World of Warcraft SECRETS (Elwynn Forest)

[@FullMotionVideos]

u/Gilthoniel_Elbereth on Reddit let me know that the quest for involing Surena Caledon was to learn to summon the Voidwalker, not succubus! Thanks for the correction! :)

[@joshstraub6972]

nice

[@matthewlawton9241]

MOAR! Every zone nao!

[@charlayned]

What is the what looks to be an elven camp above Stormwind? It's interesting, I wish I could find out why it's up there.

[@SethEverman]

i like that 2 years after posting all this quality content it suddenly starts showing up all over our home pages. congratulations and good job on the videos (and thumbnails)

[@verihimthered2418]

You watched that exploring the coast lines?

[@camacdonnell1]

Wait are we to believe that Seth Everman is a... nerd?

[@shomy520]

yh lmao, i just got this playlist on my home page

[@sonofa_blank_7115]

shut up seth everman

[@xin-xvi]

Elwynn is such an iconic zone, I never get tired of making new characters and questing through it.

[@Sanguivore]

Agreed. To this day it remains my favorite zone in the game.

[@QuiGonGinger]

The quality here is just incredible, and your voice is something I could listen to all day! Fantastic videos, keep them coming!!!

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you so much!

[@Clones2011]

Sounds like text to speech to me

[@burlyboomer4283]

It WAS possible to reach the Mountain Pass in vanilla from the Burning Steppes. You had to mount up and jump onto a small spot where the cliff was just barely short enough to get on top of. The fish school gave peacebloom, which makes me believe it was created as a prototype.

[@Klipix1437]

5:00 Underfoot is the cat that chases the dog at blacksmith in Arathi Basin

[@FullMotionVideos]

And this is what I get for not ever playing the PvP aspect of this game lol Thanks for pointing this out! :)

[@Klipix1437]

@@FullMotionVideos Haha no worries. Great video, subbed bud Edit: Thinking about it, how is he in a grave and Arathii basin

[@FullMotionVideos]

@@Klipix1437 Again, I am pretty unfamiliar with the PvP, but doesn't Arathi take place before cataclysm? OR it could be named after the same real-world pet like I speculated here in the video?

[@vtr0104]

I don't know if it counts as an Easter Egg, but the structures you find in Elwynn, like the houses where the bandits live, the Cat Lady, the Orchard, are modelled after the tiny farms you built in WarCraft 3 to provide you with additional population cap. It now has a blue, tiled roof (I assume this was added to reinforce the Alliance identity , compared to the red-roofed Horde buildings), instead of the old straw roof, but the white walls, the attic window over the main door, and even the chimney with one slightly shorter funnel are still there.

[@ryoga5000]

The westfall_farm.wmo asset uses the straw roof.

[@Litepaw]

I just realized that even though I've only ever played horde, i really appreciate the design of alliance stuff. Especially human. Oh and a random thing. Warcraft humans somehow feels like imperial UK to me.

[@djmeowth]

Loved this video. It's inspired me to return to WoW and take my time leveling, look out for all the details that you miss zoomed all the way out and beelining from quest to quest. In Eastvale Logging Camp you pointed out a doghouse without a dog. Toward the center of the camp near the gryphons you can often see a little girl running around with a tiny pug, who may be the doghouse's tenant. Can't wait to watch more of your stuff!

[@notvillain]

Thanks you so much for these beautiful, niche, and in depth looks at wow zones, I wish you could do them all!

[@TheDarthpsi]

I remember the quest in Wotlk, you had to visit very powerful npcs (including Alexstrasa) which all granted their life-giving powers to heal Bridenbrecker, but still he was beyond any attemps of cure, and perished anyway, and Lord Tyrion Fordring concludes by saying that life is this way, and not everyone gets to be brought back (given that wow has resurrection for all player heroes, making us more powerful than the npcs). For me it was a very memorable and touching quest, and now I know why.

