Warcraft Lore: Grom and Thrall Kill Mannoroth and free The Horde

[Buurzalbai]

like many posts before mine...it's impressive how we can still feel such an EPIC moment in Warcraft lore, after all these years. When Gromm stands up and charges against Mannoroth, i'm still looking for a better virtual animation...today.

[destroyallhaha]

what's the music at around 3:05?

[Z3niiTD4rK]

FOR THE HORDE WE LOVE YOU GROM ! <3

[CrazyGeistProduction]

WoW used to be glorious...Then it took pandas to the face.

[oldvat1919]

lok tar ogar big brother

[polomolok2887]

Now thats a critical strike!

[PalyOfDeath]

I've just read a book (clan master) about thrall and grom... very nice book xD

[Blarfargin]

Even after all of these years, I still tear up at how noble and heroic Grom's sacrifice is.

[dukagenius]

I miss Grom`s voice so much....

and why isn`t Gorehowl LEGENDARY item >.> for lvl 70 and 80 !!

[rdsasuke1]

@dukagenius I think that someone sometime ago said that Gorehowl isn't a magical item like shodowmourne for example.So basicly Grom made it seem legendary.Kinda like Skill>Gear

[SabbraCadabra]

It's too bad Blizzard has essentially slaughtered their own lore and destroyed a once glorious game.

[rappe92]

@SabbraCadabra couldnt agree more

[Soemtheng]

@SabbraCadabra People like you dont even read the quests, only flame ^_^ blame yourself for missing the awsome lore in WoW

[eeg10]

@Soemtheng Its not awesome. Usually, a quest goes like this, "we need food, kill 25 boars and get boar ribs" or like "punch guys and reenact a silly dream about deathwing". The way they killed Arthas was also terrible. Seriously, potentially 10 random people can kill one of the most badasses in gaming history.  Also, the Black Temple was a farce, killing Illidan in the most ignominious of fashions so shortly after the expack was released.

[Lukeml1X]

@SabbraCadabra probably why they havn't touched WCIII

[shaoiliu]

This was blizzard at its VERY BEST! now its just garbage....

[Luxai]

@shaoiliu There's just too many people like you, They still hold a playerbase of 10 million in ONE game. They are undeniebly as successful no as ever.

[vithaj92]

Too bad they don't really care about lore anymore

[ByPhantomYuki]

@vithaj92 Well they do but its kinda harder to make it cuz game is ''playing online'' now!

[vithaj92]

@ByPhantomYuki Indeed it is, but if SW:TOR can do it, then so should Blizzard as well, in my opinion. I'm just curious how blizzard will write the lore once they decide to either finish the story or make another warcraft RTS.

[ByPhantomYuki]

@vithaj92 welll i dont know but SW:TOR is new game so they made the lore just like it is but just wait...game is new right now....in the upcoming expansions they will change some things and soon they wont care about the lore...sry if i made some grammar mistakes

[vithaj92]

@ByPhantomYuki Maybe you're right. But I sure hope that you're wrong :)

[ByPhantomYuki]

@vithaj92 me too :)

[mrkanepker]

wheres your VARO'THEN now mannoroth!

[ThePedrito16]

Wait a minute... I am pretty sure I saw Thor in this cinematic. Correct me if I am wrong.

[r0xx0rxD]

epic charge moment is epic.

[komun1212]

he charged mannoroth like saurfang charged the lich king...the difference is that grommash didnt fail LOL

[sdfefde]

amazing CGI

[Free2behellix]

Thrall for the win !

[Lastdruid1]

Hero!!

[HunterTxen]

I wish the game felt like this..

[jonhyman11]

So epic it hurts.....

[conkerboy123]

dont you kill mannoroth in 4.3 ? please correct me if im wrong

[kutluz1]

@conkerboy123 No, you only banish him back to wherever he came from. In 4.3 you are back in the past(hence the instance being in the cavern of time)

[conkerboy123]

@kutluz1 ahh thanks for telling me without being a total dick :)

[komun1212]

@conkerboy123 just like ALL the wow encounters....that was merely a set back

[ViDiMoSeSiNe311]

@conkerboy123 ...

