When u click the altar downstairs on the troll boss in sunken temple there will be green lights lighting up the order in which u need to click the statues.
I played BC and Lurker was always the first boss people would do in SSC. He was easy loot. Hydros was difficult for most guilds the first time, but you can walk past him.

@@Benzinilinguine But the hivemind is almost only as old as its discovery. I mean, I didn't even know Yor existed either and it goes back to Burning Crusade !
I remember doing the Sunken Temple boss back when i started in TBC. Tbh I had no idea what was going on back then and was super amazed how people managed to summon extra boss by clicking statues in specific order. Good times
I walked across the map in World of Warcraft. Eastern Kingdom took me 3 hours and 47 minutes and walking across Kalimdor took me 3 hours and 41 minutes. No joke.
The information in the video on Lurker Below is a bit off. During The Burning Crusade, he was actually considered a well known raid boss and was considered as a progression boss for entry SSC raid guilds. The part about hostile fish in the water was true, but we use to have a strategy back then where raiders on the central platform would sink themselves in the center of the water where Lurker was stationed, as the fish didn't inhabit the center circle, only the outsides of it. Lurker was the first boss that just about ever single raid guild at the time would fight, as Hydross was a mechanics, dps, and nature resistance gear check, and some guilds would save him until around the third or fourth progression boss.
Lurker is well known only because someone actually discovered it. He is still a secret boss because the first ever group who entered SSC wouldn't have known the boss is there unless someone happened to fish that specific school and told everyone about the boss. Just because you know before hand about the boss because someone told you doesn't make lurker any less a secret.
For the Sunken Temple one you get a chain that leads to this boss starting I think in Tanaris. You get a notebook that mentions that when the correct idol is used, a green glow appears. If you choose the wrong one, you take damage and the puzzle resets. People just did it until they got all 6 idols to light up. There may have been something more direct, but I don't remember if that exists.
Next Top 10. Top 10 secret items from dungeons or raids . Example : Sul'thraze the Lasher from zul'farrak you had to combine 2 swords from 2 different bosses in Zul'Farak . Its quite unique to this day that an a weapon requires 2 other weapons to combine them. It also had a legacy achievement in 7.1 but for some reason it was removed .
I had that. It... was not actually very good. It was a 3.1 speed 2h sword... so it was straight up worse than the polearm everybody used at that level anyways. Looked cool though.
The Troll boss in Sunk temple was the very 1st thing in game that made me look up how to summon him all those years back. And i still have that folder where i wrote it down sitting under my BC box in my desk drawer funny enough
So besides the Polymorph:Turtle book that Gahz'ranka dropped the main reason guilds did him was for the trinket *Nat Pagle's Broken Reel* For The Four Horsemen fight in Naxxramas you need *8 geared tanks* n they should all get that trinket to use during tank swaps so the taunt isnt resisted.
@David Davidson You're only proving yourself to be even more "special" than before. Here's a wild idea, don't click on something just because it's in your recommended list. Surely you can think for yourself?
the death knight under scholomance in rattlegores old room. shaman quest to get the epic helm, required precise pulls not to aggro whole room of spawning ghosts. only shamans could summon him, never know he was there otherwise.
Yes you could i rwmember helping someone with these quest but we never did the boss because the quest was so long its the only reason why i ever did any of the rep there on that toon plus thats when i started playing wow end of crusades
Theldren and his 5 person arena team in Blackrock Depths. While you can't do the quest chain to get the item to summon him anymore, he is still summonable if you find someone with it. 5 level 60 elite mobs, no threat table, used CC, and some had special moves not available to players. Also, one of them was playing the tinkerer class, over a decade before players might be able to.
Ahh, i do remember those ones. That were good times. I dont play WoW for like 5 years by now, so it's a bit sad to hear that most of them has been removed from the game. Especially the scarlet monastery one. Back in vanilla i always loved to surprise new players in a party by showing them that secret room. Just a simple torch-switch and one secret door and so much satisfaction :D
When you did the tier 0,5 duengon armor grind and completed it. You got a key to summon bosses in UBRS the beast room, last room in stratholm living, also a boss in dire maul east where you killed a tree boss and a boss in Scholomance same room as you had to get into for the flasks. What i remember most is the staff from UBRS it had a nice black shine to it, still got it.
It's been a while but is the DM tribute run the one where you keep certain bosses alive, then you get the buff from the last boss and run back to the beginning to kill the first one?
@@Aussie_Tom you kill the last boss, then you get a chest with rewards that become more and more for every boss you left alive. after that they become friendly and give 2h op buffs
You could say whole UBRS was a secret that needed a special key (or ring i think it was) to be able to do it. Scholomance had a secret bat boss that required some special item to summon him.
