Long time fans of the channel might be wondering, "But Platinum!!!!! Where is the cool recreated intro?!?!" Here are the reasons why I plan on stopping that. 1). Copyright. You guys gotta realize I was like Neo from the Matrix with how I was dodging those copyright claims. The complexity of dodging copyright claims went from pitch shifting audio to hiring a fiverr musician to recreate the Dethklok intro and then me doing the vocals over it. Point is, riding the line between fair use and copyright is a pretty stressful place to be because my videos could be demonetized at a moment's notice. 2). Time. Those intros took a very long time to make and I'd rather spend that time making other videos. 3). I don't want to make them anymore. (I will be updating this comment if anything about this guide changes [bug fixes, misinfo, etc]. Correction - The Opera Event is a required fight.
Thank you so much, had my first ever raid in wow today and our leader didn't show, I started inviting everyone and ended up having to lead the group myself having only ever levelled 1 character on classic but this guide got us through half the raid with only a few wipes. Cheers for this in depth guide!
When it came to shade of aran, i remember one of my guildies put it in the funniest way: 1. When it gets cold (blizzards) get closer to him 2. When he gets too clingy (arcane explosions) run away from him 3. When it gets nice and warm, just sit an enjoy.
You almost, ALMOST, make me want to start WoW again. I miss raiding due to the shared goals and the comradery you can get in some guilds as we work towards a shared goal.
Karazhan will always be the sentimental favorite raid for me. I was in a PvP guild in Vanilla and we never did any raids besides ZG, so when BC then Kara came out we all got attuned and did eventually beat it. Those smaller raids were so nice after never having nearly enough for 40s back in Vanilla
Definitely remains my fav raid to this day. Not only was it an easier raid for people just gearing up for harder content, but it also had great lore, cool quests and a ton of bosses and areas. It truly felt like a huge mad wizard's castle. Mobs were interesting, the bosses were cool and it had such a nice atmosphere that made you feel like in a fantasy RPG. I always did my attunement on every char that played in TBC because i wanted to run it with every one. I will always have fond memories of that place and i really never went there for loot, just for the journey. Like watching your fav fantasy movie over and over :)
I remember when my cousin got me invited into the raiding guild he was in. I was so proud, I had never done raiding before. They were still doing Karazhan runs in order to gear up for Gruul's Lair, so it fit perfectly. We get to Moroes, and me, being a hunter, is charged with CC'ing one of the adds by using frost trap on it. So anyway, it resists my trap, at least I think so. Trap didn't work, so the add is beating me up and I can't do anything about it because frost trap is on cooldown. Then the add fears my cousin, who runs into an adjacent room, pulls all the trash in there, and we wipe. To Moroes. I got chewed out and everyone ragequit. Stopped playing WoW not long after. Fond memories.
@@ashkii9452 You get over it after the first 5-6 times. It's like this in almost every MMO with raids too, regardless of the difficulty level. I've seen people get mad over the baby puzzle box mechanics in ESO, as well the quantum physics bullshit in D2. It's all the same, just laugh it off and go at it tomorrow.
Can cc and cast spells on the skeletons. Confirmed this after, as a mage I wasn't attacking them on my first attempt and people were like, "wtf are you doing?"
I put the playback speed to 0.50x when you went over the attunement process. I didn't change it back to normal for rest of the Video because it made you sound really drunk and it was super entertaining xD
The Wizard of Oz fight is just a masterpiece in really fun encounter design. Not hard, but full of flavor and every single thing about each NPC in the fight makes complete sense with the movie. High King Mulgar was similar in that regard, just very well designed.
This guide is awesome - I love the personality your videos have. It's so nice to have a change of pace from the typical bored nerd reading off a script and just showing gameplay footage that I see in so many other guides.
I think I've already commented on this before, and now that I'm about to raid lead Kara once again I can't tell you how good this guide is. Platinum, you're extremely talented and each video just gets better and better. I really hope some day you make it big in the editing world of television and movies if that's what you want to do. I would love to be a grandpa some day and be like...see that Editor? I knew him way back when. You're the man!
Adventurers: "Wait why do you have gorehowl?!" Prince Malchezar: "Oh that's very simple I uh..... won it in a game of Hearthstone...?" Adventurers: "Seems legit."
Already can say why. According to the book The Last Guardian, Kara is a kind of timespace zone. Adding that with the quotes of the Prince and removed/cutted content from the game either vanilla or WoD (since the raid was supposed to be in vanilla wow and the rework of the raid) Malchezar was able to travel into different timelines with his powers and the tower as a support. In one of them He obtained the weapon. Of course this is an hypothesis but all that I said is substantiated with the content that could make the raid the last raid of vanilla wow and the removed content from WoD that could make it one of the best expansion. If Spanish doesn't bother you, here is a documentary that thoroughly explains everything about Wod: th-cam.com/video/_xG4FukfCuQ/w-d-xo.html
Hope the baldman reacts to this, that man also has revealed the truth about old hyjal and the crypts in his channel like no one else. He deserves more views :)
Ah this was a great guide! I'll miss the dungeon dive intros, but the change is totally understandable. Appreciate all the time and effort you put into these. Keep up the great work man!
Just went into my first karazhan run in tbc classic (before I saw this video). The guys was already geared up for MH and BT. I was second healer and had no clue what was going on as we ran through it so fast. We wiped once on Nightbane. The other healer carried me hard.
Fun fact: the guy who designed Flame Wreath actually did not intend for it to work the way it does, he just wanted it to limit you to a circle rather than force you to not move, and only realized it was bugged to work the way it does after release and they never fixed it because all the players just accepted that’s how the fight was intended to work and were used to it.
I'd really love to see one where it shows Sylvanas just going banshee on everyone who stands against her. Like Naxxaras or something but with Sylvanas in it.
This didn't make it feel like you had to "study" when freshening up on kara knowledge for classic raid. Entertaining, clear, simple and funny. If this had been out first time I was going to go kara back when it released in retail I would have died a lot less XD
The Chess boss is super cool. Running it solo later on down the line wasn’t though. Medivh does not pity the fool who attempts to beat him in Chess by themselves. Couple that with the game randomly just kicking me out of pieces or not allowing me to take control of them and man was that brutal the first time around.
22:15 And here is where Garrosh’s gag quote in Heroes of the Storm came from, mentioning he doesn’t know how or why Prince Malchezar had Gorehowl, so stop asking! But really though, that’s a friggin bizarre iconic weapon to suddenly pop up coming from a guy who... literally had nothing to do with its owner, in a place that was completely irrelevant to the owners activities. I guess Thrall just decided Mannoroth’s Tusks were more important to grab after killing him over his fallen brothers weapon, and one day Malchezar was just wandering around Ashenvale and found a cool axe randomly.
As soon as I saw this video, I stopped and grab a drink and popcorn to watch the intro, and it was nothing!!! I love your vids but I think many people agree that the AQ and Naxx intro videos were really sweet. Definitely do more intro videos like those
Opera event is not an optional boss iirc. The back entrance doesn't open until you beat the Opera. You removed the opera event from the list of bosses that are not optional at the start.
Either this is an issue with the current build/patch (20/06/2021) or the Nightbane portion needs an edit quickly! As the restless skeletons take damage from all sources and are not only vulnerable to holy and physical
The wizard of oz must be a rare encounter. As many times as i ran kara with my guild we never got that play. It was always Romeo & Juliet or red riding hood. On that note Kara does bring back a lot of fun memories of that raid.
'Midnight' is a really cool Mount, imho. One of my fave in fact. I asked my Guildies if it would be cool if I rolled "need" when he dropped and they were happy to oblige, I'm happy to say. :)
Can you start specifying whether bosses are tauntable or not? Especially for "offtank gotta pick up the boss", this makes a massive difference to how you play tank.
just to give people a heads up, the prince fight doesnt seem to be that way anymore infernals were getting dropped right onto dps heads last night lol.. also shade of aran has a dragon breath ability that looked to one shotting alot of people i didnt see you list it

