Fun Fact:Varok Saurfang never eats pork,You know why?Its because the squeals of a pig before slaughter remind him of the screams of the Draenai during the Orc invasion
Spoiler Alert: I found a very creepy Blizzard story within Legion. For the achievement " What a Rip Off" you find out that the taurens that started the quest chain suddenly dissapeared and now there these goblins. Well after some searching in forums and in game. You discover that the taurens were murdered by the goblins who are stealing their stuff to sell in Dalaran. But where are the bodies. If you look in the trees between the camp and zeplin, you will find them on the ground slained. But then the bodies are gone once the chain is completed. I thought this should be on one of your creepy lists.
The creepy kids aren't in Elwynn Forest anymore. However, I went into old Hillsbrad looking for a vendor one day and came across the freaky little things on the edge of the woods there. Also, saw Kel'thuzad as a human, Darian Morgraine pre DK, and Nat Pagle as a teenager 😁
WoW has lots of aesthetically creepy stuff, but the implied rape in Unbroken and the pedophilic obsession of Stalvan Mistmantle have to be the most legitimately disturbing to me. Mistmantle being a direct reference to Humbert Humbert from Lolita, what's especially upsetting about both characters is how charismatic and sympathetic they are written so that the reader almost falls into the trap of overlooking the fact that they are absolute monsters. the draenei-corpse road thing is also pretty disturbing too. I honestly never noticed it. and all the undead/scourge body horror... (torturously sewing people together, yeah that's real PG). okay nevermind, this universe is super disturbing. lol
+Nobbel87 when i was leveling with a friend we saw the fel reaver and we mutually agreed to kill that bitch, and we did. it was never scary or horrible to us
+Nobbel87 omg i'm like super excited and glad you used my photos!!! Mine were the spooky meat ones (Eric 1 and 2) tysm omg :DDDDD you have no idea how much it means to me one of my fave youtubers using one of my screenshots in his video :DDD
You forgot the horror story that took place during mid WotLK. Millions of adventurers making their way to dungeons across Northrend, gathering their friends, stepping into dungeon portals... and finding themselves... still outside the portal. They try again to step through the portal to no avail. They are trapped in an endless loop. Each time they step into the portal a false hope grows even as they are flung back out again. Hope that is constantly shattered by 5 words. *Additional instances cannot be launched.*
You forgot the most terrifying story in world of warcraft, hundreds of years ago a brave Orc warrior went to the war with his army the fight went on for a few days then the Orc simply disappeared, it is believed he disconnected but no... The old gods sent his body to the void where he was tortured and everytime he would be asked "what can you see" all he would answer was "darkness.."
I love all the creepy stuff in wow, but my favorite creepy thing is duskwood, the whole zone. Everything is perfect to me there, the music, the ambiance, those yellow eyes in the bushes and the unknown soldiers grave. Also the other stories, like Blind Mary, Yorgen the worgen, the lich in the catacombs beneath Raven Hill and the Emerald Dream portal in the center. I still love to stay there whenever I feel nostalgic :D
+Amelia I. Duskwook is my favorite creepy zone too. I remember playing at it on a private BC server. There was no flight path from east to west side of the zone. Remember meeting Stitches on the road and run like hell. Good times. :D
+Ilych Bram von Matus (Abe Beelze) Yeah I remember Stitches... ran like hell when I had seen that he was an elite back in the day when I first leveled lol.
I remember during BC, my friend wrote a short story called 'Worgen in the Woods' where a group of kids are lost in Duskwood and are slowly picked off one by one by Worgens. (We were like 10 at the time)
+Amelia I. I also remember Mor'Ladim, came outta no where back in my starter days of WoW and pwned my little weak butt while I was trying to finish a quest. Lol, it scared the hell outta me but I had to laugh soon after.
Joseph Jenkins Jr. I first came acros Mor'Ladim on my shadow priest, it took me 15 minutes to kill him and I had to stand completly still so I don't pull all the mobs in the room that re-spawned. It was awesome! I came down there this year again and helped out some random priest, that made me remember myself and how I wished someone would come down to help me.
Been continuously playing WoW since 2007 when TBC came out and I haven't the tiniest idea the road was made out of bones XD Still staring up at the sky though.
