Probably by far my favourite zone in-game. Unfortunately, any prospect of getting more of that was destroyed by keyboard turners. Most atmospheric and immersive zone ever in WoW.
I've fell in love with this zone aswell - its like in a movie crashing underneath the sea and with the running buff it was fine in the early 1/4 of the map and then you'll get the abysall sea horse
As a warlock The Unseen are great to farm at lvl50 when the grindspots are overcrowded. I also used it for raid prep, when I quickly needed a lot of soulshards. Drops are not too good, but the dumb look in other players faces when you fight air is priceless. I even got reported for cheating once lol
Reaching Duskwood first time leveling in vanilla is the most memorable moment of when meeting Stitches, having no idea where he came from or what he is. The scariest part is just seeing that hulking abomination slowly walk up the path from the fog in the distance before seeing the nameplate, and it's easy to stop and get creeped out at that point since you got no mount. It was scary seeing him face against the NPCs supposed to protect the road and them being no match to him. I remember trying to go to the side of the road, against the trees and bushes, hiding from him. I had no idea about his massive aggro range so when I did that and tried to get closer for screenshots, he spooked me by abruptly turning and sprinting towards me, killing me in a few hits. It was in that zone I really felt like I was in an MMO and a fantasy world way bigger than my character at the moment. It turned from scary to awesome when he reached Darkshore and several players as well as NPCs needs to fight him to take him down, giving you this very first feeling of fighting a world boss in a way.
My first trip to Duskwood I just swam across the river south of Goldshire and got eaten by wolves. My first experience with being underleveled for an area.
He’ll yeah!!!! Man I remember trippin tf out on seeing stitches for the first time! 😂🤣 thanks for letting me remember that memory I completely forgot!! Damn Man...great times I’ll never forget going on the tram for the first time feel in love with the game immediately after that lol 😂 I was in 7th grade. I’m 28 now.
The Upside-Down Sinners area is actually accessible since Legion. You can and also have to unlock the crypt and go inside to get a secret mount called Lucid Nightmare.
Nah. If they were then how would I lure stitches into darkshire on purpose and watch the chaos? Then to switch to an alliance alt and do it again but have the added benefit of watching gen chat explode in tears lol
what about the goldshire kids forming a circle that goes to stormwind and end at a house with haunting music and horror sounds and threats that you will die
I went there a few times and it really is spooky af. It's like the kids were possessed or something. The music also still gives me the creeps and the creepy, distant voices.
If Classic turns out to be successful, it would be nice if Blizzard decides to finish some things they left hanging in the game, like the Karazhan Crypts. Then again , all the original Blizzard guys have left the company...
Wait... how did I not know this? Dammit! Played WoW for 5 years, yet this is the first time I've heard about using that mount to enter the crypt. :o Thanks for writing this comment. Better late than never!
@@ReptilianTeaDrinker The mount itself doesn't really unlock the Crypts, it's that to even obtain the mount, you go on a huge journey to unlock it and the final puzzle takes you to the Crypts. You not only are awarded the Nightmare, but the Crypts will remain unlocked to you forever afterward.
When I first ran across Stitches, I realized that the WoW tips of "stay on the road to avoid enemies" were untrue. From that point on, I suffered immensely by playing by Lord of the Rings rules and "staying OFF the road". It was a huge mind fuck because I always feared giant elite enemies on the road, and many NPC when travelling off road. I really hope someone else can relate to this. lol
its a bit annoying how much 'stay on the road to avoid enemies' is untrue in wow lol, i feel like in every zone theres always those mobs that get way too close to the path or even step right onto it. 99% of the time its a huge nuisance
Could not agree more. I personally love underwater zones. Reminds me of diving. Unfortunately some keyboard turners found navigation there too difficult...
Vash'jir is my favorite zone in the game. It is the only zone in the game where it is truly 3D and has an atmosphere with multiple subzones. The fact you can run on the floor (with your mount too), sea mount, and fly above the water makes it so cool. Also the dynamic of the giant snail things (we save the one but not the other :( but that's what makes it cool) I wanted Nazjatar to be like it but of course the idiotic playerbase gets their way.
