I haven't played WoW since TBC and these exploration videos are still absolutely fascinating to me. They add another layer of mythicism to this legendary world.
its really cool how you directly credit people throughout the video where as most people would just say "i found this somewhere else". this was a really interesting video im glad i decided to watch it!
This guys is Madori999 who has been producing some of THE best exploration content available recently, check out his channel at ua-cam.com/users/flightmart999 (or click on his name if that link doesn't work). Prepare to have your mind blown-even I don't know how he gets half his footage and I think about this shit 24/7.
Thanks ! I think I will made more soft " How to escape " for public in the future, like my first here : ua-cam.com/video/9N8hzZvwCKA/v-deo.html because I think It's some things Blizzard not going to fix, and it can help new explorers to begin... I like your video here because there are a passion for exploration, some soft things and good choices to reveal and I think Blizzard will not fix it
I would just like to point out that the dummy npc you found underneith strath is intentional, when kill bosses within that dungeon there is a red text box that tells you information, that npc is delivering that chat into your chat bar. you'll notice if you look down at the floor after killing bosses. i found this one out 2 years ago with my friend :P
Awesome Video! As always! I've always been very interested in these kinds of Glithcy Exploration Videos, a Video with 10 secret Locations and also easy insturctions on how to get there? Man, you're awesome!
At 8:50, the bit about getting behind the Ghostlands portal, back when Cata was first released there were a few places Blizz didn't patch up where you could get under the world and essentially fly to wherever you wanted. An easy one for horde was one particular room in Undercity that allowed you to mount, fly up into the ceiling of the room and you could access this Ghostlands area by simply flying under the world to it. It's since been patched unfortunately. Awesome vids man, keep it up!
Ah yes, underworld flying, I used to love it. I used to fly half the length of continents to access certain hard-to-get-at zones. If you ever fancy trying it again I think there is a workaround-when you go under the world you dc, but you can get around with that brazier of awakening. I saw something like that on ownedcore exploration anyway.
Yeah it saddens me someone that talented doesn't have 100K subs. His work can be used for so many things-exploration, gold-making, mount-farming, mythic etc. It must be so disheartening for him to churn out masterpieces and see comments about how people don't like his background music or some nonsense.
Instant subbed after I watched this video of yours. Very interesting content and nice explanation of it. A cup of coffee and a video like this, great way to start the day. Keep it up :)
I think the Thuzadin Acolyte you are talking about @18:00 is the NPC that yells out when you have cleared one of the three ziggurats. Also, I saw the yell chatbox come from underneath the instance.
I really enjoyed this video. The community of exploring has really changed over the years. I remember how cool it was to get into Hyjal and the Ghostlands Pre-BC. Ghostlands had a decent chunk of Blood elf buildings in it back then (near where the first set of flags are now). As well, getting out of Kara was pretty cool. Now that we have Demon Hunters, it all seems much easier now. This video has inspired me to check out some of the older things I used to break out of and see if I can find anything new.
Thanks mate I was always curious what ghostlands was like then-I'd assumed blood elf buildings came with BC. Demon hunters do make things much easier-like vanilla itself exploration has become easier but in some cases less satisfying.
Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks The buildings looked like high eleven originally, but changed to the more, be ones as they updated models iirc. It was almost as they used it for testing them before moving it to an instanced version. I'll likely try to pop into a private server and see if I can remember how I did it.
yeah, well I accidentally pressed shadow step one the bridge dude in UBRS and got to check out LBRS looking basically exactly the same as ever. Leet exploits 😎 but seriously enjoy your videos, always fun to watch.
The Thuzadin Acolyte is actually the one who /yells every time you down a ziggurat in Service Entrance Stratholme. They put him down there so that he's audible wherever you are in the instance.
A nice exploit in old dal, which i'm not aware has been mentioned elsewhere,(correct me if it has been),if you go to the leatherworking shop and fly up hugging the front wall,you can pass through the circular window at the top.By this point, you have to carefully fly down through the wall by the door to the shop and through a tiny untextured space,leaving you on a flying mount underneath dal. Thus far I've used it to go into Vargoth's room, the tunnel of the engineering vendor Kay toogie,(only accessible with a random wormhole generator proc), the arena mentioned in this video, and the hordes section of dalaran near the cooking trainer,(I did this on an alliance character,though i'm sue it can be done on a horde char as well).The same window in new dal is unaffected by this trick regrettably.