[@baggeba]

Great video! I will be sure to check out the rest of them. I am not sure if it was mentioned yet. But the mirror lake drain at 16:00 was part of a BfA Horde quest. The imprisoned Saurfang escaped Stormwind City through the sewer and that drain. Together with a dark ranger the player character then tracks Saurfang down.

[@groovesy]

Came to add this too! It is a sewer exit. A bit gross, but doesn’t look too bad. Saurfang escapes Stormwind through this near the end of BFA to escape detection by SI:7 and Sylvanas loyalists. With a dark ranger helping us track him we chase the trail all the way into the redridge mountains

[@Wyr3d]

Was about to add the same lol The mirror lake chest was part of a questline in BFA - i hasn't really been there that long. I dunno if the questline is still active, but it was Horde side so these Alliance scum prolly have no idea XD

[@slappy420usa]

Excellent narration, well edited and good use of music and ambience. Great stuff Mr.Motion thank you for sharing it with us.

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you so much, and thank you for leaving so many comments and feedback! It's appreciated! :) I hope you enjoy what I got in store for you guys

[@Zo_So96]

Another cool one - The Stonefield Farm and the Maclure Farm in southwestern Elwynn Forest is a reference to The Hatfield and the McCoy fued of the late 1800's. Bascially, two families, The Hatfields (Stonefields) and the McCoys (Maclures) are in a bitter feud, which is actually also said to be the case by one of the Stonefield family members during a quest!

[@Seabersify]

I know, just started watching these vids though, hmm, I thought it was the whole Romeo and Juliet thing, considering the invisibility potion questline with the 2 families

[@Zo_So96]

@@Seabersify Oh yeah, there are elements of both tales in there for sure. Cool little Easter egg regardless 🙂

[@kushkitten]

30:17 At the mountain pass... During Vanilla my flight path dismounted and I got dropped there. There was a fishing pool there that you could fish Peacebloom from. The water surface was "unfinished" so you could see where it suddenly stopped. There was a really deep ravine randomly behind the water too and if you fell there you would need to HS or die to get out. I think I might have screenshots from it.

[@naleck2922]

You actually could enter from that location via slowfall with a bit of out of bounds travelling.

[@NorthshireGaming]

So I've only just discovered your channel, and I've watched a couple so far, man these are so good... I wanted to add some information on the house kind of northeast of Elwynn, which you mentioned near the end of the video, as it pertains to Vanilla. Me and some friends used to go around the world prior to Cataclysm and break into every single incomplete area we could. We did this by my playing a Deathknight, and my friend playing a Priest. What we'd do is try and use various methods of wall climbing, and carefully timed jumps, slow falls, and speed increases to get into any and all incomplete areas we could possibly find. This location in Elwynn being one of them. I don't remember exactly how we scaled this location, as it was clearly not meant for players to get up there, but I'd noted that there is a fishing pool right there in the water when I'd fly by, and assumed surely there must be a way. The DK and Priest combo worked best for us because when we couldn't go any further, we'd exploit a bug with the way that Fear worked at the time. When we got as far as we could go, we'd start a duel with each other, my friend would fear me, which would almost always have me running up any and all surfaces away from him. Once Fear stopped, providing I didn't move, I could deathgrip my friend up to my position and we'd repeat this process as necessary. Once we got up there, we went down into that little house near the pool of water, and naturally I had to fish the location to see what came up. When cast in the fishing spot (the water circle that shows up in some of the footage you showed), you could and would ONLY fish up Peacebloom, one of the lowest level herbs in the game. There were no fish that could be caught there though, and this was the only fishing pool in the game to have such a loot table. I couldn't possibly begin to tell you why Peacebloom is what you fished up there, or why there was a fishing pool there in the first place. On a related note, this property of Fear that caused it to make players run up (often) unscallable walls or mountain sides has been fixed/removed, I'm pretty sure it's possible to get there still on Classic. However, I have not returned there since the relaunch of Classic, so I can't 100% confirm if it's still accessible, and perhaps most importantly, whether the fishing pool is still there, as Blizzard has been known to fix unintended glitches and bugs from the various Classic eras. But man you're tempting me to go find out... Anyways, just thought you might be interested to know that those last locations have been accessed before, and it was arguably one of my fondest memories of Vanilla through Wrath.