@@serbisthehero1987l And in Nazjatar, the whole playerbase was crying because of the different plattformes and all those navigation issues before flying xD Vash'hir is a great zone, this underwater feeling is wonderful, with the caverns, the kelp and all those things. and looking down sometimes with the dark water...I thought sometimes, that N'Zoth is somewhere down there in die dark depths. Seems legit, because Zin Azshari, which we find in Nazjatar is aswell there. Maybe the circle of stars is somewhere in that Zone. Cause before we fight Azshara, she is swimming around. So this could make sense.
@@Saltantia agreed. I wasn't all that enthralled by Nazjatar being made the way it was. It could've been so much cooler with its own expansion worth of content. Even N'zoth himself being relegated to a patch was rather disappointing. Ah well.
Never play WoW but the Whale Shark gives off the same vibe as the Emerald Weapon from Vinal Fantasy VII : A huge underwater monster that you really don't want to bump into.
to this day I STILL cannot understand the hatred towards that zone and have yet to meet someone who can articulate their displeasure other than "REEEE YOU STUPID!!!" followed by a mouth foaming tantrum seizure on the floor by them lol, that zone was pretty neat and I actually enjoyed it.
Hey! i'm just here to tell yall that karazhan crypts can still be acessed on retail all you need to do is to die near the main entrance, the first iron gate, go in as a spirit then you can pass through it, resurrect inside, then there;s the wooden gate Instead of trying to pass the woden gate, there's some kind of a hole with a red, cauldron looking thing that blocks you from droping down thing is, it too only blocks you if you're alive, so find a way to die inside, again I sugest you open the "Help" menu and use "Unstuck", it will kill you, die near the red thing, go inside again as a ghost, PASS the red thing (you will most probably be on a ghost gryphon) then ress, and BAM, you're inside
I always made it my mission to personally kill the Fel Reaver every time I saw it whenever I revisited the Outlands. It was probably the only thing that startled me while leveling.
Ghostland always made me feel creep out, especially Knucklerot and Luzran quest, you would be walking they would come up and kill you. I hated the Fel Reaver, but then when I was at a higher level I would go back and seek revenge and dance.
In legion they created something as creepy as the Fel Reaver and it makes the same sound! It made me remember old good times when I was afraid of this giant demonic machine
I have Thalassophobia so Vash'jir was quite a trip. The edges of the zone or even just the thin, deep trenches delineating the subzones would have my heart beating out of my chest. Even just the whale shark, despite being an pretty peaceful mob, freaked me the hell out as I swam up to it and it just kept giving bigger and bigger. Fel Reavers were definitely scarier on the metric of being a giant wandering mob who directly posed a threat to the player.
I remember when whale shark came out and people on my server were trying to make a raid group to do it. Biggest problem was tank was getting hit so hard they couldn't keep heals up, and I'm pretty sure it was closer to end of expansion too. Good times
I can't remember the name or location of these particular Stag (elk? Deer?) mobs, but they're fairly low level. Once killed the stag just stands there (doesn't have a dying animation), fades into a matte black shadow for a few seconds, then fades away completely. Nobody ever knows what I'm talking about, but I know for a fact they exist and they creep me the hell out.
Correction: The Unseen are still in Battle for Azeroth. I just tried it and walked all the way to Stranglethorn consistently being concussed while healing myself. The Unseen ditch you when you reach the bridge
Well, about the Karazhan crypt, you are able to get in nowdays, warlocks have their hidden affli skin from Legion inside, and the puzzle mount (forgot name) sents you down there to solve the last puzzle.
2:20 I remember killing one of them the first time I saw them. As a hunter I kited one of these things for an hour or so. Sadly it didn't drop anything special.
Ugh, the only thing that scares me everywhere is deep water. For example, the upside-down Sinners looks cool but the large, dark water area all around me... it gives me anxiety.
