There's a lot of creepy stuff in WoW... Everything from the Goldshire children, human faces on gnoll tents, to King Varian's crazy obsession with statues! However, where there's a lot of creepy Easter Eggs and trinkets to find, there's also a lot of just down-right creepy places that I wanted to discuss. I know I didn't release a Halloween machinima this year - which I did promise to do - so I guess you could say this is my make up for that lost opportunity. I hope you all enjoy and please, be merciful. This is my 2nd ever list, so I'm very eager to hear what you all thought of it. Hopefully in this video I can introduce you to some places, as well as some lore, that maybe you weren't aware of.
If you liked the video, feel free to give it a like and maybe even subscribe. I'll be sure to do more in the future and I'll be watching very carefully for suggestions for future countdowns. Thanks everyone for your warm encouragement so far! :)

True story: I wanted an undead rogue, but I was scared of the undead starting zone, so I made a blood elf rogue instead
Hahah the music is scary
Haha weak noob
Naxxramas in the construct quarter was scary as hell. If you don't kill Thaddius, children's screams echo throughout, say "pleeeeease", "stop, make it stop", "help, save me", and "please, noooo." Then he thanks you for killing him. How Naxx didn't make the list is mystifying. Naxx and Karazhan are scary places. God I wish they'd bring raids like that again. Atmospheric instances are a rarity since Cata.
First time me and my guild ran through that... damn.. barely anyone spoke at all when we heard the screams.. When we noticed it stopped with his death we were relieved that we saved all those souls bound by flesh.
Is it still like that now, or do you think it would have been updated with legion?
Sable Nuala it's still there. if you turn your music down and the ambience up you hear it 100%.
Awesome thanks, I've been a few times since I replied last but I've never heard it. I'll fiddle around with my audio settings next time
Sable Nuala no worries :) I was running Naxx earlier today for the rogue tier set and I normally have wow's music low or muted with my volume up mad high. it's definitely still there. gave me a heart attack too because I'd forgotten about it.
Vashj'ir is super uncomfortable for me. when i saw the giant whale for the first time i left and leveled elsewhere.
metawyvern ocean is spooky
metawyvern me too
which is a shame because its a pretty looking place
i cant swim so i felt scared i felt like i couldnt breathe so i hs myself and went to lvl in twilight highlands
Add the odd things The Puzzlebox says about the ocean the Dead fish skeleton of the coast of Vash'jir and the ore there that has a Kill wall around it....
I'm surprised you didn't add the throne room in the Ruins of Lordaeron. In there you can hear the whispers of Arthas, his father, and even the bells that used to toll right before Arthas destroyed the kingdom. As soon as you walk into the area with the bells you can start to hear them if you turn the ambiance up high enough, then as soon as you enter the throne room you hear the cinematic between Arthas and his Father right when he killed him. You can also hear voices at the kings tomb, don't remember what is said there though. I found that to be the creepiest and most amazing spot in the game.
yep, my favorite for sure
***** Yeah I love the Old Gods and the creepy shit they say.
"What are you doing my son?" "Succeeding you!"
Oml that was really creepy! Im a little suprised it wasnt mentioned but i guess there are just so many creepy places that couldnt have been fit into the video lol
Canayedian Sweetie Well its not a very well known place. Usually you wouldn't stumble across this. In order to find it you need to turn your ambiance on almost full blast and turn sounds and music down to basically 0 and then stand in the mentioned areas for it to trigger. And yeah, there are no shortages of creepy places in WoW xD
I was expecting Goldshire on an RP server for #1 TBH.
True...
Ha ha
I legit have fantasies about trolling about gold shire on my nasty little naked gnome hehehe... Or perhaps I should create a horde character, min/max the shit out of it, and gank tf out of goldshire... the possibilities...
Fun Fact : That Troll that you see in Nagrand who is claimed to be a cannibal is seen in WoD again, in Nagrand. Apparently She killed an Orc's Mate by draining her life and continued to do this process since then. Once we damage her enough the Orc She was disguising as turns into that exact Troll, and get's her coming to her. Though She's likely still alive on our Outlands.
