When I first played WoW, I saw undead could swim underwater for a long time. So I went exploring the ocean in Tirisfal glades. Fatigue killed me and I woke up in Durotar. I just... had to learn how to play and survive on my own because I was so lost. But it felt cool.
When I first unlocked druid aquatic form back in vanilla, I spent hours swimming up and down the coasts of eastern kingdoms and kalimdor. It's was extra cool because most games back then would instakill if you even touched water and being in a game like WoW for the first time... it was awesome. Can still be pretty cool to do that today.
@@bashvash You can still do it if you swim far enough. Durotar is the Horde's debug spawn, just like Westfall is the Alliance's. I didn't wash up on the shore 😂 I got too far from Tirisfal's graveyard
that's adorable hahah gotta love those noob wow moments we had back in classic and bc when there was no indication as to where you were or what you were meant to do :p
Good point, a lot of wormhole generator malfunctions drop you in some sort of weird tableau, like you'd find wandering around a Bethesda game, which are put there just to be a wormhole malfunction site.
My fave underwater spots: one is in Pandaria near soggy's gambit. There is a face smoking a pipe with blinking eyes all made out of shells and coral. The other is a giant glowing orb far south of vashjir surrounded by gigantic dragon skeletons. Sadly the last one you can only see at a distance due to it being under the death plane. Shammy far-seeing ftw
Also check out the Horde BfA warcampaing questline Operation: Bottom Feeder. You dive in the middle of the great sea in an instance of pure water for miles for Derek Proudmoore's body.
In Pandaria, off the coast of Townlong Steppes, theres a bunch of seemingly random "Ancient Leviathans", they share Ozumat's model and they are scattered around Shan'ze Dao and the southern waters of the zone , spooked me a bit the first time I saw them
Love these pointless top ten lists.... really helps you appreciate all the small details that blizz put into the world, even if only a few players would ever notice or care to appreciate it.
Hi! Civil War historical interpreter here. Sullivan Ballou wrote the letter to his wife a week before the first Battle of Manassas/ Bull Run. He was the major of the 2nd Rhode Island Infantry, made famous in “ All For The Union” , the memoir of Elisha Hunt Rhodes. Rhodes mentions Ballou’s death in the book, but the letter isn’t included. It can be found online, and I have to say that it is one of the most poignant and beautiful letters I’ve ever read.. Ballou’s widow did not receive the letter until a year after his death when the governor of Rhode Island made a personal visit to Virginia to reclaim the remains of several Union soldiers buried on the battlefield, Ballou’s potentially among them. I say potentially because the corpses recovered had been stripped of anything valuable or able to identify them and all showed signs of post death mutilation, with most showing signs of dismemberment, with many having been burned to charred remnants or ash before burial.
@@sc-mh3jj In a way, yes, but mostly no. I portray a military surgeon, and I go to different events and discuss and sometimes demonstrate medical practices from the time period. I'm the surgeon (Major), and I have an Assistant Surgeon (Captain), a nurse and two hospital stewards who 'work under' me in the hospital setup we have.
I love the giant dragon skeleton in the waters south of Dragonblight. It is so big you can only really see it on the minimap. No idea who this dragon is but the skull looks as big as Goldshire at least.
the weirdest thing underwater imo, is the orb found way off the fatigue zone in Vashj'ir with the 2 dragon skeletons if i remember correctly. Whats weird about it is that it has a deathwall around it, meaning if you dont die by the dmg from fatigue, you will die once you get closer to this. There were thoeries about it for years, but seems like blizzard forgot about it sadly
I found the Writhing Leviathan organically during BFA and it was very unsettling to behold at first. It was on my mind the entire time watching this video. Glad it made the list
These Pointless Top 10s almost make me want to return to WoW just so I could explore freely on my own and look for some out of the way things myself. Almost....