Ah yes, the Seal of Ascension, I still have the grey ring somewhere on at least one character. I remember the pride at finally grinding it. It was the other thing that Emberstrife was good for (as well as the Onyxia Attunement chain).
in legion before the broken shore was available,if you explored the island a bit you could actually see (BOSS) level npc's roaming around,which is kinda rare considering most of the bosses are confined to raids,anyway i was exploring this area before the broken shore patch,and few noteworthy demons were there,like Kathra'Natir the dreadlord,i don't have evidence to support this,but it was cool to see such notorious demons walking around was badass.
Aww geez Hiru. You really hit the nostalgia button today. I remember doing all the crap for Ghaz'ranka (Looking for Nat Pagle's Fish Terminator for my vanilla feral druid) and for Anzu. those quests were really time and resource heavy for the time, especially for a casual like me. Thanks for another great vid!
We always did lurker in tbc. Never thought about it till now, but pretty funny to think about someone randomly fishing and likely getting 1 shot and wiping the raid
The threshadon boss you summon with the item you drop at the end of BlackFathom depths that requires you to backtrack a bit and activate the underwater altar, iirc ;)
Great video. I stopped making detailed videos like you do as I know how painful it is to create a video like this. The prison key drops reminded me of my exalted guides. Long grinds for a simple guide.
I have fond memories of Fairbanks, if only because he was the only secret in WoW I ever discovered on my own. I was jokingly talking about how torch sconces were always secret triggers in cartoons... only for that one to actually be one.
Number 2. I remember that so well and it was so fun actually. It had some depth to it. The entire dungeon. But doing those statues and trying to figuring it out, it was fun.
Would really love another video on this. It’s very insightful and had. No idea about the time walking extra boss.maybe top 10 secret or hidden pets or mounts or long quests to get them or get combination of items to make or spawn them?
I remember doing #1 during my noob year of starting W.o.D. And I loved it. It was basically a vivid memory until your video and now I get to reminisce a bit about it. Thank you :3 And have a Merry Christmas.
@Louise Hayle Same thing in UBRS. You can still access the old bosses by zoning into LBRS and using tools such as the Rogue's grappling hook and parachutes to reach the upper section. Since I don't have the item to summon lord whatshisname in the Beast room, I don't know if it works.
For sunken temple, the statues would light up when you activated them in the right order and would lose the glow if you picked the wrong one so it was just a matter of having someone on 5 of them and seeing when the lights went on/off.
For Atal'talarion a spot light would shine on a statue when you did something (Forgot how just remember the spot light), giving the order in which you had to press em I still remember doing him during my vanilla days, good times good times.
Good video! I will say Nightbane was well known about right when karazhan came out in TBC. My guild was the server first to clear kara back in the day and we knew about him the week in. He was already on the list of bosses needed to kill to be considered the first to clear it.
T0.5 quest series and class quest series were full of hidden bosses. By the way, one of those bosses killed a lvl70 full 10 players raid in UBRS back in the days
Because you mentioned the hydra rare, it reminded me of the rare Burnig Felguard in the lower blackrock depths with the hidden boss in it, the burning felguard is summoned by the warlock mobs in that dungeon (idk if its widely known) but I found it pretty cool
@@MrConstiii idk if there's any video on it. I was solo'ing the dungeon and ly character was low enough lvl that the warlocks could start the summoning spells and at first they just summoned imps but then I was surprised by the rare. After I killed it I looked it up on wowhead and it says that the rare can only appear through the summoning spell
The Nightbane mount actually has a 20% drop chance increased by each player in the group additively. It only has a 100% drop chance with a full group, which of course was required to defeat the boss while it was curren. But leaves the friendless people returning to the dungeon in later expansions to solo have to rely on a little bit of luck. Nothing outrageous, but interesting fact imo.
Whenever you do a top 10, I normally 90% know them all on the list prior to watching , I’ve played since vanilla and my main at the time was a Druid so I knew Anzu, however that last one .... I have never seen, or heard ANYTHING , ANYWHERE about him , you the first you tuber to mention him and i was shocked in my lack of knowledge
The Lost Vikings references in Uldaman were fantastic. Silicon and Synapse, as Blizzard was originally known, developed some iconic games in the 1990s-and Lost Vikings was no exception. :)
9:50 The altar at the bottom you could click on and it'd tell you which one is next so you'd clear all the platforms then have one person sit at the altar and click it while everyone else runs around.
In regards to Atal"Alarion, my group that I ran dungeons with regularly during Vanilla would actually clear the entire floor, then we would split up and 1 person would sit at one statue and we'd just press them until it worked lol.
He was a hardmode boss that was not easy accessible and very difficult. Whether he is secret or not is debatable IMO (I would say no), but he certainly IMO is the most spectacular boss ever. His dialogue, his visuals, the graphic scenario. It was all amazing. Blizzard was in their prime back then.
