Pointless Top 10: Creepy Things in World of Warcraft

[@jackalclone1]

That Karazhan Crypts earns its spot on these types of lists, though. Recently went back for one of the secret quests in the anniversary event, and there really is no other place in the game quite like it. The emptiness and poorly polished nature of it really adds to the overall creepy feeling. The layout is almost like a mix of horror and liminal spaces.

[@DeOneandLonely]

Well, it does though, but I get it. Those two things are talked about to death and they're boring at this point.

[@Mr.housekeys]

“Your subscription ends in 15 minutes.” That shit is terrifying.

[@Maligosz]

Real tip: just log back in after being kicked off, and you'll be fine for a little bit. I have done that many times.

[@catxborsuq1]

The dead orc in Apothecarium is probably the orc who was stationed there by Garrosh to keep an eye on the Apothecarians. He was there from Cata to Mists of Pandaria, after which in Warlords of Draenor instead of him this corpse appeared.

[@Geraldo_Rivian]

Makes sense....sylvanas doesn't want anyone to suspect her and garrosh made an enemy of everyone so his spy could be taken care off once garrosh became a non issue

[@Shifsabre]

To be fair, Garrosh was right to do that, considering how she betrayed his trust by using the plague against Gilneas. Garrosh was a warlord, but until his fall from grace, he was one who avoided senseless cruelty

[@strigga_]

Overseer Kraggosh. I think it was Thrall who sent him there, he was talking about Wrath Gate and added at the end of WotLK.

[@4F6D]

@@Shifsabre He didn't avoid senseless cruelty, the plague was just not honorable.

[@knightbender2]

@@4F6Dyou can’t have honor with senseless cruelty as an orc. Undead take pride in their sadistic torturing ways, Orcs take pride in honor and strength. Any orc senseless with his cruelty is either: drinking the burning koolaid (crusade), suffering from the lost of a close loved one (mankirk), or garrosh hellscream.

[@SpookyStu]

Uploading this at night adds to the creepy.

[@Sneakis96]

I think the quests in azj-kahet in the spider caves warrant a place on this list. Albert the undead pathfinder who is slowly getting eaten by baby spiders, his quests to find if any of his partymembers survived the attack and the endquest with the almost-jumpscare of a MASSIVE, shadowy spider on the ceiling actually gave me a physical reaction in front of the monitor lol wow has never ever given me that reaction before and I've played since vanilla. That questchain will stay in my memory ❤

[@ThatIrishLass]

There's an NPC called 'intent shadow' in the basement of the Cliffside Beacon in Hallowfall, and if you ask it 'what are you?', it repeats the question back to you, then takes your shape. Which would be less terrifying if it didn't then act exactly like a fucking weeping angel from doctor who from that point forward, following you every time the camera isn't on it, until eventually you look back and it's just gone. I have never jumped at anything in WoW, but I fully SCREAMED when I realised what was happening, it followed me halfway across the zone before it vanished!

[@Sneakis96]

@@ThatIrishLass omg that sounds awesome! I know where I'm going next time I play!

[@fleivor5359]

​@@ThatIrishLass i was annoyed at that thing following me around, i started baiting it with the camera angles and rushed towards it to make it disappear only to see it respawn again behind me and kept repeating the process until it disappeared for good, it was fun doing that while Anduin and the others were yapping nonstop

[@araoh6047]

100% this. Loads of my WoW friends that don't even have arachnophobia were creeped tf out by this quest chain. All I can say is thank f**k for crab-mode, cos I would not have been going near those quests even if I got paid.

[@KevinFarleyWV]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the gnome labor sweatshop beneath the tailoring shop in Silvermoon City.

[@crendor]

I actually mentioned them in Top 10 WTF NPC's kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWjQZnSsjJJprrc

[@Daktangle]

The Path of Victory is ridiculous. There's so many skulls there that they must have killed millions, if not billions of Draenei for there to be enough bones. I don't think that many Draenei fled Argus.

[@AvelineMelena]

Probably threw in their pets, mounts and many other stuff in the trench

[@geekishgir]

I may be remembering wrong but I swear there also were skeleton arms that reached out of the road and waved at some spots

[@tylerd80495]

For real, you realistically could walk over all Draenei bones in about 30 seconds. Also what an impractical material, bet a lot of orcs were bustin their ass walkin on only bones.

[@TheMexRAGE]

Depend, seeing how Velen was one of the 3 head of states, maybe it was 1/3 of the entire Argus population that went to Draenor... where they almost got extinct at the hands of the Horde... that's a lot of people

[@ZenFr0g]

Consider that they've been multiplying slowly over ten thousand years or so and then more quickly in the past couple hundred while on draenor. Though the lore of BC at the time had them on draenor for thousands of years, not hundreds

[@Kevkoss]

Great video. Good idea to include more modern stuff. And I really hope we'll one day get "Pointless Top 10: Best Locations/Zones To Use Inky Black Potion".

[@caesumisrude]

Actually the people of Pompei were not really preserved. It's their negatives that remained. Giuseppe Fiorelli poured paris into the uncovered holes to preserve their shape as he assumed those were the voids left by decomposed bodies. Sorry for the unsolicited tidbit but I just felt the sudden urge to be a know-it-all and besides I find the method fascinating lmao

[@iamjustkiwi]

The guy that died apparently stroking one out has one hell of a legacy

[@SH4D0W0733]

The second summoning circle in the blasted lands was the end point of one of those really long vanilla quest chains where you travel the world. Even had a poop quest, because Blizzard can't get enough of those. And then the story continues when Demon Hunters meet the guy helping you all the way down in Legion.

