10 Easter Eggs in World of Warcraft

[@madseasonshow]

Thanks to RebeccaETripp for the music! Listen to the original here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWjTonqGbal8f8k

[@death7355]

MadSeasonShow hahahah i was actually looking at your previous 10 easter eggs video😂

[@delsin1126]

MadSeasonShow do you know the Easter egg about the movie Zoolander? In the alliance side of Ashran you can find a Draenei posing for clothing who those the same pose

[@madseasonshow]

+Tyler I've heard about that one, but haven't taken the time to check it out....I'll keep it in mind!

[@joshandrus3557]

Sounds like final fantasy music.....7 ish.

[@jordanedwards2714]

think thats the idea haha

[@Sele1908]

The Linken/Zelda-esque quest chain is a testament of why Vanilla WOW was so epic. You could feel the inspiration and love of the programmers/creators for what they did. A game for gamers by gamers.

[@Finvy]

"No judgements here, unless you are a Paladin of course." Love it.

[@EnderGoku9001]

It's beautiful

[@killswitchfate]

You consistent choice of classic Final Fantasy backround music always warms my cold dead heart

[@Gulliedoutbigup]

The enthusiasm in your voice is insane. ''hey..... if they can skin humanoids why can't we?''

[@tr909love]

This guy had no life really. The enthusiasm to play a single game with shitty graphics entire life it's plain stupid to me. He's lucky now he's making youtube videos which makes him money. Other then that he would be a complete loser as all other idiots who play this stupid ass game !

[@Gulliedoutbigup]

@@tr909love You sound like the type who wants to watch a game rather than play it. Also, not to mention, if people who play this game are idiots, what does that the people who hate the game, but are watching videos that are specifically about it? Personally I don't watch MLP videos on KZbin because I'm not into that. I don't play anymore, so technically your comment doesn't affect me, but if you're going to call someone an idiot for doing something, please make sure you're not doing something even stupider while talking shit. That normally helps with the argument.

[@tr909love]

@@Gulliedoutbigup Shit graphics and all you fighting for is fucking pixel stats, which blizzard gives you little by little so you go insane by their scarcity, nice way to get addicted. The graphics in this game look horrible, maybe they were better back in 2004, but new wow its shit

[@EnderGoku9001]

C Obreja your comment shit headass

[@EnderGoku9001]

C Obreja i mean shit. What the fuck is this kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmPIZJJupdGiiKs It got some people with one of them having disfigured titties. I mean what the fuck

[@ZRodent90]

Best thing about an easter egg is discovering them naturally. I was questing in redridge with a guildie back in early 2007. I was looking closly at the gnoll tents when i said to my pal, "that one patch looks like a face". he responded after looking closely at it himself, "that doesnt just look like a face, that IS a face!" i got a chill down my spine when he said that and it is now a favorite nostalgic moment for me. I also will always love killing those particular gnolls as a quick nostalgia trip.

[@mybox-]

2:04 Sweet Star Wars reference

[@ShutterSnapped]

MadSeason is a man of fine tastes with those prequel memes.

[@dacbiet]

He has the high ground when it comes to content

[@h3avenscent]

yessss

[@DonkeyPuncharillo]

/r/PrequelMemes would be proud

[@Immagonko]

IT'S TREASON THEN

[@maxamsil6325]

MadSeson is my guy- I consistently get that “rose tinted” super nostalgic feel from his content. I haven’t played since 2012 but the memories I have from it’s release until then have been revisited in my mind thousands of times- love it!

[@stevenwow2999]

Hell yea! I love watching these videos because they scratch my WoW itch that I have.

[@damiendavenport8899]

The Linken questline was one of my favorite easter eggs as a child. I discovered it on the old G4 channel through a show Cheat! Just reminded me of how the quests in classic, and even the easter eggs, were extensive. You actually went on a journey through the game. As opposed to now were you just kill 15 of a certain mob and collect items.

[@BungSpoot]

Linken logs

[@GoliothOnline666]

Linkens boomerang. The only ranged weapon a paladin ever had a chance of getting

[@NeoRaze99]

Yes! As a paladin tank in vanilla, people would never believe I could pull from range, until I took them into the dungeon and I showed them Linken's Boomerang. They were always left dumbfounded, haha!

[@rjbourne3463]

I find so much peace in your videos. After a long day at work I like to just sit at my computer, drink a nice cup of tea and enjoy your content and the nostalgia of many years of WoW. Thank you.