Yeah suspected as much that they would be the same.
ahhh, vashjir. at first it looked so pretty... but then you got further and it got darker... and i got more uncomfortable. that particular area wasn't so bad for me, but when the I was looking at the endless blackness of the sea at the edge of the zone, that freaked me out...
turning around to see the whale shark right behind me didn't help either -.-
xD
and just a note that the puzzle box of yogg-saron that hinted you to go to the western rift of the vashjir and then you swim far enough to find a pearl in a dragons skeleton and then you die... not the end yet. then you spawn yourself in the westfall graveyard and try to run to vashjir and die and then you spawn in to different graveyard. there's a video about it on youtube better that you check it out yourself O.o
At least the whale shark isn't hostile, I bumped into a great big bloody snake monster down in Vash'jr when leaving one of the questing hubs, needless to say it was hostile... and painful
***** The Whale Shark is hostile....he just doesn't seem to be because he's huge and you have to be touching him to be aggroed.
As long as you didn't touch the butt you are fine.
Can't watch the video, too frightened.
~Hush little darling, don't say a word... Mommy's gonna buy you a mockingbird...~
Nixxiom Machinima I'm pretty sure Mockingbird isnt the right thing for him, there might be blood.
(huehue Hunger games reference)
2spooky4me.
3 spo1ky 5 me
Mooclucking, IIspooky5weu.
Am I the only one that finds Darkmoon Fair really creepy? I mean it has the perfect ambiance to be a haunted circus place. And when you ride one thing in there. You get a fucking creepy looking passive with a creepy icon.
All those yellow eyes are eerily similar to C'Thun. There's also an undead woman out in the woods, named Rona Greenteeth, who sells various food items cooked from the flesh of the playable races.
Couple that with the Darkmoon Rabbit and the countless ghosts (only visible if you are a ghost yourself), and you've got yourself one helluva creepy place.
Simon Hellqvist Plus, the second cave that's hidden under a boat wreck. It used to be filled with nothing but creepy ambiance. But now it's filled with a bunch of Erinys. And I'm pretty sure they're based off of wrath angels from Greek mythology.
Isabel Wenzel Oh yeah, I forgot about those.
What's even creepier though, is the quest text for the quest involving them. I mean, Chester was creepy as hell before, but after doing that quest for the toy I think I'm going to have nightmares about him.
Simon Hellqvist lol
Ahead of You, Down the Path
A Majestic, Magical Faire!
Ignore the Darkened, Eerie Woods
Ignore the Eyes That Blink and Stare
Fun & Games & Wondrous Sights!
Music & Fireworks to Light Up the Night!
Do Not Stop! You're Nearly There!
Behold, My Friend: THE DARKMOON FAIRE!
I was really hoping to see pyrewood village in your list (it's the village next to shadowfang keep). Back in vanilla the human NPCs that lived there all turned into worgen after 9 p.m. or so and didn't change back until the brake of dawn. That was kinda spooky!
the old worgen models looked rlly creepy
Sons of arugon were tough as nails
No.1 for me is without doubt Princess Poobah, her island and her misplaced sense of enttlement. Brings back terrifying memories of conceited ex-girlfriends.
I laughed so hard at this...sorry
Princess Poo
same lmao
Kharazan Crypts has no lore? The crypts existed to symbolize Sargeras' influence over Medivh, all those bodies are the victims of Sargeras' torment and also to express Medivh's twisted personality. If you read The Last Guardian, Medivh had many apprentices, none of them survived except Khadgar. That is because Medivh had them all slain and put them down in the crypt.
one of the scariest places for me is
goldshire on moonguard
I gotta say man, I haven't been on wow in a while due to computer issues, but I'm bout to get a new one because of your videos. they are so true and funny and I'm addicted. KEEP IT UP MAN PLEASE
For me, a truly creepy moment happened not where, but when during the questing in Zul'Dark. At this point I had finally started really paying attention to the quests and lore as well as started giving my character his own personalty (writer, I can't help it). After killing a mob, it dropped an unliving choker which started a long quest chain and had this text. "Gazing upon it overwhelms you with an ominous presence - one that compels you to wear it."
Its not place, or bones, or flesh, or cages, experiments that makes place spooky. Its he music that freaks you out. If blizzard composed scary music to all named places, it'd be shitlike scary.
true
Nena Nena Ikr.
No, its sea
THE FEAR OF DEEP WATER?
I haven't played WoW in a long while, but when leaving the Night Elf starting area and getting on the boat, I was jokingly jumping on the boat when the game lagged and glitched out and I fell off the boat into the black sea. I started having a break down and I was frightened thinking some giant fucking kraken would just pull my character underwater or a jaws inspired shark scene would occur.
