[@eyriewow4297]

I have a feeling that the cinematic somehow ties into Zandalari becoming an allied race since Talanji speaks about "becoming part of the world again".

[@Nobbel87]

Oooow yeahhhh that makes a lot of sense!

[@gulver8693]

Yeah, I'll buy that theory.

[@wymanmanderly551]

it's probably the ending of the Zandalari allied race questline.

[@Somedokin]

Once the last LFR wing opens we'll get the quest to kill G'huun.

[@alenaneko]

it does make sense, but Kul'Tiras joins Alliance at the end of a quest chain about saving Jaina, so I think this Horde quest and cinematic will more likely appear sooner, with ulocking G'huun in LFR.

[@Playalllinesxxx]

"He loves slapping us around with his beastly weapon"

[@burningisis]

I do have to agree with you Nobbel that it would have been nice for the Alliance to get some little breadcrumb into Uldir. Because as an alliance player... why exactly am I supposed to go into this titan facility? Noone let me even KNOW that there's a titan facility on Zandalar. I know there are blood trolls, I know there are sanlayn, I know about a blood prince and that I dont like him very much, for some reason. But from an alliance perspective I feel incredibly sheltered from this plotline. And it irks me.

[@Polomance862]

There's pretty much no reason for the Alliance to invade Uldir, as I 100% believe that canonically; the Alliance do not involve themselves in Uldir. The blood troll plotline is completely Horde content and the Alliance don't really do much of anything with them. They just try to make allies in Zandalar. (Enemy of my enemy is my friend style.) but horrifically discover their emissaries are killed, drained, and even betrayed by a commander who fell for G'huun's promises. Beyond that... They are not treated to discover the old god. Which leaves me to believe the Alliance do not touch Uldir.

[@TheTournesoul]

branns wants to push buttons, that's pretty much why the alliance is there.

[@NanoLT]

I mean the start of the Nazmir section in the war campaign has us clash with G'huun's minions right from the start. The only problem is they didn't add some kind of dialogue. We know Brann likes titan stuff, we know Bran was there and we know Bran was looking into G'huun after our encounter with his minions in Nazmir.

[@Aerensianic]

Or that as a horde character I had no idea the sanlayn were working for us now apparently until I saw Nobbel's video covering the content.

[@karahtar]

It's true. Blizzard got extremely lazy for this "questline" into G'huun. I would've enjoyed more going into the Blighted Lands first... Perhaps they could've released the two raids at the same time, but faction gating them for a couple of weeks? After all, they DID change the way World First Achievements work

[@MrKarnator]

Wait! Uldir has Archives of Musical Playlists and Images? Wow, did not see that coming.

[@gannonkendrick9343]

In hindsight, it kind of bothers me what they did with Zul. They could have easily created a character to fit the same role, and I don't think Zul's trajectory into a blind servant of G'huun makes much sense with his prior characterization. Or at the very least, I don't think it makes much sense for them to just throw away a major lore character like that.

[@amitamaru]

Sadly, it wouldn't be the first time.

[@a_brick_wall4872]

[@luddsen8314]

[@Nobbel87]

Do they make mention of that ingame? I checked it out and the data files labeled it as an Aqir, but does anything else?

[@luddsen8314]

Nobbel87 I don’t know. I read it on Wowpedia so I thought that it had already been confirmed.

[@jasonjohns9907]

Isn't the General outside Yogg's room the same? I've only heard the NPC's call it a "C'Thraxx", and I don't know if that is just the vague term they give to all Old Gods Generals, but I thought there were various types, basically one for each Old God, though Aqir is a new name to me... So maybe he's the same as the C'Thraxxi that served C'Thun or Yogg but the name is irrelevant? Just a General Genus and names are only a matter of knowing which served whom, and not some new species of Void Creature.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

G'huun's appearance along with the white/red stuff all over the walls is based on a REAL mushroom (the bleeding heart fungus). They duplicated the look almost exactly. The real mushroom is really creepy looking. You'd expect it to be deadly...but while unappetizing and nasty tasting, it's not poisonous at all.

