The Upsidedown Sinners

[pr0gressd]

im guessing this place was created before the game went as mainstream as it did, and by then it would be best not to realize

[Beararms88]

Watch big trouble little china, thats where they got this idea from. I'll admit this music is making it alot creepier.

[hello1182]

How were the ones with the rope on their feet not floating upwards?

[KCTidusProductions]

Even if it was too scary for teen rating, its not like little kids ever get into raids...

[narrat0r12]

1. Pause this video at the beginning and mute it

2. Go to /watch?v=KDbWYm_If7A

3. Skip to about 0:40

4. Play both at the same time

5. Freaked out yet?

[forcedawesomeness]

I'm not gonna lie, i'd love the game so much more if they opened this up

[CoDcomrade2]

Nice music for the room....

[Gramra]

Is there a story behind this place?

[Freestylinbran]

@Mountaind3ws

The dungeon of Karazhan didn't release until BC but you could access the lower portion through some fancy ghosting/wall climbing. It wasn't instanced or anything.

[Krati08071995]

Just to let you know: I heard that they wanted to make this a part of the dungeon itself or another dungeon for 10 men or something like that. The problem was, they thought it would be to much for a teen rating. Because most of this, is very deep and well thought like the last room of the crypts. And some parts are a little...evil like this one^^

[Twitch532]

@Krati08071995

You're lying. The bit about the rating you got from cracked, the 10 man dungeon you made up.

[Krati08071995]

@Twitch532 Well someone told me that, i already had written "Or something like that"

[Krati08071995]

@Mountaind3ws Jeah but you could glitch in there very early by some bugs. the area was there you know.

[Chromere]

speculation is that the area was scrapped in order to keep the game at a Teen rating but considering the 'celebrated' use of alcohol in game i dont completely believe that.

[HMintify]

;A;

[edosennin]

DAMNIT i wanna know the story behind it SO bad!!!!

[iPodAwesum]

@edosennin

its in one of those WoW novels, a buddy of mine was telling me about it.

Just go on the WoW forums( if they have an official one) and ask around for which novel tells about the sinners under the castle.

[edosennin]

@iPodAwesum Alright will do thanks

[Kjforceone]

The, as blizzard stated, now unreachable (since the last patch before 4.0.1) upside down sinners room below Karazhan. Is not unreachable at all ^^ couple of my friends got in there with a 3 seater mammoth and druid feral charge. GLHF in the creepiest place in wow! Gawd, horrid

[54guitar45]

the whole thing is kinda silent hill-esqe

[Tommy2er]

Is that the actual in game music? o.O

[Hean]

@Tommy2er

Doubt it, I was just in the crypt a few hours ago, there was a constant beating heart.

[TheNevii]

@Tommy2er Pfft, no. I wish. :O

[Beararms88]

This is by far the scariest thing in WoW.. I've watched this video multiple times and still get the chills when I see it.

[felix123123]

Yes it still works, but for you who are going there will be disappointed since it there is no sound like it is in the video, its just some random karazhan song

[GazAnders69]

It's where your characters go when you delete them !

[madione]

This gave me the chills but I'm still wondering why this wasn't allowed and the hanging corpses outside Scarlet monastery is in fact allowed... The water does it fact make it creepy, but why...? O_o

[Stormwind187]

@madione There is more zones to that area, there was a huge pile of bones, thousands of bones anad blood, torture rooms, and many other areas that were pretty hardcore. However comparing this to the Death Knight startup, the Death Knights are still more hardcore.

[madione]

@Stormwind187 Yeah, I think the death knight startup is more hardcore as well. How sneaky :o

[Hean]

@madione

It's nothing with not allowed, they just couldn't find the use for it basically.

[Frazzledotd]

Chains, rubber and pain. You'll love it.

Come visit Karazhan, where we literally turn that frown upside down! C:

[VampireKitty13]

Wow, would so love to go there <3

[CamusTheDark]

I am in this room as I write this comment : )

Made me want to look for any videos of it.

[DutchMasterJohan]

I heard that it was supposed to be an instance or part of Khazrazan...

[kanta90]

@DutchMasterJohan this area as been around since the orginal wow beta, it was blocked off because it would have made wow's rating change to mature instead of teen -- not official information, but i think its correct. it was suppose to be medivs tomb

[phoenix1333]

That's where they send the gold sellers

[Lolimmajeepbeepbeep]

Hopefully this is enough to scare away all the 11 year old trolls that inhabit WoW (trolls as in a griefer, not the race.)

[Felpally1]

its wher they send player who use hax lol

[EdisonWum]

is this the actual ingame sound?

[urmadrelastnite]

@EdisonWum 

[xS0Fresh2Death]

@EdisonWum

No i think its a song from tool.

[felix123123]

@EdisonWum No its not

[CanderousXOrdo]

This is probably a reference to the movie Big Trouble In Little China with Kurt Russel. There's a scene in the movie with these similar upsidedown sinners :)

[urmadrelastnite]

@CanderousXOrdo The developers confirmed your suspicions.

