In the Riplash Ruins there's a hidden cave underwater. Later in Cataclysm they added a white murloc pet that you get by getting in that cave.

[@Northrendish]

I was waiting to see if he went there as well lol

[@firstGrunt]

It seems he didnt.

[@Jediwarlock]

I will have to go back and see if I can find that! :D

@@Jediwarlock 55.5, 88.2; as you approach that spot, look for a fluted white column. Facing WSW (252°) with the column to your left you should see a narrow passageway with a ^-shaped top.

What a wonderful journey you have given us, thank you so much!

Time flies sooo fast watching your videos. They are so great!

Thank you! :)

[@LoveFactoryParties]

Dude I absolutely love your channel and I'm so happy you continue to make these, these are always such a nice vibe to be hungover to and it always makes me feel calm and happy. Rad job my friend, thanks again

[@Jediwarlock]

I'm glad you enjoy these! :D

[@BrawlUniversity]

This has been such a great series! Sad to see it end but it was awesome 👌

[@Jediwarlock]

Thanks!

[@raider762]

I do remember the Northern extension of Icecrown for the daily quests to kill the kraken.

[@Jediwarlock]

A true Wrath fan! :D I think the area is super cool!

[@raider762]

I don't remember the Scarlett Crusade part of Icecrown. Neat part of the zone.

[@Jediwarlock]

I agree! It's cool they get a satisfying conclusion here that ties back to their early story :)

[@spaceboy5293]

Man i absolutely love these series,keep em coming :D

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you so much! :D One to go!

[@jofvenom]

Lets goooo! Another beautiful and nostalgic video from Jediwarlock.

[@Jediwarlock]

Thanks! :)

[@nakenmil]

So much love and attention in the Wrath landscape building. Only thing holding it back was the lack of a full Azjol-Nerub zone.

[@maruraba1478]

there is a lot of cool cut and change content in WotLK, like the Old Kingdom Zone, and the Argent Tournment was initially to be under Dalaran but was later moved to Icecrown be to server issues with Dala overhead. that is why alot of the Argent Tournment quest lead to Crystalsong Forest in the final version.

[@Jediwarlock]

I agree! They could have easily gone with an Azjol-Nerub or Gundrak raid and it would have been even more perfect! :D

[@linusgustavsson2749]

Here's an idea: The caves of azeroth or the mountains of azeroth! Besides the big one like blackrock mountain which might have an episode worth of content all on its own, there are several different mountains, cracks and crevices around azeroth that are just begging to be explored! Love your content mate, been watching for a while now, keep it up :)

[@Jediwarlock]

I've had a few people suggest this... I definitely think there are cool things to be found! :D

[@gertjedeballenman5174]

I’m not ready for this series to end, man. It was such an amazing journey. Thanks for posting. When can we expect videos of you swimming around the US, Africa or Iceland?

[@Jediwarlock]

Haha, I'm glad you have enjoyed the series! I better start practicing my swimming strokes XD

[@johnwolfe7596]

Wonderful and very much worth the wait!

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you so much! :D

[@arya8165]

Will you be doing retail wow as well like swimming around Pandaria and swimming around the goblin starting island ?

[@GeekyPrincess74907]

This needs to happen! I’d love a pandaria swim around

[@Jediwarlock]

I don't have any plans to at the moment, but I'm sure there are lots of secrets out there too! :D

[@Syltarius]

9:04 Holy the subscibe button glows when you say subscribe xD (Watching this series now btw after seeing BroStudios swimming around Pandaria)

[@Jediwarlock]

I'm glad he sent you my way! I thought it was great he did a Pandaria episode. :)

[@rietoh]

Keep em coming!

[@Jediwarlock]

One to go! :D

[@Xyng97123]

Sidefact because I happened to play through the Tundra earlier today: In the German Version, „Captain K“ is named „Captain I. Glu“ which is a reference to the advertising face of a frozen-food brand „iglo“

[@Jediwarlock]

Good to know! I wonder how many other language/localization Easter eggs there are in the game. :)

[@Xyng97123]

A lot for sure :) Don’t recall most, but I stumbled across quite a few on my journey to the Loremaster-Achievement (only MoP missing now…)

[@wazowski1089]

I remember the first diving video. Hurts to see we’re finally at the end. Thanks for the vids Jedi.

