spirits.

==Ancients on Mount Arreat==
[[Korlic]], [[Madawc]], and [[Talic]] were located outside the [[Worldstone Chamber]] on [[Mount Arreat]]. Their purpose was to defeat any unworthy hero, preventing them from entering the chamber. While unworthy would-be heroes were killed, worthy heroes were instead augmented in their skills and let in. Besides fighting though, they speak with one voice, announcing their purpose as part of the {{iw|Quests_Act_Five#Quest_Five:_Rite_of_Passage Rite of Passage}}.

They seem sentient even as statues, as they mentioned [[Baal]] had already entered when the heroes arrived and defeated the Ancients.

What happened to these three Ancients after the destruction of the [[Worldstone]] is unknown.

==Diablo II Ancients==
These three NPCs must be defeated in combat to complete the {{iw|Quests_Act_Five#Quest_Five:_Rite_of_Passage Rite of Passage quest}} in Act Five. Individually, they are listed as {{iw|Superuniques SuperUnique monsters}}. When defeated they give the {{iw|Quests_Act_Five#Quest_Six:_Eve_of_Destruction Eve of Destruction quest}} to characters who survive their trial.

===Dialogues===
The Ancients speak twice, in the middle of one quest and when they charge your character with the final quest of Act Five.

====Rite of Passage====
When a character clicks on the altar in the center of the dias atop the [[Arreat Plateau]], the following speech is heard:

::''We are the spirits of the [[Nephalem]], the Ancient Ones. We have been chosen to guard sacred [[Mount Arreat]], wherein the [[Worldstone]] rests. Few are worthy to stand in its presence. Fewer still can comprehend its true purpose. Before you enter, you must defeat us.''

====Eve of Destruction====
The ancients give this quest to characters who defeat them in the Rite of Passage, after they return to their initial statuesque form.

::''You are a worthy hero. We augment your skill and grant you entry to the interior of [[Mount Arreat]], wherein lies the [[Worldstone]]. Beware, you will not be alone. [[Baal]], the Lord of Destruction, is already inside. The [[Archangel]] [[Tyrael]] has always been our benefactor, but even he cannot help us now, for Baal blocks Tyrael's spiritual presence from entering the chamber of the Worldstone. Only you, mortal, have the power to defeat Baal now. Baal threatens the Worldstone, and through it, the mortal realm itself. You must stop him before he gains full control over the sacred stone. With it under his control, Baal could shatter the boundaries between this world and the [[Burning Hells]], thus allowing the hordes of the [[Prime Evils]] to pour forth into the mortal realm like an unstoppable tide. If you are weak, the world as you know it could be lost forever. You must NOT fail.''

==The Sin War==
The giant [[Bul-Kathos]] (one of the [[nephalem]]) was a defending [[Mount Arreat]] from [[Uldyssian]]. ''"Mount Arreat will remain forbidden for you and all else who would desecrate its interior!"''.

Clad in kilt and sandals and with a golden band around his head, Bul-Kathos resembled some [[barbarian]] deity.
''"We swore that the way to the mount would be forever sealed from those like [[Esu]]"''.
