Heading into Sylvanas’ inner sanctum causes us to phase into the undestroyed version of the city for a moment, before being teleported out entirely and deposited outside of the ruined front gates. In my defense, it was abandoned when I got here! My one guess at an explanation is that the developers did this so that players flying over the supposedly destroyed city didn’t have a bunch of mailbox icons pop up on their minimaps. And every single copy of a capital city I’ve ever explored has had working mailboxes, because to “deactivate” them the developers have to specifically go back and disable each mailbox. On its own this wouldn’t be too unusual, except that this version of the Undercity is just a copy of the undestroyed version. These boxes are often used to place static objects in the world, and can be found underneath the ground throughout Azeroth I’m severely questioning the lethality of this plague.īack inside the city, one small but bizarre thing of note is that the mailboxes don’t work. As well as a slightly less immersive, but much more effective, invisible wall hiding just behind the rockslide.Īpproaching the wall from the other side by clipping through the rocks reveals that it’s mounted on a pink and white checkered box just below the surface of the ground. Once frequented by Alliance raids planning to sneak into the city and kill Sylvanas, the tunnel has now been blocked by a pile of rocks at its entrance.

However watch your step, there are several areas scattered about which will teleport you back outside the front gates, forcing you to redo the entire process again.įollowing the outermost ring we come across the twisting series of archways that lead to the sewer entrance. Traveling further outward into the circular halls, we can explore the outer rings of the city. While the city generally appears the same as it did before its destruction, all the NPCs and some objects are missing, leaving only a hollow shell of the once great capital. Upon disembarking the elevator, we find ourselves in the main square of the Undercity. Using the method detailed in the video above, just fly into the throne room, succumb to the plague, and resurrect behind the invisible wall and you can freely take the elevator and explore the city below! Ah, the Undercity in all of it’s… beauty? Inside, players find a hollow echo of the once lively halls. Dead players can walk through the invisible barriers and resurrect on the other side. Why would you put spikes on an elevator?Įxcept for one little oversight. It seems somewhat fitting that only the dead can enter the Undercity. The city was flooded with a toxic plague that kills players in seconds, and invisible walls were put up in front of every entrance to the Undercity, making passage into the old capital impossible. The human city of Lordaeron has stood for centuries, once the capital of the Alliance, then the seat of the Forsaken, now a pile of rubble… That’ll buff out.Īfter serving as the Forsaken capital since Vanilla, Lordaeron and the Undercity were unceremoniously blown up during the opening act of Battle for Azeroth.