The creepiest thing about the Unseen tavern, is that unlike all other haunted, abandoned buildings, this one plays the generic tavern ambience. (The people talking and working/moving around)
I just wanted to meantion that you could see Unseen at Mistmantle Manor ... I always questioned myself why they are just there ... Now they can be everywhere .. Inside Scarlet Raven tavern ... Some old houses that are totally empty except some critters ... Jesus this is rly scary
I loved Vashj'ir and still love questing there whilst leveling new toons. It's such a unique place unlike any other leveling zone. I remember soloing a whale-shark with my worgen hunter back then and the battle of kiting it up and down the east coast of vashj'ir back and forth, all the terrifying close-calls of literally being inside the model's mouth during the turn-abouts but not within it's hit-range, and even almost swimming backwards into a second one whilst kiting the first one. Being on a PVP server at the time, I got killed during one attempt by another player about half-way through, I failed another 3-4 times trying to do it as MM and BM until I finally realized that the instant-casts and DoT's that survival hunters had at the time was the way to go. Probably took me 30 minutes of effort to solo the thing but holy did it feel good when I managed it. At the time I was extremely casual and my PvE-experience was LFG dungeons and one run-through of LFR, so it felt like a great achievement to me at the time. Not to mention it literally gave you an achievement, "From Hell's Heart I Stab at Thee", with the lovely flavour-text of "Defeat the Whale Shark in Vashj'ir (despite or perhaps because of the fact that he drops no loot)." Good memories :D
maybe I'm showing my age here but I remember back in the original release classic days and getting to unguru crator and getting jumped by a devilsaur used to scare the hell out of me
The karazhan crypts are supposed to be a reflection of Mediv's two personalities. The good regular Mediv, and the Mediv that is controlled by Sargeras.
I remember losing my shit when I first encountered a Fel Reaver. I was there, at 5:11, picking herbs for my inks, when that giant thing appeared from the corner with that terrifying sound right in front of me. I though I'll get a heart attack.
I remember back in the TBC days a friend and I played a private server which had the horde "starting" area inside the Kara crypt. We both rolled gnome rogues, the only race small enough to actually fit inside some of those little holes that are littered along the bottom of the walls. I cannot express how funny it was seeing a whole faction of players so confused as to where we kept disappearing to, after shadow step one banging people. The lols, the rage.
There's a giant mob in Argus that lets out the same sound as the Fel Reavers and the screen shakes when you're near it, don't remember what it's called though. As a new WoW player, that was the first time I actually felt scared by an NPC.
Fel reavers had to have been glitched for a while in early TBC because I used to watch them zoom across the zone ridiculously fast, like someone using speed hack. And you’d see them on the other side of the zone, and one second later they’d zoom straight at you and gank you. It was brutal.
Warlords of Draenor should be on this list. Especially garrisons. We haven't got our Garrison Resources in years you best believe our followers are dead.
The unseen mobs where put into game specifically for warlocks to farm soul shards in classic. they are all perfect level to drain soul for shards at level 60 and are easy to kill. (i main a warlock in classic btw, which is how i know this) there are no quests that involve these mobs and they drop mostly grey items with the occasional cloth drop!
Upside down sinners is a reference to my favorite movie of all time: Big Trouble in Little China. The protagonists get into an elevator which fills with water and when they swim out of the elevator, there's hooks and chains and people hung upside down. It is explained that this is the hell of the upside down sinners. This movie is also referenced by the 6 Demon Bag item (a relic held by the protagonist Egg Shen from the movie).
I quite enjoyed vash'ir underwater zone. first you get a speed buff when walkilng on the seabed so try kissing the seabed as often as you can for that speed buff, second, you get the fast underwater mount so I don't know what people smoke to trash the zone and questing there so much.
The karazhan crypts are actually acessable in retail WoW. It becomes accessable after you do the "Lucid Nightmare" Secret, because actaully one step will take you inside the crypts and they stay open after collecting your reward.
I started the burning crusade stuff earlier this week, and my dad told me about that sneaky fel reaver. It looks so cool and menacing from a distance and I always keep my eye out for it. after he got maxed out, he went to farm the reavers as revenge.
@@amberslahlize7961 2:34 How preposterous! There's no way a real whale shark would attack a human being in reality... In general, Whale Sharks never attack a human being, not even on purpose or by accident. Whale Sharks are absolute gentle giants in real life. The only eat small fish, plankton, krill and a cluster of fish.. just like whales. And sharks don't have teeth on the lips, but they do have real small, tiny teeth on the tongue!
@@dr.robotico7879 Whale sharks are one of those animals that really fascinates me, not just because of their name. I did not say anything about whale sharks here though - but I know that in World of Warcraft they do attack you. Regardless if this is how they are in real life or not, I'd be scared of such a large beast. The big mouth just has a way of intimating you.
I know it's a cartoony game but have you ever thought about all those times you've casually had somebody's SEVERED HEAD in your backpack so you could bring it to some guy for money?
