Kargath and Kilrogg definetly need to be in this list. I was quite shock to see how they ended in Warlord of Draenor when they had so much history in WoW lore. Even in the alternate timeline their roles were bigger then "first raid boss" or "mid raid boss". They needed a raid of their own theme each!
Il'gynoth is probably my favorite WoW character. The "something that should not be" title always sends me chills, he is so ominous and moves people outside the game, its like he is tempting people with forbidden knowledge as old gods do in game
What about Teron Gorefiend? He was one of the main characters in Warcraft 2 Beyond the Dark Portal, one of Guldan main allies, he made KelThuzad obsessed with necromancy when he raided Dalaran and has an epic battle with Turalion. And was also a non end boss twice if we count his WoD version
Had to say, you must have not been playing in Dragonflight because Elisande comes back. "However, the quests leading up to Tyr’s revival brought back another character players never would have expected to see. During the sidequest, players go to an alternate timeline before Grand Magistrix Elisande, the former leader of the Nightbourne, was killed. Elisande is in possession of a disc needed to revive the Keeper, and the players must convince her to hand over the artifact. She agrees, citing she had already learned what she needed to know from it, and then departs through a portal, seemingly escaping from the alternate World of Warcraft timeline and becoming an active player in the story once more."
He has a lot of script writers for him now, chances are those writers havent payed attention to lore and skipped over it. But considering its an alternate timeline character does it really count?
@@Hurtydwarf it does, because it is directly related to the future expansion with Xalatath and he stated that she was never seen again. I can forgive the mistake though, it wasn't even on the Wikipedia page for her yet before the posting of this video.
I didn't even notice that when I skimmed through the questline. Man why can nothing stay dead in modern media, always with the resurrection out of nowhere or alternative timeline / multiverse crap. The fuck is the point of deaths if everyone just comes back later whenever the writers want them back
@@reborn2667don’t know if he “died”, but he does end up losing what little he had of his sanity, becoming one of the feral withered. His last moment of clarity was him thanking you for making his last moments meaningful 😢

Hows about top 10 non legendary weapons in the lore that are NOT wielded by main or lore central characters like Thrall, Wrynn, Medhiev and the like. Stalvans Reaper, as an example.
Aggramar accidentally created the orcs (or rather, they eventually evolved due to Aggramar's actions), by imbuing a giant mountain with life (which became Grond). When Grond and the Evergrowth destroyed each other, the pieces turned into collasals, while the pieces of the Evergrowth became the sporemounds. Then they further fragmented into magnaron and genesaur. Then spores infected the magnaron and they slowly changed over time, into ogron, ogres, and then finally orcs. This situation arose because Draenor had too much spirit. Compared to Azeroth which didn't have enough, due to the world soul consuming it which made elementals able to manifest physically. The Evergrowth would've destroyed all life, but Aggramar's actions ended up creating both the Breakers (descendents of Grond), and the Primals (descendents of the Evergrowth). The ogres and orcs are the last of the Breaker line, they are fully flesh and show no sign of their rocky origins.
And we can now add the Silken Court to this list! the boss itself is really easy once the mechanics are known by all players but for some reason it seems that players in both Heroic and Normal continually fail to do a specific part and get a raid wipe every try. I haven't experience something like that since MOP. Again, the boss is easy but the fact that almost every player in the raid has a specific mechanic to look after makes it an extremely hard boss.
"So, it has come to this. Together, we have learned and grown over the years, and now we find ourselves face to face on the battlefield. Do not think I will go easy on you, nor do I expect any quarter. What we do now, we do for the horde, both of us."
The world tree that was in grizzly gills was called vordrassil, I even looked up andrassil to see if I was wrong or crazy and all that came up was vordrassil. Am I missing something here?
Kind of a query over Rastakhan... Didn't he Worship Bwonsamdi at the time of Dazar'alor... before that it was Rezan. Zekhan was just zappy boye from the BFA trailer
Shade of aran, Teron Gorefiend, Kalecgos, Thorim, Hodir,Freya,mimiron, mannoroth are all none final bosses of raid but on lore richeness beat most on this list.
How do you forget about draenosh saurfang on a list about important non end bosses in lore. Son of saurfang led the horde on the assault on icc only to be victim of putris.
Here an idea for a future video: top of the best storylines in wow. The storylines would be the one that the player do and discover in the zones where they do their quest.
I guess we ignore shadowlands when it comes to the “demons”. Also we have seen more of Elisande during dragonflight - there is a quest where you encounter one from a different timeline.
Seeing him in the raid encounter makes the whole "too large and powerful to fight the old gods without destroying the planet" line seem like weapons-grade copium. Dude's just mad there are dinosaurs in Zandalar taller than him.
One thing I like is that originally, Anduin was supposed to be the final boss of Sepulcher and we would fight the Jailer in the next raid, but Blizzard started working on DF instead so they just made Anduin a boss, and then added 3 more. Even Blizzard hated Shadowlands that they just wanted to get out of it fast.
@@jordanread5829 I think it was confirmed by a Blizz dev on Twitter at some point, I remember seeing it going around the time when Fated and S4 was coming out. But I dont remember the name of the dev, or it coulda been a fake account too and not actually true at all.
technicly, aggrammar created the orks and that is an huge lore point. Imagen an timeline with no orks, maybe the horde would never exist and with that, the legion would have a much easier way to conquer azeroth.
1:50 Omnipotent means all powerful. Omniscient means all knowing. And I think you mean clairvoyant, not omniscient. Clairvoyant means being able to see the future.
Aggramar is also the creator of the all the giant races on Draenor which led too the eventually ogres then orcs. It’s crazy the orc players have to strike down our creator. But he does drop a sweet sword mog.
Murder of king Ratakhan is such a dark deed the Alliance that it probably outdarkens everything that the Horde did (of course not counting the Gul'Dan command). I'm still salty for it.
According to the lore Medivh ain't dead. He was killed during the second war and resurrected by Aegwynn before the third war. He haven't be slain and his inherited magical powers give him a long life
@@andreware2039Most likely. I believe Medivh is still residing in Karazhan. Khadgar mentions in the Legion epilogue that he was going to Karazhan to speak with Medivh if there is a way to heal Azeroth from being wounded by Sargeras.
and one thing I can't buy AT ALL is the Elfs being an "evolution" of Trolls, similar to Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. If not evolution, whatever the lore makes of it
@@KefoAtletaFrom a lore point of view, he is for Alliance. But from a gameplay pov, Alliance players do Mekkatorque, Stormwall and Jaina but as Horde races via Mercenary Mode. Likewise Horde players become Alliance races for Opulence, Conclave and Rastakhan when they do those bosses in the 'flashback' section of the raid. The order is still the same for both factions except for Grong and Jadefire masters. Where it goes Grong -> Jadefire for horde and Jadefire -> Grong for Alliance. I will admit that horde players going from, "we must get those Alliance dogs for killing our king" to "but first let me explain what happened from my pov" is a bit silly. However it is clear that Blizzard did that so they didn't have two different end of raid bosses for BoD. As it kills the pacing for the horde version due to that forced flashback inbetween.
Rastakhan's assassination was one of most pointless deeds done by alliances. It was main reason for Zandalari to join horde instead of just being a political Alliance.

@@TheKobasen neither, he's a Gronn the link between the two you mentioned

Technically we did see Anduin in that one cinematic about The War Within where he looked completely different and class changed to Warrior.
There is maanyy, i wouldnt mind part 2
Number X: Emerald Nightmare since, like, half of that raid was relatively lore rich.