2:43 #8 is an old Vanilla quest that is no longer in game. Next to that dwarf body was a note you take back to that dwarf's wife. It was a really cool but sad quest.
Another great video Btw when you said you wish someone made that skeleton underwater into an actual building, they did do that in Frostfire ridge with a ancient gronn skeleton, ogres inhabited it
honestly i'm scared shitless of any underwater anything in games thanks to thalassophobia but i love WoW's underwater taverns... the leviathan would scare the absolute shit out of me but i love the idea that he's just... dancin'~
Deep open water scares the crap out of me so props to you for actively seeking these out lol. Theres a few underwater things used in some of the WoW secrets and ill never forget doing some of them during BFA. Especially the sunken ship off the coast of Vol'dun and Nazmir. And then the big cave off the far coast of Zandalar literally at the edge of the ocean
1:40 Hate to be that guy, but the sword in the stone was not the Excalibur. The sword in the stone was maybe called Caliburn, but that's disputed and it is mostly called just "The sword from a stone". Excalibur was given to King Arthur by the Lady of the Lake after Caliburn broke.
@@paulmcf1115 Well, yeah? The Sword is a reference to The Sword in the Stone, no doubt about it. Crendor just said that it is a reference to the Excalibur, which it is not, because the Excalibur never was stuck in a stone.
If you couldn't find the old god treasure thing in dragon isles that may be because it might not be there anymore? My friend and I noticed a huge island off the coast of Ohnaran plains that wasn't on the map unless you zoomed out to the Dragon Isles map, so we flew there, and looked around. Turns out a couple weeks later they turned it into the outdoor location of Amirdrassil.. so not sure but that stuff in the water may have been removed. If not, it's out there somewhere :p we were very confused as to what it was and were also like OMG OLD GODS lol
Number seven makes me think of mimics. I mean, given all of the skeletons, the treasure, the tentacles... It's likely a reference to that. For those of you who don't know, mimics are basically creatures from Dungeons And Dragons that mirror certain things (chests, doors, etc) and lure unsuspecting prey in before attacking and killing them.
Love your work Crendor, been watching you since I was a kid and you were a huge inspiration behind at least my Wow vids, always appreciate a pointless top 10. Also maybe Draenor's waters are just clear because there hasn't been mass industrialisation from Gnomes or Goblins to pollute them yet.
My best guess is the elf statue is Azshara. She was like the God-Queen Emperess of the elves before she sided with the void and went all... tentacley. It would make sense that they would have a statue of her, especially since it is near Suramar, an elf city.
I'm pretty sure that #1 is an area you visit when you're either doing A)The secret questline to get the puzzle mount or B) During one of the BFA quests because I for sure remember visiting that area. Though I will say that I do remember it teleporting you to that area and then you zoned back after the interaction.
1:31 Depending on the version of the story, it's the unnamed Sword of Selection (which is sometimes referred to in modern media as Caliburn but Caliburn is a French name for Excalibur derived from Latin-derived alternate Welsh name for Exclaibur, Caliburnus (the original Welsh name being Caledfwlch) ), not Excalibur.
My theory about the treasure is that it was a Darkmoon Fair proceeds transport ship that ended up sinking, leading to the DMF to focus more heavily on teleportation, and also stalling the release of those new attractions for all those years. The lack of the funds we see under the waves caused massive budget cuts for years only just now recovering from due to the sheer success of the fair.
I can't remember the name or where I saw it, but I remember watching a video showing off some kind of yellow angel that's right under the part where you "fall off the world" underwater in Broken Shore
The pointless video series is such a positive pick me up to any day one comes out. I would love to see a video in the NPC trainers for battle pets. There are hundreds of them and each one is different. And some are really weird. They all tell small stories.