[TheycallmeJonStewart]

"In many ways, the curse of our people began and ended with Grom. His name meant 'Giant's Heart' in our ancient tongue. He earned that name a hundred fold as he stood alone before the demon Mannoroth — and won our freedom with his blood. Lok'Tar Ogar, Big Brother. May the Warsong never fade."

--Thrall

[buslady]

They need to make a Cgi movie but focus on the Horde, we're the good guys. For the Horde!

[TitusPollon]

MAKE A MOVİE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4161248]

Haha! Culling Blade!

[NitrogenoxTheQuick]

Grom pwns all !

[bobonnwoof]

i WISH this would get played before you go to kill mannoroth in the new instances. i love Orc lore -85 human warrior :3

[Zpieygre]

@bobonnwoof You never kill mannoroth in Well of Eternity. well its still an epic fight :)

[Zkuuum]

@Zpieygre the well of eternity is back in time, so it may be before this happend? when illy dumpd him in the well he got banishd to here? or am i wrong ? :P

[Zpieygre]

@Zkuuum I don't know, but he survived since the Well of Eternity takes place 10009 years before WoW. He died at this cutscene of course.

[Andothul]

Back when Thrall meant something

[rdsasuke1]

@Andothul Could you explain what you mean by that.Cuz doesn't he open a hole in Deathwing's chest in 4.3 ?

[Keseshufa]

Better love story than Twilight

[Guocomale]

The WC cinematics are the best ever done.

[senior201019]

2:20 Grom Hellscream: Crap I forgot...my...sun tan lotion!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheWazoid]

Love this cinematic...it gives soul to the horde! Grom=BAMF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Loyd64]

if only blizz could do one with these graphics but instead of this scene remake the one where broxigar takes on an army of the burning legion and in a blaze of true glory takes on sargeras himself and INJURES him on the leg

[BrandonTheRemix]

Back when Thrall was actually cool.

Now he's green jesus.

[shaoiliu]

This was the reason I chose horde > alliance. The humans in WC3 were all selfish, proud, unwilling to take advice. But this sacrifice was bitchin. FOR THE HORDE!!!

[mechahalcon]

Mannoroth, we'll finally have a chance to fight him in 4.3!!!!!

[bobby4500]

warrior + shaman + windfury totem = epic win

[nataraki04]

arent they supose to say DABU!!

[Antichrist2000]

@nataraki04 Wasn't it only the grunts who said that?

[nataraki04]

@Antichrist2000 i gues well on DOTA thrall always say dabu lol

[WaltteriDude]

I quess it was a critical strike lol

[imbahnezz]

World of warcraft and Warcraft....the BEST storylines EVER!

[Skyjovoo]

@imbahnezz agreed

[vikocho123]

3:35 same reaction...

[Steven43533]

1:03 QUICK HAMMER OF WRATH!!!

[creeshello]

l dont get this lore why is hellscream still alive in WoW after magtheridon has already falllen doesnt really make sense

[moonmilk15]

@creeshello what do you mean?

[Transcendenceful]

@creeshello He isn't alive in WoW... The one in WoW is Garrosh Hellscream, Grom Hellscream's son...

And it isn't Magtheridon either... It's Mannoroth that killed Grom Hellscream, Magtheridon is an entirely different pit lord.

The place they fought at can still be found in Ashenvale, with a large monument raised for Grom Hellscream.

[reztreborn]

My fav of each race.

Orc: Grom *Decreased*

Nightelf: Illidan *Decrease*

Undead/Human: Arthas *Decreased*

Other: Archimonde *Decreased*

*Uninstall wow*

[BishonChris]

Chilling after all those years!...

[superpyromaniac]

these cutscenes were breath taking back then, and they are now. even by todays standards, these are exceptionally well rendered voiced. kinda makes you wonder why blizzard keeps WoW with such shitty graphics

[tunaalp666]

ağladım orospu çocuğu

[rubin19999]

man... they should totally a make a movie about warcraft.... but a good one by the original writers,animators and the original plots n stuff...

[Deql]

I watch it again in 2011, and it still make me chill...

[Antichrist2000]

@Deql 2011 and the animation still looks superb heh.

[3DTyrant]

bet Grom fans were happy to see Gorehowl in TBC :P

[MrBadApple999]

@3DTyrant yeaa...but shit shouldve been legendary

[3DTyrant]

@MrBadApple999 true, but abit off topic, the last few words said in this video, makes me proud to be an Orc :)

[MrBadApple999]

@3DTyrant orc lore is by far the best, i agree

[Yagamimoon]

And that's when Thrall lost his one, true love.