[Rayvenlunatic]

Seriously messed up. Wow. 

The Pentagram Kids have nothing on this.

[5648945621]

i just went to this place yesterday :O i gotta say this is the creepiest thing in wow :O i love it xD

[Shadoboy]

I'm hoping Blizzard decides to open this up in Cataclysm.

[Uteko95]

what the FUCK is this.....

why is something like this in a video game?!!!!!!!!!!!!

one of the designers is fucked in the head, ive personally seen much worse even in real life, but kids play this...... is it closed off or is it an open area?

[YzzamDruid]

If you can't handle it, Hello Kitty Online Adventure is that way --->

It's rated Teen, not everybody. Did you know that in school, they teach kids about the holocaust? Yep, In middle school I got to read a book written by a prisoner who survived.

If you want your kid to live a carebear life, home school him, destroy all your TVs, and never let him leave the house.

[Uteko95]

@YzzamDruid

its not scary its just disturbing having something like this in a video game, and even more the fact that its hidden.

atleast at school they dont show you dead people hanging upside down, something like that stays in your head, you dont need to have scary faces poping up on your screen for something to be disturbing, like i said one of the developers is fucked in the head for making something like this.

[YzzamDruid]

Just doesn't seem that disturbing to me :/

[foobee2]

@Uteko95 You don't live in the real world do you? Is it always raining gumdrops in your personal fantasy land? Many many games have far worse than this in them. Even prime time network television has worse. Or have you never seen CSI?

[Uteko95]

@foobee2

its not about how scary it is, its not.

but it is disturbing and the fact that there is not official explanation for it makes it even worse. ive got nothing against the game or making it a bit more scary but then make it a 18+ game?

personally i think trade chat these days is more scary then this :P its just the lack of explanation that makes it disturbing.

[foobee2]

There is an explanation for it. A very easy one. It was a section of the game (possibly kara, maybe another raid) that was not finished in time, so it was walled off. Lots of mmo's have places like that. And whats more, a room lik that one in particular, fits perfectly in a ghost town at the feet of a tower where a wizard was doing experiments on the townsfolk. there...explanation...all happy in gumdrop land?

[Rayvenlunatic]

@foobee2

Yeah, pretty much. As one who got down to the "Goblin Airport" before wall-walking was banned (and hush, a friend led me there, and just once ;). I love vids like this. Very, very creepy. GJ to Pariah.

[XeliosX]

There are lots of theories as to why this room [along with the entirety of the crypt] was so well designed (if not unpolished) and yet barred off from general access.

The theory I throw my support behind is that the crypt seems pretty obvious to be the place where Medivh (tainted by sargeras) went berserk. So you can bet any questlines that took you down here would revolve around Medivh's torturing / killing people. WoW, however, is rated 'Teen' and not 'mature'

[TtheWriter]

Considering that this is WoW, this is pretty gruesome. THe music is perfect, btw. THere's a book in game that says under the castle is a mirror of the castle, upside down. This begs to differ.

[490456156icq]

its this a game?

[trondy89]

this is WoW

[Zerogamer22]

The room is actually a good idea, but damn.. What a way to go.. Im glad im not on Medivh's death list. :P

But with some scary ghostly voices to break the silence in the room from time to time, it would be perfect, and deffo one of the scariest places wow has to offer. hehe

[XeliosX]

Eerily enough, the game's actual MUSIC is a ghostly chant, with a recurring heartbeat.

Very creepy when you're here for the first time, swimming through the murky green water, and the only sounds are of the water going by, these chanting voices, and a faint, but repetitive heartbeat.

[Dianne724]

I reached this area on a private server. This place does kind of creep me out...especially this room. I get an erie feeling everytime I go in there alone. Seems like someone is watching me :o

[zcombs15]

is it bad that i didnt find this creepy at all ?

[IHAZIAIRID]

I got in this place a loooooong time ago back before BC it was pretty creepy

[mortonandroy]

I'm 14, I played WoW, and the Jasperlode Mine + Gnomeregan scared me

...Am I too weak?

[GMOddxballer]

yes

[Sneezlebob]

have fun virgin

[ilikechiken72]

@mortonandroy definately..... Gnomeregan scared you? You couldn't take half of this game then.... I REALLY hope I can play aagain soon

[Senshi2k6]

@mortonandroy

yes..yes you are

[solidsnake11087]

@mortonandroy your body is not ready

[brameekhout]

Why blizzard, why was this zone never released?

[timoteck1]

it was too scary

[timoteck1]

Even though its not scary, if this were the real music it would give me nightmares.

[bearycool]

What scary is there is a sound loop with a low heart beat which trust me scary 0.o

[MCrants0]

was the mucis in the room?

