So while everyone is currently busy losing their minds or laughing and cheering at the Sylvanas cinematic, do we have any knowledge of what happens after you finish this fight and Sylvanas is there with Bolvar/Jaina/Thrall?
Do they interact? Is there more dialogue? Is there a scene or something that happens? What about the quest to beat her?
Looking for come pretty important context to everything and I would be surprised (Even with the current writers) if they didn’t do anything after the boss fight and everybody was just standing there not saying anything.

Find out what she knows and then hand her over to the Venthyr to work off her sins. That’s all that needs to happen. That’s all that SHOULD happen.

Most of the streams just cut the stream off immediately after. We haven’t seen the Anduin compass quest or any text boxes for post-raid, iirc.
There’s a reason why they brought Thrall and Jaina, she’s fully forgiven already.

There’s like 12 other active threads complaining about the cinematic right now, can we please stay on topic.

We’ll probably know next week. Believe me, as soon as ppl know, it’ll be all over the forums.
Well I dont mean like a new chapter in the covenant campaign or something.
I mean literally after the fight is over and you’re standing there to get your loot from a chest or whatever else, do the characters interact or are they all just standing there doing nothing.
And what happens with the quest when you turn it in, if anything.
Or am I not understanding how the sequence of events played out. Did we even see a group clear the raid and then get the cinematic first and THEN Blizzard put it unlisted on their channel or did people just stumble upon the unlisted video.

And Baine? What is he doing?
So, they decided to use that 2 souls scenario.
Then I demand Lich King Arthas as Alliance new hero with redemption also…

After the cinematic people are bouncing around to the loot chest
Sylvanas is laid out like a corpse (her name is in grey , no lifebar)
Bolvar says "For now, we should return to Korthia. Let us hope the Primus can explain the Jailer’s plan … and tell us what must be done to stop him.

Thank you for this, it was exactly what I was looking for.
I was told there was a quest to defeat her but I cannot find it. Is that true and if so is there anything after you turn the quest in?

Clearly Zovaal cast ‘revive’ on Sylvanas by giving her back her soul. Being undead, this was fatal, so she is a true corpse now.

btw, so since Cata, Sylvanas was on Jailors side, doing all the hard dirty work for him, have seen how he made millions of souls as his slaves in the Maw, was killing crashing destroying for him, doing genocide e.t.c
And only in the last moment, when he told that everyone will serve him, she understood that Jailor actually is villain, and decided to switch sides…
I think that makes Sylvanas the biggest idiot ever in WoW history…
And now we will forgive her, just because she does not want to serve Jailor, not because she is sorry or something.

Since before Cata champ. It’s implied she’s been team Jailer since Arthas raised her as a Banshee.

Let’s be real here, her ‘working for the Jailer since Cata’ is a retcon, a huge one. There is no way to reconcile a lot of past lore with her working with Evil Squidward. Anything stating such is the writers trying to run back and make it look like there was a coherent plan, but even as recently as Legion I don’t think they planned her serving the Jailer. Hell, as recently as pre-BfA I don’t think they planned it.
As for why, well, it seems to imply the Jailer had at least part of her soul and was using that to manipulate her, to nudge her down the paths he wanted, or at least that’s the implication. It was when she heard the word ‘serve’ that she had the little switch in her brain get flipped.
But anything saying she’s been on the Jailer’s side since day one banshee hours is flat out revisionist.

In the side chat to that stream someone mentioned that at a certain level of renown you get a Kill Sylvanas quest bu tit seemed the streamer did not have that yet.

Someone mentioned in one of the discords I’m in that there’s a quest to kill Sylvanas but most of the raiders rushed and thus didn’t get to the point where it unlocked, so the turn-in for beating Sylvanas and what happens after was bypassed incidentally.

Yeah that’s also the same conclusion I came to, unfortunate.
You unlock the quest after doing the Chapter 4 of the Chains of Domination campaign, which requires 44 renown.
Sylvanas joined the Jailer during the events of Edge of Night. The notion that she joined before is fandom.
So you say, but since the splintered soul thing is all but confirmed at this point, Sylvanas was almost certainly unwittingly under his influence way before there was a formal arraignment.
