      A long time ago, the lead researcher had a wife and child. The wife was a fellow researcher, and obsessed with finding the key to reviving people long dead. One fatefull day, she realised she needed a test subject and wanted to use her son. The husband tried to convince her to stop following that line of research, but she refused, and he had to fight her to the death.
      Disgusted by her actions and his shame, he removed his own memories of the whole sordid dealings, and locked them into a crystal, hiding the truth from everyone, including his son.
      But not all traces could be hidden, and when the son started investigating, they found out the memory crystal contained such vivid memories that it had become it's own lifeform, and it not only sought to finish the research, it also intended to replace the husband for betraying his own memories.
      It is that monstrous entity you now face as the boss.

      I used to do that all the time. I took my death knight in WoW through all the content from vanilla on up just to see what raid bosses i could and couldnt solo. I think I made it to wrath of the lich king content before I started having real trouble steam rolling everything and even then it was often because mechanics either required multiple players or didnt rely on my own stats. Collected a lot of fun stuff, got some pets for my pokemon battling from ahn quiraj that were pretty awesome. And got to see other content I never had the chance to because I wasnt a raider at the time.

      Do squats. If you can't do 50 squats in one go, then that's your problem. If you can't do more than about 10 squats in one go, then you are in serious physical trouble (medically speaking) and have major muscle atrophy. Getting up to 20 squats in one go is a decent target for seriously atrophied legs, which will take at least two months to safely get up to. People think muscle building is about the upper body but actually leg, back, and stomach muscles are far more important for general mobility. It's also not safe to work out the upper body if the lower body is in poor shape. You'll find that getting up is easy when your leg muscles have strength in them. You'll also start looking at people who are using walkers and think that a few squats would do them a world of good.

Hold that and try and finesse your balance, using your arms, to get your heels on the ground too. You might try pushing your knees apart with your elbows to feel the stretch in your lower back. Next level up is to stand up from that position.

    I'd like to see a horror themed version from the raid boss's perspective where they keep dying and reawakening before this fight against these heroes who seem to keep doing better and better against them as if they can read the boss's attacks or something. Like a Groundhog's Day but where the main character is the only one unaware things keep resetting each time.

More in need of therapy than Greg he's just happy to be there not dieing over and over as a raid boss, seeking an end to that bleak existence his ultimate goal in D&D is ending his own miserable existence so when the party completes their quest the raid ends and he is divinely rewarded to live the rest of his days as a humbled blacksmith worthy of his grandfather's hammer.

      I don't think most of that set is even real...
      A lot of the far back walls look like flat images and many parts of the background are blurred, probably to hide the flatness. Some stuff even looks CGI, like the fallen columns. Put some fake prop columns that the actors can interact with and viola, you've been duped into thinking they are at an actual place.
      Also, in some scenes, there is a circular patch of sunlight, presumably from a stained glass dome or window...but it seemingly disappears in some wide shots of the area.
      Most damning is the fact that there is one scene where the four characters are standind in it...but are somehow shrouded in shadow?

Cos they had top-tier loot. But it was nearly impossible to win lol. Their stats were way beyond the best possible stats of Max-level players even with the best magic buffs.

      I kind of wish the mobs just stopped 'being visible' and 'interactable' once you turned in a quest for that area. Like... you just got to see the starter town being cleaned up bit by bit. Maybe the people who are on that quest are temporarily invisible and can't be interacted with while doing the quest if you've already completed it? And the whole town slowly turns from this ramshackle version of itself to a repaired and functional looking town.

      ​@Jarold Scott Williams.3rd WOW and a few other MMOs actually do this, not on a large scale, but on some main story quests. First time I noticed was on WOTLK when you were fighting at the gate with the dragons and the scourge, then Sylvanas betrays everyone and starts throwing blight every where. I had a higher level buddy trying to run me through the quest so we could run the next dungeon together and soon as we stepped into the area he disappeared. I had to solo the battle sequence and after the cutscene boom we were visible to each other

    I'm sure someone else notice this detail, that by the time you fought the raid boss on 2nd or 3rd attempt you will start to remember the enemy's attack pattern. So notice how brit was able to damage rowan on his first attack after dodging and adam dodging the fire attack in 2nd attempt.
    EDIT: I am not also sure if what i just said is applicable to this game but i know some games does hehehe.

    I love these videos from the boss/mob/NPS's perspective. One thing I have always found amusing is in an MMO like WoW, a boss that is challenging to defeat with a full raid (40 in the old days, or 25 or 10 now) before can be solo'ed once the level cap has been increased. You can go into old 40 man raids and one-shot all of the bosses that were incredibly challenging in the past. Anyway, great work, as always.

    Great vid y'all! Reminds me of my first time taking out the Red Dragon Kurrandrax (dax???) who I'm not sure is even fightable anymore these days. The call captain, a Great Weapons Fighter, wanted me. as the tank, to just kite the adds while DPS focused on the dragon; but I wasn't that fast and the mobs kept ganging up on me near the climax of the fight. I decided to break ranks and draw the dragon's fire instead, much to the chagrin of the DPS who then needed to play add control and the call captain who no longer had the direct attentions of the dragon. As the battle raged on I could tell they were miffed from the chat, but the quick loss of health bar in our friend dragon was undeniable. The GWF seemed distracted as I landed a final blow on it's snoot and finished the dungeon...right before getting booted from the instance. Well played PUG homies...well played. I might pick Raid back up asp. Probably switch to using my PC since I've got some PC upgrades planned and just had to replace my phone since it got glitchy so I got rid of the app after the transfer. It might be a while though lots going on this month.
