Exploring the Sunwell Hidden Inside of the Magisters Terrace

[@mathews1451]

I find it funny how scaffolding assets in a raid added 10 years ago serve as platforms for a new class to climb. nice video!

[@HiddenAzeroth]

It's honestly hilarious that this purely decorative bit of raid design allows you to explore vastly more of the Sunwell than you'd normally be able to.

[@shadow5273]

love these videos been missing them ever since Hayven Games passed away

[@brotheralaric7177]

yup, poor guy . .

[@Treezy0504]

May he rest in peace

[@Pesthuf]

That parcouring to get past these gates was amazing. Kudos for finding all these ways to get out of bounds. They really didn't plan for any class to ever get this much mobility.

[@sampleshrimp]

I really love Quel’Thalas and Silvermoon and all the blood elf places...I hope that someday the zone(s) will get a complete rebuild so it looks as good as the broken isles.

[@Alexs229]

Awesome video as usual!! The reason those untargetable demons, M'uru, the eredar and Anvina are visible is because of the orb near the balcony were you jumped onto the planter. That orb shows you a mini tour of the raid as part of one of Magister's Terrace dungeon quests.

[@HiddenAzeroth]

I'd forgotten about the orb, thank you!

[@cujoedaman]

I still find it odd that no one at blizz, at any moment in time while making the abilities of demon hunters didn't say "hey, do you think these abilities could be used to exploit things?"

[@HiddenAzeroth]

That 9:59/10:00 timestamp is bothering me more than you know. (The video wound up being 9 minutes, 59 seconds, and 75 milliseconds)

[@gonzalosanchez1538]

The exploration of the raid between the 2nd and 3rd gates is quite known already, and also exploring the island itself; but this is the first time I see someone getting into the Sunwell itself, good job and great video!

[@HiddenAzeroth]

I couldn't find anything about how to get into the final chamber, so I wound up figuring out a method myself through a few hours of trial and error. Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@nolikita]

I'm so glad I've found your channel a few months back, it's so rare to find good WoW exploration channels.

[@i.m.3940]

Isle of Quel'danas is one of my favorite places in the game, it's always good to see a video about it. Good job man, wish i could hit the like more than one time.

[@skyfiredraco]

These are always so much fun to watch :) Makes me miss stuff like wall jumping into Hyjal back in the ol' days :)

[@AweSND]

Always excited to see these pop up.

[@Mutantvirus]

figured out how to do this a few weeks ago with a friend. Was great and got me back into exploration. did alot of it in vanilla and tbc

[@BlueKranz]

Thank you for always being so detailed and explaining things. Your videos are super interesting!

[@HiddenAzeroth]

Thanks!

[@sopranophantomista]

That's really cool. I didn't know that SWP was barred off like that, as I started after TBC. These are really fun to watch, keep it up!

[@HiddenAzeroth]

Thank you! I actually started in Wrath so it came as a surprise to me as well, I wound up looking up the names and reading about the old unlock questline to figure out what they were.

[@ToyokaX]

Another great video, dude. You're exploration techniques would make Dopefish proud :D

[@4erographer]

another awesome video!! painting with this on was very relaxing :D im excited for your next upload!

[@HiddenAzeroth]

Thanks!

[@Lichdemonz]

"Kell'danis"

[@RetroFrito]

This really bothered me. I wish people putting videos out there would brush up on pronunciations

[@Quetzen]

@@RetroFrito Kal'fas

[@Kamikazibroadcast]

Blast from the past!!! I remember waiting for this patch to come out...

[@stellavaticana]

Oh I've waited for so long! Thanks

[@vukadinstanujkic7742]

man u deserve much more subs

[@HiddenAzeroth]

I'm already blown away by how well received these videos have been. You guys are amazing, and I always look forward to figuring out what new explorations I can share with you all.