[@torrarosa7064]

I wish I'd discovered your channel earlier, though I've stop playing halfway through WoD, this content hits right in the feels. The years I've spent in Azeroth will forever be imbedded in my memories. Elwynn was not just for the Vanilla and Classic players. For many years, every so often I'd make a new alt just to play lvl 0 to 40 content. Elwynn, Westfall, Redridge, Duskwood and STV, occasionally venture to Wetlands and Theramore Isle. And always running a leathal Rogue. Then delete and do it again. Outstanding Post 🤩. For the Alliance.

[@SyvernSycor]

The lore behind the dude who battle cancer adds so much more depth to the chain of you attempting to rescue that dude in Northrend. Especially with its conclusion (no spoilers. Go do the quest if you haven't before. It's really fun and well told). This is why I love these kinds of "Tours" to the making of the games I love. You discover a few, more in-depth, human elements to the game's content. Even though these games are essentially "Toys" for Consumers to enjoy, they are constructed by real people and Artists, who love to stamp little elements of their own real life experiences. I love that.

[@ImpTheSimp]

You deserve more viewers this is good unique content. A real refreshment from what we usually get.

[@Bonddo]

Definitely do more of these. Great video. I watched without looking at the channel, and expected you to have a much higher subscriber count. Keep the videos coming : D

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you so much!

[@katiecauser]

Just stumbled across your videos. I'm DMing a D&D 5e game for my friends set in Azeroth, and I'm homebrewing the world myself, trying to stay as faithful as possible to the game. Your videos are making life so easy for me planning various encounters and world building for my players to find and enjoy. Thank you so much for delving so deep into virtually every aspect of these memorable areas!

[@jorickthekek2660]

These videos deserve so so so so so many more views what in the world. Amazing work. PLEASE keep making these videos. you deserve to blow up for your hard work of running around WoW zoomed in and looking for 2 pixel small skulls in the grass. I couldn't imagine

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you so much! The channel is still new, and I am super happy with how it's going. Don't worry, these videos are going to be a regular thing. Trying for at least 1 a month, 2 ideally, alongside the other content I make. AND I want to do Easter Egg videos for other, similar games! And I must confess, though I do research all of these, I am don't discover *all* of the secrets myself. Those skulls would have gone under my radar if they had not been pointed out to me by other articles I found online! So, credit to the other WoW Nerds out there lmao

[@Awesomeuserdude]

I'm super happy I stumbled upon this series! I used to LOVE exploring WoW back in the Classic/Vanilla days, and this brings back so many memories! I remember trying to find ways to get to the inaccessible waterfall, and I can't actually recall if I ever did or not. My gut tells me I did, but I don't know if I'm misremembering or not. Regardless, awesome video, I highly look forward to the rest of the series.

[@thewanderer_ii]

Best part about Goldshire in present WoW is that with War Mode on it's empty, even on Moonguard Which makes it a great hangout spot for rp'ers who dont want to deal with the usual crowd of that inn xD

[@OMEGAJAXx]

Great video. Film style and quality footage, nicely spoken, and good interesting content and facts mixed with personal little touches referencing your own experiences. Can’t wait to see more of these for different zones and things!

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thanks so much! Excited to see what you think about the stuff coming up :)

[@Rivelin]

Excellent work! I really enjoyed the content and appreciated you going into the backstory of these little secrets. Please continue making this content, you make it very enjoyable to learn about more about WoW.