[MurderdolIs]

Did iton my rogue, takes patience and spot on accuracy but when your in damn is it scary

[theschotty]

If you dont mind my asking, how did you get in? I have been working with my priest and a mage friend, and we have been polymorphing and fearing till the cows came home, with no luck whatsoever.

Thanks :D

[LandTorpedo69]

@theschotty I remeber way back when I got in there by myself by getting killed dieing right by the entrance and then my ghost just walked in the front door. Don't know if this still works, but it's work trying atleast?

[XeliosX]

If the mage positions himself just right, he can blink through the terrain. He just walks along the edge of the surface of the crypt, and jumps off the edge (into a big bright blue nothingness) and he'll land on the other side of the gate.

Anyone else though is gonna have to get their positioning JUST perfect, because the auto unstuck" thing has a 30 minute cooldown =p So you get one shot every 30 minutes.

You have to be standing in the right spot, and facing the right direction.

[hellokill11]

this place wasn't released due to keep the age rating of the game.

[Randomfightinstudios]

or some other reason :P

[Ziiiv]

Hey cool someone else found this place. When I played WoW I made it a point to find unreleased areas, and got into all sorts of places before they were released. Like, I followed the cliffs on the eastern coast up to the (then empty) area that is now silvermoon, got into Mount Hyjal through Winterspring before it was released, and regularly visited the top of ironforge and the surrounding areas.

This area, however, was definitely my favorite. It's so immersive and atmospheric.

[Lolseeker1]

you can get back in there

[DaWingman]

i was there a long while ago.. just breathtaking

[monkymaster1]

some designer IS fucked up in the head

[pieextatic123]

@monkymaster1 Most game designers of the creepy games we see out there are actually messed up in the head psychologically, they literally have something wrong with them.

[monkymaster1]

@pieextatic123 yup

[fl00ders]

@monkymaster1 Nah wow needs more gritty stuff like this.

[BusyPants]

@monkymaster1 LOL

[Shaeam]

@monkymaster1 what might be fucked up to you is an art form to some, its good to see some creativity rather then the stereotyped OH SHIT A GHOST areas, to bad it never got released.

[stryfe1000]

@monkymaster1 not necessarily, this was just a reference to the film Big Trouble in Little China, not like the designer made this up on his own

[seraph1337]

The song used for the incredibly creepy sound effects is Viginti Tres by Tool on the album 10,000 Days.

[orangecarrot55]

is that the actual music from there?

[citheren]

Nod to "Big Trouble in Little China", the two main characters find themselves in "Hell of the Upside Down Sinners"

[raemeredith]

Some level designer is totally fucked up in the head.

[Mylxen]

Is this reachable now, in 3.09?

[tumbleworld]

Not since 2.0 sadly :(

[peni253]

3.0*

[elgSdyret]

So they completely blocked it? :(

[peni253]

idd :<

well, atleast i've been in there :P

[elgSdyret]

Lucky you :< wish i watched more exploit vids in BC

[kaixhime]

Oh my god... creepy D:

[LichKingIsBack]

Dang, creepy. Wonder why they were all killed.

[RageX246]

I have a pit feeling you don't wanna know...

[LichKingIsBack]

I kinda do wanna know, otherwise I wouldn't be asking.

Medivh might've done it when he was possessed, but I don't know.

[cambone729]

yo what tool song was this from? sounds so familiar

[BloodyyKing]

karazhan cryps* sorry XD

[BloodyyKing]

Karazhan Crib or Well Of The Fergotten it has 2 names.

[abcd12345]

i wonder if the sound i hear is the sound you hear when youre in there or you added this to your video? because that is CREEPY

[Akolyte01]

Yeah, what is this sound from?

[canipe1]

sounds like the sound from Silent Hill 4

[swordiesman]

sound is swimming maybe if not im creeped

[xdragonman]

these sinners were punished for high treason

[marcuszoom]

"found last year by me and a few friends." I hope you mean it was the first time YOU guys found this, cause the place has been known before you posted this video :P

[Austln]

this is still accessibly, get feared/polymorphed through the gate and this is the best video of it i've seen....creepy place though but its still interesting to watch, but you cant get through it by dying anymore

[Garglebee007]

Thats just nasty...

[n3rdfu3l]

someone hasnt played diablo 1

[xomish32]

This is reachable 2.3. Just get a priest to fear you though

[BlackjackSP]

Anyone know if this is still accessible as of patch 2.22?

[FrostmaneRain]

It is accessible even as of patch 2.3

[BlackjackSP]

Sweet.. does the polymorph technique to get in work?

[FrostmaneRain]

Most likely. We tried fear and blind - they both did work. And I've done my own video abour the crypt, check it out if you have some time please ^^

[Austln]

Polymorph works, tats how i get in

[millworx2007]

At first I was like darn theres no music but then I heard a familiar noise and I was like YEESS TTOOOLLL. Awesome shots of the place. I love the close ups

[Goatmon]

The music goes well with the video.  Creepy stuff.