[@foist101]

"If you turn your music on-" Wait, you mean not everyone plays with music and ambience cranked to the max?

[@graveweaver954]

your videos are so bomb. so much vanilla nostalgia! youre like a legit vanilla expert, and all your videos are fantastic to watch while working- super calming voice. keep it up man!

[@IamYuto]

The videos of you talking about the past and the game-life in general remind me always how big and beautiful the world is.

[@mancamiatipoola]

WOW! Played WOW for a long time and watched a lot of related videos and i NEVER knew about the Linken quest line. TY so much for showing us these cool easter eggs! Please do another on of these. I love your videos, they are so chill, just like you and you have great background music too. TY!

[@METALRON]

Hey man, your STV Fishing Contest guide helped me finally win today! I was the last one to turn it in too, what a huge rush! Thanks a lot, really love your videos :D

[@astara5802]

METALRON 👍

[@Corlwow]

Also Challe is revisited in Warlords of Draenor, and we see what kind of person she really is.

[@Aja-e5j]

Actually that made her even weirder... Since Warlords is technically set in the past, right? Also how did that immortal troll lady came to that world in the first place, since she couldn't use the dark portal? OvO"

[@mathews1451]

+Lets Plays von Antonius it's set in the past yes, but it's an alternate timeline so who knows

[@123Sunwell]

Shape shifting sounds not difficult to witches.

[@kitsune9158]

Wait, what kind of person she really is? More then just eating chids and feed them to the dogs, then eat the dogs too.

[@MorbidBloodshed]

@@Aja-e5j we see her alternate timeline version, not the one from bc.

[@curajacaster]

I always love your videos, I watch them as soon as i can when theres a new one. The faery dragon circle is always my favorite easter egg so im glad to see it included :D

[@Pupcakee]

Ofcourse there will be easter eggs people have seen before, I've seen plenty of those videos and still I found something new here, with a very soothing voice added to it. Thanks! Thumbs up from me.

[@g1ngerbeerd809]

Madseason, I’m hungover and the best remedy is watching your amazing videos, genuinely my favourite KZbinr by a distance

[@Mr_vd_risin]

I already knew the most of them, but it's still fun and entertaining listening to you talking about it. Keep it up!

[@pewpewcat7679]

Thanks for making this video. I'm not currently playing but it's so fun to watch these because I did those quests back when.... Love your content

[@lolzzulet]

Nice video , didn't knew about half of this things , even though i watched quite few others youtubers that had videos on same topic . Good work !

[@begone1934]

There should be a sort of commemorative statue for Linken. A Linken Memorial, if you will.

[@anna6010]

Maybe a park, call it Linken Park

[@steveh629]

Been binge watching your channel all day. Love the content and keep up the great work.

[@r.j.6366]

Hey madseason I love your videos and have been watching for over a year now keep it up!!!

[@madseasonshow]

Thanks for the support! I appreciate it.

[@JeffreydeKogel]

Although I actually knew all of these easter eggs already, I really enjoy the way you showcase them. I always find your videos both entertaining and relaxing, so keep up the good work! ^^

[@NateSammich]

[@briana208]

As a vanilla ret pally, i used that trinket plus dynamite to transform into a ranged cc open world pvp master. Enemies never saw ranged attacks coming:)) amazing video and great correlation to the zelda series step by step!

[@lnt3ch]

Fantastic, and thanks for the video. Just discovered your channel and it’s a gold mine.

[@Wokiis]

The faded photograph is worth a lot of gold!!?? Holy moly, I think I got at least two characters with that photo in the bank.

[@tarocalypse]

In theory. VERY time consuming to sell. Your auction will likely expire over and over. Patience. One day it might sell. Use some strategy. You may get a really keen player willing to jump a few hoops to get over to your server. That in turn takes a bit to setup. So advertise on forums and anywhere you might be noticed by RP players and those seeking collectibles and "everything". I had an unobtainable cooking recipe which was absolutely needed for an Achievement, back in the day. Took me months to sell before I wised up. Largely because of my asking price. Eventually a player contacted me shortly after I resorted to the Blizzard forums. A few days later I had me my gold!

[@mistwrath5957]

Tarocalypse who said he had to use the auction?

[@mistwrath5957]

Tarocalypse it’s called WTS Spam easiest way

[@AndrewArsenal]

Great video. Really enjoyed the dragon song, never knew about that one!

[@darkmido6087]

Yes. More video off these! I love them. I love all your videos! And you got my hooked on WoW aigen :) havent played since cata.