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you!! And I will. I had a ton of fun making this, and I know there are other zones in WoW with a TON of even cooler stuff :)

[@greenbeagle13]

Here I am in 2022 still playing WoW, which probably saved my life, or certainly my sanity over some rough years, and I am LOVING these videos. Thank you for these...!!

[@Avelphina]

I honestly thought this was a Hayven Games video for a hot minute. The video quality is -astounding- and I'm only 43 seconds in. Can you do a video on Azuremyst Isle or Bloodmyst Isle? That'd make the Draenei in me super excited.

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you!! I appreciate it 😊 I am going to hold off a minute and see if they announce TBC Classic before jumping into those, but I absolutely will be taking a look at those areas! Eversong Forest and Hellfire Peninsula too

[@slappy420usa]

Terrapis was my first rare Hunter pet. Finding it and training it started me on the path of pet collecting hunter pets, a path I am still walking 8 years later.

[@kinanatto257]

I watched this cuz i started playing wow since day one.... Man you brought my memories back from 2004. This game was my sanctuary, so bad it has become so bad i had to quit it 2 months ago,,, tbh i was thinking about quitting it many moons ago, since WOD, then legion came,,, i gave it a chance, then BFA, shadowlands, and now this??? World of grindcraft... Still i sometimes sleep listening to the music of Elwynn forest. Thank u, thank you very much for the nostalgia. U made my day friend.

[@folk_.]

This kind of videos are the ones who makes me enjoy the game more than I can ever do.

[@danielegion7487]

I’ve not played wow in years but your video helped me go on a nostalgia rollercoaster ride ! Loved the edits and the passion in the story telling! Awesome!

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thanks for watching dude, glad I could help you recapture some of that nostalgia :)

[@Knight-of-Sarcasm]

Haven't dived before into the comments yet, but one of my favorite hunter pets is here, Bushtail! He's just east of the murloc encampment between the river to Duskwood and below the embankment near the tower on the road. There are lots of wolves around him, but he's the only blue fox.

[@Teeziad]

One of the best WoW videos I have seen! Amazing job

[@SadPandaLoves]

I know this video is old, but thought I would point out that Underfoot is a cat that spawned at the blacksmith in Arathi Basin when captured by the horde. I use to chase it around on my rogue a lot waiting for people to attack it.

[@pachovazquez5607]

cool video, I knew (almost) everything about Elwynn forest but it is always nice to go back to where the journey began, great job!

[@NinaFelwitch]

31:00 You could actually get up there by bugging up the hills. In early versions of Vanilla, you could get up steep hills by walking in a specific way. That's how we got up on the walls of Stormwind and other inaccessible places, like the Ironforge Airfield. I remember that on Silvester 2005 my friends and I got up the walls of Stormwind to watch the fireworks, when a GM teleported next to us and asked us to leave. Good old times.

[@ayochill9716]

Your content is top tier man can’t wait to go through all of your World of Warcraft content! :) I’m a brand new player and trying to learn as much as I can about the settings and lore!

[@thepreambull4320]

Really nicely done, I've often thought I'm one of a select few who truly appreciate the genius (or accidental genius) of these world builders. I think it's the D&D player in me that's always looking for a story or a reason for things to exist in WOW. glad I've found your videos, they're inspiring and actually may lead to me one day eventually making that WOW roleplay book! Please stop by and say hi to us over on our channel if you have the time, im certainly looking forward to the next easter egg video. You've tapped a vein here mate :)

[@Ouchfish]

I just found your channel, and never realized how much I needed these types of videos in my life.

