"Dungeons were ment to only visited once." "Scholomance is the only place to craft Flask until BWL" makes perfect sense :p

The fact that I could pull up thottbot, do ST with it up the whole time, complete it, then go right back in it and immediately have no fucking clue what was going on is a testament to how complicated that place was.

You should have done a "Longest dungeon of each expansion". "10 Longest Dungeons in World of Warcraft" is pretty much a love letter to the Classic dungeons.

The bosses look like they're taking a class picture on school picture day

Wait... there’s mushrooms that guide the way in Wailing Caverns?

i'm kind of surprised maraudon didn't make the list.

I will never forget the day we went Blackrock Depths and cleared it for the first time completely, this was just wonderful.

Don't forget the Grim Guzzler deep inside BRD, where you had the Thorium Brotherhood faction vendor and several quests, just getting there many times was time consuming

Blackrock Depths is hands down my all time favorite dungeon.

I love large dungeons. The best part of classic was running multiple groups through the massive ones, showing them all the pulls and bosses. You spent like 2 hours with these people, it was great!

11:35 it was confirmed by john staats in the "wow diary" book that they had planned to put an extra "wing" with more bosses behind bael'gar but they stopped themselves because they thought it had too many bosses already

Calling the horses in Shadowfang Keep a boss is quite the stretch, also the ghost soldier is a rare that does not always spawn guaranteed. So there are 8.5 bosses max.

I remember spending like 8 hours clearing BRD in vanilla, WC used to take like 3-4 hours lol

5:51 Not the Arathi Highlands. It takes place in the Hinterlands.

5:55 Don't want to be that guy, but quest chain for mallet of zul'farak is in hinterlands and not in arathi highlands

I love how old dungeon told a story through questing in and around the instance. Setting the tone at first with some quests or maybe promise of good loot says an other adventurer. Then once you'e there the rooms, the layout, the enemies and to a bigger extend the bosses tell a story both about the place you are in but the events that lead to you the player coming in there. Hopefully acheiving some goal that's moraly good.

We all knew what number one was gonna be.

I much prefer longer dungeons with optional bosses. My all-time favourite dungeon is Blackrock Depths because of this

I actually did BRD all the way through during BC as a newbie. The final boss room had skull mobs to me, and it took my team (A PUG, believe it or not) eight hours to clear it out. Best time of my life.

I remember doing Temple of Atal'Hakkar ONCE during WotLK, and I thought it was so epic since it lasted over an hour to do. Sadly I only ever did it once before it was changed in Cata. For a long time though I thought that the dungeon was super secret because no matter how many dungeons I did I never saw the long dungeon again, until I realized that the shortened Sunken Temple was the dungeon I was remembering.

2004: "Quantity over quality." 2020: "No quantity but also no quality."

The Sunk Temple was the first reason i ever looked up something about WoW on line. Some one in my guild had mention there was a certain order needed to click the statues and funny enough i still have the note book i wrote it down on in my desk all these years later. Black Rock Depths used to be my guilds end game back in the day we would spend hours upon hours in there fun times

Its been so long since i played wow. And i never rly look at New content no more.. except from these videos you make. I listen to them as a mini podcast when im relaxing. Thanks again for another great video👌

People seem to dislike Sunken Temple in my experience, but I love it... Kind of long-winded, but it truly feels like a DnD-type of WoW dungeon, similar to BRD in a way. Zone in to this city/temple, and you are given a mysterious sandbox to explore. I prefer the mystique of Sunken Temple to BRD.. a much more alien and hostile atmosphere.

5:51 you don't get the Malet of Zul'Farak from a quest chain or from from Arathi Highlands. You just loot it in Hinterlands and ring the gong atop Jintha'alor. It's an unmarked quest.

I like how this is just classic dungeons

Man great video. Spent soo much time in these places in Vanilla. These old dungeons were adventures inside the game that could take literal days if you didn't have a good group of people to run them with. And even then if you were just plain unlucky the run back was painful. Today's dungeons are super quick speed runs in the hope they drop gear. Though they still look great none will ever have that "Oh crap I'm never leaving this place - its 3am and I really either need to give up and sleep or push through" And MBB addon is your friend. It hides all the mini buttons on the mini map and puts them into one button.

I don’t even play wow, but I still love watching your videos. Keep up the great work dude!

I miss being young... playing this game. It was so beautiful :')

I really love Dire Maul after playing vanilla and going and exploring it with my friends. It's so huge but the atmosphere is just really cool and there's a whole lot of little details if you go explore there. Like I wish there was an mmorpg out there tailored to people who just wanna go out and go into massive complexes to explore or enjoy immersive gigantic instanced experiences . As I've gotten older I just like that sort of thing in MMOs while I get my mechanical mastery kicks from Roguelikes.

This video was super 👍 Can't wait for top 10 longest raids

I love Fel's editing 💚

Best parts of these videos: listening to Hiruma say "fustrated" and "foilage".