[@xmissviolencex]

Is it bad I like to have your videos on while I'm playing Wow? 😂 Love all the little Easter Eggs you talk about and the throwback stuff. Keep up the awesome content!

[@shinuizabusa2180]

That small things let me enjoy the game even more. Great job Mad Season.

[@mihirmanohar]

I love you , your videos are very relaxing to watch and your tone is a bonus for the tired wow players . Keep it up man superb For the SUPERIOR Alliance!

[@christianvillasenor5084]

Im amazed on how much stuff there is to do in WoW. Im more amazed on how this guy remembers all of it lol. Great vid ✊

[@MooniFrog]

Dude the 8th one was awesome.. Thank god we are getting vanilla back..

[@potatisboi270]

Pretty amazing how a game can get worse through the years.

[@MooniFrog]

Potatis Boi i know its so sad ://

[@Conorp77]

Legion is the best the game has been in a long time, though

[@Nearthel]

Potatis Boi It's a common effect, it's named "nostalgia"

[@yankochoynev652]

Moon H the quest looks tideous

[@Kryptonic83]

I didn't know about many of these, thanks! Been loving going back to watch some of your videos for the nostalgia. Maybe it will keep me from resubscribing to wow haha.

[@Necropixel1]

A video about rare useless but expensives items for collectors could be interesting (i mean items like the Linken picture)

[@saintupid7034]

I never knew the ungoro crater linken quest was an easter egg because it was so easy to find

[@connorgrant6003]

just got flashbacks of doing that Linken questline in Un Goro

[@geekishgir]

Hee hee, love the unrepaired armour in red. Nice vid as always. I remember the Liken quest, and I remember I finally said screw this, I am not flying up and down again! Never finished it.

[@chriscros429]

Hello MadSeasonShow, For me as a German speaking person your voice and talkspeed is very good to understand. Keep it up. Your Content about WoW is great, thank you for your Work ;)

[@MikeTheCook]

I love those videos. Keep em up bro!

[@boontube860]

These videos are always fun little nostalgia romps for me. I used to really love finding all these easter eggs when playing WoW, and I had actually forgotten most of these. Very pleasant video.

[@dsatt57]

I didn’t realize the crystals were a Land of the Lost reference. I remember the show but never watched it much. I do remember the crystals being a big part of the zone though. And I think they reworked the fairie dragon circle. Seems like I read you used to have to do something to get them to spawn. There is also a small memorial in Hillsbrad near Dun Garok.

[@randymarshislorde]

Idk why but I LOVE that little intro music piece

[@pilgrim7709]

I Love that you used the FF VII music in the Background :3

[@rayanalmaimani4392]

Pilgrim what are their names?

[@gothicspoon]

To expand a little bit on Challe the orphanage troll: she is revealed to be a shapeshifter in WoD, as she first appears to be an orc, then transforms into her troll form when you're fighting her. We still don't know what her true form is, but she also confirms that she eats her victims. Those babies are goners. Great video nonetheless, I just wanted to add a bit for those who were curious !

[@vossrothgar]

This was pretty neat, i only really knew about Liken, he was pretty popular to go after back in Vanilla, gave tanks an extra the ability to range pull with his boomerang.

[@StiltonGaming]

Fun extra fact about Challe: in the WoD Nagrand, there is an female orc recluse named Challe living in a cave near the Throne of the Elements. She kills people and takes over their bodies to live forever. So maybe Challe is neither troll nor orc? Who knows :D

[@astara5802]

StiltonGaming that has been taken over from the real world, so it's a very special "easter egg"...

[@krumbers]

Prequel memes....that’s why I love u dude

[@BrodyYYC]

Mushrooms sometimes grow in rings like that in real life and when they do they're called fairy rings.

[@robertpeek9354]

Awesome. ..always love these. ..don't forget the monument in Hillsbrad :)

[@cpcombine]

Blizz put SO many in the game. My favorite was Clarice Foster, the nod to Jodie Foster's character "Clarice Starling" from Silence of the Lambs. Blade's Edge has R2-D2 and C3PO as R-3D0, there are Donkey Kong, Mario and Luigi, the grey item that looked like a fork named Dinglehopper dropped by crabs down near Sen'Jin in Durotar (before Cata) and now a shiny one dropped by gilgoblins in 1K Needles, Godzilla, Gamora, Mothra, Cthulhu, all the jungle animals from The Jungle Book, the list goes on. Pre-Cata there was an NPC at the Sepulcher in Silver Pine with the same name and same spelling as my cousin but that was just a coincidence.

