7 Scariest Things In World of Warcraft 

Leveling in Hellfire and hearing the war cry of the Fel Reaver: Ohhh nOOOOOOOOOOO

I loved vashjir, the underwater feel, everything about it Those moments when you look down and see nothing but water Great, horrifying times

Reaching Duskwood first time leveling in vanilla is the most memorable moment of when meeting Stitches, having no idea where he came from or what he is. The scariest part is just seeing that hulking abomination slowly walk up the path from the fog in the distance before seeing the nameplate, and it's easy to stop and get creeped out at that point since you got no mount. It was scary seeing him face against the NPCs supposed to protect the road and them being no match to him. I remember trying to go to the side of the road, against the trees and bushes, hiding from him. I had no idea about his massive aggro range so when I did that and tried to get closer for screenshots, he spooked me by abruptly turning and sprinting towards me, killing me in a few hits. It was in that zone I really felt like I was in an MMO and a fantasy world way bigger than my character at the moment. It turned from scary to awesome when he reached Darkshore and several players as well as NPCs needs to fight him to take him down, giving you this very first feeling of fighting a world boss in a way.

As a warlock The Unseen are great to farm at lvl50 when the grindspots are overcrowded. I also used it for raid prep, when I quickly needed a lot of soulshards. Drops are not too good, but the dumb look in other players faces when you fight air is priceless. I even got reported for cheating once lol

Seeing C'thun's eye going from looking around the room to a focus glare at a player is one of the most scariest things in wow.

The Upside-Down Sinners area is actually accessible since Legion. You can and also have to unlock the crypt and go inside to get a secret mount called Lucid Nightmare.

what about the goldshire kids forming a circle that goes to stormwind and end at a house with haunting music and horror sounds and threats that you will die

son of arugal surely deserves a spot on this list. anyone else agree?

Stitches and upsidedown sinners should be swapped.

Doing the lucid nightmare mount on a character allows access to the crypt as it takes you there

The roar of the Fel Reaver is terrifying, but I can't put it ahead of the battle shriek of Sinistar. Now that was nightmare-inducing.

I would add Thaddius screams in Naxxramas :)!

If Classic turns out to be successful, it would be nice if Blizzard decides to finish some things they left hanging in the game, like the Karazhan Crypts. Then again , all the original Blizzard guys have left the company...

When I first ran across Stitches, I realized that the WoW tips of "stay on the road to avoid enemies" were untrue. From that point on, I suffered immensely by playing by Lord of the Rings rules and "staying OFF the road". It was a huge mind fuck because I always feared giant elite enemies on the road, and many NPC when travelling off road. I really hope someone else can relate to this. lol

i found WotLK Naxx to be pretty spooky due to Thaddius' screams. The echoing "Help me! Save me!", "Please stop...", and wailing "NOOOOO!!" was definitely creepy. It really added to the feeling of dread and the atrocities done to so many innocent people.

to this day I STILL cannot understand the hatred towards that zone and have yet to meet someone who can articulate their displeasure other than "REEEE YOU STUPID!!!" followed by a mouth foaming tantrum seizure on the floor by them lol, that zone was pretty neat and I actually enjoyed it.

Never play WoW but the Whale Shark gives off the same vibe as the Emerald Weapon from Vinal Fantasy VII : A huge underwater monster that you really don't want to bump into.

Who would win: 1. An eldritch nightmare creature that drives gods and kings to madness. 2. One stitchy boi

Vash is by far my most favorite zone ever. It makes me sad that blizz won't do that again. I love it. It was so pretty and ominous.

You can get into the Karazhan Crypts as of legion as long as you do the questline to get the lucid nightmare

Thaddius in Naxxramas always scared the jibblies out of me, especially when in that part of the raid, you could her the screams and wails of anguish of all the people still on some level alive that make him. *jibbly jibbly jibbly*

Hey! i'm just here to tell yall that karazhan crypts can still be acessed on retail all you need to do is to die near the main entrance, the first iron gate, go in as a spirit then you can pass through it, resurrect inside, then there;s the wooden gate Instead of trying to pass the woden gate, there's some kind of a hole with a red, cauldron looking thing that blocks you from droping down thing is, it too only blocks you if you're alive, so find a way to die inside, again I sugest you open the "Help" menu and use "Unstuck", it will kill you, die near the red thing, go inside again as a ghost, PASS the red thing (you will most probably be on a ghost gryphon) then ress, and BAM, you're inside

New Drinking Game: take a shot every time Vaulty says “actually”. I guarantee you’ll be hammered by the end of the video.

