Happy Friday, everybody! Today, we venture into the coastal wilds of Feralas to investigate the mysterious Isle of Dread and the naga invasion occurring there. Why are these sea-dwellers here, and what is the story behind this remote island? Let’s find out!

Whoever made the feralas tint should be fired, and blacklisted from ever making games again.
The isle of dread is a D&D reference. There is an old module from 2nd edition with the same name.
It's insane that I've been playing this game for like basically two decades now almost, and there's still places I've never been to and I can discover.
The last cpl weeks of Wrath classic i was out exploring the old world on my stream before Death Wing would blow it up and went here and explored the isle top and bottom finding these areas you feature here . I cant remember if i had been there back in the day but its nice to see this area again
The highborn also were in contact with the burning legion. Is it possible that I was maybe A burning legion relic?
Wonder why Blizzard removed it in Cata
I hoped for an explanation for the giant elite monsters inside the island. I always wondered what they do there.
damn.. played since mid vanilla back in 2004 and i never knew of the hidden underwater section of the cave
I found the secret passage when playing Classic a few years ago when mining for ores. Pretty awesome detail
Pine trees would indicate an older forest.
Yet another awesome video – Feralas one of the more mysterious zones from Classic imo
Back in the day I used to just go and stand in that place and take in all the ambience.
Great video! 😎
There are so many ancient Kaldorei ruins on the west coast of Kalimdor that it would honestly be tempting to try and make a map of their ancient holdings. It goes all the way out to Bloodmyst, iirc. Presumably, it must have been quite heavily populated prior to the Sundering, and MAYBE quite culturally distinct given that it was so far away from the capital? I should re-read the War of the Ancients trilogy sometime, lol.
These videos are so awesome
back in patch 1.1 or something the boundary of the water in that cave was completely broken. you were put in swimming mode from that first arch all the way into the back of the cave (where the temple thing is) as in, you could swim in the air lol
Babe wake up, a new jediwarlock video dropped
4:26 This character appears since WC3 and has become more relevant in later expansions.
Hey man, I wanted to let you know that, while reading the wiki, I realized that there are multiple Blood Elves before TBC. The interesting thing is that most of them are in the Blasted Lands and, not only that, the main quest chain in the zone sends you to Azshara to meet the only Demon Hunter found before TBC and there's even a blood elf camp in Azshara too. I think this is part of the cut content of the Vanilla Outland.
I just visited that cave a few weeks ago with my level 80 character cause I wanted to both explore and mine minerals to support engineering on my alt, and I noticed that secret underwater cave extension, I was so astonished (after all these years, I just found it so recently)!
It really peaked my curiosity as to what the purpose might be and what else is there… but unfortunately it just ends there. :] Which is pretty much how I expect WoW mysteries to end lol, with a dead end.
What I remember most about the Isle of Dread is the Chimaerok that you have to kill during the scepter of shifting sands quest-chain
You should get a job at Blizz writing quests.
Hi Jedi!
I wonder why we don't see these kinds of mysteries in the game as much anymore. I doubt the development team is out of ideas. Maybe management is bleeding them dry on "content" for the game and they literally don't have the time or energy to add anything else?
I was hoping this was a video about the interior of the Isle of Dread,… it has a lot of elites and interesting stuff. I stealthed around on my rogue and saw some amazing stuff… but I haven't been back in a longtime… so I was hoping this was about the whole island…
Nice to finally see a video on this place and get some answers! 😅Good stuff!
The memory of finding this place in classic has alawys stuck with me and pops up every now and then. Such a cool setting and mystery
This cave's history and changelog!
in 0.5.3 the cave is present but hidden away slightly by the terrain.
in 0.7 they added the ruins around the cave making it more visible.
in 0.10 they changed the cave to the model we know today, including the hidden away portion.
-5461 3657 -1 1, are the worldport coords for just in front of the cave
and then cata came out and they sunk it
I never thought the old gods were really involved in Vanilla but there are a few interesting hints hidden here and there. Weren't you also thinking about making a video about the Wetlands murlocs being connected to the old gods?
Dude, what the fuck? I've never seen this part of that cave and I ALWAYS quest in Feralas…
i was literally in that cave the other day for mining but it was contested and also a bit packed with mobs so i left, i'm gonna check out the underwater passage for sure now
Bro I was literally there a few days ago on warmane wotlk, an odd place for sure
The Isle of Dread is a dungeons and dragons reference
Yay new video!
i know
Another destination to hit! 😀
I farmed with my rogue in that cave because I had that cave for myself and that secret underwater cave was so cool. I remember killing that rarespawn and I got blue item from it 😮
classic Blizzard. dropping the ball on unsolved mysteries that were spurred up in Classic wow. such a god dang shame about SoD.
I still do not understand how did the isle of dread collapse
Thank you, such a amazing video
5:30 "In typical Classic-WoW fashion, the questline ends and we never learn the full history of the relic".
I swear to God : between the whole in-game place in Stonetalon mountains, the Guld'dan skull in Darkshore, the corruption threatening the Swamp of Sorrows, the whole Deadwind Pass region serving no point, plane hidden high between the east coast of Arathi and the land, the Arathi pirates doing nothing, the 10 (probably more) Naga excavations leading to nothing, the sickness of the wetland, the forbidden genuinly super sad story of the cockroach vendor in Undercity, the goblin and gnome deadly Mad Max races through the Thousand Needles, the map error of Desolace, the 6 orphans of Stormwind being totally demoniac, the unused den at the very south of Kalimdor, the forbidden NPC of the Badlands…
And all places between places where players are not supposed to go be private servers loves to put an event into…
I swear I thought Season of Discovery would have been about all of these old mysteries, and many more because I thought they would put Vanilla contents they had to cut because of the lack of time for developping it.
Personal Anecdote: I was doing those quests back in 2005. Soloing those naga wasn't easy. It took me a bit to clear all the way to the entrance of the cave. I had just stepped inside the cave, and i sat down to replenish my mana (warlock) as it suddenly started to rain outside the cave, quite noisily. A very strong rain, with thicc fog … It was the most immersive experience i had with the game at that time, and that moment stuck with me all this time. Is funny how a very simple, mundane even, moment can make such a big impact.
I love this game and is because of moments like this.. not because of the massive raids or shinny epics… which yeah i do love too, who doesn't… but the feeling of adventure i felt back then is something that not only was amazing… it can never be recreated imo.
Another super cool video 🙂
hi just wanted to give you a GZ on graduating btw, I've been subbed a long time and just caught this fresh drop, thank you for all the good content

Let’s goo ❤