One of my favorite things about your videos is always the way you say your intro... It doesn't seem like what I would consider an especially "good" intro in the way that most good intros are considered "good", but there's just something about how you say it that is perfect... Not too fancy or anything, but an interesting delivery...
Used to be able to get under Dalaran by using a mammoth mount under the bridge in the Violet Hold courtyardm but alas, it does not work. Also used to be able to glitch under SW by jumping into the wall off the one torch by the old AH
Archvaldor i really enjoy your videos, I’m not sure if you’ll see this post or not but I just wanted to let you know. I wish i could support you on Patreon but i just am financially unable. You’re videos are amazing and extremely interesting, i’ve played WoW for 11 years and have never seen anything like the mysteries you find. Keep it up and thanks for the content!
Aw thanks mate, that really made my day. I still read every comment I get, though I can't always respond any more. With regard to the Patreon don't worry about it: it is really meant as a service rather than a donation thing. Comments like this are really inspiring and help keep me motivated, thanks so much.
After some time thinking i feel i understand why's there a continent below tomb, its something they've done before as well. In the Everbloom dungeon in WoD, they created the whole of westfall and elwynn forest only to replicate that scenario with the final boss, which takes place in stormwind. One would think that they would only replicate art assets but in certain angles you can see the whole terrain rendered. I think this is the same for Tomb. At the end of KJ fight you're placed in an instanced Azsuna where you can see Argus in the sky. I wouldn't have known until i reminded myself of that Everbloom case. They rendered the whole broken shore only for that small place after the raid is over.
15:00 About that, here's an idea: Make a new series of videos called "Community showcase" where you show other people's videos on stuff you don't have own footage of. :) The only requirement really should be a source included if they have not found it by themselves, so you can give proper credit to the founder and the explorer. Will also grow your channel, especially if you mashup a few videos together to pass the 10 minute mark. :)
I thought about doing something like that (though your vision is a lot more coherent and well thought out than mine). Why I held off is that I'm not sure a) about the exploitation issue b) I'd become more like a presenter or an entertainer rather than someone who discovers exploits and shows them off. I've always seen myself as more of the latter than the former-indeed I only put my voice on the videos in the first place because I was too stupid to work out how to overlay music.
It's exploitation if they don't agree, if they specifically ask you to do so and send you their videos, it's a shoutout. Also I don't see how it would harm the channel to show more content. Yes, coming up with your own stuff is cool, but I bet most people are subscribed to one or two more explorers other then you and a lot of stuff goes around unnoticed and unenjoyed while it lasted. :D Also you can keep your voiceover explanations of what the person is doing (like the object infernal strike explanation) over people's videos and keep the current style of the channel. :)
great video, this is amazing work congrats and thanks for sharing! i've always wanted to get to the emerald dream , i know there has been a way from inside one mop instance and it's probably still possible but that's like the holy grail of exploration for me (you should still be able to get under deadmines with a goblin glider unless they fixed that , pretty cool there)
That version of the emerald dream hasn't been accessible for years, there used to be a way by disconnecting on the portals. I think it is still in-game though, it wasn't actually removed. The deadmines old outlands thing is still possible-but it has done to death by other explorers so I've never done it (I like to do new things). It remains one of the most spectacular explorations though.
Speaking of the dungeons which is actually a one dungeon. As far as you know all TBC locations is placed on a one ingame map. This means that the draenei's and blood elves' starting zones and the Outland have the same mapID. Thats why you need to go through the loading screen to reach these zones. But it's also means you theoretically can travel between all TBC zones directly with no loadings. It is possible on a private server but i managed to do this on the UNOFFICIAL live server (with no GM abilities) like 5 years ago. ua-cam.com/video/jn4EyfSIsDQ/v-deo.html This is a really old footage I made in 2012. I tried to reproduce this on OFFICIAL live server in 2013 but realized that it's impossible. Notes (READ BEFORE WATCHING): 1) This is UNOFFICIAL LIVE server where I didn't have any GM abilities. 2) On official server you can't jump down to the flying rock to bypass the invisible wall as I did at 0:27. The server will kill you instantly even after shaman's reincarnation. 3) On official server you can't fly through the blue wall (as far as I know) as I did at 2:24. 4) On official server the fatigue will kill you way faster and you can't just heal up yourself as shown from 3:55. The text at 2:09 - "Requires: slowfall 2.5 minutes, flymount 310% or u can try 280% + paladin's aura". The main goal is to reach the water surface (3:55) before your character falls down to coordinate Z < -500 where I died and got ported to the graveyard. Draenei's starting zone is placed quite similar: you need to travel from the lower right corner of the Outland but the distance you need to fly is more than 2 times longer, so you can do this on the private server only with GM speed. PS: UA-cam automatically made timelinks to this video. It's kinda weird.