The upside-down sinners is a reference to the "Hell of the Upside-Down Sinners," that was mentioned in "Big Trouble in Little China."

I always made it my mission to personally kill the Fel Reaver every time I saw it whenever I revisited the Outlands. It was probably the only thing that startled me while leveling.

Ghostland always made me feel creep out, especially Knucklerot and Luzran quest, you would be walking they would come up and kill you. I hated the Fel Reaver, but then when I was at a higher level I would go back and seek revenge and dance.

upside down sinners was probably the scariest discovery we made in wow. That was a very very strange experience while waiting for TBC to launch

ppl love the scary shit in WoW we need more creepy things

In legion they created something as creepy as the Fel Reaver and it makes the same sound! It made me remember old good times when I was afraid of this giant demonic machine

Volty has done almost this exact video...maybe more than once...lets see if the flesh skin tent covers make it in the video & ill also keep a look out of the crypts of Karazhan

The unseen!! OMG, finally i know why i dead years ago, i was wonder what happened .....never thought about asking a lock for detect invisibility....

Ah, my favorite zone in WoW: The Hills Bradford Hills.

YESS!!!!! The Fel Reaver used to give me chills when the horn went off lol

I remember when whale shark came out and people on my server were trying to make a raid group to do it. Biggest problem was tank was getting hit so hard they couldn't keep heals up, and I'm pretty sure it was closer to end of expansion too. Good times

I have Thalassophobia so Vash'jir was quite a trip. The edges of the zone or even just the thin, deep trenches delineating the subzones would have my heart beating out of my chest. Even just the whale shark, despite being an pretty peaceful mob, freaked me the hell out as I swam up to it and it just kept giving bigger and bigger. Fel Reavers were definitely scarier on the metric of being a giant wandering mob who directly posed a threat to the player.

I always liked being able to hear the scene of arthas killing his father on the throne of UC

Ever since experiencing that whale shark in Vashjir, I've had terrible thalassophobia lol it seriously scarred me for life

Nice video and nice editing, you are getting better fast

Legit video man I was scared with feel reaver and stitches

I absolutely loved the underwater aspect of WoW and honestly forgot about it until now!!

I can't remember the name or location of these particular Stag (elk? Deer?) mobs, but they're fairly low level. Once killed the stag just stands there (doesn't have a dying animation), fades into a matte black shadow for a few seconds, then fades away completely. Nobody ever knows what I'm talking about, but I know for a fact they exist and they creep me the hell out.

Well, about the Karazhan crypt, you are able to get in nowdays, warlocks have their hidden affli skin from Legion inside, and the puzzle mount (forgot name) sents you down there to solve the last puzzle.

Water zones scare the shit out of me in every game. Started with Quake 2 and Jak and Daxter. The scars...

Ugh, the only thing that scares me everywhere is deep water. For example, the upside-down Sinners looks cool but the large, dark water area all around me... it gives me anxiety.

Never knew about the Upside-down Sinners. That should've been number 1 on the list.

This is great. This is why i love WoW, the HP Lovecraft spirit is feelable.

I know it's a cartoony game but have you ever thought about all those times you've casually had somebody's SEVERED HEAD in your backpack so you could bring it to some guy for money?

Correction: The Unseen are still in Battle for Azeroth. I just tried it and walked all the way to Stranglethorn consistently being concussed while healing myself. The Unseen ditch you when you reach the bridge

Those fel reavers were something else. Really made you fear the burning legion right off the bat when first coming to outlands. 👍🎅

maybe I'm showing my age here but I remember back in the original release classic days and getting to unguru crator and getting jumped by a devilsaur used to scare the hell out of me

4:50 the basegame manual also hints that these guys are also present in lordereon

I remember killing a Whale Shark in early Cata, though it took a raid group lol.

