Il'gynoth's Whispers in Patch 8.3

Recommended Posts

43900-ilgynoths-prophecy-fulfilling-spoi

Il'gynoth returns as a boss in Ny'alotha, the Patch 8.3 raid, and with it comes another round of whispers full of prophecies. What do they entail? This article contains spoilers.

We fought Il'gynoth back in the Emeral Nightmare and if you played in Legion, chances are you know that his prophecies have manifested themselves later on in Battle for Azeroth. He gave us hints on how Magni would become a pawn, which happened in Rise of Azshara, and much more. Now, he's back in Ny'alotha and his Voice Overs are full of riddles.

Quote
  1. Before the last shadow falls, the father of sleep shall savor his feast.
  2. The golden one claims a vacant throne. The crown of light will bring only darkness.
  3. When their mistress beckons, nine ravens take flight. Each seeks a prize to earn her favor.
  4. The vessel of life disguises treachery. Beware of the eyes of green.
  5. Five lanterns now darkened. The flame they seek will light the master's way.
  6. The blind queen wields a scepter of bone. From the deep she calls forth doom.
  7. The cunning ones kneel before six masters, but serve only one.

Il'gynoth VO

We've analyzed all whispers below.

Quote

1. Before the last shadow falls, the Father of Sleep shall savor his feast.

This refers to Mueh'zala who is also referred to as the Father of Sleep based on WoWWiki. Mueh'zala is the loa of death worshipped by the Sandury Tribe, and likely, Bwonsamdi's boss, whose identity has not been unveiled yet.

Quote

2. The golden one claims a vacant throne. The crown of light will bring only darkness.

The "Golden One" is Calia Menethil. Although the game did not contain information on how Sylvanas killed her and Calia got raised, 8.3 sound files hint at Calia becoming the new leader of the Forsaken and her plans to reclaim Lordaeron.

Il'gynoth claims Calia will bring only darkness. This may refer to the events of Patch 9.0 and beyond. Remember, that we faced Il'gynoth as a boss at the beginning of Legion and his prophecies came true just recently in Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara.

Quote

3. When their mistress beckons, nine ravens take flight. Each seeks a prize to earn her favor.

The Val'kyr have some sort of pact with Sylvanas and it appears they are eager to fulfill her every wish. What that entails remains to be seen.

Quote

4. The vessel of life disguises treachery. Beware of the eyes of green.

"The Vessel of Life" probably refers to the Green Dragonflight. It foreshadows a traitor amidst their ranks. Merithra, the Daughter of Ysera, has seen some screen time in Battle for Azeroth and what the future brings is uncertain as for now.

Quote

5. Five lanterns now darkened. The flame they seek will light the master's way.

The Dragon Aspects have lost their powers after defeating Deathwing and in Battle for Azeroth, they're back helping us against N'Zoth. 

Quote

6. The blind queen wields a scepter of bone. From the deep she calls forth doom.

Patch 8.3 Voice Overs suggest that Sylvanas, who's now wielding Xal'atath, wants to use it against N'Zoth to defeat him. Her deal with Queen Azshara was to bring the champions of the Alliance and the Horde to Nazjatar, and in Visions of N'Zoth, Azshara provides us with valuable information on how to defeat the God of the Deep.

Quote

7. The cunning ones kneel before six masters, but serve only one.

In World of Warcraft there are six planes (realms of existence). We are the "cunning ones" and it seems we only serve one master, which is death.

This is pretty close to what I had laid out a few days ago:

I sort of felt the same way about the 6 masters part but I couldn't count off the top of my head how many planes there are - that's my bad - or I would have arrived at the same conclusion.

Interesting, reading it just now. What makes you think that "vessel of life" and "eyes of green" refer to Tyrande & Elune and not the Green Dragonflight?

I'm suspicious as to how Eonar avoided the Legion for so long when her titan brethren were vanquished so much easier. She was hiding in a sanctuary somewhere in the cosmos with neighboring planets or moons that seemed to be void corrupted. Admittedly, I thought this was my biggest stretch in the posted speculation.

When reevaluated, I think it is probably referring to the Green Dragonflight or maybe even Malfurion himself. There's still the unresolved plot point of the Nightmare being introduced to the heart of the Emerald Dream after the EN raid - I think someone has fallen to madness for sure. That raid was more than just a filler, throw-away fan service - the Rift of Aln, our fight with Xavius within it, the infection of the Emerald Dream's heart, and the release of N'zoth are all connected, I'm sure of it. I actually think our fight within the Rift weakened the boundaries between the Dream, the Twisting Nether, and the Great Dark Beyond, which could lead to easier access for the Void.

I'm not sure the titan pantheon will have such a starring role in the next expansion or patch, so that weakens my original theory as well. I do however find it interesting that the Seat of the Pantheon skybox imagery is still present. It's the biggest reason why I think the titan presence in the immediate story isn't done yet.

Similar to my theories a few days ago ?

Sylvanas "kneel" before

  • Kael'thas Sunstrider as lord of Quel'Thalas

  • Arthas (Lich King)

  • Thrall

  • Garrosh

  • Vol'jin

  • Jailer

but she serve only one - herself.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