I remember kiting a Fel Reaver into Shattrath. It absolutely leveled the entire city. They eventually got tethered to Hellfire Penninsula after too many people were doing this.
Only TBC beta players knew the ULTIMATE terror. One patch replaced the Fel Reaver model with a simple brown bear, making it difficult to see it coming even when looking for it. It would forever be known as the Bear Reaver.
Creepiest thing for me was C'thun talking in the background all the way through AQ 40. I was in a high end raiding guild and we just spent hours and hours in naxx and AQ 40 going through the wipes to learn the bosses, and that things voice whispering constantly drove me nuts. I love all the other sounds in the game so I kept the sound on for timing etc. but that was the creepiest thing for me.
The Unseen have taken many souls on Hardcore servers. The worldwide message popping up that someone has died to "Unseen" is always an oof moment for all.
4 years after this video, a decade after TBC, I'm now one shotting Fell Reavers whenever I visit outland. I am upset by how crap the loot is that they drop. I think that the upside down sinners is a reference to the movie "Big Trouble In Little China", where Wang mentions the "Upside Down Sinners". I would argue that WoW started off as a horror game, if you think about it.
Actually you can get to The Upside-Down SInners by doing the Lucid Nightmare puzzle "quest" line , and the last place is you need to go is Karazhan's crypt.
Thaddius in Naxxramas always scared the jibblies out of me, especially when in that part of the raid, you could her the screams and wails of anguish of all the people still on some level alive that make him. *jibbly jibbly jibbly*
on Upside down sinners, Blizz later made ghosts not able to pass through the gate, but you could duel a warlock in that stairwell and it was possible to glitch through the gate while being feared. I wish this video would have shown the old Stratholme glitch, or the Hidden rock room in Org glitch.
Vashjir in general scares the absolute shit out of me. I still won't step foot there. Pretty cool about the invisible mobs in Raven Hill, I never knew that.
The fel reavers gave my mom ptsd lmao it's fun to get her talking about them because she gets super excited over just how easy it was for the massive things to sneak up on someone despite the auditory queue.... i think they even made the screen shake?
Correction Stitches does not have a range limit when he has targeted a player as he as been kited to other zones. Any hunter can kill him by kiting him in a oval given enough room by turning off growl and judicious use of concussive shot and distracting shot.
Okay so My fel reaver experience is I saw it, and said "I wonder what it drops?" And attacked one, died a minute later (after tons of healing) and yeah, I've guess I got lucky one never ran up to me?
The Forgotten Crypt isn't useless anymore as it's a part of the Lucid Nightmare mount puzzle. Was nice that Blizz actually used the Crypts for something ;)
Back when u could chain cast Far Sight ... or the Hunter equivelant, you could cast it in the corner just past the gate and keep casting and exploring the zone under Kara.
The upside down sinners were a direct plagiarism of Big Trouble in little China. In that movie we are told by the characters that the Chinese have a lot of different Hells. Lo Pan (the big bad) goes to the trouble of recreating some of those Hells for his enemies, and Jack Burton together with his friend Wang have to swim through the upside down sinners when they sneak into Lo Pans warehouse.
The Unseen are the most convient place to farm Soul Shards for Alliance Warlocks. They're the exact lowest level you can get a shard from and they're pretty close to Stormwind
I recently got back to WoW a few months ago and when I did Vash’jir I HATED it. It was a very scary and unnerving area. I didn’t realize how afraid of the ocean I was until playing in that zone.
Vashijr wasn't that bad. I mean they even gave you a zone specific underwater mount. I liked that it was something entirely new. And as a Druid it was even more fun.
The unseen thing actually happens/happened in the ruins of lordaeron too, before mists of pandaria just straight up added lost of lordaeron ghost as collectible “pets”. I remember showing so many people back in the day and they thought I was full of shit until they tried it and mysteriously died lmao
you can go through the karazhan crypt as part of the secret puzzle for the lucid nightmare mount. the mount if found in the Crypt once you have completed all the previous steps.
I loved vashjir, the underwater feel, everything about it
Those moments when you look down and see nothing but water
Great, horrifying times
Probably by far my favourite zone in-game. Unfortunately, any prospect of getting more of that was destroyed by keyboard turners. Most atmospheric and immersive zone ever in WoW.
Agreed, favorite zone. Before that it was Nagrand.
