Every fan of the Diablo franchise has heard of Zoltun Kulle, the infamous founding member of the Horadrim who turned evil, created the Black Soulstone, and was ultimately defeated. Players defeat this powerful mage again in Diablo 3, and with every new season, you will need to find the location of Zoltun Kulle in Adventure Mode.
This guide tells you exactly where to find Zoltun Kulle in Diablo 3's Adventure Mode and why it is so crucial that you find him once a season.
Update on 15 May 2023: This article has been updated to reflect the location of Zoltun Kulle in Diablo 3 Season 28 Adventure Mode.
Where is Zoltun Kulle in Diablo 3's Adventure Mode?
Once you complete the game's campaign in a new season, Adventure Mode unlocks. One of the first steps Nephalem needs to take is to find Zoltun Kulle.
Players can find Zoltun Kulle in any Act's town, and he has a quest (marked with a yellow exclamation) that you will want to complete asap.
Zoltun Kulle is a ghost at this point, after being reassembled and then defeated (ouch!) in Diablo 3's story.
He puts you on a quest in Adventure Mode to find Kanai's Cube, which players will need to unlock each new season of Diablo 3. This is arguably the essential item for Diablo 3's endgame.
YouTuber AbathurSnuggles has an excellent video showcasing the location of Zoltun Kulle, who appeared in Adventure Mode following the Diablo 3 patch 2.3, released in 2015. Check it out below.
To get the blood flowing, some lore text describes the Kanai's Cube and "a dark mage" seeking it. "An ancient and unspeakably powerful Horadric artifact was entrusted to the barbarians of Sescheron before their fall. If rumors are to be believed, a dark mage seeks it even now."
You can probably guess who that is.
Once you've found Kanai's Cube, Zoltun Kulle will remain close to the central waypoint of each Act's town in Diablo 3, next to the item. Here, the Horadric mage will taunt players (expected!) and sometimes provide hints to use the Kanai's Cube, even dropping hints about the recipes.
So there you have it, the exact location for Zoltun Kulle in Diablo 3's Adventure Mode in Season 28. Visit the infamous Horadric mage without delay to get that Kanai's Cube.