+CANT LET YOU DO THAT STARFOX That's horrifying and would have me shitting bricks too.. especially when I've heard rumours that there was supposedly a ?? Elite thresadon that would stop you from swimming from Darkshore to Teldrassil!
There's also other freaky places in the game that remind me of that, particularly Hrothgar's Landing, with AN ACTUAL MOBILE KRAKEN FLYING AND SWIMMING AROUND THE PLACE!
Also one of the scariest points of the game for me, way before the introduction of the Whale Shark, was definitely the ?? Elite 'Big Shirl' orca mob located just off the coast of Howling Fjord in Wrath, that at the time had more HP than the freaking Lich King, and while I eventually found out it was just there for scenery, it still appeared as aggressive and was fucking HUGE!
I hate when board glitches, cant see sea
Notable is that Challe, the troll woman at the orphanage, also shows up in the Draenor version of Nagrand, where it's implied she kills people and steal their life essence and/or appearance to remain young. It's quite disturbing, actually.
Simon Hellqvist good thing we killed her during a quest!
The scariest places in WoW to me are actually places with deep water, like Vashj'ir.
I did really like questing and being in Vashj'ir, it's one of my favorite areas in WoW, but at the same time it's really scary, not only because of the deep water, but also because of all those Whale Sharks and that giant Boss Level Sea Serpent in Shimmering Expanse.
Also, the most uncomfortable places for me in Vashj'ir are the Abyssal Depths, like you said, but also the outside of Darkbreak Cave.
Just, that REALLY deep, BOTTOMLESS ocean that's underneath when you go outside that cave, which is pretty much your base there...EEK!
I am TERRIFIED every time I go in and out of that cave.
I'm also not very comfortable with vortexes in water, like the one in Darkshore.
Maelstrom is also pretty creepy, and every time I'm there, I'm really scared of falling into the water!
I'm also intimidated by the ''Fatigue'' status, so I NEVER go out into the open sea unless it's absolutely necessary for a quest or exploration.
I'm also scared of walking among or near giant monsters, like the giant undeads in Icecrown, the Felreavers in Hellfire Peninsula, the Gronn in Nagrand, the giant guy in Zul'Drak and ESPECIALLY the Whale Sharks in Vashj'ir.
Also, in Outland, I am scared every time I have to fly above the Twisting Nether, especially when I don't have a choice if I want to get around the place, like it is in Netherstorm. I'm just terrified of the thought of falling down into the Twisting Nether. O_O
There was also something else I used to be scared of, but that's because my big brother teased me.
It was in Eastern Plaguelands, on the the coast near Scolomance.
There are all these red thingies lying around, and you can activate them, and an undead will appear.
Well, when I was younger, my big brother teased me and said that if I activated one, a boss level monster would appear, and he said it, JUST when I was about to activate one. I quickly cancelled, and had been afraid of them ever since.
Then a couple of years later, I think, we played together, and he activated one, but nothing appeared, and I asked: ''Didn't you say there would appear a boss level if you activate it??''
And he replied that he had been joking, and if something does appear, it's not boss level.
Man I got mad at him! >:(
I'm also not too comfortable with flying out into the Twisting Nether, away from land, or flying too high up into the sky.
I have this eerie imagination that if I fly too high up into the sky, a boss level dragon or something will appear and kill me.
I like flying, but not too high^^
I was especially afraid of flying too high when Cataclysm got out, since Deathwing began flying around.
I never actually saw him, but did find his flames now and then, and I even spotted his shadow once!
But when I looked up, he was gone. Nowhere to find. I had seen his shadow, but never saw the devil himself, outside of missions.
Oh well, at least I got ''Stood In The Fire'';)
...Yeah, there's a LOT of things in WoW that frighten me^^; But it might be more or less instinctly fear rather than...other fear maybe. I dunno.
+Rubywing4 Holy shit you are exactly like me im also scared by Whale Sharks.
And i never go out into the Ocean i just dont like it when the Fatigue Bar appears im kinda scared of it.