Summon the Hydra HandsUp - on a serious note, the Sunken Temple secret boss statue click order draws a Star of David if you connect the dots, starting north. That's how you figure out the order.
the Sunken Temple boss rooms had green light beams that would shine on the snake statues, but it was harder for a pug group to coordinate the clicks than it was when using ventrilo with a premade group that knew the fight.
the alternative quest item was Speedy Racer Goggles www.wowhead.com/item=9653/speedy-racer-goggles#comments the glasses flight masters wore. unique model of the square frame. these would have been super rare today if they hadn't given every player who completed the quest that transmog even if they did not pick that quest reward. The rarity of this object would be people who actually have the gear in their bank. without the 3% I kept up just fine with my groups, and looked good doing it.
I'm a year late, I know, but I'm glad you included Anzu. Anzu is by far my favorite our of the three Arakkoan Gods being Rukhmar, Anzu and Sethe and it took me forever but I finally got the mount, and it's my main ground mount on a few of my toons.
WoTLK pre event had an extra secret boss in Karazhan. You had to beat the first boss, the horseman, then go trough the stables and find its room. They dropped a cool bat pet and one of the guitars and other cool stuff. It was a vampire boss.
@@Wolfsbane1974 Yeah and I think they never rerun that boss, so the pet is a big collectable to this day. Although i wouldn't know since I quit at the end of WOTLK:
@@9001greg Those aren't rare. Postmaster was a guaranteed spawn while other Stratholme optionals weren't guaranteed. You just need to check the mailboxes until the man spawns. Dark Keepers was done often for the blood. Also a guaranteed spawn. You just need to right click the name under the portrait in the Black Vault Then it will spawn somewhere. The name plate will tell you where. And the name of the mob as well.
I used to love doing a full BRD run back in vanilla- every boss the dungeons were so massive it would literally take hours. Don't forget all the shortcuts you could take though in that place lava swimming and stuff to the respawning room. BRD is one of my favourite dungeons of all time in any game.
Much like Anzu for druids, I'll never forget the Dreadstead boss in Dire Maul at the end of the crazy long warlock mount quest in vanilla. Thankful that I got to experience it before Blizzard changed it so you just GET it when leveling.
Indeed I completed that Dreadsteed mount quest and was determined to remain lvl 60 until I had (TBC was out then, but hadn't been out long). Sadly I got bored waiting for my mates to arrive and killed some elites outside DM while waiting and dinged 61. I was the Warlock that done of the work for the Materials needed for the Mission. We completed it with a Druid Tank NE Priest and 2 other Warlocks who basically got a free ride and had none of the items needed for the summon. Also done the Flightform Quest chain on a Druid for the Anzu Summon Key but was a long time after the Flightform Mission was removed that I got the Mount. Also done the green fire Mission on my Warlock. Hard and took a few tries lol. Paladin mount quest was removed before I finished it on my Paladin, But was once in a Group that helped a Paladin to get his Mount :P Oh and the Legendary Daggers Mission Chain on a Rogue. Completed that but shortly after a new expansion made those daggers obsolete and it was a little annoying you couldn't use the Skin for a Transmogification.
Yeah you got the items from the first two bosses so you naturally did Ironaya afterwards. It was not that hidden, just like bosses that are part of a quest chain. Yeah someone will do the quest and find them, not really what I would consider hidden.
I wasn't expecting to see any on here that I've never killed, but to this day I never knew about Yor, in spite of my hunter from BC having done most of or all of that quest chain.
"Blizzard was very slow on fixing bugs back in the day!" , there we are in 2019 with an entire expansion bugged from A-Z, while being live for almost a year.
I remember there was a 2D free online game with murloc character. In a stage of the game while you are passing the brigde the hydra was spawning unavoidable. After that game I noticed the WoW and my first job was to lvl till I reach the point to fight with Gahz'ralka.
Holy shit. You just reminded me of something locked away deep within mu memories. I remember that game being a demo so i never got to play more than one level or w.e Cheers for making me remember something amazing.
For the snake statues in sunken temple there was a stone you could click on one of the balconies that lit up the snake statues with a beam of light in the order you had to press them. No guessing required at all.
For whatever reason, I always kept the Shaffar's Stasis Chamber Key in my bag... When the Timwalking started happening for BC, I was all "MY TIME HAS COME!"
Whoa. I've run Mana Tombs probably 50 times, been exalted with the Consortium since BC, farmed up dozens of those keys (probably still have a few in an alt bank somewhere), and I never knew about Yor.
I remember farming Anzu with a friend during Wrath, he was a druid so we just crushed the whole dungeon in a minute or so and kept farming it until we both got Anzu.
I think the Leeroy Jenkins quest was forgotten here, if I remember this correctly you had to rez Leeroy in WOD UBRS and then kill one of the last boss and wait there until Jenkins would show up for an extra follower.