Fel reavers had to have been glitched for a while in early TBC because I used to watch them zoom across the zone ridiculously fast, like someone using speed hack. And you’d see them on the other side of the zone, and one second later they’d zoom straight at you and gank you. It was brutal.

The creepiest thing about the Unseen tavern, is that unlike all other haunted, abandoned buildings, this one plays the generic tavern ambience. (The people talking and working/moving around)

There's a giant mob in Argus that lets out the same sound as the Fel Reavers and the screen shakes when you're near it, don't remember what it's called though. As a new WoW player, that was the first time I actually felt scared by an NPC.

you lost one scary thing - a price of 60 level mounts in Classic

he did the hunan seedlings before...& he mentioned both my predictions of flesh tents & the crypt

Upside down sinners is a reference to my favorite movie of all time: Big Trouble in Little China. The protagonists get into an elevator which fills with water and when they swim out of the elevator, there's hooks and chains and people hung upside down. It is explained that this is the hell of the upside down sinners. This movie is also referenced by the 6 Demon Bag item (a relic held by the protagonist Egg Shen from the movie).

Thanks for the great video. I really miss and want to go back to WoW but, I know I will never feel the magic as my youth.

I loved Vashj'ir and still love questing there whilst leveling new toons. It's such a unique place unlike any other leveling zone. I remember soloing a whale-shark with my worgen hunter back then and the battle of kiting it up and down the east coast of vashj'ir back and forth, all the terrifying close-calls of literally being inside the model's mouth during the turn-abouts but not within it's hit-range, and even almost swimming backwards into a second one whilst kiting the first one. Being on a PVP server at the time, I got killed during one attempt by another player about half-way through, I failed another 3-4 times trying to do it as MM and BM until I finally realized that the instant-casts and DoT's that survival hunters had at the time was the way to go. Probably took me 30 minutes of effort to solo the thing but holy did it feel good when I managed it. At the time I was extremely casual and my PvE-experience was LFG dungeons and one run-through of LFR, so it felt like a great achievement to me at the time. Not to mention it literally gave you an achievement, "From Hell's Heart I Stab at Thee", with the lovely flavour-text of "Defeat the Whale Shark in Vashj'ir (despite or perhaps because of the fact that he drops no loot)." Good memories :D

I remember losing my shit when I first encountered a Fel Reaver. I was there, at 5:11, picking herbs for my inks, when that giant thing appeared from the corner with that terrifying sound right in front of me. I though I'll get a heart attack.

I remember back in the TBC days a friend and I played a private server which had the horde "starting" area inside the Kara crypt. We both rolled gnome rogues, the only race small enough to actually fit inside some of those little holes that are littered along the bottom of the walls. I cannot express how funny it was seeing a whole faction of players so confused as to where we kept disappearing to, after shadow step one banging people. The lols, the rage.

The karazhan crypts are supposed to be a reflection of Mediv's two personalities. The good regular Mediv, and the Mediv that is controlled by Sargeras.

Thx! now I remember so much fun I had in the beginning of Wow :D

Okay here is a challenge: How many times vaulty says the word "actually" per video :P

I quite enjoyed vash'ir underwater zone. first you get a speed buff when walkilng on the seabed so try kissing the seabed as often as you can for that speed buff, second, you get the fast underwater mount so I don't know what people smoke to trash the zone and questing there so much.

I just wanted to meantion that you could see Unseen at Mistmantle Manor ... I always questioned myself why they are just there ... Now they can be everywhere .. Inside Scarlet Raven tavern ... Some old houses that are totally empty except some critters ... Jesus this is rly scary

2:20 I remember killing one of them the first time I saw them. As a hunter I kited one of these things for an hour or so. Sadly it didn't drop anything special.

The Unseen have taken many souls on Hardcore servers. The worldwide message popping up that someone has died to "Unseen" is always an oof moment for all.

7:56 i think this is a reference to "Big Trouble in Little China" In the movie there is a place called "Hell of the upside down sinners".

