Endgame
Nick and Katie discuss Blizzard's changing narrative style. Also druids!!!...
Nick and Katie are back and while Nick is struggling through a raspy voice, they are here to talk about the storyline in Vol’dun! But first, check out their recent appearance on The Training Dummies, where they discuss the Horde side of the story in Battle for Azeroth.
Before getting into the story, Nick and Katie fawn over the environments and marvel at how Blizzard made Vol’dun feel like a desert with massive ruins. Nick commends the sound design, and Katie commends the music. The zone is an achievement in art.
Nick and Katie go over the main storyline in Vol’dun, as you track some exiles into the desert with suspicions about the loyalties of General Jakrazet. Players team up with the Vulpera and track Bladeguard Rakera to the Temple of Akunda, where all is not as it seems. After gaining Rakera’s aid, they discuss the history of Vol’dun, and how Mythrax came to destroy it, but was defeated by the sacrifice of the snake loa, Sethraliss, and then entombed under the Temple of Atul’Aman. The sethrakk posssessed the three keystones to release Mythrax, and now Korthek, working with Jakrazet, is trying to release the monstronsity. When you go to confront Korthek and get his keystone, he reveals he already sent Jakrazet to steal the other two. You find Jakrazet under the Temple of Atul’aman with the keystones mid-ritual, and while you defeat him, he is able to unleash Mythrax, who has a role to play in the Zandalar finale before becoming the penultimate boss in the Uldir raid.
They also discuss other questhubs in the zone, including the gang wars amidst the ruins. They talk about the Zem’lan pirates and their cursed treasure. And they fawn over the Goldtusk Gang, which was a highlight of this zone.