Heya Nobble, was hoping you could possibly make a lore video on the 8 major cities, explaining there history, previous leaders and how they came to be.
You know, speaking of the puzzle box and it's constant reference to this city called, "Ny'alotha" I noticed something. So you know how the Old Gods are basically a reference to Lovecraft's Old Ones? Well I'm assuming Ny'alotha is a reference to Cthulhu's city of Ry'lyeh..which is underwater. Maybe Ny'alotha is beneath the waters of Azeroth?
It's pretty implied it was gang rape...they didn't want to say it flat out. A group of orcs "torturing" draenei while they taunt them and the women scream is as far as they could go in material related to a game with a T rating. Not to mention it's only females and they say it a couple times. Really makes you wonder why people would want to RP such a savage race of genocidal maniacs when you could play an honorable human or a dignified Night Elf or even a noble Tauren. (I know, I know, demon blood...I'm just stirring the pot, sorry).
iJutsu And there it is. They remind me of generic war criminals...like maybe the British who invented concentration camps in the Boer War, or the American soldiers who gang-raped a 14-year-old then killed her and her family in Al-Mahmudiyah Iraq, or German Nazis who tried to exterminate a whole race, or any of the other countless people who have committed war crimes. Real life race doesn't come into it. In the words of George R.R. Martin, "War makes monsters of us all."
Yssie Freeda Soul Agreed. Honestly, I'm not sure why I responded to this jackass in the first place. All it did was give him an opportunity to continue his hate speech.
+Yssie Freeda Soul "Shitty disgusting upright fucked up shithole you call a country" Hang on a second mate that's a bit uncalled for, Germany's arguably the best country to live in in the world, and Germans are some of the nicest, most intelligent, and healthiest people you'll ever meet. Also yeah, Europeans have done a lot of terrible things, but that comes part and parcel with power, ingenuity, intelligence, rivalry, etc. The same virtues that powered colonization, slavery, and such also powered the greatest surge in technological medical and scientific discovery known to mankind. Without Europe, there wouldn't be a concept of modern medicine, no education, no human rights, no United nations, etc. The virtues inherent in Europeans that caused colonization and slavery were inherent in all civilizations throughout history, but the thing other civilizations did not invent were the aforementioned values today taken for granted across the world. I could talk about how the Islamic slave trade made the Atlantic one look like a fucking playground trinket swap, and how African kings were the ones selling their neighboring tribes' people off to the Europeans to start with, and how the Europeans were the only people in history to voluntarily give up their Empires, and then offer continuous aid to the nations affected by their colonies (Which said nations then spend on stupid shit like weapons.) You can thank Europe for the fact you can be at liberty to sit about shitposting on RU-vid while watching a video about World of Warcraft.
There is an old quest pre-cata where you find a grave in Raven Hill which was messed around with. You go back to Darkshire and talk to the Librarian there who gives you the book about the man who was burried there. The book is called "The Story of Morgan Ladimore". Really creepy and sad story. After that you are sent to kill him back at the Raven Hill because he became mindless.
+Mitar Zecevic But isn't the quest the same now? I did it a while ago, and it was just like this if I remember correctly.. But I agree, it was a bit disturbing..
So, I recently discovered that weird and creepy questline, where the horde and the alliance set sail to randomly have war somewhere at sea after they barely saved the world from being destroyed. And then they suddenly discover this huge island that no one ever discovered before for some reason. And on this island there are hundreds of weird looking bear cretures, who want me to solve their problems. And they want to join the horde and alliance although, we unleashed the chaos of an old god, brought war upon their territory and did many more horrific actions. Has anyone else ever done that questline before?
To this day i still tremble and my Heart skips a beat when i hear the sound of the Felreaver. I hated Hellfire Pinnicula and endet up being quit paranoid until i got a flying Mount :D
I really want Blizzard to make a Old God expansion and explain everything about them because personally I think they have the most interesting lore and definitely the most creepiest :) also how many old gods are there because I only know of 4 but there are surely more out there ?