Thanks great video great post. You can actually reproduce this on live currently with the antorus bug (if it hasn't been fixed yet). I would have done it myself but I don't raid seriously and can't get access to the relevant exploit. See ownedcore for details.
bet it is jumping over the gap at start, tagging one pack and letting it aggro the whole thing. awesome video.always wondered where was that guy yelling from in stratholm.
18:12 reason for that is, that the NPC was spawned just a liiiiiiiiittle bit under ground level, so he falls every time he's loaded. :D If he had a path to walk on, he would appear like in the other world exploit: Server giving you XYZ location for it that should be on ground level, but on your client there's no ground, so he falls and gets instantly back up the moment the server gives you a new XYZ location for him. :D If you succeed to target exactly this guy from the ground level on top, any target abilities will give you line of sight error, since the ground is actually losing, but any AOE will pull him back up. (most likely) :)
You can also go using same method fly to Violet Tower in old dalaran and access Archmage Vargoths Hideout, which is only otherwise accessable with quest.
Nice stuff! It's been a while since I went around trying to break stuff... Assuming the old Elixir of Giant Growth trick still works, it can probably be used to break out of a bunch of Legion content. I'll have to try that! I just return to the game after a year off, so lots of instance and stuff. I guess the only downside with Legion content is that it's all new, there's no opportunity to explore really ancient versions of zones for example.
Giant growth does still work and in fact it is a bit easier. The ancient zones still exist partially in old instances-and there's always the classic revamp (though that's a while away).
The NPC you found underneath stratholme is the NPC used in the legendary quest Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian, after you got your 40 splinters for the shaft you need to do a follow up quest, which takes you to Stratholme classic, that NPC appears and then transforms into a dreadlord and becomes attackable. This was all in Vanila WoW.
Mage used to be the king of exploration because of blink but lately you cannot blink through most walls. It seems like now DH is the best choice because of special talents/abilities. I am really surprised blizzard hasn't fixed it yet, maybe they don't know how? not sure.
They made a conscious decision to have a class with gamebreaking movement abilities so I don't think they will fix it. I hold back a lot of stuff from public view to protect dh's from nerfs. Some it would blow your mind.
Nice vid do you know about night elf tower on the shore behind the stratholme you can get there if you get trough the gate from wich goes trash mobs for final boss when you are in outversion when you see "original naxx"
The NPC beneath Stratholme is the one that announces when a soul crystal is dispelled. You can see the blob with the dialog as if someone was talking through the floor, so i assume it's that one
-The NPC under Stratholme is the one that yells everytime you clear one of the Zigurats. That is his function. -In vanilla, Diremaul was conected. It was pretty common to run from West to North tru the library, but they sealed the gate that is in the North instance, in the dog pit. That entrance used to be the fast acces to the library to turn in arcanums and other quests. In vanilla they used to make dungeons as a whole entity. Scarlet Monastery was gonna be one single thing till they chopped it into 4 pieces. Black Rock Spire was one single dungeon all the way tru cata. Maraudon is a single dungeon with 3 entrances... it just was the way they designed things back then.
8:58 I did it not from easter plague to ghost lands but from ghost lands to easter palgue and disconnected like U and fine myself in the Netherstorm...
There is a zone in the scarlet monastery dungeon (Scarlet Halls) exactly where the guards stop you until you kill the guy with the dogs, if you double jump with your DH in the corner of the door you will fall into another empty zone like those you showing. (Sorry english is not my main language). I found it just now after watching your video lol, what a coincidense.
Very nice-I tried very hard to get out of there and even when I was following other youtubers strategies I could not break out. I think I'll try this out today, thanks for the tip.
Yeah when I made this they nerfed demonic portal. For some reason, possibly carelessness, they un-nerfed it. You can climb pretty much anything in-world if you are patient.
To expand on your ghostlands portal video, you can do it from the ghostlands side as well. I've got a video up of that. All you have to do it go over by Zul'Aman and wall hop.
