The Diablo series is well known for its more basic storylines. Instead, the franchise focuses on the dungeon crawling, combat, and character progression to keep players locked in well after the credits roll. Like its predecessors, Diablo 4's main focus is on the gameplay, but that doesn't mean there aren't moments when players are given a choice.
Upon reaching the town of Kyovashad, you'll need to complete the Rite Of Passage. This involves burning away a piece of wood with your character's biggest sin. Being your first real choice in the game, many players may hesitate before deciding on which sin to pick, and this guide will help.
Which Sin Should You Pick For The Rite Of Passage
Upon reaching the Rite Of Passage, you'll be presented with a total of five options: Fear, Anger, Pride, Greed, or nothing at all. Ultimately, whichever sin you choose to write and burn on the piece of wood has no effect on the game. No matter what is written, even if nothing at all, the guard will comment the same thing, and you'll be let into the city.
While there are no gameplay changes that come from this choice, it does offer players a role-playing opportunity for those who enjoy giving more personality to their characters. Beyond this role-playing opportunity, this choice will not change any aspect of the game beyond a single line said by Lorath.
Did Lorath Guess It?
After the Rite Of Passage, you'll head up to Lorath, who was able to enter without having to complete the Rite. Despite not seeing what you wrote, Lorath will have a quick line of dialogue before you interact with him. He will correctly guess what your character wrote on the piece of wood, even if it was nothing at all. The Rite of Passage has been completed, and will not carry anything over to the rest of the game.