[@nevercroft6711]

Yeah, and the elite you had to kill at the end was a Nathrezim named Razelikh the Defiler iirc - and fighting him on that little mountain was eight bastards in a five bastard bus. You could tell if someone had tried to do the quest recently by the number of skeletons surrounding the foot of the thing.

[@TheWideMurloc]

The crypts would make a great delve if they were to add delves to old world zones

[@bebejebe]

9:30 what's more creepy, thinking that they failed, or they succeeded?

[@yobgodababua1862]

"Hell of the Upside Down Sinners", with all the creepy underwater chains, is also a reference to "Big Trouble in Little China", one of the best movies of all time.

[@nonyabiz7918]

Came here to say this. Total agreement.

[@ZenFr0g]

#2 has a quest line regarding it, in which you help a demon hunter summon and "imprison" a dread lord in his own body. The burnt bodies are the remnants of the last ones to try and thwart said dread lord.

[@jesserothhammer7378]

Yeah, that was a long quest chain with a lot of elite mobs and a some part of it in Azshara It got watered down to just that zone in Cataclysm

[@AgelessStones]

I'm so impressed that you managed to find 10 mostly new things to add to the list of creepy stuff in wow, I look forward to the next instalment in another 10 or so years from now lol Yeah i thought it was just me who felt that the wow-creepy-stuff videos were repetitive, they all just cover the same things we've all heard before a million times

[@Simpvanas]

I'm not sure if it is in WoW since Cataclysm or not but the quest in Desolace where you see a shrine that was used by night elves to offer satyr flesh and blood to Elune. That always stuck out to me.

[@iamjustkiwi]

The blood troll feet freak me out, whoever designed them knew how to make something horrific

[@afterwalker6773]

The Room of Upside Down Sinners is a direct reference to a room of the same name and description (chained, upside-down bodies underwater) from a movie called Big Trouble in Little China.

[@cal1053]

Excellent new Pointless Top 10 about creepy things in World of Warcraft, Crendor. I do have some concerns about this one though. I was shocked to find not one, not two, but TEN creepy things in this video. Each thing creepier than the previous creepy thing and at number one there is a VERY creepy thing. Quite concerning.

[@tomaskalinka5679]

The new achievement "No Harm Ever Came From Reading A Book" is also pretty creepy...al of it...from its location to the path to it, to conversations with yourself, everything

[@hallowfish691]

Number One, I'm pretty sure, is also a reference to the movie "Big Trouble in Little Chinatown" there's a scene in the movie where kurt russell is swimming in a dungon with chained corpses called The Hell of the Upside-down Sinners. Great movie and creepy scene

[@KaitN9]

In D&D lore, Harpies usually interbreed with other male humanoids to assure a descendance. No need to add that the males in question are hardly consensual as the mating often involves the males being overpowered or enthralled by the Harpies' song... So there is this.

[@Doness4q]

Source on this being from D&D? I'm trying to find out where this gross trope comes from?

[@KaitN9]

@Doness4q On some Jagged Dice wiki that is not canon! You are the only one to notice after all this time. While harpies doing that is not necessarily canon to DnD as you rightly said, it is nonetheless the case in other lores.

[@SuperDuper3D2Y]

I never noticed the dryad being half molten, I always assumed her model just bugged and clipped into the ground Also the dead orc is Overseer Kraggosh, one of the Kor'Kron sent to Undercity after the battle of the undercity to ensure nothing similiar to Varimathras and Putress betrayel happen again

[@zulugrub]

number 2 was a quest chain for removing a dread lord, you fought him on the peak, in cata they removed the quest line but kept the circle

[@TheUnusualPlatypus]

Is number 9 a reference to pirates of the Caribbean: curse of the Black pearl as Barbossa's crew turn to their skeleton forms in moonlight which seems very similar to that painting.

[@princembat]

others may not appreciate the hanging sinners being on this list but i love the crypt so

[@CaptainDugog]

The upside down sinners section is also a reference to big trouble in little china. Theres a place in that movie with the same name and theme.

The painting is probably meant to just be like a movie thing; horror movies and horror amusement parks would always have something like that (similar to the painting with eyes following you) where a portrait would decay and then turn back, just something creepy to give a horror vibe.

[@kogure7235]

What's interesting is that Draenei player corpses keep their horns, but none of the skeletons in the path have horns, or hooves for that matter. Probably just an oversight though.

[@specolar6814]

Here's an idea for a future pointless top 10: top 10 beasts that hunters can't tame. Some examples being the kodos, zhevra, and giraffes in the barrens or the non-devilsaur dinos in un'goro crater

Lore-wise, trolls have wicked regeneration powers. So it would make sense to use a troll as a shooting/throwing target dummy. Unless you hit in a vital spot, you can just collect your arrows/throwables and the beast will regenerate it's wounds by the time you walk back to your shooting spot.

[@mygameclips7710]

Those bears in Cata HIllsbrad that the Forsaken are using as living spider nests are kinda horrifying. The other boring Hillsbrad answer is the Sludge Fields but everyone has talked about that and you can write that off as Stillwater's doing but the Forsaken injecting bears with Spider eggs to breed spiders is horrifying, you also have to kill the bears in order to harvest the eggs.