[@akuunparador5604]

You could actually get up into that mountain pass even after cataclysm. Not sure if you can still get there on foot, but there was some spots on the terrain that you were able to run up just outside the stormwind castle. Only found out because of some Rpers who were druid guilds roleplaying cats from the Warrior series of Errin Hunt. They showed me a lot of places you'd normally never think to reach by foot actually quite possible. Jumping from the windows in the courtyard in the left wing of the keep, and making your way to shore, you could run up there; zig-zagging up the cliffside. You'd know you got to the right place as you'd find a small clearing with a few sparse trees with a small path leading up to the home of Tyler and his robotic sheep. Jumping down into the water below would gain you access to the river and (not too sure what's up there now) a small dock area with a empty cottage. Only way down from the area was to follow the river back the way you came and go down the waterfall into the zone below. Another place was in Dun Morogh, that large clearing to the far, far west of the map past gnomergan. It was a bit of a run and you had to go up and over several mountains, home to (back then, not sure now) home to only a few wandering goats. You'd reach it from the poison fields where that trogg killing quest was. Inside was fairly empty except for a poor dwarf who had been shooed up a tree by an angered bear.

[@akuunparador5604]

There were a few others, that were technecally fly over spots, one in the Stonetalon Mountains, if i remember right. I'd have to see if they were still accessable by foot. Note, that all of these you didn't need any fancy tools such as a demon hunter's long jump, mage teleport. Just time, knowledge of the path, and effort.

[@ILostTheGaming]

This randomly showed up on my homepage, really great video. I can't wait to binge all of these tomorrow

[@ravendelacrux]

I already know a few spooky details, references and stories about the same zones of WoW but it’s awesome rediscover them with your perspective and narrative. Thanks 💚🤍💀

[@xXDiceyShippingXx]

I got this video recommend to me a couple of days ago and I've been binging through your WoW content since. Mad respect to you, I can see lots of care is put into your videos and it really shows. Hope to see more of your stuff soon! Especially loved your deep dives into some of the Quests, the roleplaying was great. You have a new fan. :)

[@apetit8687]

Great production on this, I love this. Whatever you create, I will watch!

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you!! I hope you enjoy what I have coming in the pipeline :)

[@EazyDozer]

In the formerly inaccessible area pre-flying, you could actually get up there using priests levitate. There was a fishing pool that was infinite and only spawned peacebloom.

[@daglotro216]

It was also accessible from the Burning Steppes, though only the valley floor (and the higher valley with the dwarves fighting the dragon). The house above the big waterfall was inaccessible.

[@TheOmegaheyhey]

These videos are very enjoyable. Well written, and yes the soothing voice helps, lol. I'm also glad you have some common sense and don't go into conspiracy theories too fast, by being aware that some assets are just present because the world builders thought it looked pretty/didn't think too much of it. Also iirc : The drain at the bottom of the waterfall was added for the Saurfang quest, the one in which you have to track him down with a dark ranger

[@savingthewow5792]

So glad I found this channel! This is such a great way to revisit the lore of each zone.

[@cajintexas7751]

I can't tell you how much I enjoy these videos. I would love to see more featuring the other zones in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms.

[@kozmosis3486]

I'm a wrath baby and been playing wow since 2010. I really enjoyed this video and subbed after watching. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Very nice work!

[@Aurimortia]

Eventually gor here... your voice is great and mixed so good, it captured me right away. I love this kind of content related to wow secrets or removed stuff, so I know most of the facts, but watching and listening your video was great

[@DiamondOrPoor78]

You need way more recognition and subscribers this channel is great! Love the effort!

[@lunayoshi]

Great video! I'm glad it popped up on my recommendations. I'm sad though. I know Blizz put epic amounts of time into Elwynn because it was the human starting zone, but I don't think they had a chance to be that creative with the other ones. Maybe I'm wrong. I just heard somewhere that after they completed Elwynn Forest, they realized they weren't going to be able to put so much time into zones if they were to release the game on time, so they later skimped on small details. They were right -- they didn't finish Silithus or Azshara by their release date. I think they go into more detail in the World of Warcraft Diary.

