Shadowlands Alpha - Maldraxxus Storyline Summary and Playthrough

5 Likes

Looks really interesting. I keep ping-ponging between Kurian and Necrolord and this makes it worse.

I’ve got a bunch of alts, so I’ll be sending at least one through each covenant to get all the story. I’ve just got to figure out who I’m sending where!

So, one of the quests mentions the House of Rituals having a new baron. The House of Rituals is where all the liches hang out. Did anyone else immediately assume that this is referring to Kel’Thuzad, or is it just me?

I think it’s Kel’Thuzad too and would fit with the data-mining about about confronting Kel’Thuzad. So its most likely that dealing with Kel’Thuzad is the Necrolord campaign.

Hoo yeah! Starting off the zone just the way I wanted it. Getting into a massive brawl.

Seems Maldraxxus’s usual(there have been Cyan Death Elementals in Maldraxxus) Green Death Magics are Agony made manifest.

Why Agony is predisposed to cause Fungus and Decay is beyond me.

There seems to be so many Death Magics:

Greenish-Black: Memories

Cyan: Stygia(byproduct of destroying Souls)

Black: Sin

Red: Flayed/Tortured Sin

Green: Agony/Necrotic Magics

Livid/Blue-Grey: Phantasma(expended Anima)

Blue with a Pink Core: Celestial/Star Magics

Blueish Black: Drust Soul Magic

Purple: ???

Whitish-Black: Death

Alexandros looks so cool!

Apparently the Void Naaru was brought to the Theater of Pain by the Brokers as one of the forms of entertainment…

Wouldn’t be hard to assume the Blood Elemental Rare named Pulsing Leech is also entertainment there. We even see the Brokers grab a Devourer in Ardenweald for the Theater of Pain… We also know that they only grab sentient creatures from the Shadowlands themselves…

The Brokers being able to grab a Void Naaru, a couple of Demons and a Blood Elemental is impressive! What sort of Death Realms could they all have been grabbed from? It would be understandable for them to grab Drust since Drust are invading Ardenweald but Demons, Void Naaru and Blood Elementals!?!

Since the Void Naaru isn’t killed already I assume it and the Demons were captured recently which means the Demons and Void are actively invading the Shadowlands as we speak!

Another thing to note:

The Green Death Elementals in Maldraxxus(made from the Anima of the fallen) are corrupting themselves Cyan with Anima from Souls(in otherwords the Death Magic used in Bastion and Oribos)!