I remember the one with the trees and the ogre taking a long time to beat. I'm not sure how many bosses they were but I remember they're were so many, that I only got the end twice I think.

waking up on a saturday to think BRD full run yes man those were the days. Might not need any loot but I loved that place and the respawning room in vanilla was so funny. It also had a shortcut with dropping off the platform and firewalking to go straight to the iron forge. So much nostalgia

Hi Hiru, I have some interesting fun facts and/or correction about this topic: - Blackrock Spire actually used to be one instance with a single instance portal at the place BEFORE the square-shaped room which splits up into the upper and lower portions. It is very unique in that, the same instance had two sections, one tuned for 5, the other for 10 people (with a limit of 15 people who could enter, later lowered to 10 in patch 1.10). - Stratholme is still a single instance, despite the two sections being physically separated by the lowered gate now after the Cataclysm revamp. You can see through the gate, and if you clear one part, then enter the other one, you can still see the results of your work. - Minor thing, but the Blackwing Lair instance portal was in Upper Blackrock Spire, not BRD. Actually I'm pretty sure the green instance portal that leads to BWL is still there after the revamp in WoD, but the area is gated off. Not 100% sure though. And just an opinion, what they did to Sunken Temple is a disgrace. There was no reason to remove over half of it, they could have just cut it into parts for the dungeon finder like they did with Baraudon and BRD. I wish they added back its full version, maybe as a revamped max level mega dungeon.

The crux of using some sort of metric to measure "dungeon length" - Everyone who has played Scholo knows that it's not as long as it seems from the boss count, as 6 of the bosses are minibosses that drop less / sometimes no loot before the final boss appears. Yes, they have their own room, but there is very little trash to clear before them.

HIRU, I love your videos they’re so good

That clip of Black Burrow in EverQuest just made me super nostalgic...

Maraudon? I don't know how that isn't on the list I spent literal hours in that place. Traumatic

Top 10 raid bosses with the most /least amount of changes. A history of world bosses.

I can see how logically Blizzard moved away from large dungeons after Vanilla but they are super cool, and I enjoy most of them in Classic. I can't say I like sunken temple that much, that one can be really confusing, and also the gear is mostly trash.

A DnD channel, a WoW channel, a Yugioh channel....this guy puts in the work.

Hiru, make more vids they are all excellent.

Hope you all like the video! See you in the shadowlands!

I love the mega dungeons. Try to image a wow where the last couple of level was gain by doing theise dungeons up til max lvl and beyound ash a appetizer toward raiding. I find that there is a lot of ways the history of wow could had played out differently.

was expeting Halls of stone :D That tribunal takes.....AGES! :D

I'm still salty about how they butchered Sunken Temple, it was and still is one of my favorite dungeons. I gladly revisited it in Classic a few times, before I dropped the game for various reasons.

Great vid. Thanks

Nice video bro really interesting

Love BRD. Back in day it never feel long because it was fun to play with People who talk and dont rage quit after you pull extra group of mobs or onlye come for one boss I stil love how old BRD look

Hiru please, "than" not "then"

I haven't even started watching this, and I already can tell, what would be number one

Maraudon deserves at least an honorable mention. "Only" 8 bosses, but it was one giant, sprawling, compliex instance in vanilla.

I remember I talked the main shaman and warrior from my guild to do BRD with me and we were in there for literally 7 straight hours trying to clear alone. Fun times

The most annoying part of the dungeons with the pre-dungeon “maze” is that if you’re the last person and you’re not the healer, people will do what was intended and start grinding elite packs while waiting....and eventually getting into the dungeon while you’re alone and gotta try and make it to the instance solo. BRD...the only dungeon you gotta clarify which bosses you’re gonna kill, the path you’re taking to those bosses, and if others need certain loot to decide if you are interested.

2:40 I was today years old when I learned that some mushrooms, ... (as one might find in a cave and not think about a second time until 16 years later) ... indicated a path.

I agree that Sunken Temple is on this list of long dungeons, both boss count and size. But i must add that it kinda has 11 if you count that tiny hole in the large room before the final boss. It killed atleast 1 per run, and yes, i have fallen into it multiple times.

I love big dungeons, it feels like you are exploring and not just wandering down a corridor shooting gallery.

Holy shit.. you made me remember the wailing caverns, feels like ages ...well about 10 years since I've done it

How about "the longest dungeons of each expansion (+Classic)"?

I remember back in the days entering BRD around 10 pm and we wanted to clear the dungeon. We came out at 5 am and probably did not clear it entirely. Good times !

Brd is legendary. I HATED it back in the day because of how confusing it was. But after private server and classic play throughs, it holds a special place in my heart.

I played back then and a lot of these were full day events and it’s something I miss about retail. The instant gratification of downing boss after boss and then queuing for a new dungeon is great short term, but nothing will beat the sense of pride we all got when we beat Strat for the first time.