99% of raid mechanics "get away from the fire" - 1% "stay inside the fire". I can't wait to see the wipe's compilation.

Yea lol sometimes raiding was not so fun. Just business for some people.
lol we call those bosses 'Guild breakers" Happens all the time in mythic raiding, people loose their shit and the guild breaks up xD
This is why I’m afraid to raid lol

@@hoked2194 this helps thanks lol 😅
The restless skeletons do take damage from magic btw.
Also Immolation on their Tool Tip says 950-1050
Can cc and cast spells on the skeletons. Confirmed this after, as a mage I wasn't attacking them on my first attempt and people were like, "wtf are you doing?"
i had to rewind to hear what he said about killing the restless skeletons, me being a stupid warlock used seed anyways and it worked!
Not in Phase 1. It was later nerfed.
I put the playback speed to 0.50x when you went over the attunement process. I didn't change it back to normal for rest of the Video because it made you sound really drunk and it was super entertaining xD
He sounds like he's a drunk raider that is moments away from blacking out. This is how i want every guide from now on to sound like.
I am so glad you put in the Flame Wreath chant. I don't know how many times I had to make dps chant that matra in the old days.
Man the editing never gets old. Such an informative video as always !
Damn. I know everything there is to know about Kara but I still watched the full video because it was so well made. Great job, dude.
LETSSS GOOOOOO NEW PLAT WOW VIDEO
Excellent overview of Kara. Appreciate the effort here and detailed, yet simplistic explanations.
I remember watching my dad run this when I was just a little kid
I remember watching my son run this when I was 40 🤯
The Wizard of Oz fight is just a masterpiece in really fun encounter design. Not hard, but full of flavor and every single thing about each NPC in the fight makes complete sense with the movie. High King Mulgar was similar in that regard, just very well designed.
Man, you need to release a full version of that Disco Karazhan soundtrack!
Don't know why I feel like I need to know more about the history of the Trolls
Medivh's tower, Medivh's soundtrack.
I've been looking for this music for like 10 minutes already. Was it really made by platinum???
@@dulago No, he posted what it was on his troll lore video a while back. Type in kharazan tower remix and you might get it.

