Warcraft 3 (Hard): Curse of the Blood Elves 01 - Misconceptions

Playlist: • Warcraft 3 (Hard Diffi...
Warcraft 3 Reforged supposedly will alter the original Warcraft 3 campaigns, so let's blast through Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne on Hard difficulty before Reforged is released! These videos will contain all cinematics and dialogue along with explanations of the strategies I'm using as a semi-walkthrough.
I am nowhere near as experienced with these maps as the StarCraft 2 campaigns, so it won't be quite as polished of a playthrough, but we will succeed through Hard difficulty nonetheless!

I doubt that there would be ANY high-ranking human that remain on Lordaeron who is not a racist. Alliance as a whole was already fragile since the second war against the Orc. When Lordaeron and it's king was fallen, the Alliance is pretty much destroyed. Nobody cares about anyone else aside from themselves. Garithos only cares about human, Kael'thas only for the fellow Blood Elves and more...... Only those that fled to Kalimdor with Jaina are known to be more tolerate with other race as they've fought alongside the Orc and Night Elves. Sure, there's some non-racist remain on Lordaeron. But those are mostly peasents or foot soldier.

[@PerHummer]

Kael: We are late, Lord Garithos. We elves pride ourselves on punctuality. Garithos: It could not be helped, Prince Kael'Thas. You ran into a group of night elves from across the sea, and -- Kael: You are not interested in our fanciful excuses! We elves are here to serve the Alliance: thus, we will obey your commands to the letter! Is that clear? Garithos: Yes, Prince Kael'Thas. Kael: Now, the undead have begun a new offensive to retake Dalaran. Their primary strike force marched south through Silverpine, but you managed to halt its advance at the base of the mountains. Garithos: Your men are ready to fight, my friend! When shall we leave for the front? Kael: YOU will be leaving immediately. But my people will be staying here. Your scouts report that a second strike force may be heading this way from the east. You need us to repair the outlying observatories so that we can monitor that region. Garithos: But, my friend, you are warriors, not--' Kael: We have our orders, Lord Garithos. You trust that my elven ears heard them clearly enough. Move out! (Garithos leaves) Garithos: Insolent son of a... Let's get this over with!

[@TheKobasen]

And this, my friend is one of the reason why blood elves choose the horde instead of the alliance. Even the alliance themselves hate him...

[@xDinomanx]

Well I wouldn't say all of the alliance but yeah, having a racist leader in the alliance that full on neglected them/didn't provide assistance when they were fighting the scourge and then imprisoning them for getting help from another race. Put that altogether with the fact that their race was dieing due to losing their magic after what Arthas did at Quel'thalas, I don't blame them for joining the horde. They were treated like shit. At least Garithos got his comeuppance in the end. First: By being a hypocrit and forging an alliance with the undead/forsaken to take back Lordaeron and then second: Getting killed by said allies he just made.

[@CIAinTaiwanAndUkraine]

@@xDinomanx it was pretty clear that Garithos intended them to die at the hands of the Scourge, Kael was just lucky he was saved by Tyrande and Maiev, then aided ships by Vashj, then aided personally by Vashj, then broke out of the Violet Hold by Vashj Even Magni Bronzebeard hates Garithos

[@jorge56177]

Imagine going all the way from quel'thalas to hillsbrad just to be treated like shit by a human. Kael had so much patience.

[@unkindled6410]

he was desperate actually, he REALLY needed more aid to his cause and had nowhere to go, quel'thalas still had some elvs tryings to keep/retake some parts of their land from the undead, but they were fighting a losing battle, khael wanted to get the alliance to help them eventually, but he was stuck with the biggest ass that was trying to retake lordareon. i wonder if any of the paladin remnants, which yeah, got killed later by arthas, would treat him any better (i think one of the bases in that mission was elven) and perhaps with his forces they could have survived or tried something diferent instead of fighting arthas head on. hell, imagine khael meeting silvanas after she broke free from arthas control.

[@aleksandarvil5718]

High Elf Priests = white cloth with blue glowing parts and blue eyes Blood Elf Priests = edgy black-red robes with red aura and white//green eyes

[@unkindled6410]

demonic magic does that to you. also the black could possibly be some sort of sign of grief considering their lore.

