I think Drustvar is one of -- if not THE -- most underrated zones in the game; it's got great aesthetics, creepy vibes, witch covens, occult rituals, horrific monstrosities, and a haunted mansion dungeon! What more could you want out of a WoW zone???

Nothing more terrifying than a carousel of baby tauren spinning around like they’re rotisserie chicken or something

With the Abby quest...afterward you talk to someone and mention Abby, and they mention that she had died some time ago. So who or what were you interacting with? After you complete the quest she vanishes and there is no evidence she had ever been there, and the stuff placed during the quest also appears to have been there for some time.

Shout out to the poor human lady in the Undercity with no will of her own. She's traumatized me since day 1 of playing WoW. And man, this is some really neat stuff. Drustvar pulling through once again as the complete spoopy package.

I remember feeling creeped out when I went down the bottom of ICC for the Arthas' heart quest and met that ghost boy, Matthias, in a cave full of faceless ones…

Thaddius background dialogue is creepy as hell. Best example starts with a female voice saying something akin to “help me! SAVE ME!” Followed by a deep male voice saying “STOP SCREAMING”

Say what you want about the quality of BFA. But I'll give it props for some of the crazy dark stuff it had.

Duskwood was such a great and creepy zone. I remember well still being pretty new to the game and doing Stalvan and Abercrombie's quests.

One of the things that truly bothered and disturbed me was in Valsharah, there's a quest there where the owlkin have gone crazy, and literally started using magic or alchemy to MELT local dryads into slime monsters. Absolutely sickening. Hated doing that quest.

im supprised you didnt list a Ur'zul which is a creature made up of the dranai that wasnt able to evacuate in time from argus, all mashed together into a abomination which you can get as a mount

Drustvar is one of two zones in all of BFA that I really enjoyed, because the questing was so good. The other one being the troll swamp with all the creepy cannibal voodoo happening.

Ahhh I woulda put Yogg-Saron on here. It's one of those cases where you gotta consider the build up to Ulduar and even his reveal at the end of it. Cause there was no dungeon journal back then, he wasn't revealed in the Ulduar trailer, just hinted. There was nothing. We just started learning about dark whispers in underground places, a mad Titan keeper, a world tree that got corrupted and started spreading that corruption around it to a point where it had to be demolished, and a mystery of three missing Titan Keepers, and the remaining one, Thorim, too depressed to bother doing anything. The Faceless ones in Ahn'Kanet and beneath Icecrown throw some hints around as well, but to any normal player before Ulduar was released, we just assumed Warcraft 3 references, left over minions from the 'Forgotten One' that Arthas killed on his way to Icecrown. But no, suddenly Thorim is motivated again to confront Loken, immediately taken by a Tentacle, the Halls of Stone mentioning that Ulduar is a prison, Loken spouting he has a Master who will take down the Titan Pantheon when he's released... And then the trailer for Ulduar just saying Brann found out it's Yogg-Saron's prison. EVEN THEN, the majority of the raid is taking on the Titan creations and freeing the Keepers. You get a view down into the prison, but you just see a random Vrykul woman sitting in a pool. The Keepers mention you need their help if Yogg-Saron is going to be contained again. Heading down and killing a unique (at the time) model Faceless one surrounded by Twilight cultists, you get into his cell, and the Vrykul lady just sounds like she's on your side throughout the whole first phase. Then her voice changes, she transforms into a Val'kyr, suddenly up pops Yoggies head and he is just teeth among teeth for every orifice. Mouth, Nose, Eyes, Ears, all maws of sharp teeth. And suddenly the fight has an Insanity mechanic, you can't even look at him. C'Thun might've been the first reveal of Old Gods, but he wasn't nearly as fleshed out. Yogg-Saron was our first instance into learning what kind of beings we're dealing with, and has been the purest form of Eldritch Horror fight the game has produced. N'Zoth had far more build up, but still never managed to compared to the atmosphere that Yogg-Saron presented over half of the entire continent of Northrend.

I love Crendor's Pointless Top 10s, I remember watching these back in high school and I'm so happy he is still around making stuff and I still find his content enjoyable and entertaining after all these years

Maybe because I recently did these quests again but Gorgrond had some creepy stuff going on too. The Crimson Fen with spores that choke out your vision and thoughts and drive you insane with all of those zombies walking around. But also a couple of the Botani quests in the south where you find out that any victims they don't transform into those plant zombies, they fatten up with fruits, honey and mead to later be used as mulch

you missed the cat in the stormwind horrific visions that asks you to kill a rat for it because he is just "so hungry" and if you do, the rat will beg you to stop and when it dies it turns into a human, and the cat thanks you and starts eating him.