The same thing is in the Twisting Nether i just hate to fly out there im always thinking when i go too
far away from the Zones that some kind of Skull Level Monster is going too kill me ^^
Im kinda scared of Skull Level Mobs or Boss Level Mobs because as i was younger i was sometimes going into High-Level Zones like the Twilight Highlands then i saw these Skull-Level Mobs and attacked them because i didnt know they were like 50 Levels above me that kinde scared me because they were obviously instant killing me. Kinda nice to see there are People that have the same Problems like me.
Sorry if my English Skills are not that good im from Germany ^^
+Thunderfury, blessed blade of the windseeker This is me down to a T! But I can't help but get a strange fascination with it..
EXACTLY THIS!
Now (BFA) there's this quest about going under water to look for the dead bodies of some marines, but the thing is that the bodies are veeeeeeeeeeeeery deep in the ocean and it's actually pretty dark, they only give you a lantern and say that if you have it on too much, a giant shark will appear and kill you c:
I suffer so much doing this quests (I did it without turning on the light)
I used to think I must be the only one who actually fear giant bosses will appear from nowhere. Back in Wrath, I used to be afraid about going at the top of the pillar in Storm Peaks, that if I fly across Twisting Nether (BC) a giant snake will appear from under and eat me. Or in Legion, when I was curious about what will happen if you go to the dark place at the end of the Emerald Nightmare (the only you can see is dark and a debuff taking you damage) at that moment I feared couldn't be able to return to the white place.
Vash'jir did make me feel very uneasy - and still does -, as if something bad was about to happen at any time.
That's exactly why I loved that zone. I was so immersed I actually felt something. I wasn't just doing quests to level up anymore. For a while, I forgot about XP and levels - I was exploring. I was on an adventure.
Very unique list, was happy that you didn't reuse the same places most of these kinds of lists do and I like that you took an appreciation for the story behind the locations and not just appearance. Although even so in my opinion the Karazhan Crypts are pretty neck and neck with Scholomance, and it's not like the Hillsbrad Island has any lore behind it either so I felt you were pretty rough on it for that.
Thanks dude. When I was making this video it was a goal of mine to show some areas that I hadn't seen before on other 'creepy stuff' videos. Some of them came through, but the majority I tried to keep unique. And yeah, I agree with the island comment you made. For me - and I should've said this in the video - I find haunted islands to be really spooky and interesting, which is why I put it so high on the list.
Nixxiom Machinima good job with the video i watched it late at nate and i was creeped out lol
TheSilentStorm Here is another way to find the secrets of WoW: 5b042z37cgwhjp9ml56619wo4x.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=WOWSECRETS
For me everything about (old) Duskwood is a scary experience for a new player back at classic.
While questing on the starting zone with my human rogue (my first character) I noticed that if I crossed that river at the south, the other side was named "the darkened bank" and it had wolves with the scary skull symbol instead of a level.
Much later, when I was done with Westfall and Redridge, I had to continue questing by going to Duskwood. The feeling this area gave me was so unsetling:
1)The sunny sky was replaced by a permanent gloomy night.
2)The music was now mysterious and menacing
3)Apart from the wolves, there were also giant spiders, even nastier wolves that would walk on two feet (worgen) and of course my first encounter with undead creatures. That Stitches in particular gave me a really big scare.
4) the Stalvan questline that involved looking for the trail of a madman while having Banshies that knew my characters name spawn on me to stop me
Karazhan Crips, have a little story, its the "dark side" of Medivh when he was in real Sargeras, alot of people come to Karazhan to talk to Medivh about the things that where happening, and they never come back, and you can see the spirits in the Karazhan Raid, i think that alot of the people there, have their bodys on the Karazhan cripts...
i give you some serious props for not using the same locations that every one of these lists tend to use, it gets rather boring after awhile, and you spice it up in a nice way!
Thanks! :) I'll be sure to do more lists in the future and I'll be sure to keep the spice on them too.
Nixxiom Machinima i think should put naxxmars if i'm spelling it right that place is really creepy.
not because of boss just the undead fight with kel'zuad getting see lich king.
man that was sooooo epic.
Yeah I don't level in Vasjir simply because I've got a weird fear of deep water, doesn't matter wether if it's a video game or real life when I see just sheer blackness below me or in front of me my heart begins to beat faster and I get panicked.
How about the Crazy Cat Lady's House?
Donni is an NPC who lives in Elwynn Forest, and has a lot of cats (she'll even sell you a couple) and she seems friendly, polite, and generally attractive... Until you notice she's carrying a bloody butcher knife.