[@sephiose]

Huh. Didn't know you could get the faerie ring music for the garrison jukebox. Thanks for pointing it out MadSeason!

[@jazeroth322]

I remember doing the linked quest chain over 10 years ago. Thanks

[@worgan744]

Seen most of these but your narration and music still made it enjoyable to watch

[@taurenchieftain4547]

I did not know about link quest line!!! Despite love soo much WOW, the legend of zelda is my favorite game! Would love to do that quest line!!!

[@b.chuchlucious5471]

The Plein Air paint tribute to the blizzard artist was a nice touch.

[@windchipmunk3665]

My demon hunter is dual wielding the linken sword of mastery. I love the model and it’s a reference to one of my favorite game series!

[@skootybazooms6140]

The recent nation wide commercial is the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen, I push through them to see the excellent content on this channel .

[@nicholaswoollhead6830]

'The Ungoro crater' is also a reference to the Ngoro'ngoro crater in northern Tanzania, which is a hub of biodiversity with hundreds of thousands of animals living within a stones throw of one another. I went once and I'll say that it's definitely worth it going to Tanzania just for that one experience.

[@PokeCao3]

I was rewatching this video for at least the one millionth time while playing WOTLK classic and when you started talking about Linken, I had literally just picked up the quest in Un'Goro crater lmao

[@DrkestShadow]

I always LOVE your videos. Makes me feel not so alone in my grinding of the fun and silly stuff. Plus reminds me of stuff I have hidden away on bank alts like those Faded Photographs. Had to go and look thru my dusty archives and found 2.

[@RecoveringLoLAddict]

didnt know about Linken one and I played WotLK for 3 years, plus another 4 in private servers. Well done Mad

[@ghoulunathics]

don't know if it was a part of a guest line or not, but at least back in the days when you activated a detect invisibility-item or spell in raven hill at duskwood it revealed you that all the houses were full of 55-56 level ghosts. holy shit it freaked me out when i tried it for the first time, and has chilled my bones since. lol really, what all of the odds i decide to try my warlock self-explode spell for the first time right in the raven hill inn=DD so glad i decided to try my detect invisibility-spell to see if it would reveal what had just killed me there. absolutely brilliant from the old blizzard, the best easter egg ever.

[@MegaChickenfish]

That Linken chain reminds me why I both loved and hated pre-cata questing. Being a rogue helped significantly once I realized I could hijack horde zepplins.

[@tancrediparisi7321]

@0:46 yesterday I was doing a quest in the Barrens involving the Quillboars. I just noticed that, just like gnolls, they have orc and tauren skin sewed in their tents

[@franciscooliveira8939]

loved to learn about the linken quest line :D

[@CrippledMerc]

I totally forgot about the Zelda questline! I used the sword and especially the boomerang on my rogue for quite a while because trinkets were hard to come by. I had help to actually do the quest because I wasn't leveled or geared enough to do it myself. I wish I would've held onto it for transmog. I don't even play much anymore except for when new expansions come out but still.

[@loskierek]

sorry for late reply, but another easter egg which was removed would be the HELP sign on top of grim batol which was a reference to one of the early warcraft books i believe (they arrive to the top of the mountain via a balloon there )

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

The Linken quest was a big one for paladins, because they had no ranged attacks back then, so getting the trinket was a way for them to pull mobs in dungeons and raids from range.

[@Gogmosis]

I only learned about it recently but there was an old Alliance quest referencing the Sullivan Ballou letter from the Civil War.

[@drathick9390]

Oh linken's quest line, The journey I had to make and the friends I had to find, to team up with to fight almost every element boss. In the end it was all worth that sweet sword and nice boomerang. It's feels such a crime to have it removed like all the other memorable quests in cataclysm.

[@OTPulse]

I like the Ulda low level dungeon was a tribute to one of Blizzards first games on SNES The 3 Vikings. Used to love that game as a kid and when I first did that dungeon it was so cool.

[@artagu]

I had no idea the faded photograph is so rare. I saved all kinds of odd nostalgic items and sure enough I looked in my bank on my oldest character and indeed I have the faded photograph!

[@jeffreyarnold2626]

there actually was a time once, it didn't last long, but after a patch, somebody in scripting made it possible to skin Tauren, and Trolls. it was another hunter i knew who told me. i tried it after a few gankers got nailed by someone, and it worked. there was quite a stink on forums, so blizz caught it, and unscripted it pretty fast. i figured it shoulda been possible to skin forsaken, since they can EAT people lol.