There's also that quest in Zandalar where you meet a ghost kid that wants to unite with his mother. it turns out the mother had killed his own child in order to gain immortality. You end up killing her and the can be together...

Two of these are in Drustvar, and two from Duskwood, fits very well frankly, bit surprised that there aren't any from Nazmir though.

One of my favourite bits of the Cata revamp involves Stalvan, his brother Tobias was in Gilneas until the Worgen joined the Alliance so once Tobias is free to travel he goes to Duskwood looking for Stalvan and nobody is giving him a straight answer. Fast forward through a few quests and eventually Eva sends you to Manor Mistmantle where Stalvan rises from the grave and confronts Tobias, saying something along the lines of "everyone just sees me as a monster, what would you know about that" and then, surprise (unless you did the worgen start zone), Tobias shifts into his Worgen form and helps you kick the shit out of Stalvan. It's a really cool double threat of tying into the old zone lore with a revamp quest and introducing the Worgen to the Alliance questing experience in a way that reflects on what it means to be a monster, be it through appearance or through actions.

What I like about Stalvan is he reminds me of the old Magic: The Gathering card "Uncle Istvan"... Uncle Istvan was one of my earliest cards and I remember having him fight crazy huge monsters that are like 10/10s... The reason Uncle Istvan can do that is he is a 3 black 1 uncolored mana human creature who is 1/3 BUT has the text "Prevent all damage that would be dealt to Uncle Istvan by creatures." Fighting a huge leviathan creature? A mighty colossus? Doesn't matter, none of them can hurt this old man, who, by the way, is an old hermit living in the woods with an axe covered in blood and a skull hanging from it... His flavor text says "Solitude drove the old hermit insane. Now he only keeps company with those he can catch." Makes me want a Halloween deck...

Not sure if you've done this, but talking about the Interrogator Vishas voicelines made me want to see a Pointless Top 10 best voice-acted characters in WoW. That would be cool to see!

Thanks for making my overnight shift more tolerable Crendog

Drustvar is my second favorite zone in BfA (Vol'dun takes number 1 for me). I remember being VERY creeped out by the Abby Lewis questline.

I thought Challe eating horde babies was weird, and then I saw a baby Tauren pass by and was like, "maybe she's onto something, cuz I could go for a steak rn."

I may not play WoW anymore, may never play it again, but I will NEVER miss a fresh Wowcrendor video!

imagine beating back waves of undead, demons, and other nightmareish monsters, getting to the final chamber of a raid dungeon, and this little 6 year old girl is sitting there, saying nursery rhymes, and then when you all apporoach, she goes hostile, has like more HP than any other boss, and starts killing people left and right, while skipping around and humming. Pretty sure even Sargaeras would shit his pants.

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but the reason the kids do their thing at 7AM is because its the time equivalent of 6:66 aka 7:06AM.

You have been on fire recently. Keep up the great work! Always love when you upload

nice video thanks! No 9 obvsly is about Sid Vicious from Sex Pistols and Nancy his gf, the IRL story is creepier than the wow one XD

That panicked children one is some classic wow horror vibe. Holy phuck.

Drustvar is one of the most intensely atmospheric zones -- utterly relentless from start to finish. I like the Zandalar islands a lot more than the Kul'Tiran ones, but Drustvar easily tops.

You could make a top 10 creepy list out of Drustvar alone. Hands down the scariest zone in the game and I love it for that. I remember seeing one of the beastmen on the beta and freaking out lol I hate pigs

I don't play wow but I think that makes this series better for me.

Duskwood, Gilneas, Drustvar. They really nailed the look. The sound, the vibe of them. Luckily you can always go to Grizzly Hills to decompress.

I always thought that witch in the jade forest who turns people to stone was really unsettling. It seems kinda stupid but they really did the atmosphere right in that quest chain.

The creepy child from Drustvar re-appears during the kul'tiran heritage armor quest....she sacrifices a dog this time.

Abby was the first thing that came to my mind. I actually got chills when I did that quest.

There was an undead vendor out in the forest on Darkmoon Island that sold an... interesting collection of meat. Not sure if that vendor is still there today.

