Is G'huun G'hone?

Let’s face it, a lot of what happens during and after Uldir is… preeeeeettty underdeveloped. That being said, I was just wondering if, lorewise, we were actually able to permanently kill G’huun? I mean, he is classified as an “Old God” after all, and to my knowledge it isn’t possible for mortals to kill Old Gods, just send them into remission. Even when the titans tried to kill one (cough cough Y’shaarj cough) it still left bits and pieces of him that became… other things…

So is G’huun alive, dead, or left in remnants that become something equally troublesome?

so he is an old god, just one that was made by the titans, and two, he is dead in the canon

Horde are well equipped for this. Sounds like a job for the Forsaken.

We can trap him inside of a blight filled water tank to make sure he’s dead.

If he’s already taken care of then that’s kind of anticlimactic. Zul has been planning this coup for over a decade if not longer, and we just waltz in and wreck everything in less than a week. Just think, if Rastakhan had been a bit more patient he wouldn’t have had to sell his soul (and his daughter’s) for no reason.

This was gonna happen anyways…they are joining the horde. They just went from one dead figure to another…

I mean, this is nothing new.

This will be Old god number. .what…? Three? C’thun, Yogg’saron, now G’huun, that we’ve killed? Does Y’shaarj count? We only kinda murdered the heart?

I expect the same to happen to N’zoth.

Old Gods are relics of a dead era, and we just need to assist them in retiring, permanently. :slight_smile:

I mean, we do that with every villain. Any setback generally doesnt affect our forward march to victory. We just got done defeating a universal level threat and it only took us a couple months, even on their home turf.

G’huun is probably canonically dead. Unlike the other Old Gods, he wasn’t wormed so deeply into Azeroth, so destroying him wasn’t detrimental to the planet’s health.

i dont trust anything that looks like ghuun, he still undulates when dead, plus you might catch underrot. tldr: if an undead death knight wouldnt eat something, it may not be a smart idea lol

Have a like for that title, good sir

If Rastakhan hadn’t made the bargain he wouldn’t have been able to kill Zul the first time.

The thing that’s different here is that we used titan tech that’s used to destroy matter to blast him. Reorigination beam is the same thing that Algalon mentioned he would be calling down onto Azeroth. I have a bit more faith in this ones death, especially considering it’s body was fully confined to the containment chamber. When we fight Yogg/C’thuun, we don’t see them moving around because it’s a small portion of what they are. I think of G’huun like a plant blub/seedling while the others are closer to blackberry bushes.

Unless the giant mold slug comes back as “Zombie G’huun 2.0” he is as g’hood as g’hone.
Really though, it’s for the best. Think of the havoc he would wreak on vegetable gardens.

He stabbed him and dropped him into some flames, sure, but that didn’t seem to affect him much by the time we got into Uldir.