[@MILHARDN1985]

How can i found this video now?! This is bringing so many memories about Elwyn forest. Aaah its already 13 years since i left the world of azeroth. It's not the same anymore, the people i know. The feeling.... Miss those days

[@mattwo7]

19:42 Nah, it's probably from when The Alliance of Lordaeron reclaimed the forest and the ruins of the original Stormwind City, doesn't make any sense for it to have been there while the Old Horde was in control. Also the First War Orcish Catapults (I have to specify because the humans also had catapults in the First War, but these were replaced by ballistae made in collaboration with the High Elves in the Second War) had a different design, with a giant skull in front instead of spikes. The modern horde formed in the Third War also adopted the Second War design in WoW for some reason (though the ones they used in the Third War also have a slightly different design with a banner and two tusks in front, which may have been based on the use of tusks on the Warthog jeeps in Halo: Combat Evolved). They would also make a variation of the Second War design later on in WoW.

[@GISP]

The Crazy Cat lady had an Escort quest in the early days, where you protected her from the bandits and stuff. Seems like the kept in the bandits chatter as they are tied to the NPCs and not the quest.

[@mheald111]

Fantastic video. Just happened to stumble across it in my feed, but have subscribed and can’t wait to watch more!

[@tetrabolt5174]

I miss the Classic class quests it made me feel more class identity and I had a lot of fun doing I hope they include something similar throughout leveling in the future

[@FullMotionVideos]

Same, I miss the old class fantasy quests! I think Blizzard won't put them back in these older areas, but I'd love to be wrong about that

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

I’ve been wanting a series like this for Final Fantasy XIV for like a decade now. We used to have something kinda similar a long time ago but no one has really taken his place since he stopped.

[@gogotrololo]

12:16 been playing this for decades, havent noticed this, now i will never be able to unsee it

[@melibellu1271]

Awesome video! That sewer grate under the waterfall leads out of stormwind! Varok Saurfang used it to escape stormwind in BFA, i think?

[@Easyflux]

Fun fact about exploding sheep; In Warcraft 1, if you tapped the sheep enough times, they'd explode. It was a secret for the longest time, and people were dumbfounded when they found out. I wonder if Tekton the mechanical sheep is a reference to that. You also have an homage to the exploding sheep from warcraft in the Worms franchise.

[@Hurbster2112]

I quit the game during Cata so I've not really seen the differences (I'm back playing Classic now) from Classic to retail, fascinating stuff.

[@thunderdrum325]

at 32:02, I remember when I finally had enough gold to buy flying and a gryphon, and that was the first place I went to. I had no idea they added people there till this video!

[@mattwo7]

6:57 The Alliance used to be the Alliance of Lordaeron before the scourge took Lordaeron over during the third war, she might be a survivor who fled Lordaeron and moved near Stormwind when it was once again made the capital of the humans and made the capital of The Alliance but had to leave Greg behind for reasons unkown.

[@waderoberts3701]

13:40 When I first played a warrior in vanilla, I thought that had to be the island where I learn berzerker stance. I couldn't imagine being sent so far away so early.

I've actually worked with the Game Theorists off and on for years now, but their shout out in that End of an Era video was super appreciated! They're great dudes :)

[@tritesy]

Lord Underfoot was a cat that was randomly always at the Blacksmith in Arathi Basin. I used to pat that cat all the time. I think one faction can kill it (maybe both?)

[@stuarthtodd]

I have played Warcraft since it came out. I've come and gone and always went back to play it. I literally just found your channel, these videos and I'm drawn back to playing it again. Why? The inn music from Goldshire. I'll be watching the rest of your SECRETS videos I'm certain.

[@ravenfyrepentrust]

I recently came across your videos and I'm really loving them. They're really enjoyable to watch and the way you do voice over makes your narration really soothing to listen to.

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy it :)

[@yanni100]

Hope you continue to make other videos like these, I love them

[@canlex]

This is pretty late but at 7:18 Clara use to actually be murdered by the bandits. I suppose at some time that code broke and it was never fixed.

[@powguma]

I found a blogpost from 2009 that confirms this. Clara doesn't even fight back the Ambushers, and she doesn't interact with the player if they save her.