Drustvar is still one of my favorite zones. And the little kid singing was the best creepy thing EVER. I wish they would put her into the game again, somewhere else, and make her a reoccurring quest object so we spend time trying to find her in every expansion to see what she's up to this time. A raid boss would be good, once, but doing her as someone in a cave doing stuff or some backwater house making a cat quilt, or something would actually be fun to try to find each expansion.

Drustvar was aaaamaaazing to quest in! It was so creepy and fascinating. I really, really enjoyed the stories. The pig-men were just so out there. I think it was like the first zone of the expansion or one of the first two you could pick or something like that. And it was just so out there. That first town that had like no quests and the town was cursed by that effigy and you couldn't interact with it. It was really cool. I'd love to see more horror/creepy themed places in the future. Really neat!

Drustvar also has a quest where you find a dead puppy that was sacrificed at a pentagram and reincarnated as a wicker beast

Holy smokes Crendor, this was one of the best ones you've done, so much stuff I had no idea about. And that number 1 spot..... YIKES

What about Krond the Butcher? He's based on a real life serial killer game dev!

Stitches is my personal number 1 because I started playing in WOTLK and not knowing anything got taken on the scythe of Elune quest to Darkshire, and then this thing comes barreling down the road at me.

The things in Drustvar are quite awesome, but I would have included something from Stormsong valley and one of the blood creatures from Zandalaar as well. BFA had some great visual and story elements so I am glad you included it when most write it off.

You should do top ten zombies or ghouls

I would've had to riot if Thaddius wasn't on this list lol. Every time I'm in naxx I kill him first so I don't have to hear those screams 😭😭

Fun fact about Raal the Gluttonous, he's not the only one transformed into a pig. Most of the pigs in Drustvar are people and a lot of your quests have you going around killing them.

The pig boss is a reference to the swine in DD? 😂😅 I love that lol -

Drustvar was the best zone out of BfA. My sister has a friend who works at Blizzard, and that friend was part of the team that made the Drustvar questlines. Abbey Lewis was their creation.

OMG #1 is SOOO true. I recently came back to WOW after 14 years. Been leveling different characters though the different expansion. She is the creepiest npc I have come across. My guildmates were laughing at me bc I was so creeped out lol....love the vid

The early zones of BFA, much like the early parts of the expansion, were really good. It got totally off the rails, but it had so much potential

The “destroy the child” jokes that would fly in a hypothetical Abby Louis raid boss would be hysterical

I think this video deserves a part two. I love videos like this.

Drustvar was an amazing zone. My favorite for the expansion. It is extremely dark, and the horror aspects were incredible. The zone is the exception to everything else recently as of late.

You know what Rawl (hope I spelled that right) the Gluttonous reminds me of? There’s a Batman villain called Professor Pyg, just that guy if he was a chef.

Fun fact crendor- interogator vishas has just been restored in retail

BfA had more blood and guts than any other expansion in wow. Nazmir literally blood fountains. Everything Drust was blare witch levels of screwed up, and the horde did the most stright up Evil things ever.

I don't know why but I find pigs (like number 2) really scary

imagine dedicating an entire expansion to killing a little girl for killing a cat. Now thats some John Wick shit right there.

Of all the expansions, BFA may not be the most fun one, but to me it has the best art design, music and world building.

What about the Suramar city kids singing something happy that ends in OUTSIDE LIES DOOM!

Another creepy area is also the upstairs in the Stormwind Barbershop, the owner has tried to cram a Gnome skeleton under a floor plank and hid it under a carpet.

I think the whole deal with the field in Hillsbrad Foothills growing humans/zombies/slaves (can't remember the expansion) should have made this list!

I think they should put a goblin inside of that statue in Booty bay and name it Crendor

The best kind of notification Is a new crendor video

The horde impaling a women to a wall with a child crying is common in wow. The horde always win and the alliance never get justice.

"[...] I always take a shot at the Jailor when I can." Go Crendor! Like thank goodness the level was squished down but Shadowlands itself was the least fun part of Shadowlands. Also Prot Pallys even without any points into their Stronghold Tree were just broken. I miss it so much >.

So Stalvan is a huge reference, bordering on ripoff, of the vampire Strahd von Zarovich of the Ravenloft D&D adventure.

Fun fact: Thaddeus was stitched together only from women and children. That’s the cries you hear.

Rewatching. Something just occurred to me: the Pig Boss. Have you ever seen (or read) Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? in it, there's a cow who is in a restaurant, serving himself to patrons. "Oh, you fancy ribs, I've got some really juicy ones. Or perhaps a steak...." I now know where they got the Pig Man reference. Took me watching it again months later to figure that one out.