[@Zabwow88]

This was awesome, would of been cool to see the horde version moments along side with Brann But all the same very awesome video and yeah a big boss like this affecting the entire continent of Zandalar should of received a cinematic or cutscene /quest to wrap up the story

[@Xerocoo]

Here is my question, why did the keepers keep Ghuun alive? With the Old Gods, they were so massive and intertwined with Azeroth, killing them would be catastrophic. But Ghuun is just a oversized slug. If mortals could beat him, surely the Titan keepers whom have part of the Titian essence themselves can destroy a creature with ease. It makes no sense... or does it. The final death rattle, where he says he has put himself in us (that's what she said) ...maybe we have a dormant infection that will shatter the bonds of N'zoth and kick off the Hour of Twilight.... dun dun dun!

[@Xerocoo]

snakex555 before they sealed him away.

[@Nobbel87]

Like Snake said, they thought G'huun would be the key to cleansing the infection.

[@Xerocoo]

Nobbel87 kinda hard to keep that goal in sight with Loken putting the Keepers in disarray. Maybe that be another reason

[@varnisa]

Him being weaker is the exact reason he was kept alive. It wouldn't take planetary annihilation to kill him, and his being an artificial old god gives them a more controllable subject to study than the actual old gods.

[@Xerocoo]

varnisa yes... but after the Cataclysm, after the second seal was destroyed :.. why didn't they just cut their losses and just kill the damn thing

[@howlingzangetsu]

[@theravyneffect3610]

Someone must have pointed this out already but that cut scene is triggered by doing the second part of the Vol'jin questline, which is just a quest you can pick up on the Horde side. You can trigger it even by completing the quest in LFR, so it's available to any difficulty.

[@dr.arielfinch4316]

I found it odd that MOTHER would just tell Brann how to destroy G'huun, but then I reran some of the dungeons/raids with him being recognized by Titan machinery and realized he's practically a skeleton key when it comes to any Titan facility. Or, in less meta terms, being recognized by other facilities and constructs may have marked him as 'authorized' personnel. Plus he's a dwarf, so there's that.

[@JamailvanWestering]

I’m starting to think that the titans had something with the word uld- in their name 😜

[@GamerMommy]

It's just a reference to "old". Just to indicate that this is not made by the younger races inhabiting Azeroth.

[@glephnir726]

I have heard a thory and Uld is the titan languages word for Azeroth, so all the facilities starting with Uld will let the speaker know what planet they are talking about. And that theory states that Ant is the name for Argus so since Antorus was were Arguses world soul lived, then UIdorus which was mentioned in game, is where we will find Azeroths world soul

Lol, Nobs, if you're not careful people are not going to want to carry you anymore 😋

[@KisiroKitsune]

I don't think G'huun gave Zul his visions. Zul had been having them since he was a child, and the power is called the Sight in a Zuldazar quest which is the same name for Velen's power. He's also not the only troll that has them, like there was his student. And lastly, the Old Gods warning him about the Cataclysm which was their plan wouldn't make any sense.

[@glephnir726]

I'm not saying they would have given him his visions, how ever it does make a bit of sense to get him a vision of the cataclysm. He would go around warning the trolls about the Cataclysm, no one listens to him, it hits and throws the empire into chaos and then Zul can show up and take a position of power, claiming he knew this would happen all along. Though in the opening stuff for Zandalar it seems some of the trolls mock him because the cataclysm didn't do as much damage as he seemed to claim it would.

I have to wonder what was g'huun before being accidentally created. if the keepers experimented on other loa is it possible that g'huun was at one point a loa mainly the loa of parasites food for thought

[@Polomance862]

The old gods, in and of themselves are parasites. So what they tried to do was replicate the concept of an Old God, and research how to destroy it. They used material and the general purpose of old gods to discern its use. And perhaps find a solution to kill an old god without harming the planet. Much like a tick, the old gods feed on planets. When they ripped Y'saarj from Azeroth, it caused immense damage, and a lingering curse to Azeroth's frame. Which is why they sealed the Old Gods. Much like if you carelessly rip a tick from your body, you risk being infected by Lyme disease. One has to learn how to treat removal, or how to contain the damage. Which, at the time unfinished.

[@jshadowhunter]

I mean I could understand it with Alliance since G'hun is just a footnote in their storyline, but for the Horde it's central to the entire story of Zandalar! Everything that's happend during the Horde questing has lead up to this point and at the climax... nothing!??!?!