I remember in BC when I was new to WoW, I spent a whole day with a group doing Blackrock depths. Was such a great experience a dungeon can have so much content

We used to say "Baron Run" and "Scarlet Side" for Stratho. Here's the thing: you didn't have to do everything. This is especially the case of BRD. Once you geared up a little, you could also go and do stuff in two people, especially stealth with Rogues and Druid. I helped a friend getting a tier 1.5 piece and we did the boss only 1 druid 1 rogue (we had purples). I think it was Dire Maul. And more importantly, these places felt "real". BRD felt like an evil drwarf city, not a place arranged to make your boss killing as comfortable as possible.

You were able to raid all the dungeons when Wow launched. Thats why alot of these places are so huge. My first raid was Scholomance at level 42 on my warlock. The agro range was ridiculous XD

I didn't even know you had channels other than Duel Logs. I clicked on this by chance lol.

wait WHAT! you have a DnD channel? never knew that man you can count me in xD

I remember the first time I was able to do a full BRD sweep with a group of rando's back in the day, a little over 6 hours. Kinda bothers me attacking a dungeon from a decade and a half ago felt more like storming a city than Ny'alotha ever could.

i just loved BRD, i boosted so many randoms there, just so i had a reason to do it :D first time i did part of it i was amazed, it was like a game inside a game!

May we add Uldaman, Maraudon, and Gnomeregan as runner ups, those take forever 😭

Hey how do I find your D&D channel? It isn't showing up in the video description D:

what are the addons you are using for actionbars healthbars and other?

BRD is/was my favorite dungeon. Felt so epic back in the day

How did you get to BWL from BRD? I know before the torch room you could get to MC but I don't ever remember there being a way to get to BWL other than the orb outside BRS(at least in vanilla).

Man... old school Wailing Caverns. Such great rewards, drops and experience but holy hell it was long and convoluted. And at that low of a level if you went in there with a group that wasn't quite up to par, you were in for a long, painful instance.

I miss the BRD runs. One evening, 2 hours with friends, that was cool

Wow I completely read the title as 'Top 10 Longest *DRAGONS* in WoW' - I was expecting this to be a much more interesting video because of that! XD

Wow classic was a lot of fun, especially earlier on when dungeons were run like dungeons between 5 struggling heroes and not just “WTS BOOST” spam

I remember when I played wow years ago, my dungeon finder would only let me play these dungeons. I had no idea they were some if the longest in the game. My favorite was wailing caverns. Thought it was cool. And my least favorite was spire because it did take all day to beat it. Tons of exp tho so worth it.

You forgot to add the shaman/paladin summon boss for scholomance. Just pointing it out since you added Vectus and his lackey(a boss the majority of dungeon groups skip, the first group I went with skipped them even though I specifically told em I will willingly pass on all gear if we do Vectus as well, me passing gear was the only reason they even took me)

BRD is definitely one of my favorite dungeons. Back in the day when you had to actually look for groups manually going there was an absolute massive adventure. I remember spending many days in there and whilst it was exhausting I still have very fond memories of it. So much so that I'd be very much willing to go back to that time and do it all over again just for that feeling.

Blackrock Depths were sort-of split into Outer BRD and Inner BRD (everything after the locked door close to the portal) And holy crap, BRD was epic.

I thought Gnomeregan would make it to this list. I don't know how many bosses it had, but it seemed enourmous and was infamous for it.

Next do a raid one! "Coming in at number one, Siege of Orgrimmar, taking anywhere between 8 to 10 service days to clear!"

"Strat Scarlet" and "Strat Baron" were how we used to call the sections of Stratholme back in the day. Good old times.

Blackrock Depths.. god the first weeks in this Dungeon where magical. Discovering more and more pushing deeper and deeper. And then developing skips and "speedrun strats" to make it less annoying after 20 clears :D

You've definitely got me all misty-eyed watching this. The dungeons used to be an experience, in many cases a culmination of a long quest chain, dripping in game lore. Don't get me wrong I love the new style 3 bosses , minimal trash but the feeling of going through somewhere like BRD , or Dire Maul, even places like Gnomeregan, exploring all the nooks and crannies is what made wow vanilla what it was.

Thanks!

Can you talk about all the different kinds of flooring throughout azeroth?

Dire Maul made my Leatherworking Hunter rich. The day DM opened I got the Hide of the Wild recipe, the first one on the server, I believe. I made a LOT of them over the next few months.

That bit with hearthstone in scholomence how theres a demon hunter with a bow and is essentially illidan makes me think that if they get a 3rd spec itll be a ranged in somewhat contrast to how regular hunters have a melee spec

Vanilla dungeons are pure savage - Maraudon, BRD, the full sunken temple, etc

I like that they cut down the crap in Cata.

Man I loved Stratholme so much, i grinded that thing for 6 months for the mount, so good for gold aswell. BRD was a love-hate relationship.

I hated getting to the level for blackrock depths and spire because most players skipped most of the dungeon to get the satchel of helpful goods asap

Good content, as always, but the real question is: *what percentage of viewers is actually subscribed to the channel?*

I love felplague's editing style she has made me laugh multiple times with her silly jokes!

There is no link in the videos description for the second channel