If i remember correctly the statues in Sunken Temple didn't "reset" if you clicked on a wrong one, so once you had cleared all the trash in the corridors you could just run circles around there and click them all and the ones that didn't light up meant 1 at least more lap of clicking (ofc it was still really dull since it took a while to cover all the distance, and many long-term movement buffs like ghost wolf couldn't be used indoors yet, think that got added at the end of wotlk, until then they had the same usage restrictions as mounts... it was a good day when doorways stopped breaking travel-type shapeshiftings!).
About the sunken temple, every time you failed the click order, they would light up in the right order and the lights would go back out and you could re try the clicks again. (not something everyone payed attention to)
With the sautes in ST I'm pretty sure your statue would be unclickable after you click it if the people after you did it in the right order but would become clickable again if the next person in line didn't click the correct one. So you could trial and error it really easily that way. It was something like that anyway. We never looked it up, always just figured it out when we got there. There was definitely some way to just figure it out based on what it would and wouldn't let you click.
#1 took me by surprise. I'm a big time fan of The Burning Crusade, it was my favourite era of WoW. I just don't seem to have any memory of Yor himself. Though, when I look at the loot, I definitely recognize those rings. I must have been aware of their source, but it's gone from memory now, weird.
Little late to the party here :P BUT! Atal'alarion! Even though Sunken Temple has been revamped and are now smaller, you can actually still enter the old halls... they are just empty now. You have to actually go to sunken temple and take the old entrence and then you are free to explore the nostalgia ^^. I really like the fact that you have this one vanilla dungeon, where you can still go and have a look around - just without the mobs.
9:56 People found it out by clicking randomly. When you clicked, the statues would emit a green glow, when you clicked a wrong statue, all lit ones would cancel out and you would learn the order.
You can click on the alters multiple times so you get 1 person on each platform and click one until one finally glows then keep clicking and moving between rooms untill all the altars are glowing. It was pretty easy to summon the boss without knowing the correct order in sunken temple.
Hiru forgot to bring up Ashbringer. I know it's kind of irrelevant to the subject of the video but I when I watch a WoW top 10 list I expect some mention of Ashbringer.
@@Spongeyknight6491 actually it was and there was a huge quest chain in dire maul library leading up to it and then blizzard decided it would be too op and lore breaking to put it in the game for players hence the item is on the loot table and linkable but unobtainable

During The Burning Crusade, he was actually considered a well known raid boss and was considered as a progression boss for entry SSC raid guilds. The part about hostile fish in the water was true, but we use to have a strategy back then where raiders on the central platform would sink themselves in the center of the water where Lurker was stationed, as the fish didn't inhabit the center circle, only the outsides of it. Lurker was the first boss that just about ever single raid guild at the time would fight, as Hydross was a mechanics, dps, and nature resistance gear check, and some guilds would save him until around the third or fourth progression boss.
Lurker is well known only because someone actually discovered it. He is still a secret boss because the first ever group who entered SSC wouldn't have known the boss is there unless someone happened to fish that specific school and told everyone about the boss.
Just because you know before hand about the boss because someone told you doesn't make lurker any less a secret.
For the Sunken Temple one you get a chain that leads to this boss starting I think in Tanaris. You get a notebook that mentions that when the correct idol is used, a green glow appears. If you choose the wrong one, you take damage and the puzzle resets. People just did it until they got all 6 idols to light up. There may have been something more direct, but I don't remember if that exists.
5:45 heh, lost viking backwards
Took me 14 years to finally see that.
@@terrydirks4441 I was today years old when i found out
There is also some dwarf mobs in there named after them
lol nice
OMG DUDE WTF!
Next Top 10. Top 10 secret items from dungeons or raids . Example : Sul'thraze the Lasher from zul'farrak you had to combine 2 swords from 2 different bosses in Zul'Farak . Its quite unique to this day that an a weapon requires 2 other weapons to combine them. It also had a legacy achievement in 7.1 but for some reason it was removed .
Might have been shuffled around a bit, I know I was confused about old achievements -- but Wowpedia says it still exists.
I had that. It... was not actually very good. It was a 3.1 speed 2h sword... so it was straight up worse than the polearm everybody used at that level anyways. Looked cool though.
Dan Lorett my tank loved it lol
The Troll boss in Sunk temple was the very 1st thing in game that made me look up how to summon him all those years back. And i still have that folder where i wrote it down sitting under my BC box in my desk drawer funny enough
Old school Sunken Temple was the shit. Though it still looked like a walk in the park compared to full BRD run.
BRD was my guilds end game content :)
So besides the Polymorph:Turtle book that Gahz'ranka dropped the main reason guilds did him was for the trinket *Nat Pagle's Broken Reel*
For The Four Horsemen fight in Naxxramas you need *8 geared tanks* n they should all get that trinket to use during tank swaps so the taunt isnt resisted.