+Ommy CSGO There are creations of the old gods out among the stars. On Azeroth, the known living ones are C'thun, Yogg Saron, and N'zoth. Y'shaarj is dead. We have never killed a single old god, and N'zoth has no true prison like c'thun and yogg. So, yes there are probably more out there. Just not on Azeroth.
+Ommy CSGO Actually i dont think they will because thats the point of lovecraftian beings, not knowing, about that dark old huge evil just below the surface of reality, something so impossible and scary that your mind cant even begin to understand it....so if you explain it...it kinda stops being so intriguing
The recent warcraft books explain them. Watch the most recent nobbel videos, they reveal a crap ton of how the warcraft universet started, what the titans are doing, and how weak the old gods in comparison to the titans are in canon lore =*(. However sargares is now less crazy and more is trying a different strategy to protect the universe.
Ommy CSGO Well if it makes u feel any better, Legion does make a big revelation about the Old Gods. I don't want to spoil it, but in short, we be Lovecraft now.
Isn't Tobias Mistmantle the worgen that sends you on those birds to take down a orc gunship during the worgen quest line? And also make you wait 30 minutes before doing so.
awesome vid! i love watching your vids :D what is the story behind the zoltarian cultists, they are creepy, and damn....what happened to their faces???
When you play through the worgen starting zone, you are actually the one who bites Tobias Mistmantle and turns him into a worgen, as seen in the cinematic (although it only shows him being knocked down, but it's pretty obvious what happened next)
do you guys know ? if you have the puzzel box of yog, and you go to vashirj to a secret place ! there is a hint , " only the fish knows the secret.... GUYS there is a strange are where a BIG pearl with purple sparkle is surrendet By BIG FISH and if you manage to get close to the pearl before fatique kills you. you ge the message "only the fish knows the secrets.... AND then you die.. YOU just die, even if your out of fatiq you jsut die by getting closer to the pearl and in my opinion this was scary as fuck. there is even a video on youtube about it!
+Patrick Jane MADAFACA They are talking about the elevators in certain raids, many people mess up and fall to their death while trying to get on the elevator.
I once went in there as a female to see what would happen. No joke on 2 separate female characters I had the same human female mage ask me if I liked eating cats. It was fucking weird.
I remember doing the Legend of Stalvan questline in Vanilla on my mage. I had to travel to Goldshire, the Eastvale Logging Camp, Moonbrook in Westfall, Lakeshire in the Redridge Mountains, and Stormwind. Every time you got a letter or diary entry for a step, a level 20-something ghost would appear who would curse you with a -10% to all ability scores debuff. My mage could remove it, but my paladin (when I did the quest later) could not. I never made the Lolita connection until very recently when I watched another RU-vidr doing a video about that questline. I did the quest on a priest last month, and it was very much simplified, and every part of the chain is now within Duskwood.
I was reading the coments thinking the clip was over and i hear a Whisper saying 'You betreyed your friends' and in like i aint got no friends to betrey
+Brandon Naylor Maybe it's the official name for the Spirit World? Or since they keep referring to fish, it could have to do with where the Naga disappeared to. Maybe the Naga were pulled towards this place. It could very well be the center of Azeroth, which would be the Old God's prison.
Very interesting stuff with the HP love crafts stories etc I will check them out! :D and I was thinking, with their being unnumbered crimes and the old gods wanting to send us there maybe it could be some hellish place. But I do like all the comments put forward :)
Stalvan's story is reference to the book Lolita (the name of the girl he is in love with, Tilloa, is also anagram of Lolita which is most likely not a coincidence).