[@vukadinstanujkic7742]

Hidden Azeroth idk if this is hard for you or anything but i always was blown away with the well of eternity lore so maybe well of eternity next

[@HiddenAzeroth]

I actually just recently got into the BFA beta, so I'm going to be looking for dungeons/areas in BFA to get outside of and explore for the next few videos. But I'll add Well of Eternity to my list of future explorations!

[@aidenhynes2255]

Hidden Azeroth congrats on beta access!

[@dr.badtimes3660]

This makes Dawnstar Village look like an elven town devastated by floods.

[@seekervaltriz9447]

Thank the Light I subscribed to this channel I get so great looks into secret areas throught here

[@lorrieruff4402]

that was fun, can't wait till your next one, till then have fun!

[@HiddenAzeroth]

Thanks!

[@vladporc]

Another good one. Keep up the hard work!

[@joshuatunis6732]

Escape from Hellfire Ramparts to explore instanced Hellfire, or Pit of Saron to explore instanced Icecrown!

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

Considering how much of these either requires Demon Hunters or Wild Charge for Druids it's easy to see that...Blizzard REALLY didn't think through the consequences of giving ANY player a Double Jump in a game that's never been built for it.

[@herdent1957]

4:50 That's a nice jacuzzi you've got yourself there.

[@HiddenAzeroth]

Blood Elves taking the in-ground pool game to the next level.

[@FroFTW85]

I cant remember the countless hours i spent running in circles outside SW while my guild was doing progression raids. I was a warrior tank sub. I didnt go into SW for about a month, until they finally had the first 3-4 bosses on farm. I only killed kil jaden once, than basicly stopped raiding (except for karazhan, which i did every week start to finish of expansion), and mostly played the wrath ptr.

[@tealversace]

So weird to see the changes in instanced Quel'danas between this and the Sunwell raid. They're so similar but a lot of things are in different places.

[@Lollypop37045]

Ohmygod im freaked out. I was just doing the Sunwell raid yesterday and going through it i was thinking ‘Ooo i hope Hidden Azeroth does this raid soon’.... ok so its not the actual raid, but close hahah Maybe do that next? :) (Btw the legendary bow dropped too!!!) xD

[@lubaka8269]

This is why WoW takes up so much space, not that i complain tho, i love exploring!

[@ovolmase6724]

8:37 you claim that Anveena and the eredar aren't visible anywhere from Magister's terrace.. this is false.. there's an activatable Orb after the first boss, a bit before the area you're standing at the beginning of the video, which starts a cinematic that takes the camera past all the unintractable demons into the Sunwell room past M'uru and down to Anveena and the Eredar.

[@HiddenAzeroth]

Oh damn, that's a really good point. Thank you for pointing that out!

[@Regunes]

Hidden Azeroth pin and like his comment if you agree with him! Also gud content nonetheless

[@SampoPaalanen]

Yeah that Orb was part of the orginal questline for the Terrace back in TBC, You would click it watch the cutscene and then Kalec would fly down to the balcony to give you the next part of the questline.

[@jordanread5829]

It isn't directly after the first boss. The orb is after the 2nd boss, on the balcony that the video actually starts from.

[@SampoPaalanen]

How many people remember that mister "I am a god" is actually a boss and not just a miniboss for the second boss.

[@ich8966]

Magisters Terrace wasn't prepared for demon hunters

[@TheMarcus7777]

great video!

[@aiwenore89]

Amazing!

[@shadow5273]

can you explore legion dungeons? id love to see that hill area in halls of valor

[@HiddenAzeroth]

I've got a few Legion dungeons on the list, although I recently got into the BFA beta so I'm planning on doing the next few videos on BFA dungeons. There will be legion dungeon explorations eventually though!

[@AkaAkoVT]

Both sound awesome~ I explored a little of Neltharion's Lair a while back, and it has a load more space than just what you go through when doing a normal run from the looks of it. Also! Invasion points! I'm not actually sure how many of them can be broken out of, but Val at least can be explored(and has a hidden roasted slug outside of the map). The area near the entrance can be climbed with Infernal Strike.

