Is there anyone else who figured out how the soulstones and figured out how to construct his own? And not just any wussy soulstone that takes both it and a fresh Tal Rasha to contain a prime evil, but a massively huge rock that can contain multiple prime and lesser evils, along with the power to take powers from angels. And it stays crunchy in milk.
Let's face it: he's the real nephalem of the series. You can't really kill him, you can only try. Hell, he's found himself to essentially be more immortal than the Lords of Hell. He even directly leads Leah to discover her true power! Granted, she tries to destroy heaven, and kulle is sort of deadish again at the time, but I'm pretty sure it all went according to his plan.
Although I did think it was strange when Leah offered to stuff his head into my bag. Lady, why don't put the dead guy's head in your bag? Sheesh.
The point is: Zoltun Kulle is cooler than you and cooler than me, and this is a thread to bask in his awesomeness. Share your own stories of Zoltun Kulle.
To finish this entry up, I think I'll end in the style of Zoltun Kulle. By not being evil at all... + Show Spoiler +
OMG that's a terrible pun and yet I laughed so hard. What I love about Kulle is that we go all through the desert getting his body and shit and then go 'K thx bye'. Even better, both you and him know things won't end amicably.
In the german version his name is Kull, which is the same as the name for those HUGE orcs from LOTR. Seems weird to me, that they chose to name him like this. Whatever, he's pretty damn kull.
The way he died was a huge let down for me. How is he supposed to have died anyways? He is supposed to be this invincible mage yet you just punch him to death. You spend the longest fetch quest in the game reassembling this guy all while finding lore journals making him out to be an unkillable mage who literally bleeds sand and laughs at you.
Besides his lack lustre death I really did enjoy the rest of his story.
I think it's pretty obvious your character is an idiot for killing Zultan. If you can kick his ass whenever you want and he opposes your enemies and he obviously knows useful stuff and something is obviously going wrong with your plan to take the soulstone because it's randomly evil and he warns you of this I THINK YOU'D WANT TO KEEP HIM AROUND. Just cut his head off again and carry him around! Personally I think my characters are just jealous because he's too fucking kulle.
They shoulda put kulle on the throne of wisdom at the end. Tyreal is a moron.
And sign me up for this bad boy!! Everytime I go through act 2, all I am ever thinking is "Man.... you know in retrospect Zulton makes some very compelling points". Even on my first run through I totally would have taken him up on his offer to seize power jointly and say screw Leah and Adria, if given the chance.
Even though not to split hairs, aspect Zoltun bitches at me for killing him but he kinda shot first.

That would be an awesome expansion pack from blizz, when you reach that part on any difficulty besides normal you get the option of selecting to join him and play through an alternate version of the story where you eventually storm the heavens and the head angel is the final boss instead of Diablo as you try to seize power.
He kinda fills the role of Horazon in D2, both are great characters IMO . But in D2 at least we dispatch an imposter(actually, playable mage char from Diablo I) easily instead of the man himself unlike in D3, such a shame to see a quality drop in recent Blizz games scenario-wise.
And yes I would definitely side with him the moment I learned that the Black Soulstone was already filled, if not before.
He must be the smartest character...he says something like "do you honestly think belial&azmo engineered all of this?". Seriously why can't we just listen to Kulle go home and let him be our overlord. No diablo, no problems!

He didn't die because you beat him. He died because he sacrificed himself to allow you to defeat Diablo.
It's no coincidence that he's the best place for leveling. He knew that Diablo would return but also that you would be the one to fight him. And he knew the best way to make you strong enough to defeat Diablo and save the world would be to let you kill him over and over again.