Us: get out of water as quickly as possible don’t even pay attention get to land and continue questing Crendor: hey look at that I have to make a video out of it.
Pretty sure they've re-used that Leviathan Squid multiple times. I recall coming across another one, no boat house, no illuminecent jelly fishes, no horn, just, hanging out just like the #1 spot does, except not that far down. They also reused it as a side quest in War Within where you save a baby Leviathan (Fish disguise at first) and at the end when you release it further out into the deep waters, it's Parent shows up before they both swim away.
The shark from number 2 is Gnaws! From Kelp'thar Forest in Vashj'ir. We are the ones who pierce it with an harpoon in Bud's quest "DUN-dun-DUN-dun-DUN-dun" (and also collect his fallen teeth) :D
A lot of these areas that have random assets placed with no impact to the story are most likely training exercises for devs to get used to the engine and/or the area they're to be working in (like if they just got hired or moved to a new team). ETA: For #4, that'd be a statue of Queen Azshara prior to the First Invasion of the Burning Legion.
I think it's east of Nazmir, but there's another leviathan that's unreasonably huge. It's so far out, and attempting to get close just causes it to phase out and disappear, preventing you from actually reaching it if you can get there before fatigue gets you.
4:00 the instance of this asset in the Dragon Isles was edited... the tentacles were removed, and the eye was replaced with a literal Easter Egg from Noblegarden, you'd not find it now days.
4 has to be Queen Azshara, I mean....big elf statue in Suramar underwater, post sundering of the well, at least that's who I want it to be haha. This video got me thinking wow lore xD
I think nobble or doronsmovies once said, that the skeleton of Grond (Ancestor of the creatures that evolved into the ogres and the orcs) was blown up once. So you probably found gronds missing head there 🤯
4:01 This could be a Crendor reference. As in “Inside Of Treasure There Is Pointless Things”. It’s blizzard way of mixing up letters or meanings in their references.
Makes sense that Legion has the most stuff under water as the Broken Isles were lifted from the sea floor. I didn't realize it at the time tho so I'm gonna go for a swim.
The seashell throne below the giant skeleton is quite similar to a Great Fairy location in Breath of the Wild, although that is in a desert in the furthest corner of the map.
number 1 really freaked me out. theres something about open waters that scares the crap out of me, even if its only in video games and i remember i had to go there and do something for an achievement maybe? also there was something where i had to swim out and down into the ocean to click something on a sunken ship which i just couldnt do.
Not sure if it counts but i'd have also counted the Deep Sea Kraken found east of Nazmir, below Krag'wa's Burrow on that "triangle" shaped island. It's only visible from far away and despawns if you get close to it... It is underwater but you cant exactly go underwater to see it up close
I have found so many strange things underwater in WoW... and none of them were on this list. The seafloor in WoW is full of Bethesda-like tableaux, big and small, pointless and not. There's a tortollan wedding in the sunken city of Zandalar. There are countless little stories among the wreckage in upper Vash'jir. There are hidden underwater caves everywhere, some with surprises within... and some with nothing. There's the wreckage of Classic-era settlements at the bottom of Thousand Needles. There's the ruins beneath Lake Dumont. There's a tiny rowboat in Gilneas that's anchored with a battleship-sized anchor, at a scope of about 1:2. Any underwater wreck or ruin has about a 1 in 3 chance of being dressed up with at least a very simple story for you to unravel, just by looking.
These are always fun. Have you ever done a Pointless Top 10 about NPC's pets? I know most are dogs, but some have other animals. So that could be fun, if you haven't done it, no need to repeat. lol
1:57 I think those are reused Gronn Colosus bones from Frostfire Ridge in Draenor. or maybe not, i'm unsure the texture and spiked vertebrae are similar.