Course, she may just have that to use against the bandits in the area, but then you read the descriptive text of the cats you can get from her; they're kinda weird. The Cornish Rex cat claims Donni invites it to tea parties where the "tea" is the tears of defeated enemies, while the Bombay Cat's text says Donni plans to inter it with her when she dies.
i honestly thought Naxxramas would be high up on this list and at least mention Thaddius or something. i hated those random screams and whispers you could hear as you go through the chambers. yuck. :(
One thing I noticed about Dawning Woods Catacombs is that I entered the down floor from the tunnel inside the wall and when I followed the whole way inside it I ended up just outside (Reven Hill Cemetery) at a chapel that is also an entance to the catacombs. That's creepy
Challe (The troll orphanage one) is actually also in WoD where it is proven that she kills younger creatures in order to suck out their life essences and stay young forever... as well as take their appearanes (Though it seems she is a troll by default, and why there's a troll in Draenor, i don't know)
***** No? That's not what i'm saying... I'm just saying it's curious she's a troll model, i didn't say they should remake her.
Dainn Greywall reminds me bewitched.
god good Disney movie go check it out.
i put spell on you!!
katie campbell seen it, not a fan of it.. imo it's boring.
Dainn Greywall i like it.
of all the wow top tens you are definitely the best, you use great wording and anticipation and somehow manage to give things i never even heard about despite all the other top tens repeating the same things. nice.
Can you do a list of something like hidden places? Or rarely visited?
That sounds like a great idea for a list. Thank you. :)
Nixxiom Machinima I hope you look around, and not list all the famous "unkown" locations. I.E Dwarf farms, cheels place, etc. etc. I would put The gate of stormwind up on there personally. While it's not hidden, no one just visits the gate. It's a gate, but it has a great view looking out of Elwynn, and I used to RP there a lot.
Chance cooper Yeah, back before Cataclysm I would join a group that was jumping up on the walls.
If you do that, put Agee Tyler's house on the list. It's up above Elwynn/Redridge/Searing Gorge area, with a Gnome and a bunch of sheep, one of which is explosive. Kill the explosive sheep and you get blown backwards (Sometimes off the cliff) and Agee runs out and goes "HEY! What the heck, guy? Of all the slimy, inconsiderate, pigheaded...."
Nixxiom Machinima Too bad you fucked up up and left out some great ones.
From what I have seen, nobody has mentioned this but I'll comment on this.
You said in this video that the Kharazan crypts has no lore, which is not generally true. The Kharazan tower itself was the home of the guardian Medivh and was built beneath a spot where the magic Ley Line of Azeroth meet. However the tower itself actually has two towers, one above ground which we can go and raid and a second directly beneath it like a mirror. However everything in the tower is different from top to bottom, where you might find a kitchen on the top tower you'll probably fine a gore drenched butchery or bone room on the bottom tower. The tower was probably created whenever Sergaras (leader of the Burning Legion, corrupted titan) possessed Medivh and was where Medivh was ultimately beheaded.
Leveling my first character in Duskwood was rough. Did the whole thing, and never went back there ever again. Not even while leveling alts. That place is just nopeville.
*****
I think I'm a little bit more invested in the lore so the atmosphere was pretty uncomfortable. And perhaps I was a bit under leveled for the quests there which made it tougher than usual. And I was a lot younger, we're talking about 2004 here.
I Am The Law i love duskwood best place role play and level up!
This was really cool. For my outros, I try to have my dancing druid in a different place that a lot of players haven't been to or have forgotten about. Definitely going to be using a few of these. Thanks for the inspiration!
Very impressive list! I will definitely check all those places soon :).
I have also another question for you Nixxiom. Can you sometimes make a video where you would show how to make very good fighting scenes? For example how did you do it in Demon Hunter machinima? That is one of my favourites.
Yeah sure, I can do a tutorial on that. I've actually been meaning to do a new tutorial, so you just gave me a subject to do one on. Stay tuned! I'll try and release it in the next week and a half or so. :)
Nixxiom Machinima Awesome. Can't wait to see it :)
I´ve been playing wow since vanilla and I was actually unaware of that hidde laboratory... You need to make more videos like this. I would highly appreciate it! Well done Nixxiom!
5:10, I remember having an RP event there, including the guild I was in, plus another guild. Good times. On another note, if you have the ambient volume turned on in that area, you can hear a faint heart beat.