[@mobbel14]

Have you been outside of Stratholme yet? (The Classic instance, not the culling one) There is a super easy way to get out right at the beginning, and outside is crazy.

[@HiddenAzeroth]

I haven't, but it's on my list of future videos. I considered doing it the week after my Culling of Stratholme episode, but I felt like since I'd done Durnholde and Shadowfang the previous two weeks, I wanted to do somewhere with different architecture. I will get back to it eventually though!

[@mobbel14]

Well bad news. I was visiting the map outside of Stratholme again, and it changed to the last time i was out of there. It gotten a good deal smaller and good juicy stuff was removed. Last time i was there, there were random buildings on the untextured/missing terrain area as well other random bits and pieces. Well, the last time i checked that map was Cataclysm. However, after seeing how broken the Demonhunter is, its fun to explore other areas, not only dungeons. The Bloodelf starting area and the Ghostlands are a very good candidate to explore. Since they are still from the TBC era, with flying being restricted, lots of interesting landmarks.

[@wizzchan]

Like the music :)

[@delsin1126]

Yes I requested this :)

[@HiddenAzeroth]

I appreciate the suggestion! A couple people requested it, and it was a really fun exploration to do. I spent a few hours figuring out how high I could climb up the Sunwell.

[@Magerikk]

Hayven would be so proud of you, GJ MAN!

[@JoshHnatowych]

Hell yeah dudes

[@Thunderwell]

6:20 the invisible walls we saw earlier...

[@katsarelas1947]

Wait wait, are those the “elf gates” mentioned in lore? I thought they were in the outside

[@Reverberate_]

Is it possible to explore the inaccessible dome in Draenor Shattrath? I know it was a scrapped raid or something and I've always wondered if there was anything of interest inside.

[@HiddenAzeroth]

So far as I'm aware there's nothing inside the dome. They never got around to designing an interior to the city, so there's just an empty hole where it was going to be.

[@Reverberate_]

Thank you for your reply. I would have loved for them to have done more with that. Such a waste.

[@ThePaganwicca]

I didn't know the gates had names ! What were they ? :)

[@JakeSPuwuowo69]

It's nuts how much you can bypass certain areas. I have a question and I know the answer is very likely a solid "no" but I have to wonder anyhow, in the Antoran Wastes, north of Felfire Armory and south of The Spirit Crucible, there is a bridge leading west with several strong elite NPCs and some on the bridge as well. Even worse, being on the bridge starts to inflict unreasonably high damage onto you. The bridge would in theory lead to an uninstanced version of Antorus, the Burning Throne, but it looks impossible to get through without being killed. Is there a way?

[@HiddenAzeroth]

I've run down the bridge once by mistake, but I haven't done any further exploration into whether theres a way to negate the damage. I'll look into it at some point! (Although it may be a little while, my next few videos are going to be on explorations in the BFA beta)

[@JakeSPuwuowo69]

Cool, thank you! Lookin' forward to it!

[@tamasdavidhazy3988]

I always wonder that if instances or raids are just small buildings with portals like ulduar entrance(or any) its just a tiny tower but inside its freakin big so where are the instances located truly? I would like to know/see them

[@sprendinea]

did you try going to silvermoon from there?

[@herbert224]

:o That would be cool, yet sadly I think it’s impossible, it’s probaby not rendered, and if it was there’d probably be an invisible wall, preventing you from reaching mainland. Though an invisible wall has never stopped this guy ;)

[@watergirl929]

Those demons guarding the sun well suck they forgot to keep watch from above Incase anyone came through the ceiling

[@sircringe8968]

What’s your transmog?

[@HiddenAzeroth]

Lookalike Alliance Tier 9 with the Mists of Pandaria Legendary Cloak and Warlords of Draenor monk PvP belt, also the Squires Shirt from Escape from Durnholde!

