[@tri1937]

That was only a manifestation of CThuun. The old God's are supposed to be ginormus. They even said Yogg is the size of nothrend itself. Y'sharajj was the size of the entire Malestrom/ Well of eternity. Nzoth is probably smaller seeing how he is the weakest. So CThuun has to be massive aswell. Probably the whole southern part of kalimdor? (Silithus, ahnquiraj, uldum, tanaris, ungoro) whatever he is he is no way as small as he was when we fought him in vanilla. That was a piece of him basically pushing him down into his prison

[@antarath517]

You are correct in stating that we have not experienced the full power of the Old Gods. We have not come close to killing them, instead removing parts that escaped their prisons.

[@Wizo25]

I have to agree on this, if anything, all we did was take out an eye or arm of C'thun.

And people also keep forgeting, that old gods are probably not the best at "bare knuckle fights" they shine when manipulate people and stuff

Moral of the Story - the Ancient Trolls alone did what took 4 dragon Aspect and the night elven race to accomplish - and the trolls didn't contain them they massacred them and forced them to run and hide.

[@oscarstaszky1960]

Confirmed: Trolls as Azeroth's true master race like the Eredars to Argus....

[@Lyko5]

until later years in the awakening of the many races, the troll civilization was forced into corners of the world because they couldnt fight the aliance made by these races

[@Lyko5]

@Lalrivunga Hnamte humans were evolved from vrykul and vrykul were evolved from beings forged in Northrends, i never stated they were evolved from trolls and not all less looking beings were evolved from trolls, pandaren and tauren were evolved differently

[@Kylora2112]

Titan construct vrykul -> vrykul -> humans Earthen -> dwarves Clockwork gnomes -> gnomes - mechagnomes [something?] -> Trolls -> Night Elves -> High Elves -> Blood Elves Orcs, draenei, pandaren, tauren, and goblins more or less just "are and always have been."

[@danlorett2184]

Not really. The Trolls slaughtered the Aqir by themselves. They weren't fighting the Old God controlled Aqir.

[@Kunori]

Was it really not possible for the Titans to kill the Old Gods, or was it just too much hassle to do so? Y'shaarj was killed, if I recall, because Aman'thul literally reached down and yanked him from the planet's crust like a turnip, and that did indeed cause damage. But if you swarmed an old god with a ton of human-sized creatures and more carefully chopped them up and purified the area around them, couldn't that work? It's just that an operation like that is implausible, especially given that any creatures that size that hang around near an old god for too long get corrupted. So, theoretically possible, but not plausible? What I would really like is if our good friend Xal'atath, who is POSSIBLY the last piece of a fifth old god who got mostly eaten by the others long ago, used the power we're going to feed her from Sargeras' sword to escape and then run around eating the other old gods who we've conveniently been "killing" (seriously weakening) for her, allowing her to re-grow into a full old god (or something like it) herself and become a raid boss. We need someone with a personality and a connection to us to be a "face" for the void threat, since faceless tentacle monsters and fancy voidwalkers are kind of lacking in that department. Plus then when we killed her we'd finally end the old god problem, the same way beating Garrosh after he'd absorbed Y'shaarj's heart finally killed the last bit of Y'shaarj's presence on Azeroth.

[@Anaverageguy41]

Kunori Azeroth itself is a sleeping titan. Everytime the titans tried to kill an old god they essentially ripped out a piece of their long lost sibling who was I think potentially the purest of all titans. Instead they basically contained the old gods and hoped Azeroth wouldn't be ultimately corrupted I think. The second part is practically impossible due to how deep the old gods are ingrained into the old and how massive they are I.E titan sized in full aspect I imagine

[@xxxxx6622]

+Anaverageguy41 aman'thul literally squeezed fully sized yash'aarj in his hand, old gods are waaaay smaller than the titans.

[@RvnWolf]

Kunori they could but the problem was the old gods have been there long enough that doing so did more harm than good as they risked damaging corrupting or killing azeroth herself by doing so.

[@ericthemadscientist8357]

Titans:"Ain't nobody got time for that"

[@Resi1ience]

Let's be honest: The Titans are some of the most indecisive creatures in the universe. They easily could've just extracted and uprooted the Old Gods surgically, like a "Band of Adventurers" did in WoW, but no, they just went full on fuckin yanky doodle

[@oxinia]

War of the Shifting Sands is one of the events that I would like to see in the big screen. Its easy to understand and very appealing, there's 3 dragons that sacrifice their live to buy enough time for the druid to seal the gates. I believe non-fan and newcomers of Wacrafts can enjoy the story too.

if you read the quests and not try to speed through it you will find out it's actually a really good zone. sure its a lot of pvp going on there and spaced out quests. but they actually makes alot of sense to the area and old gods / titans and are really enjoyable once you get into it

I think it was confirmed in BfA that C'thun is definitely dead, and the only reason why Azeroth wasn't hurt by his death is because of the method of his death was different than that of Y'shaarj.

You had me up until 8:02. I don't recall any mention of Sargeras's sword being stuck into Azeroth!

[@ploppman7524]

Maybe do Y'Shaarj to finish up the old gods (Because so far N'zoth hasn't been confirmed as the culprit to enough to have much of a video.) Y'Shaarj himself hasn't done much after being ripped out of Azeroth so you could talk about his influence, including the Sha obviously.

[@superdaveozy7863]

Y'Shaarj died for good at the end of SoO. Garrosh attempted to revive his heart, but its power was drained when he was defeated, and failed. Y'shaarj is 100% dead in lore.

[@BomberJacknut]

Assuming that C’thun is indeed alive, and that was just a small manifestation of his power and all we really did was beat him back into his prison, I’d certainly expect that Sargeras’ sword did quite a bit more damage to his actual body. That said, however, the sword plunging into the earth also opened up a huge font of uber-powerful easily-weaponized everyone-went-to-war-over-it titan blood RIGHT IN FRONT of C’Thun’s containment zone. If he still lives, he’d have to be crazy not to take some kind of advantage of that. But, I guess we’ll see if that goes anywhere.

[@RafimOfficial]

Ahn’Qiraj.. That place always had my attention. Can anyone please tell me, who lived in that city before or how it was even created? I doubt C’thun would build an enormus city just to destroy it and infest it like that.

[@DalithaMW]

Long overdue answer! Ahn Qiraj was a titan facility, Cthuns prison. The qiraji and silithid infested the area and slew/corrupted the tol'vir living there, from what I recall

We can’t kill an old god without seriously destroying the place around them. Blizzard had that in the lore when they killed c’thun and yogg. And with the new evolved aqir that n’zoth used, im saying he isn’t truly dead. Him or yogg. Both the areas around their prisons are free of corruption.

[@elmapache9082]

Cool and cute as always! You could do Murozond next, it would be a neat subject, as well as a lesser known villain.

[@vegavega5344]

I like to think of all the Old Gods we have seen so far is more of a ''tip of the ice-berg'' case, both in form of raw power, but also in form of physical form-- Remember how C'thun has sort of ''2'' forms, and you get inside his belly UNDERNEATH the temple-- Same with Yogg'Saron in WOTLK, he's sort of floating in this mist, as if it is only his head we can see.. I like to think of the Old Gods being much more grotesque and malformed underneath the surface of what we have seen so far.