Just realized I put 3 instead of THE END at the end so uhhh, 3
Crendor, what happens to us after 3?
Do we go to heaven or is it really 3?
My disappointment is immeasurable. And my day is ruined.
Th(re)e End
3
It's okay, the numbers are pointless anyway!
i appreciate you wowcrendor, thank you for putting in the effort for these "pointless' videos. these are always nice to watch
Sameee 😭😭
All of his “pointless” efforts
When I first played WoW, I saw undead could swim underwater for a long time.
So I went exploring the ocean in Tirisfal glades. Fatigue killed me and I woke up in Durotar.
I just... had to learn how to play and survive on my own because I was so lost. But it felt cool.
Why are you here: Random Orc
I dunno man I'm just as confused as you: Undead

It's was extra cool because most games back then would instakill if you even touched water and being in a game like WoW for the first time... it was awesome.

I'll take things that never happened for 800$, Alex.
@@bashvash You can still do it if you swim far enough. Durotar is the Horde's debug spawn, just like Westfall is the Alliance's.
I didn't wash up on the shore 😂 I got too far from Tirisfal's graveyard

Writhing Leviathan: “HEY YOU!”
Champion: “EEP!”
Writhing Leviathan: “PLAY THEM FUNKY TUNES!”
The fish know all the secrets. They know the cold. They know the dark.
**quiet Shath'Yar whispers**
Honorable mention to the Tortollan Wedding in Zuldazar, also underwater and one of the possible teleport points for the BFA Wormhole.
Good point, a lot of wormhole generator malfunctions drop you in some sort of weird tableau, like you'd find wandering around a Bethesda game, which are put there just to be a wormhole malfunction site.

I think they might be part of a Soggy's Gamble quest, but I can't remember clearly. Maybe a Klaxxi daily?
WoWhead doesn't list them as anything for quests
There's a hidden eel world boss there, which drops a pet
Yup, it's pretty neat
Love these pointless top ten lists.... really helps you appreciate all the small details that blizz put into the world, even if only a few players would ever notice or care to appreciate it.
Can't believe you missed the random orb way in the fatigue zone in Vashjir
That’s one of my favorites. Found that thing on my own and I spent so much time seeing how close I could get to it.

The "cage" next to the gnome skeleton is a lobster pot (trap). You can tell because it has nets on the end for the lobsters to crawl in.

Btw when you said you wish someone made that skeleton underwater into an actual building, they did do that in Frostfire ridge with a ancient gronn skeleton, ogres inhabited it
The Thunderlord orc clan's msin base is also inside the skeleton of a colossus
In fact I think from the knobly vertebrae those are literally the ancient Gronn Colosus bones being reused without the obvious Gronn head or arms.
I'm pretty sure what he said was the ogre cyclops statue was another one of the ancient skulls like in Frostfire Ridge and Gorgrond
And the skull with mushrooms in it is also a Colossus skull.
honestly i'm scared shitless of any underwater anything in games thanks to thalassophobia but i love WoW's underwater taverns... the leviathan would scare the absolute shit out of me but i love the idea that he's just... dancin'~

Crendor, I cant believe to left "Gnomelantis" (gnomish atlantis) off the list, it is such a neat little area off the south shore of Tanaris
Number 1 with the kraken in vol'dun was kind of scary with how dark it was underwater.
Writhing Leviathan, absolutely horrifying. I still remember finding it and being so incredibly uncomfortable.
The voldun one is super cool, never knew about that and i love those jellyfish. Also with #2 why would the shark not EAT the murlocs lol

Oh boy, it's crendor time 😂
I appreciate that you choose the other videos to recommend rather than just saying something generic and letting the algorithm decide :)
A midnight sloth man told me to say stuff. Wowee cool underwater stuff indeed.

No10 - I'm glad i'm not the only one looking for odd stories in wow. Could have been a cool side-quest there.