I find #3 more creepy than #2 or #1. Sometimes a lack of lore can be more scary than an abundance of scary lore. It makes the players' imagination run wild as to why it came to be.
I could never quest in Vashj'ir... Way too scared of it.
Ahn'Quiraj is also a really scary place. It's filled with all sorts of creepy NPCs and it harbors an actual Old God, not just a hint to one. If you keep the sound of the game on, you'll hear all sorts of random whispers of "You will die", "Your friends will betray you" and "Your heart will explode." among others.
All of this at completely random times can really creep you out.
"why is this place scary"
uH W3L its cuzza the LORE man
I think naxx is a bit spooky with the ambient sound where you can hear the souls of women and children screaming in agony
Its Thaddius what makes the screams, cuz he's made from women and children
This inspired me to look up the storys of some of these places xD some of them are really fucked up
You started playing after WoTLK? :)
Macey Brewer heard the scholomence story?
I like the original naxx lore. When anub stabbed his stinger into the woman and injected her with ghoul fluid. Ahe turned in the cage with her husband and ripped him apart. In the lore it talked about how she wailed and moaned in sadness while she was killing him almost like she knew she was doing it but couldnt stop
Once again, I watched a list of yours and I have to say, you did a good job, it shows how simple places get more terrifying as you learn about their lore. So yeah, a good job :)
what about that house (forget the name) where theres 5 children forming a pentagram and chanting at a certain time? thats pretty creepy to me
+Austriker AU Agree
Austriker AU that place isn't creepy. just the event that is happenning (the children)
Thank you been looking for this comment. Thought it would be #1
The small lake inside Karazan with the bodies, upside down on chains is a Chinese Mythology Hell; The Hell of The Upside Down Sinners. Now, Chinese have a lot of hells so it's sometimes hard to keep track but I do recall this one. Not sure if Blizzard got the idea from that mythology or came up with it on their own, though.
The Kingdom of Lordaeron.... such a tragic ending
there’s a place outside the bastion of twilight with a long line of dragons that were hung... and the maelstrom was scary as well there’s something about whirlpools that scare me, very sp00ky
The house in Ewlyn forest! ?! you forgot that demonish childs there, creating the symbol exactly at 12.
I'd like to see an updated version of this, since you can't get into Kara Crypts anymore - which btw was an abandoned raid/dungeon because it was considered "too macabre" for a Rated T game.
for me is it that old god in the water lands ( i did forget the name ) he just creeps me out
I know who you're talking about but I just can't think of it
Yogg-Saron?
no he's in ulduar
kab hes If you're talking about N'zoth then yes that fucker is scary, and the fact that some people have come up with concept art for him doesn't help things at all lol.
The Mistmantle quest used to take you all over between Duskwood, Stormwind, and I think somewhere in Kalimdor. Every time you'd get closer to finishing the quest, an apparition of Mistmantle would appear and give you a curse debuff. It made killing him and finishing the quest all the more rewarding.
you forgot goldshire in a rp realm
Hahahahahahhahahahhahoohohohohohohahahaha
:) haha
I never actually stopped to learn about the lore regarding Scholomance. Now that you shared a bit of the lore, I'm actually intrigued to learn more lore.
Omg so get this... I'm 11 right. And of course I play WoW. So one day I was wondering around, trying to get achievements for finding every place in whatever... You know the level 21 noob that's riding on their little noob mount? Well, that was me! So, riding around on my proud saber, I stumbled upon Knights Hollow and the Unknown Soldier was there. I noticed that he had the dragon frame so I was all like :O OH MY GOD IM SO AWESOME I FOUND A RARE CHARACTER!!!! So yeah I was so proud of myself! He ended up mercilessly slaying my poor Pandaren monk, Kopipanda :(. But now, I'm level 70 and I finally got my revenge >:3
I loved Scholomance. My Tauren warrior got the whole Bone Armor set. I was really proud of it and I loved wearing it back in the day.
I thought he was going to put the Goldshire inn in first place
7:25 - oh man I had completely forgotten about that place. Your video triggered a memory I didn't even know I had saved which made me remember I think I actually took screenshots in high resolution back in the day. I'm going to go look for them.
Goldshire on moonguard is scarier...
Alright.. We're going to be needing more of these lists.