Cracked radinax control gem. You'll see on the ah every so often for a few hundred gold, has 3 charges and lasts around twenty seconds. If you watch my dh video you'll see it has MANY uses.
@Archvaldor have you tried keeping a buff, that is supposed to only last in a certain zone, anywhere? MoP's Timeless Isle has some really strong buffs that you receive for clicking on the time-lost shrines, which are spread around the isle. The buffs themselves last for an hour, it would be really OP if you could have them with you in a dungeon or so.
Unfortunately, If that were possible, the game would literally be broken or unplayable. It isn't just TI-though I can see you like those buffs, they were a lot of fun when it was current content. There are buffs which would literally allow you to one-shot anything in the game. The closest I ever came to taking a buff out of zone was with the frost mage icicles exploit-that basically stores up damage from a frostbolt in a icicle above your head. You can actually still use that one to some extent in-world though it doesn't work in dungeons. I'm constantly searching for a new method but Blizzard seemed to have learned their lesson on this.
I remeber back in Wrath i found out that if you blink as a mage underwater you can go thro invisible wall (might be fixed by now) i used this in old hillsbrad to do some exploration. Azurelode mine hade the general chat and zone music of dragonsbligt i found that very funny 😊
My graphics are always at 1 (due to pre-loading issue) when I'm not filming. There is a console command that is supposed to help but I can't remember what it is.
i found a serious bug in wow where i could get behind stone talon mountains in vanilla, i reported the bug and got banned from wow for a week xD thanks jizzard!
Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks I think he's talking about in the old days. A place I went many times. Guild meetings even after summoning people. Now, after Cata, it's all been fleshed out.
That's not an exploit, it is just what happens when you go into the escape from durnholde instance. You get changed into a vanilla alliance race-either human, dwarf or gnome. You are the same class you normally are. You can preserve the look for 10 minutes outside the instance with al-li's skymirror.
This is all really nice and a lot of effort has been made.But don't skip bosses via jumping through the walls.People got permabanned for that in Ahn Qiraj.Just a precaution.
What happened in Ahn Qiraj was pretty extreme. A raid team basically hacked the game and removed the floor so they could skip over an hour of trash and go straight to the end boss. Ahn Qiraj was then current content. This is quite different from skipping bosses in legacy content using loopholes created by Blizzard, they must know it goes on (the chain skip in BC went viral on youtube for example) and don't seem to care. I generally draw the line at stuff which changes the game using a third party tool-mainly because it is too "easy". I prefer to play the game by Blizzard's rules including any loopholes they may inadvertently leave in the game. It is the difference between playing hole-card at blackjack and switching in a cold deck.
LOL got so many comments about that. It is really easy to do it with a skymirror, just focus a dwarf as dh (or any other non-dh race). Don't think it will ever become official though, the aerodynamics don't stack up.
@@archvaldor Oh comeon, dwarf DH is the best race class combo after tauren rogue, haha No but really, the aerodynamics COULD match up if their hair and beard didn't flow so fabolously through the air However, lorewise, dwarf DH is impossible, and it's even more likely they get a class turning them earthen rather than demonic
Because escape from durnholde is set in the past some races don't fit that place and time so you get automatically get changed into an alliance race from that period-human, dwarf or gnome. This causes some really strange effects. There's a really fascinating effect that occurs with a two-seater mount, its hysterical.
Sorry I have a juvenile mind. This is a question probably better answered at ownedcore by professional botters. My understanding is that public purchase software has been heavily cracked down on atm to the extent that only the hardcore capable of writing their own code are persisting.
It is not dumb, it isn't obvious. In the "Escape from Durnhole" dungeon you are meant to be travelling back in time, to when many of the player races such as my blood elf didn't exist in the eastern kingdoms, so you get turned into either a human, a gnome or a dwarf (it is random).
This is an infinite dragonflight dungeon so its back time....elves didn't exist in azeroth so you get transformed into one of the other humanoid races.
I haven't played WoW since TBC and these exploration videos are still absolutely fascinating to me. They add another layer of mythicism to this legendary world.
its really cool how you directly credit people throughout the video where as most people would just say "i found this somewhere else". this was a really interesting video im glad i decided to watch it!
Thanks, that's very perceptive of you to notice:)
the npc under Stratholme calls out when a crystal has been destroyed during the first phase of service entrance
Ah, of course. Thanks for the correction.
