Abelhawk's Warcraft III Easter Eggs: Complete Edition

Thanks so much to everyone who has helped make this channel what it is over the past 6 years! I never expected to be able to delve so deep into the franchise I've loved since a kid, meet and collaborate actual developers from the game, and all while making money doing something I love. This was a massive labor of love and I hope you enjoy it!

Why is Reforged so bad? All I ever hear is "new bad".

the "im so tired" uld was actually used but was played on the og version on hard difficulty, at least i remember it from my childhood :(

imagine if they actually made it so jaina was the undead secondary enemy instead of sylvanas

Blizz failed after they stopped making wc rts

You missed one secret in bonus campaign in orgrimmar Tunnels, there is one more tome of strength at the begining. :)

This here is why games had a soul back then. Why don't we get this amount of secrets, easter eggs and other little things anymore?

Yo abel, how can i play the exodus of the horde campaign like blizzard updated reforged and introduced the custom campaign mechanic onto the game and it isnt there.

I played WC3 15 years ago, which I got from some random public computers. I play it again recently on Reforged. At first I was confused when I saw that the Sea Witch in Prologue Campaign become Naga and not some ghost like before but I only thought it was only changed in Reforged, not because of Demo version.

Anyway, what about the Reforged campaign's Easter Eggs? Because some of the map were very different than the original, like the culling of Stratholme and the destruction of Silvermoon

bruh killing grom with warpten enabled was a mistake. fought him a whole 1 hour

So illidan did steal his famous speech from kealthas xD

I don't remember ever seeing Kelen the Destroyer (blood mage) in any of the custom games.

What about on chapter two the shop you can buy items from?

How about the Hydralisk Easter Egg?

I used to watch this video 5 years ago by parts to see all easter eggs in wc3. Such good memories.

How do you download warcraft 3😭

I actually know Dave

Did they keeped that hydralisk in reforged?

jaina dying in wc3 only further supports her really being a dreadlord.

Man it's so nostalgic to rewatch these WC3 easter eggs videos

Very nice.

I miss the days when Blizzard were like this, the amount of extra funny shit in each of their games from way back when shows the effort that went into them beyond just the superficial

As I watch though this video, I'm learning of yet more reasons to not purchase Warcraft III: Reforged.

I don't know if it's exclusive to Ru Reforged or not, but I've found a few more quotes about which I don't remember you talking.
So there's L03Sylvanas40 & 42 seem to be related to Snarlmane's gnoll tribe and taking the control of him. Then there's quote number 15 which is related to Forest Trolls, but here she talks about killing them. And 48 with 49 (the 49th you've showed already) are related to Murlocks.


I don't know if it's old script texts or Blizzard at that time have managed to get some quotes back... Seems to be a good finding for me

I'm impressed, but u clearly didnt find many of the easter eggs in rexxar campaign 1-3. There's actually a few more bosses that are hidden, if accessed send u to a portal where u have to fight a demon and win, and also a skeleton boss i remember in one of the old maps on campaign 1. Try looking at it

Hi guys. I played this game many, many years ago. It seems it is completely impossible to play this version of it as a remaster called Reforged has been made. I would really like to play the original but see no way of doing it? Do you have to buy a physical copy from eBay or the like?

I always wondered if “Strahnbrad“ was a reference to “Strong Bad” and it wasn’t till I played SC remastered that I noticed the Marine armor shop doodads are also called “Tracey’s armoury”

Nice

i mis this game on windows xp. I hate reforged, Look what they did to kael thas my boy

I'm still coming back for @Abelhawk's rap clip of Kael-Thas.

YOU CAN REBUILD DESTROYED BRIDGES???????

As much as you don't like talking about reforge, can you see if there was newly added easter eggs or ones removed. Would be cool.

I had no idea there were more secrets to be found thank you for pointing them out.

I really miss some gags from the originals tho
Especially the 'TRAP MECHANISM' and 'Hi Jimmy!'

every homestar runner reference you've put in your videos over the years makes me happy

hey i remember hearing some of thralls lines on the w3 demo

I just wanted to add this as a weird interaction(?) that I noticed, which may or may not be related to the ranger Shandris. During the climatic ending mission of Reign of Chaos, I remember as a kid that there was a Dark Ranger as part of Archimonde's army, which baffled me at the time. I assumed either Shandris died and got resurrected or she was somehow possessed. Though it was only that one time that I ever noticed a dark ranger as part of the army, I couldn't figure out how to repeat that process again.

Awesome video too watch before playing through the campaigns !

Not sure if this qualifies as an easter egg, but if you have a meat wagon pick up a sheep's skeleton and read its description it's quite funny

In Terror Of The Tides Mission 1, Rise Of The Naga is it possible to get to the wooded island on the east side of the map? I can see it using cheats but I haven't found a way to blink there yet. Are there any unused triggers or items at that island or is it just there for scenery?