[@Jediwarlock]

You are very welcome! Even after this is over, I hope you'll enjoy all the future projects I upload! :)

[@sordschie3944]

Nice!

[@Jediwarlock]

Thanks! :)

[@dorbitpince1552]

Loved watching your channel grow since you started your Deep Dive series! Can't wait to see even more interesting content!

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you very much! :)

[@GiveMeThatLetter]

I'm going full nerd, but I'm also making sure you don't get confused for years on end like I did! The Riplash Ruins aren't actually high elf ruins; they're part of the largest, most powerful caste of night elves called the Highborne. High elves are only known to have built settlements in Quel'Thalas and parts of Lordaeron before they officially became blood elves after the Scourge nearly wiped them all out. Highborne vs. high elves. Yeah, I don't know why they had to make it so confusing to begin with, but they did. Highborne were the night elf spellcasters mostly loyal to Queen Azshara, and in so doing they shared in her curse to live underwater, becoming the naga. Most of the Highborne that avoided the curse either hang around Dire Maul or EVENTUALLY became the high elves. And it's also why night elves can't play as Mage in the classic servers. High elves were Highborne that escaped the Sundering and developed their own source of magic that changed their appearance and made them more closely resemble their human neighbours. They built their own kingdom, created their own language, and are only playable in the game as blood elves (who unfortunately succumbed to Fel corruption, which changed their dominant blue eye colour to green). That's not to say you didn't know most of this already, I'd rather teach as many people as possible! Keep up the solid effort! Can't wait for Part 2. 👌

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you for the clarification! I always mix the two up XD

[@GiveMeThatLetter]

@@Jediwarlock See? I called it being an honest mistake. 😂

[@Garouwerks]

This was fun and interesting. I have fantastic memories of the Tuscar and getting their reputation for their fishing pole. It has water breathing attached to it, so it tends to be my absolute favorite fishing pole. Starting to drown? Put on your fishing pole! LOL! I am looking forward to part 2! I would love to see you continue with MoP, BfA and any others, as I have yet to even travel in the water/under water in those! I got lazy (sad panda). And even if you do not continue, These were fun, and exciting, and a learning experience; so thank you! Looking forward to moar!

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you very much! I have no plans to continue past WotLK as of now, but we will see what happens next! :)

[@podo_games9449]

I was waiting for this too! Even swam around myself, after your eastern kindoms vid! :)

[@Jediwarlock]

I'm glad I inspired you to go on a swim! :D Lots of stuff to discover!

[@xxEi8htyFou4xx]

I just recently found you (about a month or so ago, I guess) and I absolutely love these videos! I've always wanted to do this kinda stuff, so being able to see it (after you've cut/edit) is truly amazing. Very thankful for all these that you do!

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words… more adventures soon to come! :)

Northrend, what we've all been waiting for, the final boss.

[@Jediwarlock]

Indeed! Congrats on the channel growth as well, my friend! :)

[@pishatmata433]

In the waters near Unu'pe, there is a massive dragon/serpent skeleton with the head visible even on the map. The scale of it is enormous, much bigger then even Galakrond. I was expecting you to show it just in the beginning of the video. Just wanting to let you know about it !!

[@Jediwarlock]

Saving that for part 2! ;) I actually have a separate video on that if you wanna check it out! :D

[@pishatmata433]

@@Jediwarlock sure I will. Your videos are golden man, keep doing your thing ! Also, in the waters north of nazmir there is a undersea bar. I found it by mistake just exploring and getting lost in the world. It's crazy how many details they put in the new zones. Maybe give Zandalar/Kul Tiras a look in the future !!

[@KukizWoW]

i just entered Ulduar to farm Mimiron head and turned youtube on 2nd monitor to watch something meanwhile and i saw that one :D what a coincidence!