[oakator]

@lozx100 far more than that, drinking the blood makes you able to live insanely long.

[LozX100]

In one book I read, Grom was 3 times the age of thrall. Well, maybe I'm wrong.

[kilkolio]

lol didnt know thrall was a lil boy compared to grom and mannoroth

i guess grom and mannoroth are like the older relics of a more savage time, dinosaurs of this time if u will

[ImAwesome4728]

@kilkolio dude read the books. When Durotan was a kid he grom was still almost an adult. I assure you its a really good read. start from rise of the horde to the lich king and it will make wc3 and WoW very fun

[wcs5420]

dude my mains an alliance but i have to say orcs are the most badass race of warcraft. The 2 most badass characters in the game are orcs. Alliance has Varian and i guess malfurion is kinda part of the alliance, but thts it.

[masterman9999]

@wcs5420 Varian is a douche

[boing7474]

So predictable, I knew you would come, And i see you brought the mighty Hellscream, His blood is mine, As is your whole misbegotten race, A worthy effort but futile, The boy believed you could be saved, But he didnt know what burns within your soul, Within your heart you know we are the same, Thrall..the blood haze has lifted, The demons fire has burned out in my veins, I have freed myself, No old friend..you saved us all.

[jman9096]

@jsand93 demon fall canyon, ashenvale/barrens

[Angrydudu]

No doubt Grom is/was one of the strongest mortal beings in warcraft universe. I mean who else would have killed Mannoroth? And if that wasn't enough he killed the demigod Cenarius aswell. ( Even Archimonde would have a hard time with that ) Not to mention Grom was awesome back in wc 2 too^^

[kamiwoo]

WOW... ALL OF WARCRAFT HINGED ON ARTHAS! a character who is inicially from the alliance, Sad for the alliance that Mal'Ganis did his job well... but this is just a "what if" scenario where Arthas was never corrupted by the Lich King, his beloved wife and queen would be the beautiful Jania Proudmoore.

Pally King and Mage Queen, pretty good balance there. And he and Vairan would tag-team the Horde.... and no Foresaken and Blood elves! Damn, that's 7 to 3... poor horde >.<

[vincetheworldly537]

@kamiwoo haha, though I don't think there would be a Horde anymore if that happens. Thrall might even join the Alliance if ever, haha. No World of Warcraft, hahaha

[kamiwoo]

whom I am pretty sure would be dead by the time they gathered the resources to try, the other Horde races, whom would die without Thrall's intervention, and the Fel Horde, who would probably fail AGAIN!

If Arthas was never corrupted, there would BE no horde, only the Dwarves, the Humans, the High Elves, the Night Elves, the Dragons (whom would be able to hide) and lots of miscellaneous creatures who would be wiped out by the alliance...

[kamiwoo]

@Leftunloved Aliance is best because without aliance, theres no world of warcraft.

If Arthas had never obtained Frostmourne, then Kel'Thuzad would never have been reanimated, Kel'Thuzad was needed to summon the Legion. Without Kel'Thuzad, the only other entities able to summon the Legion would be the Orcs, who are in hiding AND hate the Legion, Ner'Zhul, who will probably die eventually due to the power draining from him, the Night Elves, who are enemies with the Legion, the Amani,

[Mazzmarach]

Fitting that it was an axe-wielding orc that did Mannoroth in, as it was also an axe-wielding orc that gave him the idea of corrupting them in the first place.

[destroyerk1992]

thumbs up if you think grom best gladiators ever seen and belive that he is pre death.

[fealbeast]

thumbs up who think that thral and his bro are warriors

[mikleman996]

Oh god i love WC3, and i lvoe in this cinematic when Mannoroth says "...and you've brought the might Hellscream!" very chilling

[walkingdisaster999]

Thrall at the end calls the " WAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!"

[darkjason78]

60 people are douche bags grom hellscream is a fucking hero of the horde 

[VirusBrad]

Unleashed Elements was blocked :/

[lunelune2413]

i play mostly allience but grom is 1 of my favor horde charectar's i have even a man called after him

[teejar12]

Thumbs up for Warcraft 4 and Warcraft Movie!