I still have that trinket on my druid main that I equip for my fishing set. Nobody ever inspects me and notices tho :(
the taunt could still resist, the chance was just considerably lower.
3:30 "I don't have any friends." Story of WoW nowadays.
Maybe it's because of how he pronounced I-ron- aye - ya
@David Davidson Only a special kind of loser goes to videos of things he's not interested in and bags out the creator/viewers...
@David Davidson People still play EQ, UO and DAoC....
@David Davidson You're only proving yourself to be even more "special" than before. Here's a wild idea, don't click on something just because it's in your recommended list. Surely you can think for yourself?
@David Davidson Don't wear yourself out buddy. I know a more thought out response is beyond you but I don't want you to hurt yourself.
the death knight under scholomance in rattlegores old room. shaman quest to get the epic helm, required precise pulls not to aggro whole room of spawning ghosts. only shamans could summon him, never know he was there otherwise.
omg, I forgot about him! Wow genuinely something in Wow that I forgot over time, thank for reminding me!
Orc boss in Dire Maul. You had to get that disguise and do a dance to summon it.
You can also grind the necklaces from ogres in Nagrand and turn them into the Consortium for reputation.
Yes you could i rwmember helping someone with these quest but we never did the boss because the quest was so long its the only reason why i ever did any of the rep there on that toon plus thats when i started playing wow end of crusades
Theldren and his 5 person arena team in Blackrock Depths. While you can't do the quest chain to get the item to summon him anymore, he is still summonable if you find someone with it. 5 level 60 elite mobs, no threat table, used CC, and some had special moves not available to players. Also, one of them was playing the tinkerer class, over a decade before players might be able to.
Lurker was known about before the raid was even released.
Probably just chilling while the group was having mana break Hoooooollllyyyy shiiiiiiiit
Ahh, i do remember those ones. That were good times. I dont play WoW for like 5 years by now, so it's a bit sad to hear that most of them has been removed from the game. Especially the scarlet monastery one. Back in vanilla i always loved to surprise new players in a party by showing them that secret room. Just a simple torch-switch and one secret door and so much satisfaction :D
When you did the tier 0,5 duengon armor grind and completed it. You got a key to summon bosses in UBRS the beast room, last room in stratholm living, also a boss in dire maul east where you killed a tree boss and a boss in Scholomance same room as you had to get into for the flasks. What i remember most is the staff from UBRS it had a nice black shine to it, still got it.
I definitely think the Dire Maul tribute run from Vanilla belongs on this list.
This. I fully expected it to be. So many tribute runs back in the day. >_
It's been a while but is the DM tribute run the one where you keep certain bosses alive, then you get the buff from the last boss and run back to the beginning to kill the first one?
@@Aussie_Tom you kill the last boss, then you get a chest with rewards that become more and more for every boss you left alive. after that they become friendly and give 2h op buffs
Yeah definitely
Not exactly a secret boss, just a secret way of clearing the dungeon for better lóot. Same for strat45
You could say whole UBRS was a secret that needed a special key (or ring i think it was) to be able to do it. Scholomance had a secret bat boss that required some special item to summon him.
Ah yes, the Seal of Ascension, I still have the grey ring somewhere on at least one character.
I remember the pride at finally grinding it. It was the other thing that Emberstrife was good for (as well as the Onyxia Attunement chain).
Everyone knew about the Gargoyle boss though.
While it’s not a raid or instance boss, the TBC portal event boss Shartuul in Blade Edge Mountain is quite secret and kind of hard.
in legion before the broken shore was available,if you explored the island a bit you could actually see (BOSS) level npc's roaming around,which is kinda rare considering most of the bosses are confined to raids,anyway i was exploring this area before the broken shore patch,and few noteworthy demons were there,like Kathra'Natir the dreadlord,i don't have evidence to support this,but it was cool to see such notorious demons walking around was badass.
Aww geez Hiru. You really hit the nostalgia button today.
I remember doing all the crap for Ghaz'ranka (Looking for Nat Pagle's Fish Terminator for my vanilla feral druid) and for Anzu. those quests were really time and resource heavy for the time, especially for a casual like me. Thanks for another great vid!
As someone who played a ton during Burning Crusade, I NEVER encountered Yor and/or knew about this boss. Well done.
We always did lurker in tbc. Never thought about it till now, but pretty funny to think about someone randomly fishing and likely getting 1 shot and wiping the raid
The threshadon boss you summon with the item you drop at the end of BlackFathom depths that requires you to backtrack a bit and activate the underwater altar, iirc ;)
Great video. I stopped making detailed videos like you do as I know how painful it is to create a video like this. The prison key drops reminded me of my exalted guides. Long grinds for a simple guide.
Another one I remember was Eck from Gundrak.