I can't believe that's where he is. Amazing! Always tried to find him by watching where the yells came from
I always thought that was Baron lol
My favorite is your method to Ghostland, it's a method I did not know about flightpath, and a cool way !

Gotta love when I refresh my sub box and see a dose of Archvaldor.
Always a pleasure!
I love it when people compare me to a dubious narcotic:)
If you use an inky Black potion it gets rid of ALL fog
Charrrrrrrrrrrrrge
Thank you SO much for sharing that, I spent 3 hours exploring in that fog n seeing its mysteries
I love watching these all the way through because I get a kick out of the funny comments at the end..
Awesome Video! As always! I've always been very interested in these kinds of Glithcy Exploration Videos, a Video with 10 secret Locations and also easy insturctions on how to get there?

Great video, some cool new things for me to check out!! And a shout-out, wow
Enjoyed this greatly, Archvaldor. Thanks!
Shiekrunner is sick, I saw him doing the stratholme strat and its absolutely insane. Dude doesn't get enough credit.
Yeah it saddens me someone that talented doesn't have 100K subs. His work can be used for so many things-exploration, gold-making, mount-farming, mythic etc. It must be so disheartening for him to churn out masterpieces and see comments about how people don't like his background music or some nonsense.
his aq skips are crazy too
just stumbled accross your channel today. i love the content!!
Ty mate:).
8:56 you went full russian there
Didn't I mention the whisky?
Instant subbed after I watched this video of yours. Very interesting content and nice explanation of it. A cup of coffee and a video like this, great way to start the day. Keep it up :)
Oh thanks mate, that's exactly what I used to do and why I got into this:)
I think the Thuzadin Acolyte you are talking about @18:00 is the NPC that yells out when you have cleared one of the three ziggurats.
Also, I saw the yell chatbox come from underneath the instance.
Love this stuff, keep it up! -Patron
I know mate, I love you all, ty.
Awesome video man, thanks for atleast crediting me unlike heelvsbabyface.. :)

Excellent as always :)
18:05 He's only there to yell voice-lines after killing the acolytes in the ziggurats during the stratholme instance
blizzard - you can't get past the barriers etc
archvaldors - hold my beer
"The black temple is relatively easy to break out of" should have told Illidan that lol
Illidan was the lord of black temple that was his crib yo
yeah, well I accidentally pressed shadow step one the bridge dude in UBRS and got to check out LBRS looking basically exactly the same as ever. Leet exploits 😎 but seriously enjoy your videos, always fun to watch.
You can see through fog by using the void totem toy. Cool vid :)
The Thuzadin Acolyte is actually the one who /yells every time you down a ziggurat in Service Entrance Stratholme. They put him down there so that he's audible wherever you are in the instance.

Used to be able to get under Dalaran by using a mammoth mount under the bridge in the Violet Hold courtyardm but alas, it does not work. Also used to be able to glitch under SW by jumping into the wall off the one torch by the old AH
The Violet Hold thing still works, I did it a few months back, but due to terrain changes its a bit fiddly once you've glitched.
Amazing video as well :)
Ty mate:)

i once glitched myself outside of zul gurub the old raid instance, was pretty cool back in the old days when you could wallclimb everything
great video, this is amazing work congrats and thanks for sharing! i've always wanted to get to the emerald dream , i know there has been a way from inside one mop instance and it's probably still possible but that's like the holy grail of exploration for me (you should still be able to get under deadmines with a goblin glider unless they fixed that , pretty cool there)

This is a really old footage I made in 2012. I tried to reproduce this on OFFICIAL live server in 2013 but realized that it's impossible.
Notes (READ BEFORE WATCHING):
1) This is UNOFFICIAL LIVE server where I didn't have any GM abilities.
2) On official server you can't jump down to the flying rock to bypass the invisible wall as I did at 0:27. The server will kill you instantly even after shaman's reincarnation.
3) On official server you can't fly through the blue wall (as far as I know) as I did at 2:24.
4) On official server the fatigue will kill you way faster and you can't just heal up yourself as shown from 3:55.
The text at 2:09 - "Requires: slowfall 2.5 minutes, flymount 310% or u can try 280% + paladin's aura".
The main goal is to reach the water surface (3:55) before your character falls down to coordinate Z < -500 where I died and got ported to the graveyard.