Bro, I had no idea you could sing so well. That recitation of dont move when flame wreath is cast gave me chills.

Love your guides so much Platinum! Great stuff!
everyone gangsta till Platinum WoW drops a Kharazan guide

literally clicked the video and just waited for the shade of aran chant, knew itd be in here somewhere
Just an FYI, the nightbane skeletons are NOT immune to magic damage. My hurricane and moonfire had no problem hurting them.
We ened up aoe blizzard kiting and nuking with seed lol

Special like for the vocal performance in the "I will not move or the raid will blow up" song

"its" is already possessive but yes i like it too

This is one of my fav all-time raids for atmosphere.

I'm here just to reminisce the good old days.
and im here to learn the mechanics for my first karazhan run ever lol
man, i lived in karazhan when it launched, i loved this raid.
4:01 I guess we'll find out at some point when Blizz has their day in court.

I just love how you edit your videos man. great stuff :)
Amazing guide of my favorite raid. Always lots of fun. Also like that ending remix dance
I had to log in just to leave this comment.
I lived this video super well described info and it was so much fun to watch. Well done!
The end was unexpectantly funny
nice one plat!
Keep up the good work
One of the best raids in WoW's history right there.
I'd really love to see one where it shows Sylvanas just going banshee on everyone who stands against her. Like Naxxaras or something but with Sylvanas in it.
I think it's funny Warlocks in retail have a chance of randomly summoning Malchezar
Helped us clear karazhan today! That malchezar positioning is perfect

My mouth is already watering over that mount drop
This is a steller video dude. Major kudos
Either this is an issue with the current build/patch (20/06/2021) or the Nightbane portion needs an edit quickly! As the restless skeletons take damage from all sources and are not only vulnerable to holy and physical
Man this raid was the best. I am so hyped.
The wizard of oz must be a rare encounter. As many times as i ran kara with my guild we never got that play. It was always Romeo & Juliet or red riding hood. On that note Kara does bring back a lot of fun memories of that raid.
Not gonna lie, this is my favourite WOW channel.
'Midnight' is a really cool Mount, imho. One of my fave in fact. I asked my Guildies if it would be cool if I rolled "need" when he dropped and they were happy to oblige, I'm happy to say. :)
Dude, you forgot about the random beast bosses in the kitchens. But everyone always skips those so meh
"I will not move when Flame Wreath is cast or the raid blows up"
As the raid's mana battery (shadow priest) back in the day I used to eat a full blue beam with VE and heal everyone like crazy. Fun times.
Here before any warrior
Paladins 1 Warriors 0
I'm gonna make a prot pala if I decide to play because prot is for true lords of light
This format is actually amazing. We'll done.
That was an excellent guide. Thank you for the time you put into it (and the humor)
Released just as servers go down! What a fortunate coincidence ty :)
I lost it when I heard heavy say DED holy shit
Can you start specifying whether bosses are tauntable or not? Especially for "offtank gotta pick up the boss", this makes a massive difference to how you play tank.
Thank you SO MUCH you make this so much easier to understand
That remix of Kharazan is just amazing!
Nightbane adds are not immune to all spell damage.
They are actually not immune to any damage and they wipe out melees instanly. So freezing them is especially good
I’ve seen a few video saw the same thing about melee damage only, but it’s not true, they take damage from everything
I've never played WoW in my life but this guide was very helpful nonetheless 👌
just to give people a heads up, the prince fight doesnt seem to be that way anymore infernals were getting dropped right onto dps heads last night lol.. also shade of aran has a dragon breath ability that looked to one shotting alot of people i didnt see you list it
We had the same problem with the infernals dropping on our heads at the entrance XD makes this fight so much harder
I was not disappointed by the shade of aran mantra in this video.
the king has returned
This was excellent c:
I liked seeing all the off-tank mechanics I wound up doing on my paladin in 2007 again :D
Awwwwwww was hoping for a show parody intro
Omg that ballroom remix at the end killlllled me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yo, this guide was top tier, thanks a ton :D. seriously recommend to anyone hosting a pug
I love the Karazhan music... I don't know why, I just really like it
YES! I've been waiting for this for so long!!!
I’ve never played wow but I still love watching your videos
Chess event is one of my favorite bosses in wow
It takes 30 seconds to do though