THERE IS LOADS OF LORE BEHIND KARAZAHN CRYPTS
Scholomance was and still is the creepiest place. Back in vanilla if you completed a certain chain of quests you would receive a trinket that would allow you to see the dead
and the entire island was filled with spirits, just going about their daily "lives" not even knowing they were dead. You could actually interact with vendors and stuff and even repair before entering the instance. Also the dungeon itself was the hardest 5 man content available in vanilla. It used to be my favorite dungeon together with Stratholme. The lore was awesome the bosses were awesome everything about it was great. Not to mention it was crucial in getting the exalted rep with the Argent dawn faction.
Nixxiom forggot about trainig dummies in WoD. They kill me every day. And they haunt me every day :C
The WoD training dummies are constructs of Sargeras, meant to collect our souls. Sadly they're not a location, or they'd be number one on this list for sure.
Watched a few of your videos today after they showed up in my suggestions and must say, I've really enjoyed them! You sir, have earned a subscriber!
I LOVED OLD SCHOLO. NEW SCHOLO IS FAIL!!! AND YOU ARE RIGHT---CREEPY!!!
Great video, this took me back to the first character I made on WoW which was an undead and I just loved exploring the undead starting zone. Makes me want to go visit all these locations in the video
Goldshire? Where are the straight dudes cybering all day
I didn't know about most of these places! I love your 'top ten x places' videos because you always show unique places that nobody else talks about!
For me, Western Plaguelands was always one of the scariest places in WoW, all of it, like even roaming around that place is creepy, probably because of the ambience and the unbelievebly amazing soundtrack, either way, great choices :)
Loved that, thought it was very well done, and definitely an improvement over your first list. I'd like to see these lists become a regular thing. :)
I remember the pre-Cata Mistmantle questline. Undoubtedly one of the more terrifying quests I've ever done. I remember thinking to myself, "Man, these journal entries are dark! Whoever this guy is was a real psycho."
And then they changed it in Cataclysm to involve his brother, who turned out to be a Worgen.
Scholomance was my favorite instance before its revamps(I counted the level drop during cataclysm to be a revamp, despite not actually changing the layout and mob placement of the instance) and was highly disappointed with how they changed it so drastically in MoP, making it so much shorter than it once was, getting rid of a lot of the old story elements of Scholomance itself like Kirtonos the Herald, but I can't really blame them for doing so since keeping it the same at level 90 would've made people very reluctant to even do it if it took as much time as it did in vanilla
Yup, I would say Duskwood really was scary for me back in the days. Was walking on the middle of the forest and a spider attacked me out of nowhere.
What about Stratholme? Arthas murdered 100 people in it to prevent them from becoming undead slaves to Mal'Ganis and you can see Naxxramas floating in the distance from the city.
To be honest, my favourite "Scary" place is The Throne Room in Lordaeron. That's not only scary, it has lore, it's creepy and damn.. Is it heart breaking. Thinking that Arthas grew up as a little child to a young man who wanted to defend his people but lost himself in it and murdered his father and now the echoes of that is stuck in there. The memories of that.. It's just.. Amazing
... Holy shit to that cannibal troll orphanage. I remember finding that thing back in the day, but I never imagined that it could be... Like that... I even remember thinking it was kinda cute...
Anyway, Nixx; assuming you DIDN'T put the Kara crypts on at all, what would have taken its place?
first I thought scholomance isn't scary I always went in there with a group wrecked everything, went out. But I didn't know anything about it, after I heard this story I really think that scholomance is messed up Thanks for opening my eyes
The other cool thing about Scholomance is that it's based on an actual place called Scholomance in Transylvanian lore. It's a school that only allows 10 people to attend its classes to become great wizards of black magic under the devil's tutelage and at the end of their run, one of them becomes the devil's assistant while the other nine can roam the earth riding dragons. It's supposed to be a castle on a remote island in a lake of immeasurable depth, hidden deep within the mountain ranges of Transylvania :D

Simon Battye I meant 0:35, I've ruined it now.
Try going to Raven Hill in Duskwood. There's a big house where the worgen NPCs are gathered. Go upstairs into the room with the broken table. If you're low lvl then you'll notice better than if you have a ton of health. Do an aoe spell and just stop and wait. That is super creepy. Go check it out!! Don't tell what happens lol. Just go do it!