The N'Zoth treasure eye was in the Dragon Isles, but only during the Alpha/Beta. It was removed before the expansion went live.
That's not true, the eye got removed after the release of Dragonflight with Patch 10.0.5.
There are so many other cool/creepy things underwater in this game like "The Manta" skeleton in southern Dragonblight.
DUUUDE YESSS YOU KNOW!!
Crendor’s favorite weird thing underwater is Mike Ditka!
Sword in the Stone, literally is a sword in the stone and a reference to THE SWORD IN THE STONE. (you were so close to a great comedic set up)
I can't remember the name or where I saw it, but I remember watching a video showing off some kind of yellow angel that's right under the part where you "fall off the world" underwater in Broken Shore
One of the best parts of the weekend is seeing new content from the very best, Crendor! You’re awesome! ❤️U 3-thousand 👍🏼
Nice video. Me personally I would’ve included the bigger-than-galakrond dragon remains in southern dragonblight.
The pointless video series is such a positive pick me up to any day one comes out.
I would love to see a video in the NPC trainers for battle pets. There are hundreds of them and each one is different. And some are really weird. They all tell small stories.
I was hoping for number one, and I got my number one. Perfect playlist 10 out of 10
whoa twenty minutes ago lol i just stumbled over you again and wanted to binge the vids i haven't seen. nice~
The dwarf just made me think of the WoW music machinema for Highwayman. Went back to watch it, still a banger.
Us: get out of water as quickly as possible don’t even pay attention get to land and continue questing
Crendor: hey look at that I have to make a video out of it.
Never forget that somewhere in WoW TLK, at the bottom of a lake, there is a mini Yogg-Saron and nobody knows why
7:08 It's probably Queen Azshara
Pretty sure they've re-used that Leviathan Squid multiple times.
I recall coming across another one, no boat house, no illuminecent jelly fishes, no horn, just, hanging out just like the #1 spot does, except not that far down.

Favorite part of the weekend! 💕
Really love this series
First time I went to the number 1 spot, that kraken triggered my thalassophobia so hard, but its still a very cool location.
I think nobble or doronsmovies once said, that the skeleton of Grond (Ancestor of the creatures that evolved into the ogres and the orcs) was blown up once.
So you probably found gronds missing head there 🤯
4:01 This could be a Crendor reference. As in “Inside Of Treasure There Is Pointless Things”. It’s blizzard way of mixing up letters or meanings in their references.
It might have been easier to see underwater in Dreanor because they originally planned to have the Zangar Sea have stuff in it!
this was a good list!
Makes sense that Legion has the most stuff under water as the Broken Isles were lifted from the sea floor. I didn't realize it at the time tho so I'm gonna go for a swim.

YES! YES! YES! POINTLESS THINGS! LET'S GO
number 1 really freaked me out. theres something about open waters that scares the crap out of me, even if its only in video games

You should do a pointless top 10 NPCs with torches/lanterns

The murlocs are guarding the shark, they're in energy saving mode, but when the shark tries to run (Imagine) they wake up and bring him back
I'm pretty sure number 4 is a statue of Queen Azshara from when she was a high elf
These are always fun. Have you ever done a Pointless Top 10 about NPC's pets? I know most are dogs, but some have other animals. So that could be fun, if you haven't done it, no need to repeat. lol
2:42 Fun Fact: He's been in the game since the first friends and family alpha build (0.5.3).
“The Manta” skeleton in southern Dragonblight, the map even shows a lil sketch
Clealy, the giant Cyclops had a run-in with a Spore Druid. Yes.
Was hoping to see the random Pearl and skeleton assets from vashjir in the video XD
Ironically there are murlocs in boats during TWW pre patch event out in Northrend, north east of Wyrmrest
Yeah I wouldnt go anywhere near Nr. 1.
you couldn't pay me to do it
Loved the other spots though!
Dark moon fair is in fact tied to the old gods, hence why both feature so many eyeballs.
Elune is the moon god, no elf. The statue could show Azshara, she was the queen of the high elfs
Love anything thats underwater :D
Exploring and finding weird things in Azeroth is never pointless. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
I encountered “Crend the pointles” by chance the other day!!
the dwarf trapped underwater is very well known, i think basically all alliance players know of the quest
That last one should be top 1 actually scary things
1:57 I think those are reused Gronn Colosus bones from Frostfire Ridge in Draenor. or maybe not, i'm unsure the texture and spiked vertebrae are similar.