Draenei's starting zone is placed quite similar: you need to travel from the lower right corner of the Outland but the distance you need to fly is more than 2 times longer, so you can do this on the private server only with GM speed.
PS: UA-cam automatically made timelinks to this video. It's kinda weird.
Thanks great video great post. You can actually reproduce this on live currently with the antorus bug (if it hasn't been fixed yet). I would have done it myself but I don't raid seriously and can't get access to the relevant exploit. See ownedcore for details.
bet it is jumping over the gap at start, tagging one pack and letting it aggro the whole thing.
awesome video.always wondered where was that guy yelling from in stratholm.
Now I didn't think of that. Hmmmmmm. Did you ever do that with hellfire citadel?, a lot of fun.
18:12 reason for that is, that the NPC was spawned just a liiiiiiiiittle bit under ground level, so he falls every time he's loaded. :D If he had a path to walk on, he would appear like in the other world exploit: Server giving you XYZ location for it that should be on ground level, but on your client there's no ground, so he falls and gets instantly back up the moment the server gives you a new XYZ location for him. :D If you succeed to target exactly this guy from the ground level on top, any target abilities will give you line of sight error, since the ground is actually losing, but any AOE will pull him back up. (most likely) :)
no sorry he's meant to be there to notify the player their progress in the dungeon
You can also go using same method fly to Violet Tower in old dalaran and access Archmage Vargoths Hideout, which is only otherwise accessable with quest.
*Archivaldor uploads a 20 minute video*
Me: Oh, this should be GOOD! *grabs a a snack and a cup of tea*
Ooh, tea. And biscuits.
Nice stuff! It's been a while since I went around trying to break stuff... Assuming the old Elixir of Giant Growth trick still works, it can probably be used to break out of a bunch of Legion content. I'll have to try that! I just return to the game after a year off, so lots of instance and stuff. I guess the only downside with Legion content is that it's all new, there's no opportunity to explore really ancient versions of zones for example.
Giant growth does still work and in fact it is a bit easier. The ancient zones still exist partially in old instances-and there's always the classic revamp (though that's a while away).
The NPC you found underneath stratholme is the NPC used in the legendary quest Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian, after you got your 40 splinters for the shaft you need to do a follow up quest, which takes you to Stratholme classic, that NPC appears and then transforms into a dreadlord and becomes attackable. This was all in Vanila WoW.
New video hell yea!
You are very welcome.
Mage used to be the king of exploration because of blink but lately you cannot blink through most walls. It seems like now DH is the best choice because of special talents/abilities. I am really surprised blizzard hasn't fixed it yet, maybe they don't know how? not sure.
They made a conscious decision to have a class with gamebreaking movement abilities so I don't think they will fix it. I hold back a lot of stuff from public view to protect dh's from nerfs. Some it would blow your mind.
i can imagine. just seeing how you can climb mountains that other classes cannot is insane.
9:43 you can also glitch to that place using uninstanced stratholme
The NPC at 18:16 is the one who yells when you kill a Ziggurat Boss.
Nice vid do you know about night elf tower on the shore behind the stratholme you can get there if you get trough the gate from wich goes trash mobs for final boss when you are in outversion when you see "original naxx"
The NPC beneath Stratholme is the one that announces when a soul crystal is dispelled. You can see the blob with the dialog as if someone was talking through the floor, so i assume it's that one
Try heroic leap in Gundrak. You often just fall through the floor
What is that "glider" in 8:30 ? I've never seen it
Cracked radinax control gem. Can buy off ah for a few hundred gold, has 3 charges.
-The NPC under Stratholme is the one that yells everytime you clear one of the Zigurats. That is his function.
-In vanilla, Diremaul was conected. It was pretty common to run from West to North tru the library, but they sealed the gate that is in the North instance, in the dog pit. That entrance used to be the fast acces to the library to turn in arcanums and other quests. In vanilla they used to make dungeons as a whole entity. Scarlet Monastery was gonna be one single thing till they chopped it into 4 pieces. Black Rock Spire was one single dungeon all the way tru cata. Maraudon is a single dungeon with 3 entrances... it just was the way they designed things back then.
8:58 I did it not from easter plague to ghost lands but from ghost lands to easter palgue and disconnected like U and fine myself in the Netherstorm...
The NPC in stratholme is the one that yells when you kill all the mobs in certain buildings iirc.