@Poison Might be. Been a while. Still, he was a secret boss, not like a heroic end-boss tack-on (like Synestra).
Eck, I hate him :D
I have fond memories of Fairbanks, if only because he was the only secret in WoW I ever discovered on my own. I was jokingly talking about how torch sconces were always secret triggers in cartoons... only for that one to actually be one.
What about the vampire from Scholomance, Kirtonos the Herald? Require's a quest chain and seems to have been forgotten by everyone haha.
And the Paladin epic mount boss in Scholomance :p
almsot none of his secret bosses are the rarest ones, they're all very known
Number 2. I remember that so well and it was so fun actually. It had some depth to it. The entire dungeon. But doing those statues and trying to figuring it out, it was fun.
And about the "how did people figure it out" well, trial and error. If you did it wrong, it just reset and you tried again.
Would really love another video on this. It’s very insightful and had. No idea about the time walking extra boss.maybe top 10 secret or hidden pets or mounts or long quests to get them or get combination of items to make or spawn them?
I remember doing #1 during my noob year of starting W.o.D. And I loved it. It was basically a vivid memory until your video and now I get to reminisce a bit about it. Thank you :3 And have a Merry Christmas.
The sunken temple was one of my favorite dungeons before they changed it. So sad that they cut off that part of the dungeon...
ye, wont forget when i frist time jumped by mistake in that pit at the center xD
@Louise Hayle Same thing in UBRS. You can still access the old bosses by zoning into LBRS and using tools such as the Rogue's grappling hook and parachutes to reach the upper section. Since I don't have the item to summon lord whatshisname in the Beast room, I don't know if it works.
For sunken temple, the statues would light up when you activated them in the right order and would lose the glow if you picked the wrong one so it was just a matter of having someone on 5 of them and seeing when the lights went on/off.
For Atal'talarion a spot light would shine on a statue when you did something (Forgot how just remember the spot light), giving the order in which you had to press em I still remember doing him during my vanilla days, good times good times.
Good video! I will say Nightbane was well known about right when karazhan came out in TBC. My guild was the server first to clear kara back in the day and we knew about him the week in. He was already on the list of bosses needed to kill to be considered the first to clear it.
T0.5 quest series and class quest series were full of hidden bosses.
By the way, one of those bosses killed a lvl70 full 10 players raid in UBRS back in the days
Because you mentioned the hydra rare, it reminded me of the rare Burnig Felguard in the lower blackrock depths with the hidden boss in it, the burning felguard is summoned by the warlock mobs in that dungeon (idk if its widely known) but I found it pretty cool
WoW_ Girl69 never heard of that one, is there any video about it or something?
@@MrConstiii idk if there's any video on it. I was solo'ing the dungeon and ly character was low enough lvl that the warlocks could start the summoning spells and at first they just summoned imps but then I was surprised by the rare. After I killed it I looked it up on wowhead and it says that the rare can only appear through the summoning spell
The Nightbane mount actually has a 20% drop chance increased by each player in the group additively. It only has a 100% drop chance with a full group, which of course was required to defeat the boss while it was curren. But leaves the friendless people returning to the dungeon in later expansions to solo have to rely on a little bit of luck. Nothing outrageous, but interesting fact imo.
Whenever you do a top 10, I normally 90% know them all on the list prior to watching , I’ve played since vanilla and my main at the time was a Druid so I knew Anzu, however that last one .... I have never seen, or heard ANYTHING , ANYWHERE about him , you the first you tuber to mention him and i was shocked in my lack of knowledge
The Lost Vikings references in Uldaman were fantastic. Silicon and Synapse, as Blizzard was originally known, developed some iconic games in the 1990s-and Lost Vikings was no exception. :)
9:50 The altar at the bottom you could click on and it'd tell you which one is next so you'd clear all the platforms then have one person sit at the altar and click it while everyone else runs around.
In regards to Atal"Alarion, my group that I ran dungeons with regularly during Vanilla would actually clear the entire floor, then we would split up and 1 person would sit at one statue and we'd just press them until it worked lol.
I think Algalon is worth noting. Yes, nowadays we all know CITIZENS OF DALARAN, but back in the day that was really something special.
John Andonuts Special? Sure. Secret? Far from it
@@RC-xc2mr yep
he wasn't secret he was heroic only.
Chicken Permission there was no such thing as heroic in ulduar
He was a hardmode boss that was not easy accessible and very difficult. Whether he is secret or not is debatable IMO (I would say no), but he certainly IMO is the most spectacular boss ever. His dialogue, his visuals, the graphic scenario. It was all amazing. Blizzard was in their prime back then.
Summon the Hydra HandsUp - on a serious note, the Sunken Temple secret boss statue click order draws a Star of David if you connect the dots, starting north. That's how you figure out the order.
or you could have clicked on the stone tablet down in the lower room and watch the snake statues light up in order.