=Bread= As she closed her bakery's door, Myra took a step outside before she once again began her daily routine. Times were tough recently, so she wondered if her simple selling phrase of "Fresh bread, baked this very morning" would still be able to get her though. As she walked down the stone path, she looked around at her familiar surroundings. Ironforge, with its impenetrable walls and unbreakable gates housing within a bustling city full of blacksmiths, merchants, adventurers, and others within its unknown halls. Approaching her normal spot, she spied a gnome resting where she normally walked. Looking at him Myra could tell that he was new to the city, with his clothes damp from recently melted snow and the uncertainty of where to go. As she got closer, the gnome noticed her for the first time. "Greetings! My name is Tinkerbolt. I was just wondering if you could tell me where I could eat and find lodgings for my stay here." Smiling politely, Myra replied, "Aye, ye be looking most likely for the inn down the street." She paused, "But just so lucky for ye, I'm a baker by trade, and I have a pretty big guest room. If ye want, I could help ye for only a fraction of what the inn would cost." Looking surprised, the gnome smiled. "That's a wonderful offer ma'am! My goodness, I never thought dwarves in Ironforge would be this friendly! Lead the way please, I would want to put down my pack before I spend the rest of the day exploring Tinker Town!". Nodding, Myra led the gnome back to her bakery, glowing homely from the lit braziers outside. As Tinkerbolt entered, he saw a roaring fire contained within the brick confines of an oven, and an open door with an empty bed and a clean table with a wooden sign "Guest" placed right above the door. Squealing in delight, the gnome dashed inside and quickly put his stuff on the table. As he began to leave the room, Tinkerbolt saw the baker standing in the bakery's entrance. "Ah, gosh miss, I'm sorry... I just realized that I haven't paid you yet, or even asked your name for that matter!" Smiling at the gnome, she simply said, "Oh there is no need to pay right now, ye are going to pay later." A bit confused Tinkerbolt replied, "Um, I'm going to pay later? But I have coin right here... How much do you want?" Approaching the gnome slowly, Myra simply grabbed the gnome by the wrist. "Oh, don't worry bout that, you're going to help me bake the freshest bread." With her smile taking up half her face, the gnome was deeply concerned and began to feel uncomfortable. "Um, what do you mean ma'am? I don't know how to bake." Before he could react, Myra simply grinned even more and smacked him over the head with a rolling pin... As she closed her bakery's door, Myra took a step outside before she once again began her daily routine. After making her way to the busiest part of the Commons she always worked in, Myra Tyrngaarde proclaimed in a loud voice... "Fresh bread... Baked this very morning!"
+KasasTheWarlock Makes me think about the lady from Sweeney Todd... WHICH makes me think of the dead bodies hidden under the floor in the barber's bedroom in Stormwind.
I wouldn't consider the aftermath of Shattrath to be an actual rape scene. Christie Golden wrote in Rise of the Horde (or was it Tides of Darkness?) that the orcs' lust was not for carnal pleasure, but for killing. I can't remember the passage right now, but i would gladly post it. Also, consider the fact that orcish women were also fighting alongside men, so i highly doubt that even under the bloodlust they would consider raping another species whilst having their own females among them
You totally forgot about the story of "The Bride of the Embalmer" (aka Abercrombie) in Duskwood! How you can still hear the heartbeat of his dead wife in Dawning Woods Catacombs! This is the text from the quest: "The Embalmer is a name told in one of our children's stories. He was a kindly alchemist, driven mad by the death of his wife, Eliza. To restore her, he used dark magic to place his own heart within the bosom of his dead spouse. This revived Eliza...but it cursed her with a hunger for human flesh, forcing the Embalmer to keep her buried. His heart is his power. Find his wife's grave, retrieve his heart, and bring it to me while it still beats. Do this and his power will be broken."
+Scamspam Duskwood is just full of creepy stories. I don't think any zone in the game comes close to it, which is why I love the zone so much, it's so unique.
+Scamspam ahhh yess, was just about to write about this one! I met Eliza on my very first questing through Duskwood, and her words "Eliza isss prettttyy" were so sad - I looked into it and LOVED this story! I wonder why they changed it so much, now Abercrmbie has no real reason to be mean, rather than "He's a twisted necromancer".
Love the videos Nobbel! The Children of Goldshire were so creepy for me. In Vanilla I remember making the extremely long trip as a Horde player to try and find and see these creepy kids, I was so fascinated by them. Just one great example of how great WoW is.
I haven't read all of the comments so someone may have already mentioned this, but the puzzle box looks like Clive Barker's puzzle box from "Hellraiser."
I remember when I was just wandering Gold Shire on a pretty new character and I just saw the kids forming a pentagram so I did what anyone would do I followed them. That was a pretty memorable adventure in Gold Shire.
in the throne room, not also u can hear that moment, but if you keep lisening, u can also hear the moment when Medivh warns terenas about the legion :D