There is a zone in the scarlet monastery dungeon (Scarlet Halls) exactly where the guards stop you until you kill the guy with the dogs, if you double jump with your DH in the corner of the door you will fall into another empty zone like those you showing. (Sorry english is not my main language). I found it just now after watching your video lol, what a coincidense.
Very nice-I tried very hard to get out of there and even when I was following other youtubers strategies I could not break out. I think I'll try this out today, thanks for the tip.
I just scaled the mountains in ghost lands with warlock demonic portal
Yeah when I made this they nerfed demonic portal. For some reason, possibly carelessness, they un-nerfed it. You can climb pretty much anything in-world if you are patient.
To expand on your ghostlands portal video, you can do it from the ghostlands side as well. I've got a video up of that. All you have to do it go over by Zul'Aman and wall hop.
I REALLY need to work on my wall hopping.
Its super easy once you get the hang of it, but it took me a really long time to get used to the new terrain system
Yah, its on my bucket list, I've seen some amazing videos by Dovah and Madori. Btw loved your "dupe" video:)
Madori is for sure better than I'll ever be, the guy is amazing. And thanks haha
To get rid of that fog, simply use the inky black potion. (For the timetravel dungeons that minimize your vision.)
thanks for the share i like this a lot even when i play on wotlk servers :D
Germanssuchti same, will try get under dalaran later
Is the mount your demon hunter was riding on inside the demon hunting starting area some kind of quest item/bug? i haven't seen it before.
cracked radinax control gem - the item which makes the exploration possible.
Hi Archvaldor
Hey:)
you could do the dal areana back in wrath by getting a vial and getting the fire fly then mount a mammoth on top of the pvp vendor hut and jumping
what is that thing you're riding at 8:16 ?
Cracked radinax control gem. You'll see on the ah every so often for a few hundred gold, has 3 charges and lasts around twenty seconds. If you watch my dh video you'll see it has MANY uses.
Gotcha, thanks!
Damnit! Thought it was a monut, that would’ve been awesome
Pretty sure that NPC under stratholm is the one that yells when you clear the ziggurats in undead side
@Archvaldor have you tried keeping a buff, that is supposed to only last in a certain zone, anywhere? MoP's Timeless Isle has some really strong buffs that you receive for clicking on the time-lost shrines, which are spread around the isle. The buffs themselves last for an hour, it would be really OP if you could have them with you in a dungeon or so.
Unfortunately, If that were possible, the game would literally be broken or unplayable. It isn't just TI-though I can see you like those buffs, they were a lot of fun when it was current content. There are buffs which would literally allow you to one-shot anything in the game. The closest I ever came to taking a buff out of zone was with the frost mage icicles exploit-that basically stores up damage from a frostbolt in a icicle above your head. You can actually still use that one to some extent in-world though it doesn't work in dungeons. I'm constantly searching for a new method but Blizzard seemed to have learned their lesson on this.
I remeber back in Wrath i found out that if you blink as a mage underwater you can go thro invisible wall (might be fixed by now) i used this in old hillsbrad to do some exploration.
Azurelode mine hade the general chat and zone music of dragonsbligt i found that very funny 😊
just wanna note u can enter that ghostlands by heroic leap climbing the mountains aswell :)
What server are you on? as i know the guild @ the end of the video, is it the same server?
Is the last fact good for gold farming because of the Paladin hidden artifact skin quest that needs the two books ?
raids inside dungeons
THUGFRESH continents inside raids
inception noise
Try putting graphics on 1 to drop the fog?
My graphics are always at 1 (due to pre-loading issue) when I'm not filming. There is a console command that is supposed to help but I can't remember what it is.
Archvaldor, you somewhat sound like Illidan. Dunno if anyone else mentioned it.
Ty, that's a wonderful compliment.
Any place with fog can be bypassed with the dark moon nighttime potion thing
i found a serious bug in wow where i could get behind stone talon mountains in vanilla, i reported the bug and got banned from wow for a week xD thanks jizzard!
Really? Could you tell us a bit more? I think there's a good chance of getting you unbanned if you were just exploring.
Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks I think he's talking about in the old days. A place I went many times. Guild meetings even after summoning people. Now, after Cata, it's all been fleshed out.
I was here early!
8:55 difficilt? :D
Yeah, it was very frustrating trying to develop that glitch.
Ive been using warlock's demonic gateway to bypass walls with objects going through them
Interesting-I remember trying that and getting pathing errors everywhere. Has something changed?