[@Arlikuwow]

Blizzard tricking us into thinking instances were bigger since 2004 jk nice video man

[@HiddenAzeroth]

There's a bunch of instances where they layer/selectively render stuff so that areas appear a lot larger than they really are. It's a really neat way to save space and connect areas that shouldn't be able to seamless lead into each other.

[@MrTruth-yn7pq]

What can I say....My man Hidden Azeroth has another hit on his hands... Do you take requests?

[@HiddenAzeroth]

I can't guarantee that I'll be able to explore any particular request, either because it's impossible to get out of or because the exploration itself turns out to be kind of uninteresting, but I do have a list of fan suggestions that I pick from when I can't think of a video idea for that week. If you have a place you want me to explore, feel free to leave it in a comment and I'll add it to the list!

[@BigPapaKaiser]

Obligatory Hayven approval comment.

this should've been named How to:parkour in WoW xd

had to double check what video game this was... thought i was watching parkour simulator

[@ivicavuletich2083]

well that felt like watching prince of persia gameplay lol

[@leejay105]

So cool how did you find all of this things

[@WakoDoodle]

Demon hunters! Breaking the game and it's more since 2016 ;)

[@WakoDoodle]

I feel sorry for the blood elves/high elves (pretty much the same people in lore) first they lose their ranger general to the dark portal (wc2) then their sunwell get's attacked by the scourge, then they loose their other ranger general (and her sister) to them (wc3), then the alliance put garithos in charge who used them, ignored them and then put them in freaking JAIL of all places because he didn't listen to their warning's and blamed THEM for it (wc3 tft). (**SPOILERS FOR BFA ALLIED RACE AHEAD, BEWARE**) Then after they decide to join the horde because, well look at what the representative to the allinace did to them; it's more evil than garrosh and his time-travel actions or the bombing of theramore! Only to find the alliance welcoming in the void elves who previously tried to take down their sunwell again; after they just recovered from kael'thas AND the scourge! The Blood elves have been abused by so many people, including their once former allies. I don't hate alliance (got a toon on their) but the alliance are far from the good guys. In the lore book "Warcraft: lord of clans" based on the cancelled PnC game of the same name; it even shows some of the alliance racist to dwarves. Yes, their own dwarves as well! What irks me is, after all this; even blizzard saying there are no "good guys" or "bad guys", if you play a panda and get to the faction choice; they literally wrote them as "good guy", "bad guy". Blizzard, contradicting and retconning themselves since MoP :/

[@ninaloveray]

Wacka Doodle they never lost their ranger general to the dark portal, if you’re talking abut Alleria she wasn’t the ranger general because she declined that position and joined the rangers instead which afterwards led her to join the Alliance of Lordaeron and then the Draenor expedition. And during the scourge invasion Sylvanas was the ranger general and she never lost any of her sisters because Vereesa is still alive but she wasn’t in Quel’thalas during the invasion i think while Alleria was lost beyond the dark portal at that time.

[@basillah7650]

@Wacka Doodle Lose is when you do not win or you have lost something. Loose is like when a hole is not tight or when something is about to fall off from being almost ripped off what it was on.

[@Immagonko]

Well they are the ones who are responsible for bringing Legion on Azeroth...

OMG YOU REMIND ME OF HAVEN SO MUCH

Dude... it's "KWELL-da-noss"

[@FaerieFire]

Hayven would be proud.

[@gildrop]

its pronounced quell den ahs

[@Sid11358]

all these exploration guides start with step 1 be a DH. There's ways to escape from some of these places as not DH but ppl are lazy

[@minette36]

I know you play Alliance but....... bro........... Quel'Danas isn't pronounced like that. "Quel" is pronounced like the word "quell" (kwel); "Danas" is pronounced with long A's and a hard S (dah-nahss). Great video, but I had to cringe every time you mispronounced the name of the Isle.

[@justnope5358]

its don`t matter how a person speaks it wow is ONLY is a GAME its NOT killing stop bitching over how things are said

[@utkudelvarturker6258]

Well it seems you literally broke the game.