I held off from doing Baa'l stuff because of that shit until someone from my guild was doing that
I've fell in love with this zone aswell - its like in a movie crashing underneath the sea and with the running buff it was fine in the early 1/4 of the map and then you'll get the abysall sea horse
honestly..i really like Nazjatar. Which you obviously cant really compare to vashjir. but i still like it a lot:)
Leveling in Hellfire and hearing the war cry of the Fel Reaver: Ohhh nOOOOOOOOOOO
yeah that scared me so much
The Stitches of TBC.
Yeah j remember that so clearly quite a scary thing back then I was there on my very first character 😂
Is this a jojo reference? *Chuckles*
Yes, yes, yes! Oh my god...
As a warlock The Unseen are great to farm at lvl50 when the grindspots are overcrowded. I also used it for raid prep, when I quickly needed a lot of soulshards. Drops are not too good, but the dumb look in other players faces when you fight air is priceless. I even got reported for cheating once lol
everyone gangsta till activision actually bans you for cheating

Seeing C'thun's eye going from looking around the room to a focus glare at a player is one of the most scariest things in wow.
The Upside-Down Sinners area is actually accessible since Legion. You can and also have to unlock the crypt and go inside to get a secret mount called Lucid Nightmare.
Stitches and upsidedown sinners should be swapped.
Nah, I think stitches has more scare factor lol the sinners were just, disturbing.
Nah. If they were then how would I lure stitches into darkshire on purpose and watch the chaos? Then to switch to an alliance alt and do it again but have the added benefit of watching gen chat explode in tears lol
what about the goldshire kids forming a circle that goes to stormwind and end at a house with haunting music and horror sounds and threats that you will die
I never knew about this.
what?
Everyone and their mums know about that by now.
with that house next to lions pride inn and weird stuff happening in it?
I went there a few times and it really is spooky af. It's like the kids were possessed or something. The music also still gives me the creeps and the creepy, distant voices.
If Classic turns out to be successful, it would be nice if Blizzard decides to finish some things they left hanging in the game, like the Karazhan Crypts. Then again , all the original Blizzard guys have left the company...

"left hanging" lmao

Activsion: Slot machines.
A lot of the people who made vanilla are still in blizzard, but not all of them are on the wow team anymore.
Left Hanging like those corpses lmfao
son of arugal surely deserves a spot on this list.
anyone else agree?
Looks like author never played horde
Doing the lucid nightmare mount on a character allows access to the crypt as it takes you there
This is correct and once you've gained the mount, the crypt stays open.
Wait... how did I not know this? Dammit!

@@shofiemahowyn I loved getting that mount, what a journey! It was fun to do puzzles, even tho the dark labyrinth took ages for me.
How do you get this Quest? Is it a Retail quest and not a TBC quest?
The roar of the Fel Reaver is terrifying, but I can't put it ahead of the battle shriek of Sinistar. Now that was nightmare-inducing.
When I first ran across Stitches, I realized that the WoW tips of "stay on the road to avoid enemies" were untrue.

It was a huge mind fuck because I always feared giant elite enemies on the road, and many NPC when travelling off road. I really hope someone else can relate to this. lol

well in PVP realms you did have to stay off the road most of the time
Vash is by far my most favorite zone ever. It makes me sad that blizz won't do that again. I love it. It was so pretty and ominous.

Hey!
i'm just here to tell yall that karazhan crypts can still be acessed on retail
all you need to do is to die near the main entrance, the first iron gate, go in as a spirit then you can pass through it, resurrect inside, then there;s the wooden gate
Instead of trying to pass the woden gate, there's some kind of a hole with a red, cauldron looking thing that blocks you from droping down
thing is, it too only blocks you if you're alive, so find a way to die inside, again
I sugest you open the "Help" menu and use "Unstuck", it will kill you, die near the red thing, go inside again as a ghost, PASS the red thing (you will most probably be on a ghost gryphon) then ress, and BAM, you're inside
I always made it my mission to personally kill the Fel Reaver every time I saw it whenever I revisited the Outlands. It was probably the only thing that startled me while leveling.
Who would win:
1. An eldritch nightmare creature that drives gods and kings to madness.
2. One stitchy boi
Ever since experiencing that whale shark in Vashjir, I've had terrible thalassophobia lol it seriously scarred me for life
ppl love the scary shit in WoW we need more creepy things
Blizz heard your wish and gave you black and bald blood elf female, zone made of bones - Maldraxxus - and gear in theme of that zone.