It doesn't have a 100% success chance by any means but I have managed to get it to work in some places
I've managed to bypass invisible walls in all the invasion points that have them except for sangua, cannot get it to work there for some reason
Maybe the guy under Stratholme is the same guy who speaks after disabling a ziggurat. The speech bubble appears to come from underground.
how the heck are you a dwarf demon hunter?
Magic.
That's not an exploit, it is just what happens when you go into the escape from durnholde instance. You get changed into a vanilla alliance race-either human, dwarf or gnome. You are the same class you normally are. You can preserve the look for 10 minutes outside the instance with al-li's skymirror.
Good i wasn't the only one to have caught that
do you play on bronzebeard eu?
not exactly, aerie-peak, we got merged with bronzebeard.
lol i know to well as i play on bronzebeard i thought i recognised the guild is why i asked will keep an eye out in the world for you guys :)
theres another way to glitch to the ghostlands via ontop of the stratholme instance
Thought I was having a stroke at 8:54 lol
I mispronounce stuff all the time, not sure why people picked up on that one.
Oh wow didn't expect a reaction and so quick too! It's allright man me too just thought it sounded funny :)
Great video though
This is all really nice and a lot of effort has been made.But don't skip bosses via jumping through the walls.People got permabanned for that in Ahn Qiraj.Just a precaution.
What happened in Ahn Qiraj was pretty extreme. A raid team basically hacked the game and removed the floor so they could skip over an hour of trash and go straight to the end boss. Ahn Qiraj was then current content. This is quite different from skipping bosses in legacy content using loopholes created by Blizzard, they must know it goes on (the chain skip in BC went viral on youtube for example) and don't seem to care.
I generally draw the line at stuff which changes the game using a third party tool-mainly because it is too "easy". I prefer to play the game by Blizzard's rules including any loopholes they may inadvertently leave in the game. It is the difference between playing hole-card at blackjack and switching in a cold deck.
Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks Yeah you are right.
Dwarf demon hunter looks great
LOL got so many comments about that. It is really easy to do it with a skymirror, just focus a dwarf as dh (or any other non-dh race). Don't think it will ever become official though, the aerodynamics don't stack up.
@@archvaldor Oh comeon, dwarf DH is the best race class combo after tauren rogue, haha
No but really, the aerodynamics COULD match up if their hair and beard didn't flow so fabolously through the air
However, lorewise, dwarf DH is impossible, and it's even more likely they get a class turning them earthen rather than demonic
That npc might be the announcer for when you destroy the zigs in service entrance.
just discovered ur channel.. you should use ur voice to ur power dude, you would be great at voice acting
I didnt knew Ron Swanson did explorations
Dwarf demon hunter
To the npc under stratholme, i guess its the one, who always yells something when a slaughterhouse is cleared
You can heroic leap into Ghostlands.
how ur playing a dwarf dh ?
Because escape from durnholde is set in the past some races don't fit that place and time so you get automatically get changed into an alliance race from that period-human, dwarf or gnome. This causes some really strange effects. There's a really fascinating effect that occurs with a two-seater mount, its hysterical.
8:55 Diffulquilt?
Have you.. Figured how to get back into the old wings of DM!?
If you look at Datguycry's video in the description above you'll see a DH method.
Archvaldor, how many times have you been banned? I'm really curious lol
twice, 2 six month bans one of which is drawing to a close.
@@archvaldor Is it possible to get banned for exploring like you do? I'm curious.
What’s the best botting software for wow atm
Oi Mate this is a family joint.
Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks got to love auto correct
Sorry I have a juvenile mind. This is a question probably better answered at ownedcore by professional botters. My understanding is that public purchase software has been heavily cracked down on atm to the extent that only the hardcore capable of writing their own code are persisting.
I feel dumb to ask but how is he a dwarf deamon hunter
It is not dumb, it isn't obvious. In the "Escape from Durnhole" dungeon you are meant to be travelling back in time, to when many of the player races such as my blood elf didn't exist in the eastern kingdoms, so you get turned into either a human, a gnome or a dwarf (it is random).
Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks ohhhh well that makes sense
Maybe first...
U win! Have a cookie:)
Yes. Thank you. :D
Wait... a Dwarfen Damonhunter? How?
This is an infinite dragonflight dungeon so its back time....elves didn't exist in azeroth so you get transformed into one of the other humanoid races.