[@thax321]

31:00 you could actually get to the waterfall area above Elwynn Forest. It is still my favorite hidden spot to chill in classic. No other players

[@spikertaker]

The time Blizzard actually cared about their players... This attention the detail is amazing.

[@buttlerubbies747]

Amazing video!!!! Seriously, great work man.

Thanks a ton!

Good lord this channel is a hidden gem!, excellent work and voice. Greetings from Argentina +1sub :)

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy what I have coming up :)

[@avokinvabaz]

the clara charles thing could honestly be like. considering that you are close to clara enough to see the dialogue, it could’ve been that the ambushers were supposed to be talking to the player & clara is meant to be like. working for the ambushers, luring people to talk to her only to then get attacked? idk that was the first thing that came to mind

[@absewr]

Thank you for your effort you put in those videos. I love to watch nostalgic WoW stuff like that😀👍

[@naleck2922]

In classic you could travel out of bounds in vanilla and fished from the pool where turps camp was eventually added. The pool contained peacebloom, a weird fishing drop to be sure.

[@Draknfyre]

The little camp area at the top of the waterfalls was reachable via wall climbing back in the day. The fish pool there gave Peacebloom, for some reason.

[@Flippirino]

11:55 Saw it at the corner of my eye, was confused, went back, and yes, the small tent/rest spot looks like it has a face Shocked me for a second and surprised me, quite intriguing

[@neuro1452]

The quality of this content is superb. Just be patient and this channel will eventually blow up. Your voice is made for narrating stuff like this

[@sidhionoakbranch4871]

The lake north of Northshire actually *was* accessible prior to Cataclysm, I believe until sometime between Outlands and the Lich King expansions. There was this quirky little collision bug that could be exploited to reach areas you were not meant to see; if you jumped against a surface you would normally slide down on but stopped moving before landing you'd sort of just... stick to the surface mid air. This only worked on certain angles with corners being the best spots to climb. Using this exploit you could make your way to the south-western corner of the Burning Steppes, past some dragon whelps and make it across the mountain bordering Elwynn Forest. From there, all you had to do was jump safely into the water on the other side! The camp with the gnome and dwarf was one of my favourite places to be in the whole game, although there were no NPCs there at that point in time. Much like Seely does now, I came there to relax and unwind between adventuring in a calm, serene place largely inaccessible to the public. :)

[@TheRastapenguin]

There was another way to get there also. I don't know where I learned it from (probably some random dude in trade chat) but I distinctly remember you could get to this area by fazing through a wall in Stormwind by that portal between the Trade District and Old Town. If you jumped through there it would put you behind the portal. If you then walked to a certain point an jumped, you would begin to fall through the world. Eventually you would faze back to the surface in this area. Did it a few times as it was one of my favorite places to just hang out in game as well.

@@TheRastapenguin, hoh, I knew a way to access the area underneath Stormwind by jumping from a lamp post behind the Auction House, but I didn't know about that method!

DAMN this video is so good! never would have known Willem was the first guy we talk to in classic wow! keep up the videos I would watch one on every area I love this you did a great job !

Lots of things that should’ve been mentioned in this video notably how many unique one time use assets there are in the original Elwynn forest that are never seen again. The Isenstrider pair. Some quest text that suggests content that was cut. Glad you caught the human face texture in the tents though given wow wouldn’t really continue on with this level of gore. Similar to Garrick padfoots original icon for his decapitated head.

I thought I had watched all the secret videos I could but I didn’t know over half this !

[@julianstankov1357]

[@ChrisElison]

Great video, spent so many hours in this zone levelling up in Wrath of the Lich King and Classic :)

Tarantis at 22:35 has what I can only describe as a Ninja Turtle face on it's backside. This is funny. I love your vids and will keep watching. I learned a lot from these, I've played since 2008 and didn't know many of those things. I can't wait for the rest of Stormwind. I main a gnome mage named Granny Rubyrose.