Always ready to click a Hiru vid in less than 10 seconds of its upload.
For Dirge's Kickin' Chimerok Chops, you had to get a 500lb chicken/turkey from a very specific, and very powerful mob in Feralas.
the Sunken Temple boss rooms had green light beams that would shine on the snake statues, but it was harder for a pug group to coordinate the clicks than it was when using ventrilo with a premade group that knew the fight.
Y'all don't know how happy I was to get my carrot on a stick when I first started. 3% felt like such a big difference when you're racing your friends.
the alternative quest item was Speedy Racer Goggles www.wowhead.com/item=9653/speedy-racer-goggles#comments the glasses flight masters wore. unique model of the square frame. these would have been super rare today if they hadn't given every player who completed the quest that transmog even if they did not pick that quest reward. The rarity of this object would be people who actually have the gear in their bank. without the 3% I kept up just fine with my groups, and looked good doing it.
I'm a year late, I know, but I'm glad you included Anzu. Anzu is by far my favorite our of the three Arakkoan Gods being Rukhmar, Anzu and Sethe and it took me forever but I finally got the mount, and it's my main ground mount on a few of my toons.
WoTLK pre event had an extra secret boss in Karazhan. You had to beat the first boss, the horseman, then go trough the stables and find its room. They dropped a cool bat pet and one of the guitars and other cool stuff.
It was a vampire boss.
The pet was a vampire bat. I remember we accidentally found the room wondering why that door was suddenly clickable.
@@Wolfsbane1974 Yeah and I think they never rerun that boss, so the pet is a big collectable to this day. Although i wouldn't know since I quit at the end of WOTLK:
The Postmaster in ol' Stratholme?
Or the Dark Keepers of BRD?
Too rare for him, everything on the video is common known bosses
@@9001greg Those aren't rare. Postmaster was a guaranteed spawn while other Stratholme optionals weren't guaranteed. You just need to check the mailboxes until the man spawns.
Dark Keepers was done often for the blood. Also a guaranteed spawn. You just need to right click the name under the portrait in the Black Vault Then it will spawn somewhere. The name plate will tell you where. And the name of the mob as well.
@@tywinlannister8015 Rarer than majority of the ones mentioned.
Remember when Deepfury was a random Rare Elite in Stockades?
I used to love doing a full BRD run back in vanilla- every boss the dungeons were so massive it would literally take hours. Don't forget all the shortcuts you could take though in that place lava swimming and stuff to the respawning room. BRD is one of my favourite dungeons of all time in any game.
Much like Anzu for druids, I'll never forget the Dreadstead boss in Dire Maul at the end of the crazy long warlock mount quest in vanilla. Thankful that I got to experience it before Blizzard changed it so you just GET it when leveling.
Indeed I completed that Dreadsteed mount quest and was determined to remain lvl 60 until I had (TBC was out then, but hadn't been out long). Sadly I got bored waiting for my mates to arrive and killed some elites outside DM while waiting and dinged 61. I was the Warlock that done of the work for the Materials needed for the Mission. We completed it with a Druid Tank NE Priest and 2 other Warlocks who basically got a free ride and had none of the items needed for the summon.
Also done the Flightform Quest chain on a Druid for the Anzu Summon Key but was a long time after the Flightform Mission was removed that I got the Mount.
Also done the green fire Mission on my Warlock. Hard and took a few tries lol.
Paladin mount quest was removed before I finished it on my Paladin, But was once in a Group that helped a Paladin to get his Mount :P
Oh and the Legendary Daggers Mission Chain on a Rogue. Completed that but shortly after a new expansion made those daggers obsolete and it was a little annoying you couldn't use the Skin for a Transmogification.
Oh shit, I thought Ironaya was a part of the dungeon. I always remember doing it.
Yeah you got the items from the first two bosses so you naturally did Ironaya afterwards. It was not that hidden, just like bosses that are part of a quest chain. Yeah someone will do the quest and find them, not really what I would consider hidden.
I would include Valthalak, the last boss for the tier 0.5 set in classic, and Atiesh the demon boss required for the original Atiesh staff questline.
I wasn't expecting to see any on here that I've never killed, but to this day I never knew about Yor, in spite of my hunter from BC having done most of or all of that quest chain.
Zul'Drak has a secret boss after the 2nd boss, and is behind a wall.
The old vanilla AQ world bosses were cool too. Nice video
"Blizzard was very slow on fixing bugs back in the day!" , there we are in 2019 with an entire expansion bugged from A-Z, while being live for almost a year.
dont forget spirit of hakkar in temple with the egg questchain!
9:35, there was a stone that lit up the order and was located above the stairs above where the secret boss spawns
I remember there was a 2D free online game with murloc character. In a stage of the game while you are passing the brigde the hydra was spawning unavoidable. After that game I noticed the WoW and my first job was to lvl till I reach the point to fight with Gahz'ralka.