10 saddest lore moments in warcraft,
personally seeing tirion's reaction to seeing his son die was like watching the scene in lords of the rings 2 towers, where king Théoden laments at his son's grave by saying "no father should ever have to bury his child." Caverns of Time needs a visual library.
Entire Duskwood is one big diamond. Awesome quests, awesome atmosphere, dark and creepy. That's my favorite location and one of the reasons i like to play Alliance much more then Horde.
I love that the Karazhan Crypts are now going to be used in legion, it was fun and creepy to just run through it and afk there, but i'm really looking forward to it being used :)
Loved the hidden catacombs area under Raven Hill Cemetery. I used to gank there on my orc warlock all the time. I would use my eye of kilrogg to search for victims from the safety of the hidden hallways. The high levels that would come in to root me out could never find me hehe. The large room that is before the room with the break in the wall has a neat feature where the light is nonexistant. So your character disappears into the shadows and turns solid black. If you have glowing eyes it becomes a really cool effect. I have yet to find this lighting effect anywhere else in the game.
I noticed most of the scariest places on Azeroth are located in Duskwood. Come to think of it, when I first started playing WoW back in 2005, all of this completely went over my head, as I was so focused on leveling and moving onto the next area. Now, as I go back almost 10 years later, I realize how creepy of a place Duskwood truly is, and now as I do the quests with new characters, I get the chills.. x)
Oh man, I remember I broke into the Kharazan crypts with some friends back in the first days of WoW. I took a bunch of screenshots and submitted them to be the screenshot of the day. The next day there was a server wide message reminding players "To refrain from entering unfinished areas." All my guild mates laughed, saying I got my very own global server message from Blizzard.
This was a Hell of a top ten list. I really like it. There were some places that I did not know about. I just love the lore behind everything there is in WoW. It is such a fascinating game.
that peak at the Barrens was pretty spooky cuz it's such a contrast with the yellow and peaceful barrens.
The depths of Vashjir get even worse when you look up it's relation to the puzzle box of Jogg Saron and suddenly find yourself in the Barrens. I personally would've added the whole of Deadwind Pass instead of just the crypts. It is full of trees with ghost faces and hanging corpses, an unknown Adrien's camp that still has fire on it, vultures are to be found in every corner and it's a nightmare for arachnophobics and low levels alike. Yet this list is easily the best list of spooky places in WoW I've seen to this date.
i noticed a lot of these were in duskwood and the toturing chamber sent shivers up my spine!
How about the ruins of Gilneas city? If you look closely at the windows, you can see human silhouettes appearing and disappearing, while the window glows an eery blue. It really creeped me out the first time I saw it.
tbh the first time I ever went to Duskwood I was legit scared. Too bad I didnt get to discover a lot those creepy spots because I wanted to get the hell outta there asap
Out of every other creepy places in WoW, the Karazhan Crypts did caught me off guard when I was exploring it for the first time. Don't get me wrong. Its one of my favorite places I enjoy exploring during my free time, but just having a thought of walking around in that place alone and seeing bodies underwater and bones everywhere really does freak you out.
I swear though, as a new player, questing through Silverpine Forest and Duskwood was probably one of the most traumatizing experiences ever. You have two zones with really haunted and creepy settings and undead and rabid animals and then blizzard also added a powerful werewolf elite to one and a powerful abomination to the other. Getting crept up on by either was something of a nightmare and gave me near heart attacks. Personally more so than Duskwood, Silverpine Forest is scarier for the ambience the zone has but they are both close.
you're totally right i remember back in vanilla wow when i was a kid, reading the lore about Scholomance made me have some anxiety and scariness, no doubt the lore behind that dungoen it's brilliant.
just so you're aware, number 9, Knight's Hollow, is a reference to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the 2 statues refers to the Guard. a little surprising blizz would put something like that in the game. pretty awesome.
Good memories with that stalvan quest chain, one of the many little stories I found interesting.
I've always felt that Shadowfang Keep and Razorfen Downs were some of the scariest places in the game. They are somewhat hidden, out of the way, filled with undeath and extremely dark.
I like the original naxx lore. When anub stabbed his stinger into the woman and injected her with ghoul fluid. Ahe turned in the cage with her husband and ripped him apart. In the lore it talked about how she wailed and moaned in sadness while she was killing him almost like she knew she was doing it but couldnt stop
