Sylvanas Defeat Cinematic Coming Today!

Recommended Posts

44QZk4x.jpeg

Update: the cinematic has been released! Check it out over here.

It's showtime today as Sanctum of Domination opens on Normal and Heroic difficulties on US servers, and we'll finally get to see the Sylvanas Defeat Cinematic. What can we expect from it? This post contains slight spoilers.

After today's maintenance in the Americas, Sanctum of Domination will become available and first guilds will clear the raid, unlocking the long-awaited encrypted cinematic that will forever change the course of the Shadowlands.

Blizzard Promises an Epic Ending

Game Director Ion Hazzikostas had this to say about the Sylvanas fight in an interview.

Quote

"And there is a combination that I can't spoil, but I am looking forward to seeing the community discuss and dissect as they try to figure out what's next for her. And what's next for the Shadowlands as a whole.” 

It also seems Sylvanas won't die, as we will try to figure out what's next for the Banshee Queen.

Will Zovaal Get the Final Sigil? (Spoilers!)

The final moments of the fight against Sylvanas take place in the Arbiter's Chamber, where Zovaal will try to claim the final missing sigil. If you played through the Chains of Domination campaign, you probably know that he managed to get the Sigil of Ardenweald and Maldraxxus, so there's only one remaining...

Sylvanas Redemption?

In-game quests suggest that Sylvanas' soul has been shattered, so Zovaal likely possesses a piece that allows him to control the Banshee Queen in one way or another. Will she be on our side after her defeat in the Sanctum of Domination?

We're just a little over 3 hours before we figure out what exactly will happen with Sylvanas. In the meantime, tell us what you think will happen at the very end of the raid.

Something Nathanos-related might have a place. A double-cross, unlikely as it is.

Honestly, before Ardenweald cinematic I wasn't sure Blizzard remembered him still existing.

Either she lives and has time to come to some kind of redemption with the Forsaken, or she reclaims the torn piece of her soul and is judged by an awakened Arbiter after confronting the Jailer and dying a final death.

From one of the raid cinematic I saw earlier, it looks like the Arbiter gets hit hard by The Jailer, and turned into something akin to Death herself. So, I wouldn't bet on that one happening. Of course, stranger things have occurred.

Nathanos end boss of Shadowlands.

People who hate Sylvanas? They get to murder her waifu. 

People who love Sylvanas? Double-cross 4D chess!!

People who hate Nathanos? They get to murder him.

People who love Nathanos? He's the friggin' end boss. He's on Lich King level. 

Plus he has the voice actor to carry it. 

Plus the expansion started by Sylvanas stomping Bolvar and now we can end it on the same high note, with Bolvar asking you to pllllllleeeease get rid of Sylvanas' prime henchgoon he's sat in my chair and I can't move him 🥺

Everyone wins!

      Tama's Dragonflight Helper is a Weakaura that displays a weekly to-do list in the game and it's been updated for Dragonflight Season 4!
      The WeakAura is very useful for keeping track of everything in the game at max level. It shows you a to-do list with the weekly tasks, provides you with the locations of rares, super rares, information about your current Renown standing, and more.



      You will find Tama's Dragonflight Helper at wago.io. Please note that you must first download and install WeakAuras 2 to import the string.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.

      Hello!
      Earlier this evening, we rolled out a fix-up for players who opened their Timewalking dungeon / Raid cache before 2:30 p.m. PDT today. Affected players have received an in-game mail with the cache replacement.
      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.