Im in.
He didnt betray you, you betrayed him. You advertently aided adria in bring back diablo by obtaining the blacksoul stone from him. He thought that you were being played by the angels and the witch so he tried to stop you. Hes a evil son of a btch sure, but him trying to stop adria and tyrael from gaining the blacksoul stone was just.
I was dissapointed that i could not join him! I agreed with everything Zoltun said. Me, Zolt, and Covetous Shen were poised to storm all of sanctuary :[
The funny part is metzen probably had no intention of making this character interesting and probably just stumbled into it by fault needing to tie his garbage story together.
Obviously the best character in the game. Obviously the final boss for expansion #3. Adria is final boss in #2. And Leah/Diablo is expansion boss #1.
And in expansion 4, tyrael combines with the black soulstone to create diablyreal, for the epic final boss #4. And Kulle comes back in the 5th expansion to revive the black dragon Timat (or whatevers) which will break the world asunder, and you fight him riding on the mother of evils that created diablo and the rest of hell in the first place. After that, pandas will attack from their space ships and you can now play as a new class called soul ripper where you can shoot at people with your tongue.
The part where you have to kill him reminds me of playing Pokemon Red/Blue when I was a kid and they ask you to join Team Rocket and you can't accept. It's like, Yeah, Kulle, you're totally right! Tyreal and Cain have run this organization into the fucking ground, let's join forces and get the Q4 profits up to snuff. But no, you have to kill him...which doesn't really do anything in actuality, because he can't die, so that's Kulle at least.
At the very least I would have liked it if Kulle's head were lying on the ground or on a table or something after the fight and you could chat with him.
Why exactly do we kill him (or at least try it)? Mankind is dying, there are dead bodies everywhere and we refuse to accept the power to stop it. Why? He doesn't even betray us. We just decide to kill him for no apparent reason.
Hell yeah, sign me up. Kule was the Lex Luthor/Ozymandius of the game. The misunderstood genius for whom the globally beneficial ends justified questionable means. He saw through the puppeteering and warned the hero and was summarily ignored.
Also, I appreciate him for his unparalleled ability to get help me get lvl 60s in all classes.

Why do the guardians team up with Kulle? Aren't they there to stop anyone from getting to the Soulstone (presumably put there by the Horadrim after they dismembered him)?

Uhh they were probably put there by kulle to prevent anyone from getting the soulstone. The horadrim probably never found it.
Probably because he was right many times, he was trying to recruit you to his side, and then still ending his lines with MUAHAHAHAHAHAH.
hahah oh man I forgot to mention that part in why he is the man. The best is when he has some fairly innocuous, non threatening thing to say to you.... and then he still busts into the FULL SCALE muahahahahahahaha afterwords. Gets me every time.

You don't trust me? You think I'm going to betray you? You shall soon see the truth. Why don't you join me? MUAHAHAHAHAHAH.

/plagiarist
I said this out loud when I started his first quest. I felt really clever and I couldn't wait for one of my friends to log on to use it on him. His reaction told me he though of it too. =[
Covetous Shen needs a fan club too! He has lots of practical advice, like things you can do while trapped inside of a barrel. I feel this truly augments Kulle's godhood aspirations.
You know what's Kulle about this dude? People were complaining about the story that his guy was famous because he just wouldn't die, but then we kill him off in an instant. But considering how many players are killing him over and over again to farm exp and gold, he kinda lives up to his own legend doesn't he?
ive loved this npc since the first playthrough, and every time i cant wait to have his ghost floating around with me. favorite character in the game MWAHAHAHAHAHA
Shen is like... I don't even know what stereotype shen is, a gay jew? but he has to be some kind of stereotype. Kulle is just straight badass, MWAHAHAHAHA.
You know, when Kulle did his "This is the opening to my archives. muahahahahaha" speech, I thought to myself it would be cool if we could have Kulle on a gps device. Think about it: 1. Turn left on First Ave. muahahahahah 2. Drive 1.5 miles. muahahahaha 3. Turn left on freeway onramp. muahahaha
I was so surprised to find out that he also voiced Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop. One of the only anime series I have ever enjoyed / been able to get into. Once I knew it, I could hear it. Prior to that though I had no idea.

Haha same thing happened to me, also with the Templar being Malcom Reed from ST:Enterprise
I think in the story, he seems to hold immense power. Quite interesting to see that he can be brought down so quickly while having survived the whole ordeal with his body being hid in many places. Probably, he is one of the most powerful characters in the game. Crazy and powerful seems to be the recipe to success. Or failure... :D