[@Jediwarlock]

Haha, nice! Good luck farming the mount! :)

[@Felunya]

Love the series

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you! :)

[@xxshadowfistxx2308]

am excited for zul drakk

[@Jediwarlock]

It's a very interesting one, that's for sure! I have a separate Zul'Drak video planned for the future as well ;)

[@MegaJTHM]

Ahhh, very happy to see this addition to your inspiring series (I thought for some time your characters wouldn't venture to the icy north). A piece of my childhood was happily left in this world. You have an excellent knack for exhibiting what I believe is what everyone wants from WoW. Finding something new and exciting just around the corner.

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you very much! :) Even after the swimming videos are over, I hope my episodes convey that sense of exploration to you all!

[@sulmage9926]

First of all 0:52 I hate to be that guy, but that symbol above your character looks like an amogus (yea I do hate myself for seeing that too lmao) ok 2:21 that's pretty cool and lastly, 7:45 all I can think of is that the lifeboats were lost due to some accidents, perhaps sabotage or even be the result of some long-range skirmishes.

[@Jediwarlock]

Thank you for the comment! I almost mentioned the amogus but I didn't wanna traumatize the viewers XD

[@josephteller9715]

Note on your commentary : The Naga are actually magically corrupted High Elves in the lore... as are the Night Elves, the Sun Elves/Blood Elves, the Trolls etc.

[@maruraba1478]

just to clarify, every elf is troll (troll masta race), like nightelves are dark/forest trolls that drank from the well of eternity, and then nightelves split off into many groups. its in the wow chronicle. Zandalari are trolls that gathered around the golden titan facilities in Zandalar, gained prominence, ruled over the troll nations, and warred with the Aqir. for those curious basically on pre history azeroth there are natural races, most offspring of wild gods: dark trolls - highborne - Nightelves - Satyrs - blood/sun elves - nightborne - naga forest/ice/jungle trolls Zandalari Trolls tauren - highmountain - taunka panda tuskarr proto-dragons - dragons flights quillbor furbolgs knollls murlocs etc and titan touched races from the multitude of earthen and iron beings made by the keepers: Humans - worgen - undead - kultiran Dwarves - bronzebeard - wildhammer - darkiron - frost Gnomes - mechagnomes Giants Mogu Tolvir etc. and there are other races in the lore like aliens and those that spawned from the old gods: the Aqir (the black empire) Draenai/Eredar - lightforged - manari Orcs - maghar - fel orcs etherals naaru etc.

[@kharsis666]

Actually all Eleves devolved from Trolls due to the Well of Eternity

[@Jediwarlock]

Yes! I probably could have made that more clear, but I agree :) Thanks for pointing that out!

[@josephteller9715]

@@kharsis666 evolved from trolls... who at least one version of the lore are themselves upraised from animals... and who upraised (by accident and bad judgement) the Goblins. The lore is a bit of a confused mess...

most forgotten area? nah i do Tournament dailies there everyday

I suppose people who are completionists doing WotLK will find this place eventually! :D

[@killerhawks]

Have any thought on doing this retail? Like swimming around pandaland and the like?

[@Jediwarlock]

I have definitely thought about it, and lots of people have suggested it! I have no plans to move to Retail as of now, but we will see what happens in the future :)

[@jarlfisk]

Vanilla wow was/is the best, even when it comes to the sea ☺️☺️⛵

I'm assuming from the menu music that you're going to swim around Dark Souls next :P

Haha, not exactly, but I have been getting into that series recently and figured I'd throw in an Easter egg XD

[@General12th]

Hi Jedi! Imagine if hypothermia was in this game.

[@Jediwarlock]

Oh my, Lord of the Rings Online has something like that in the frozen north area and it is SO BAD to deal with XD

[@General12th]

@@Jediwarlock Back during WoW beta, there was a secondary profession called Survival Skills. I remember most of the example crafting options were campfires and torches (good for environments that got really dark and dangerous at night), but I can see how temperature management would have been another aspect. While Survival sounds like a cool idea, I'm glad it wasn't implemented. A lot of people have to play at a specific time of day because of their schedule. Could you imagine forcing players to endure a wildly different world where leveling might be way harder?