Damn that #10 is dark.

Okey, i may need to do the Alliance BfA leveling.

I'm glad I didn't watch this right before bed I might have gotten nightmares from all this spookiness! 😨

The woman troll killing kids and others seems to be based on Lady Bathory from history, though her story's exaggerated over the centuries.

In Warhammer 40K the Emperor's Children had an apothecary known as Thaddius the Fleshshaper, well known for performing experiments on innocent people to create his fleshwarped abominations. Thaddius in Warcraft appears to be an homage to this character.

This video dropped right on time for break at work gonna have to play some WoW when I get home now

Dr Theolen Krastinov is my #1 for creepiest NPC in WoW.

Rogue in Strands: Stun stun stun Vanish!...Stealth....Stun stun stun stun...... Rogue in STN: haha stupid noob get ganked! Billy the Orc: but your 40 levels higher than me! Rogue in STN: Shut Up Noob!

I'm so glad you added Abby!

number 10 made me feel bad and want to defect

On #10, people forget how fucking metal BFA started as. It had so much potential. Probably the best launch of any expansion right up there with WOTLK. The community was really divided on the destruction of Teldrassil and it really fractured on faction lines and there is a giant sword killing our planet. Blizzard just dropped the ball really hard trying to set up Shadowlands and a horribly out of place naga raid. The warbringers cinematic is still the best even if this expansion ended as a wet fart.

Drustvar is Brother Grimm's Fairytales as a zone

Abby Lewis is a direct reference of the American Legend of Abigail Williams. A young girl who was accused of being a witch, but she disappeared when she was supposed to receive her sentence. To this day, she is believed to had made a deal with the Devil and disappeared with him. Took me a couple of days to look this up because I knew it sounded familiar.

Dr. Weevil drops a key that allows you to tame certain mechanical pets. He used to be mobbed 24/7.

Man this video makes me want to go back to WoW after 10 years to just explore all the zones and new content.

Holy sh*t, I had no idea that little girl I quested for and wrote a real life book for had that creepy of a storyline.. the tea party ritual is horrifying

One of my favourite zones and zone storylines in the game

15:04 ok.. if that girl owns the Necronomicon, then she has to be the creepiest npc in the game

Fun fact about thaddius most people gloss over: in one of their voice lines, you can hear in the background an angry masculine voice demanding that their victim stops screaming. Turn your volume up and listen close to all the lines.

Drustvar was a top tier zone. Boralus was a top tier hub as well.

There is also that quest of that woman that sacrificed her own daughter to.bwomsandi for inmortality.

The very first one made me realize something. A proper Alliance vs Horde *war* expansion could have been absolutely amazing if players could play a bigger role in it. Instead of setting up little quest hubs and dealing with internal crap. Make us fight on the front lines and have us partake in some good old fashioned warcrimes, it'll be great! The siege of Lordaeron and the fight through Ashenvale and into Darkshore were actually kinda fun. Why'd Blizzard have to ruin it by cramming 4-5 expansions worth of storylines into 1?

You should have had Timmy on this list. The mini boss from Statholme. In the Warcraft 3 campaign he was a turned into a ghoul with some semblance of humanity but by the time you find him in the dungeon he’s fully gone. I also love the zombie heads from Wrath preexpandion event for the apothecary. They whisper things to you from your bag and go between consciousness and mindlessness craving brains over and over or crying at the horror of the things they’d done to their families etc.

Havent watched this young man in a while. Glad bes still around :). Still doing wow content. Hell yes

Just a tac on the end I believe at the end of her quest the woman you save says Abby was presumed dead a long time ago which means it’s either an illusion created by the coven or her ghost.

This was an excellent list.

I remember hearing that thaddeus was made exclusively with children and women, def bumps up the creepines for me

There is only one riperdoc in cyberpunk, Vik. Everytime, from start to finish, always went all the way back to Vik cause he's the real deal.

Very nice list! IMO upside down sinners could be there too.

10 is still wild that people will say the Horde isn't evil. It is but whenever they get caught they sacrifice their warchief to PR. Sylvanas' Horde wasn't a "Minority" of the Horde. If it was, Saurfangs Rebellion & the Alliance would have cleaned house no problem. Instead it was made out to be that they were evenly matched with Sylvanas' Horde or straightup outnumbered by it. Every race participated in this attack (maybe not Tauren or Belves, I don't remember seeing those but particularly not Belves) so it's not like it was just a forsaken thing. The Horde is full of warcriminals.