Holy shit. You just reminded me of something locked away deep within mu memories. I remember that game being a demo so i never got to play more than one level or w.e
Cheers for making me remember something amazing.
I remember farming anzu back in the day...took me two straight months to get it! I was beyond happy when the raven lord finally dropped
For the snake statues in sunken temple there was a stone you could click on one of the balconies that lit up the snake statues with a beam of light in the order you had to press them. No guessing required at all.
Dire Maul tribute runs!!! As a rogue I was almost required. I think you can still do them actually.
I convinced my group to do it recently when we were doing that section.
For whatever reason, I always kept the Shaffar's Stasis Chamber Key in my bag... When the Timwalking started happening for BC, I was all "MY TIME HAS COME!"
There was a Dreadlord in Stratholme that dropped legendary weapons that you could pick up and use against him. Required a chain quest aswell.
that was a part of the legendary quest chain for the legendary staff, in vanilla. not a secret boss.
Yo hiru i love your channel dog, as a vet player for more than 8 years I still learn new things everyday because of you. keep it up, you earned a sub!
The Warlock Epic mount quest chain - Had to summon boss in Diremaul. That and the paladin quest chain for the mounts was long and costly chains.
Whoa. I've run Mana Tombs probably 50 times, been exalted with the Consortium since BC, farmed up dozens of those keys (probably still have a few in an alt bank somewhere), and I never knew about Yor.
I remember farming Anzu with a friend during Wrath, he was a druid so we just crushed the whole dungeon in a minute or so and kept farming it until we both got Anzu.
Did the same thing with my brother hahaha
I had no idea there were a secret boss at the end of that quest line! I almost completed it at one point without knowing xD
I think the Leeroy Jenkins quest was forgotten here, if I remember this correctly you had to rez Leeroy in WOD UBRS and then kill one of the last boss and wait there until Jenkins would show up for an extra follower.
If i remember correctly the statues in Sunken Temple didn't "reset" if you clicked on a wrong one, so once you had cleared all the trash in the corridors you could just run circles around there and click them all and the ones that didn't light up meant 1 at least more lap of clicking (ofc it was still really dull since it took a while to cover all the distance, and many long-term movement buffs like ghost wolf couldn't be used indoors yet, think that got added at the end of wotlk, until then they had the same usage restrictions as mounts... it was a good day when doorways stopped breaking travel-type shapeshiftings!).
I remember farming anzu for a month for the reins of the raven lord. Good times man good times
Vectus and Marduk in vanilla/classic Scholomance are, and always will be, my favorite secret bosses.
About the sunken temple, every time you failed the click order, they would light up in the right order and the lights would go back out and you could re try the clicks again. (not something everyone payed attention to)
With the sautes in ST I'm pretty sure your statue would be unclickable after you click it if the people after you did it in the right order but would become clickable again if the next person in line didn't click the correct one. So you could trial and error it really easily that way. It was something like that anyway. We never looked it up, always just figured it out when we got there. There was definitely some way to just figure it out based on what it would and wouldn't let you click.
#1 took me by surprise. I'm a big time fan of The Burning Crusade, it was my favourite era of WoW. I just don't seem to have any memory of Yor himself. Though, when I look at the loot, I definitely recognize those rings. I must have been aware of their source, but it's gone from memory now, weird.
Little late to the party here :P BUT! Atal'alarion! Even though Sunken Temple has been revamped and are now smaller, you can actually still enter the old halls... they are just empty now. You have to actually go to sunken temple and take the old entrence and then you are free to explore the nostalgia ^^. I really like the fact that you have this one vanilla dungeon, where you can still go and have a look around - just without the mobs.
9:56 People found it out by clicking randomly. When you clicked, the statues would emit a green glow, when you clicked a wrong statue, all lit ones would cancel out and you would learn the order.
I don't even play wow, but these videos are quite interesting.
The boss in sunken temple: the statue order can be learned if you click the altar at the top of the stairs where he spawns.
You can click on the alters multiple times so you get 1 person on each platform and click one until one finally glows then keep clicking and moving between rooms untill all the altars are glowing. It was pretty easy to summon the boss without knowing the correct order in sunken temple.
Hiru forgot to bring up Ashbringer. I know it's kind of irrelevant to the subject of the video but I when I watch a WoW top 10 list I expect some mention of Ashbringer.
james the Ashbringer is tied to no Secret boss quil
@@Spongeyknight6491 r/wooosh
What about the corrupted ashbringer for High Inquisitor Fairbanks?
@@Spongeyknight6491 actually it was and there was a huge quest chain in dire maul library leading up to it and then blizzard decided it would be too op and lore breaking to put it in the game for players hence the item is on the loot table and linkable but unobtainable
Another day, another great video. Happy holidays Hiru!