Ghostland always made me feel creep out, especially Knucklerot and Luzran quest, you would be walking they would come up and kill you. I hated the Fel Reaver, but then when I was at a higher level I would go back and seek revenge and dance.
New Drinking Game: take a shot every time Vaulty says “actually”. I guarantee you’ll be hammered by the end of the video.
Problem is I will run out of money lol
Ah, my favorite zone in WoW: The Hills Bradford Hills.
Undefined Undefined Ah, yes. I to remember well THE HILLS BRADFORD HILLS. Fond memories indeed
In legion they created something as creepy as the Fel Reaver and it makes the same sound! It made me remember old good times when I was afraid of this giant demonic machine
The upside-down sinners is a reference to the "Hell of the Upside-Down Sinners," that was mentioned in "Big Trouble in Little China."

Fel Reavers were definitely scarier on the metric of being a giant wandering mob who directly posed a threat to the player.
You can get into the Karazhan Crypts as of legion as long as you do the questline to get the lucid nightmare
upside down sinners was probably the scariest discovery we made in wow. That was a very very strange experience while waiting for TBC to launch
That, and human seedlings are definitely the most disturbing.
I remember when whale shark came out and people on my server were trying to make a raid group to do it. Biggest problem was tank was getting hit so hard they couldn't keep heals up, and I'm pretty sure it was closer to end of expansion too. Good times
The unseen!! OMG, finally i know why i dead years ago, i was wonder what happened .....never thought about asking a lock for detect invisibility....

The creepiest thing about the Unseen tavern, is that unlike all other haunted, abandoned buildings, this one plays the generic tavern ambience. (The people talking and working/moving around)
I just wanted to meantion that you could see Unseen at Mistmantle Manor ... I always questioned myself why they are just there ... Now they can be everywhere .. Inside Scarlet Raven tavern ... Some old houses that are totally empty except some critters ... Jesus this is rly scary
I loved Vashj'ir and still love questing there whilst leveling new toons. It's such a unique place unlike any other leveling zone. I remember soloing a whale-shark with my worgen hunter back then and the battle of kiting it up and down the east coast of vashj'ir back and forth, all the terrifying close-calls of literally being inside the model's mouth during the turn-abouts but not within it's hit-range, and even almost swimming backwards into a second one whilst kiting the first one.
Being on a PVP server at the time, I got killed during one attempt by another player about half-way through, I failed another 3-4 times trying to do it as MM and BM until I finally realized that the instant-casts and DoT's that survival hunters had at the time was the way to go.
Probably took me 30 minutes of effort to solo the thing but holy did it feel good when I managed it.
At the time I was extremely casual and my PvE-experience was LFG dungeons and one run-through of LFR, so it felt like a great achievement to me at the time.
Not to mention it literally gave you an achievement, "From Hell's Heart I Stab at Thee", with the lovely flavour-text of "Defeat the Whale Shark in Vashj'ir (despite or perhaps because of the fact that he drops no loot)."
Good memories :D
Never knew about the Upside-down Sinners. That should've been number 1 on the list.
I absolutely loved the underwater aspect of WoW and honestly forgot about it until now!!
maybe I'm showing my age here but I remember back in the original release classic days and getting to unguru crator and getting jumped by a devilsaur used to scare the hell out of me
I remember killing a Whale Shark in early Cata, though it took a raid group lol.
The karazhan crypts are supposed to be a reflection of Mediv's two personalities. The good regular Mediv, and the Mediv that is controlled by Sargeras.
Medivh*
Those fel reavers were something else. Really made you fear the burning legion right off the bat when first coming to outlands. 👍🎅
I remember losing my shit when I first encountered a Fel Reaver. I was there, at 5:11, picking herbs for my inks, when that giant thing appeared from the corner with that terrifying sound right in front of me. I though I'll get a heart attack.
I remember back in the TBC days a friend and I played a private server which had the horde "starting" area inside the Kara crypt. We both rolled gnome rogues, the only race small enough to actually fit inside some of those little holes that are littered along the bottom of the walls. I cannot express how funny it was seeing a whole faction of players so confused as to where we kept disappearing to, after shadow step one banging people. The lols, the rage.