[@madseasonshow]

Lol that's hilarious...I wonder what type of hide they dropped?

[@jeffreyarnold2626]

i think it was light leather, or medium. that was a while back.

[@astara5802]

Jeffrey Arnold forsaken don't have skins, dream on...😜

[@jeffreyarnold2626]

asta ra sure they do, just not much of it. gotta be something holding that rattlecage together lol. da trolls dey pay big money for zombie skin, beware of da voodoo mon. think of a pre-broken in, distressed leather jacket. it even comes with the sleeves included :)

[@ZrodyApo]

I think that at one point early in vanilla, you could skin druids if they died in their bear and cat forms, but not sure if it's true or just a rumor

[@bucklax31]

Hey Mad, any chance you plan to make a video about the different tributes WoW has put in the game for deceased players? Always been interested in that, I think it’s awesome when Blizzard adds that

[@EagleFreestyle15]

You should include the giant rabbits in Mulgore. If you stick around long enough on an open ridge north west of thunderbluff you'll see giant rabbits appear and they fight eachother with various weapons.

[@veljkoarsic2458]

I liked your star wars reference xD it made me sub

[@tedlogan4867]

Old Man Hemming was another reference ( Ernest Hemmingway and his book The Old Man and the Sea) and he was the only vendor of the book for Expert Fishing. Also Hemmingway is more or less the Nesingwary quest givers in STV, with STV being a trove of literary references. 2 NPC's there being anagrams for J. D. Salinger (Sir S. J. Erlgadin) and Jack Kerouac (Ajec Rouak). There's plenty more poetry and classic literature references, probably the most well-known a nod to Tolkein being an early green ring called the "2 Ring" with the item description saying "Not as good as the 1 Ring".

[@deadfreightwest5956]

12:20 - I just got back from that site. I've heard of it, but never got around to visit it. Here's another aspect to it: After a short time Tirisfal stags and does arrive to observe the spectacle, and when it ends, they turn away and wander off into the forest. I highly recommend this to everyone, as it really is quite magical.

[@thenaoh5276]

Loved that Star wars reference at 2:04 lol

[@zaplame]

The smiley face beneath old Karazhan was a funny easter egg, which also made it possible to enter Kara without the key. Not for all races though.

[@lornekerzner5718]

made my sunday

[@Sainteve2]

#10 about the whispering faeries reminds me of an encounter in Hero’s Quest where you went into a circle of mushroom, did a dance, and faeries came. That’s what I remember at least.

[@SrgRamrod]

I am not sure if it is still in the game but there was another great memorial pre-cata in the Barrens. While dead if you ran to the top of the mountain nearby the crossroads, there was a random spirit on top of the mountain with I believe a name anagram for a fan that had passed.

[@TwilightPrince123]

Linken's questline is one of my regrets for not playing WoW earlier (started in Cata). As a huge Zelda fan, I would've loved going on that questline. Speaking of, there is still a Zelda reference there in Un'Goro. There's a grave to a large thunder lizard named Dadanga, a reference to the Dodongo enemies from the series. And his grave reads that he disliked smoke, which is a reference to a saying from Zelda 1.

[@leholie93]

Loooove this kind of stuff I'd love to see more Thanks for your videos!

[@spongebobonmolly]

Here's one I've never heard anyone mention before: in the outhouse in Dalaran, by the pet battle area, there's a naked man inside with a goblin pin up calendar

[@helloween76]

Corrupted Ashbringer and the stuff happening if you enter Scarlet Monestary with the weapon equipped! :D Great video btw

[@ChaBawbe]

Nice easter egg you made in an easter egg video with the number 7 titled "up". Do I get a cookie?

[@madseasonshow]

I'm all out of cookies, but here is an internet point!

[@thejontsk]

and the star wars sand referens :P

[@Ogny-dc4vm]

I have the Linken transmog :) since I did the quest way back. Awesome stuff.

[@mr-century]

I love you for that prequel joke

[@maciej567]

Knew most of them, but still pretty cool vid. Nice job

[@Unnash]

I would like to add one thing about Blazerunner. I was able to solo him without taking his aura. You would ask "How?" Simple enough. As I'm playing as Warlock, Curse of Exhaustion allowed me to kite him around whole mountain long enough, to allow Corruption kill him. It took some time, but I'm a patient person.