You missed 2. The story and the balance patches.

back in the day me and my guild formed a raid to kill a whale shark... we were disappointed when it didn't drop anything

Warlords of Draenor should be on this list. Especially garrisons. We haven't got our Garrison Resources in years you best believe our followers are dead.

The scariest thing is realizing I accidentally clicked on a Vaulty video.

This sounds like the kid who says “hey Daralon” all grown up

some of these videos make me look at WoW through different eyes and literally the first thing i did when back in game was go to quest in Hillsbrad, i noticed the wagon stationed outside the horde camp of Tarren Mill has several catlike faces sown into the leather patched canvas, on the front are 2 cute smiley catfaces in the top left and top right corner aswell as there being one on the back

The karazhan crypts are actually acessable in retail WoW. It becomes accessable after you do the "Lucid Nightmare" Secret, because actaully one step will take you inside the crypts and they stay open after collecting your reward.

Only TBC beta players knew the ULTIMATE terror. One patch replaced the Fel Reaver model with a simple brown bear, making it difficult to see it coming even when looking for it. It would forever be known as the Bear Reaver.

The most scary thing in WOW is being a healer .

Vashijr wasn't that bad. I mean they even gave you a zone specific underwater mount. I liked that it was something entirely new. And as a Druid it was even more fun.

The Karazan crypt has become part of the legion quest for the lucid nightmare mount. It’s totally accessible once you have finished the quest and access the lucid nightmare mount in the chest near the pool of the drowned in the crypt :)

you can go through the karazhan crypt as part of the secret puzzle for the lucid nightmare mount. the mount if found in the Crypt once you have completed all the previous steps.

I started the burning crusade stuff earlier this week, and my dad told me about that sneaky fel reaver. It looks so cool and menacing from a distance and I always keep my eye out for it. after he got maxed out, he went to farm the reavers as revenge.

Scariest thing in wow is when you leveling in vanilla and you need to enter the mine...

It's funny because so far the first two on the list are some of my favorite places in wow

It's possible to get to the upside down sinners, saw them when I was getting the Lucid Nightmare mount

The scariest thing to happen to me was when my ghost died from fatigue when I went to revive my dead body in the ocean

The unseen mobs where put into game specifically for warlocks to farm soul shards in classic. they are all perfect level to drain soul for shards at level 60 and are easy to kill. (i main a warlock in classic btw, which is how i know this) there are no quests that involve these mobs and they drop mostly grey items with the occasional cloth drop!

Actually you can get to The Upside-Down SInners by doing the Lucid Nightmare puzzle "quest" line , and the last place is you need to go is Karazhan's crypt.

The Karazan Crypt is where you go for the Lucid Nightmare mount lol.

I remember when cata came out and people tried to kill the whale shark my server had a hundred toons out there trying but it was laggy as hell

The Forgotten Crypt isn't useless anymore as it's a part of the Lucid Nightmare mount puzzle. Was nice that Blizz actually used the Crypts for something ;)

If you did the Lucid Nightmare mount in legion, you could get into that place to the upside down sinners as part of the questline

on Upside down sinners, Blizz later made ghosts not able to pass through the gate, but you could duel a warlock in that stairwell and it was possible to glitch through the gate while being feared. I wish this video would have shown the old Stratholme glitch, or the Hidden rock room in Org glitch.

Karazhan Crypts looks pretty awesome It would be cool if they did something with this in retail or Classic+

The upside down sinners can still be reached if you die in the right spot and then you can fly over the gate.

I thought Mor’ladim was scary when he come up to you when you are doing the skeleton quests.

that top 1 is very true, when i was 11 playing wow lich king i got very very much afraid of the stitches walking by the roads

The upside down sinners were a direct plagiarism of Big Trouble in little China. In that movie we are told by the characters that the Chinese have a lot of different Hells. Lo Pan (the big bad) goes to the trouble of recreating some of those Hells for his enemies, and Jack Burton together with his friend Wang have to swim through the upside down sinners when they sneak into Lo Pans warehouse.

I randomly found the unseen when i was first playing as a warlock. The only thing they are good for is to farm soul shards at level 60.