There's a giant mob in Argus that lets out the same sound as the Fel Reavers and the screen shakes when you're near it, don't remember what it's called though. As a new WoW player, that was the first time I actually felt scared by an NPC.
Fel reavers had to have been glitched for a while in early TBC because I used to watch them zoom across the zone ridiculously fast, like someone using speed hack. And you’d see them on the other side of the zone, and one second later they’d zoom straight at you and gank you. It was brutal.
Warlords of Draenor should be on this list. Especially garrisons.
We haven't got our Garrison Resources in years you best believe our followers are dead.
4:50 the basegame manual also hints that these guys are also present in lordereon
The unseen mobs where put into game specifically for warlocks to farm soul shards in classic. they are all perfect level to drain soul for shards at level 60 and are easy to kill. (i main a warlock in classic btw, which is how i know this) there are no quests that involve these mobs and they drop mostly grey items with the occasional cloth drop!
Upside down sinners is a reference to my favorite movie of all time: Big Trouble in Little China. The protagonists get into an elevator which fills with water and when they swim out of the elevator, there's hooks and chains and people hung upside down. It is explained that this is the hell of the upside down sinners. This movie is also referenced by the 6 Demon Bag item (a relic held by the protagonist Egg Shen from the movie).
7:56 i think this is a reference to "Big Trouble in Little China"
In the movie there is a place called "Hell of the upside down sinners".
Okay here is a challenge: How many times vaulty says the word "actually" per video :P
I quite enjoyed vash'ir underwater zone. first you get a speed buff when walkilng on the seabed so try kissing the seabed as often as you can for that speed buff, second, you get the fast underwater mount so I don't know what people smoke to trash the zone and questing there so much.
The karazhan crypts are actually acessable in retail WoW. It becomes accessable after you do the "Lucid Nightmare" Secret, because actaully one step will take you inside the crypts and they stay open after collecting your reward.
I started the burning crusade stuff earlier this week, and my dad told me about that sneaky fel reaver. It looks so cool and menacing from a distance and I always keep my eye out for it. after he got maxed out, he went to farm the reavers as revenge.
Your dad is so cool. :D

How preposterous! There's no way a real whale shark would attack a human being in reality... In general, Whale Sharks never attack a human being, not even on purpose or by accident. Whale Sharks are absolute gentle giants in real life. The only eat small fish, plankton, krill and a cluster of fish.. just like whales. And sharks don't have teeth on the lips, but they do have real small, tiny teeth on the tongue!
@@dr.robotico7879 Whale sharks are one of those animals that really fascinates me, not just because of their name.
I did not say anything about whale sharks here though - but I know that in World of Warcraft they do attack you.
Regardless if this is how they are in real life or not, I'd be scared of such a large beast.
The big mouth just has a way of intimating you.
back in the day me and my guild formed a raid to kill a whale shark... we were disappointed when it didn't drop anything
I know it's a cartoony game but have you ever thought about all those times you've casually had somebody's SEVERED HEAD in your backpack so you could bring it to some guy for money?
I remember kiting a Fel Reaver into Shattrath. It absolutely leveled the entire city. They eventually got tethered to Hellfire Penninsula after too many people were doing this.
Only TBC beta players knew the ULTIMATE terror. One patch replaced the Fel Reaver model with a simple brown bear, making it difficult to see it coming even when looking for it. It would forever be known as the Bear Reaver.
Creepiest thing for me was C'thun talking in the background all the way through AQ 40. I was in a high end raiding guild and we just spent hours and hours in naxx and AQ 40 going through the wipes to learn the bosses, and that things voice whispering constantly drove me nuts. I love all the other sounds in the game so I kept the sound on for timing etc. but that was the creepiest thing for me.
I never knew about stitches ^^ I always wondered why my uncle's guild was called "Children of Stitches" lol
you lost one scary thing - a price of 60 level mounts in Classic
The scariest thing is realizing I accidentally clicked on a Vaulty video.
The Unseen have taken many souls on Hardcore servers. The worldwide message popping up that someone has died to "Unseen" is always an oof moment for all.