[destroyerk1992]

cry :((( this video mad me cry

[Ner0381]

come on Thrall heal him use chain heal to heal both xD! Best game ever, Fuck wow.



[tyopmt]

@Ner0381 idiot ,thrall only have chain lightning +_=

[Ner0381]

@tyopmt i was talking about the contrast of wow and wc3 and your an idiot it was a joke.

[tyopmt]

@Ner0381 : then mine is a joke too +_=

ppl dont use smiley when they are serious +_=

[ApprenticeOfAnubis]

this video with alterbridge - in loving memory. best vid ever

[yuohaze]

fucking helers where the hell are they when needed



[teejar12]

@yuohaze should've had an elixir

[tore1992]

Mannoroth will be back now :p

[NazzMaximillion]

Where's Grom's windwalk? Where's Thrall lightening like Thor? common this video was far to simple -_-

[linclinc99]

whats up with thralls chin...

[GrafitiWall]

Lol grom must of critted like swifty

[galva07]

Rez him Thrall?

[GreatWolfGrimnar]

You know I never really examined it back when I played the game, but I think its kind of creative how in the same game they showed a virtuous hero descend into a being of pure evil (Arthas), and then a bloodthirsty warrior finally confronting his demons and through selfless sacrifice frees himself and his people from the grip of of a cruel tyrant.

[MrBadApple999]

after reading the book ''Rise of the Horde'' and playing warcraft 3...kinda makes me feel like shit seeing grom fall at 2:30, nice music fits and evrything

[Wildheartjaypaw]

Its been forever since i played this game... and i just started crying...

[Baurles]

2 normal orcs going against the strngest pitlord there is? Why not bring an army?

[HeartTwiceBroken]

@Baurles It's Thrall and Grom :P Far from two normal orcs :P

[Baurles]

@HeartTwiceBroken They are still orcs.

[godzilla90fan]

@Baurles At this time Thrall was probably the most powerful shaman alive and Grom was by far the best warrior. Grom by himself had it covered, mannoroth pulled a cheap move and blew up like an electrode haha.

[Baurles]

@godzilla90fan Perhaps not normal orcs, but I am sure that any pitlord is mightier than any orc.

[RoflisticBong]

GROM HELLSCREAM! My Favourite Guy in all of Warcraft Nigguhs be Jelly

[rareschamp]

1:04 BANHAMMER! 

[kabookiejoe]

fuck man, mannroths chain, puts rappers to shame.

[ra3yalskaken]

my ears !!

[Matinity16]

0:56 Thrall goes, "Damn hammer, WORK!"

[robsutton1000]

"That was easy..."

[eddyspeaksenglish]

WTF¡¡¡ i dont get it.. Is thrall a fucking shamman or a warrior... and if he is a shamman why didnt he healed his brother¡¡¡ :/

[kabookiejoe]

@eddyspeaksenglish started as a gladiator fightning for blackmoore.. then when freeded returned to discover his roots within the frostwolf clan. and learn the ways of the shaman

[godzilla90fan]

@eddyspeaksenglish Because Grom is powerful, its been said several times in the game that its complicated to heal (let alone ress) powerful people. Look at hamuul runetotem. May have also had something to do with Thrall being pretty beat up and limping

[Leftunloved]

Yeah. Horde > Alliance. What has alliance done? Varian killed a bunch of lowlifes in a pit. Cool story. What did Broxigar Saurfang do? He, alone, hurt Sargeras. THAT is impressive. What did Grom Hellscream do? He slew Mannoroth. He was the mightiest pit lords in the war of the ancients. Thank you alliance, for your support in the battle against evil, you miserable assfucks. Thrall kinda blows, but he would rape Varian if he did that.

Quick edit: Orcs as a race, rather than horde as a faction.

[SagazDoMorro]

@Leftunloved hey nerd, this is just a game, nobody really fighted in any of this battles lol

[VonTavast]

@Leftunloved You aren't serious are you?

[Leftunloved]

@VonTavast I'm very serious. Orcs > Alliance. Dwarves are pretty kickass too, but they're still not as rape as orc legends.

[VonTavast]

@Leftunloved Right... Well good for you then.