[@Caldaris]

Ahh Garithos. Pretty much the most hateable character in Warcraft 3 in my opinion. Though tbf he does has one of my favourite lines in a much later mission. While I doubt there are spoiler rules on this series, I'm not sure, so I won't mention it until that mission comes up.

[@hazzmati]

Do mention it I've played this game multiple times :D

[@darthpanzer]

Garithos is comically mean, I'm guessing the writers were getting lazy and just made him bad so that they can justify the rest of the storyline. I think they even retconned him in WoW.

[@grantarmstrong9648]

I mean he basically is just racist for the sake of being racist so that we can all be satisfied when we finally watch him get killed by Varimathras later in the scourge campaign.....or no wait correction gets killed and then devoured by Ghouls.

[@masterexploder9668]

I would personally prefer him as a character with a much more grey personality. He retakes Dalaran from undead, so mages can rebuilt it and use it against Lich King in Northrend. He sends Kael and his elves to rebuild Observatories, because scouting is important to plan a strategy. It's weird that Kael doesn't know it, considering he's at least few hundred years old. Garithos also takes his units to fight his own battle. Kael doesn't bother to build a new bridge or conjure a magic bridge, instead he treats with Nagas, who were known to raid shores and are servants of Old Gods.

[@jeffreyhoon]

@@darthpanzer Can't remember what's been retconned about him sadly. All I remember was something along the lines of his family getting killed while there were no other allies around at the time they werekilled (which is the drawves and elves) and he developed the mentality of; The other races are meant to serve the humans or something along those lines.

[@stalwartarjuna]

Easily my favorite Wc3 campaign by far.

[@unkindled6410]

yeah, i really like the blood elves concept, i just wished they had a proper tech tree and some unique stuff that werent just copy paste from night elves + the regular units present on human faction (maybe they could have had the actual human race have the human creeps like the enforcers, wizards and such instead of the elven ones meanwhile the blood elves get the priests and such.). they could have at least let them have the ROC Ballistas instead of Glaive Throwers later.

[@Draeckon]

Huh. I didn't know you could dodge the AI base trigger like that. Neat! Also didn't know about that robe of the magi.

[@dimbasz]

You don't really need to build your TH and activate an undead AI since repairing the observatories cost lumber only. I guess the devs didn't even consider someone to do so much min-maxing)

I always found it bizarre how the expansion that so greatly expanded the elf roster, and focused on blood elves in its campaign, was actually all about them splintering from the Alliance of Lordaeron. Doesn't that mean that the 1v1 Human roster is basically not even canon?

Elvenkind is not a monolithic society. There are those that still loyal to the Alliance, and there are those that pledge loyalty to Kael'thas. Even within Alliance and Horde there are factions whose membership aren't necessarily dictated by the race segregation.

[@stevenrusch6341]

The non-canon sources named Garithos' faction as the "New Alliance", but then Blizzard renamed them the "Alliance resistance", which I find dumb. New Alliance sounds better because it conveyed a new beginning for everyone to start all over, but it also conveyed an irony to its name and its short-lived purpose in the game. "Alliance resistance" is daft because any Alliance army can easily be rendered as "resistance" whoever they face, and Garithos' army is nothing but a renegade faction vying for human supremacy and one responsible for shooting down any chances the Blood Elves have for redemption on behalf of King Anasterian's arrogance and withdrawal of Quel'Thalas from the Alliance of Lordaeron. As for the Blood Elf vs Garithos' Elite Guard Tower Defense, I find it terrible that Blizzard had not only made up a daft name for an army of suicide bombers but also not thought up a splinter faction of humans rebelling against Garithos' for his role on the secret level The Crossing.

[@blackfistdeath1]

You may want to look into using banish as well. It effectively removes a foe from combat, and causes him to take extra damage from flamestrike.

[@AnimeCritical]

It can also be used to save allies and it doubles the healing too. So if a unit is low, and is being healed, healing it while banished will be twice as fast.