4 years after this video, a decade after TBC, I'm now one shotting Fell Reavers whenever I visit outland. I am upset by how crap the loot is that they drop. I think that the upside down sinners is a reference to the movie "Big Trouble In Little China", where Wang mentions the "Upside Down Sinners". I would argue that WoW started off as a horror game, if you think about it.
that top 1 is very true, when i was 11 playing wow lich king i got very very much afraid of the stitches walking by the roads
i'll be honest, Vash'ir is one of my all time favorite zones in WOW, i may get a lot of hate, but i love it :D
Once you had your own seahorse mount the place was great.
Back in classic, killing the Unseen was a reliable soul shard farm for savvy Warlocks before raids.
This sounds like the kid who says “hey Daralon” all grown up
Actually you can get to The Upside-Down SInners by doing the Lucid Nightmare puzzle "quest" line , and the last place is you need to go is Karazhan's crypt.
Thaddius in Naxxramas always scared the jibblies out of me, especially when in that part of the raid, you could her the screams and wails of anguish of all the people still on some level alive that make him. *jibbly jibbly jibbly*
The most scary thing in WOW is being a healer .
on Upside down sinners, Blizz later made ghosts not able to pass through the gate, but you could duel a warlock in that stairwell and it was possible to glitch through the gate while being feared. I wish this video would have shown the old Stratholme glitch, or the Hidden rock room in Org glitch.
Vashjir in general scares the absolute shit out of me. I still won't step foot there. Pretty cool about the invisible mobs in Raven Hill, I never knew that.
The fel reavers gave my mom ptsd lmao it's fun to get her talking about them because she gets super excited over just how easy it was for the massive things to sneak up on someone despite the auditory queue.... i think they even made the screen shake?
Correction Stitches does not have a range limit when he has targeted a player as he as been kited to other zones. Any hunter can kill him by kiting him in a oval given enough room by turning off growl and judicious use of concussive shot and distracting shot.
Scariest thing in wow is when you leveling in vanilla and you need to enter the mine...
Okay so
My fel reaver experience is
I saw it, and said "I wonder what it drops?" And attacked one, died a minute later (after tons of healing) and yeah, I've guess I got lucky one never ran up to me?
The Forgotten Crypt isn't useless anymore as it's a part of the Lucid Nightmare mount puzzle. Was nice that Blizz actually used the Crypts for something ;)
Back when u could chain cast Far Sight ... or the Hunter equivelant, you could cast it in the corner just past the gate and keep casting and exploring the zone under Kara.
The upside down sinners were a direct plagiarism of Big Trouble in little China. In that movie we are told by the characters that the Chinese have a lot of different Hells. Lo Pan (the big bad) goes to the trouble of recreating some of those Hells for his enemies, and Jack Burton together with his friend Wang have to swim through the upside down sinners when they sneak into Lo Pans warehouse.
The Unseen are the most convient place to farm Soul Shards for Alliance Warlocks. They're the exact lowest level you can get a shard from and they're pretty close to Stormwind
8:25 - you can still get in by deleting your Hearthstone, killing yourself (Character Stuck!) and resurrecting inside! :)
I recently got back to WoW a few months ago and when I did Vash’jir I HATED it. It was a very scary and unnerving area. I didn’t realize how afraid of the ocean I was until playing in that zone.
It's a lot more fun as a druid in water form. at least you can move around.
psygrimlock Yea, well I was on my rogue and I used the seahorse mount, and even using that was scary lol the sounds it made and how it moved 😬😬
I randomly found the unseen when i was first playing as a warlock.
The only thing they are good for is to farm soul shards at level 60.
Regarding the Unseen, same thing in Ruins of Lordaeron above Undercity , also a mage with Invisibility can see those spirits/invisible NPCs
Nice video and nice editing, you are getting better fast
Vashijr wasn't that bad. I mean they even gave you a zone specific underwater mount. I liked that it was something entirely new. And as a Druid it was even more fun.
The scariest thing to happen to me was when my ghost died from fatigue when I went to revive my dead body in the ocean
The unseen thing actually happens/happened in the ruins of lordaeron too, before mists of pandaria just straight up added lost of lordaeron ghost as collectible “pets”. I remember showing so many people back in the day and they thought I was full of shit until they tried it and mysteriously died lmao
you can go through the karazhan crypt as part of the secret puzzle for the lucid nightmare mount. the mount if found in the Crypt once you have completed all the previous steps.
The Karazan Crypt is where you go for the Lucid Nightmare mount lol.