[xSumonax]

Thrall got bitched Niggas

[needychemstudent]

loved this cut scene culda been a movie

[canttouch2002]

Lmao Thrall wasn't much help

[Satansangel213]

59 alliance just shit themselves :P

love yall for the horde - sarah

[errorthisnameisused]

must buy warcraft now

[xeropressure]

Lok'tar ogar! Victory or death - it is these words that bind me to the Horde. For they are the most sacred and fundamental of truths to any warrior of the Horde.

I give my flesh and blood freely to the Warchief. I am the instrument of my Warchief's desire. I am a weapon of my Warchief's command.

From this moment until the end of days I live and die - For the Horde!

[panteradeth]

this was always my favorite cinematic, haven't played in years, time to reinstall.

[szabilove]

I guess Thrall was to low to ress him lol

[IMacar]

May the Warsong never fade.

[MrClawzy]

The bosses in these cinematics die way too easily. Like with illidan vs arthas, illidan got one hit. WTF? as if he would be sliced like that and not try protect himself or anything. And this vid, the pit lord (i think) dies in one hit also from a shitty little axe? Sorry but GG blizzard

[oFableo93]

@MrClawzy well wat do u want, they keep slashing at each other and see whose health goes down first? could there have been a little more action, of course, but in the end it has to be a one hit

[xeropressure]

Troll Spotted. Troll not fed.

[MrClawzy]

@xeropressure Nope not trolling. I just don't understand why these huge bosses get 1 hit in stupid ways.

[godzilla90fan]

@MrClawzy NOT a shitty little axe, its gorehowl, and Grom has cleaved through several people at once with it. Notice he cut through Mannoroths weapon, his armor, and his chest all the way to his heart with one blow. Groms a beast. And they are one hits because they didnt have a budget, Chris metzen even said he wanted the illidan fight to be a cinematic like this

[Leonid14649]

The red eyes are Grom Hellscream.

[Akumasl4yer]

im just trying to follow the story but how was the giant flaming jiz stain keeping hold of the hord? was he the king or sumtn?

[Rambowjo2]

@Akumasl4yer Basically, Mannoroth defiled the blood of the horde with his own blood, granting him control. Grom Hellscream, who was bound by Mannoroth, killed him, which in turn also killed himself. I think that's how it was anyway.

[omgweedman]

why didint thrall ress him lol

hes the greatest shamwow ever

[moonkick360]

@omgweedman The blood bond between Grom and Mannoroth was also a very powerful type of demon magic,so not even Thrall could do something about it...

[doctorwhom1]

Then it began to rain and his flaming skull was put out.

[vRohaDriiC]

- A Wild Mannoroth appears! -

Thrall uses hammer throw.

- Its not very efective! -

[herpderp312]

@vRohaDriiC

Mannoroth uses Earthquake!

-Critical Hit!-

Thrall, that's enough! Come back!

Go, Grom!

Grom uses Slash!

-It's super effective!-

Mannoroth uses Self-Destruct!

Grom has fainted.

Thrall gains 1000 exp. points.

[vRohaDriiC]

@herpderp312 Haha! ;P

[vRohaDriiC]

@herpderp312 hehe

[Iimmabigdeal]

For the HORDE!

[nevil345]

Thrall did absolutely nothing

[JohnofNub]

@nevil345 Erm you're blind then, he threw his hammer and then got pwned. I don't know how much Warcraft lore you know but Mannoroth is quite a badass.

[MortalSIX]

Im Getting his Axe, For Transmoph

[Roadzery]

@MortalSIX I got his axe on my key chain.

[Svxji]

Gromm is the biggest bad ass in warcraft, R I P

[darknessincarnate45]

grom hellscream was a noble orc misguided by the demons...

let us all have a moment of silence in his honor...

[lolololouz]

Oh guys, please, PLEASE stop saying something about WoW in Warcraft 3 videos. In that time, the story was still GOOD, so look at it as Warcraft 3....

[Kroteezy]

@lolololouz Hey, you know what this reminds me of? How cool WoW is.

[Nerazull]

@lolololouz Yeah it's not like they're related wtf ? World of WARCRAFT and Warcraft 3 and the continuity of the (awful in your opinion) story...The story is still solid. Notice I'm not bashing either of them, I LOVE WARCRAFT ! May it be 3, World of or whatever.

[Wick3dFreakWhiskey]

@lolololouz It's Warcraft regardless, whether WoW or just Warcraft.
