Episode 9.3: Karazhan

Project Lore and pals drop in on Moroes in the middle of dinner in Karazhan. Will Moroes be a gracious host and allow Project Lore to pass or will this rogue try to serve Project Lore to his guests?  Find out on this episode of Project Lore.

As Karazhan is a 10-man raid, the guys wrangled in five members of the Totally Rad Guild to help them out. Here are the armories for everyone involved: DrDark, Lylelovett, Goggins, Dorkins, Xenophontos, Manifesto, Talonni, Bastosa, Wyche, and Wilx. Everybody is ready for all of the bosses, so let's see how things go.

Remember that our subscribe page has links for Project Lore all over the web. You can use our Episodes RSS feed or Twitter to find out when new episodes are out, and don't forget to join our Facebook Group, Facebook Page, and MySpace.

One more boss fight this week, tomorrow at Noon Pacific, and Alexis will wrap things up on Saturday at 3pm, so tune in!

Along with the facts presented from The Last Guardian about the door, I believe that it is also part of Blizzard's 2007 April Fool's joke.

The joke was the revealing of an incredibly long and difficult chain of quests to unlock the Black Temple on your server. At one point you got a trinket from Dire Maul by defeating all of the bosses their in under 30 min. This trinket allowed you to open the kitchen door in Karazhan. You then had to fight an extremeley hard fight with a hidden dragon boss on a small triangular balcony.

Of course, considering it was part of the April Fool's joke, none of this is actually in the game.

...Or is it?

btw, their is also a locked door further up the tower, which leads to the Karazhan Gryphon Roost. This was a flightpoint used to reach the upper area of Kara for saved runs, but they decided not to include it in the game.

Anyway, Great episode, and sorry about the long post!

I've seen youtube videos about whats under Karazhan. Blizzard has said nothing about plans for that area but I hope they say something soon. Look up those videos about the upsidedown Karazhan. If you look at it from a certain angle aparantly you can see a happy face. As far as I know it is just a bonus area that was probably intended to have a boss but said boss never made it in.

I'm not sure if this is right entrance, but somewhere in kara you can get to an under water place with upside down corpses.

The kitchen adjacent to Moroes is actually an alternate method of making your way from Attumen to Moroes. By ascending the stairs next to the Blacksmith you enter a hallway leading to the kitchen. This allows you to get to Moroes without dealing with the AoE pulls in the Ballroom (instead dealing with 2-3 pulls and pats). Since this route takes longer, it was only ever used when Moroes was a progression boss and taking the AoE Ballroom pulls often proved fatal.

The book, "The Last Guardian" describes the dungeon where Medivh died/exploded as being through a door off of the main dining room . . . which matches the description of the door in the kitchen.

I imagine that, within the dungeon where the Guardian was beheaded, there would be enough residual energy to enter the mirror Karazhan beneath the current tower.

If I remember correctly, the Gryphon Roost was on the Master's Terrace; as, it was a convenient half-way point.

Hi

Love the show , i have a question though would it be possible to get a version that we could download?

I find that i am watching episodes more than once but i have a bandwidth limit. At the moment every time i watch an episode it uses up a little more of my precious bandwidth (when i run out no more internet for the month).

I don't mind if it has the adverts in it or if i have to click through a couple pages of adverts to get to the download. But it would be much appreciated

Behind the locked door is a commander. U can see him talk when ur at nightbane i believe. Never tried it but perhaps a 375LP rogue can open that door.

October 3, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDragoni

@ Rubix3 and other bandwidth limited peeps.

You don't need to stream it all really. Just let it play at the start until it starts showing a playing picture, then pause it. The movie will still load while it's paused, so just give it a few minutes and you should have most of it done.

I'm digging the M*A*S*H theme song turned into a Maiden song.:D

BTW, you guys should look into getting deadly boss mods, it'll announce who has garrote, when vanish is going to pop, and all kinds of other garbage for other bosses.

October 3, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJCD

As far as I know the room after Moroes leads to the door tht leads up to upper kara just incase none of the raid me,bers know about the tower outside.

October 3, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJosh

Woot, on to maiden. Nice video. Really like the comment before the priest went down "where's my boss"?. Keep up the good work guys.

October 3, 2008 | Unregistered Commentersammy

The healer IS freaking Crazy :D Love im !!! Thumbs up for that !

Hmmm... in the first few episodes it showed them tips in the orange boxes that popped up but they havent been shown for ages... :(

Just thought it worth mentioning some additional tactics for dealing with Moroes, specifically why you should try to have 3 people on him at all times.

1. He Gouges whoever's is highest on his threat list.
2. He blinds whoever is physically closest to him.

So... if he gouges your main tank, it's ok because the offtank will pick him up. However, if he then blinds the offtank at the same time you can start kissing goodbye to your healers.

Best plan is pretty simple. In addition to the two tanks, make sure there's a melee dps standing closer to him than both tanks. So MT eats the gouge, melee dps eats the blind, Offtank carries on tanking as usual. It helps if your dispellers can get rid of the Blind asap, too, but with three guys on him it's not strictly necessary, you can still ensure he remains tanked.

just letting you know moroes does not drop all aggro when he vanishes but he does garotte every time he does that just watch out if you keep dots up at 1% he sometimes will die while vanished and you won't be able to loot him

October 3, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterunknownanime

oh dear... i haven't heard jokes that bad since, well, yesterday when i was hanging with my guy friends and arguing over Dragonlance, but that's beside the point. Cool episode. I love that everyone was like "HE DISAPPEARED"

Goggins' songs are the shiznit. And Zand, as much as I'm sure that the female fan base would enjoy to see you pantless *not saying anything for myself haha* please... keep them on. That part made me crack up.

Hi I am tylenole from stormreaver allied. I am answering your question about whats in the kitchen past moroes.

There is a room with a locked door. No key will open it. No rogue can lock pick it. Not gunna say how I got in it but all thats in there is a chair and a table. Once you clear that area go stand in the door and look around and you can see past it. also FYI there is also a tomb under kara that you can sheep into its pretty cool. Check the screen shots on our website.
