A hardcore guild in WoW Classic apparently knows no bounds. They master even the toughest challenges – and even raid in Ahn’Qiraj.
Those who can’t relate to the current WoW and find World of Warcraft Classic simply too boring seek a tougher challenge within Azeroth that requires a lot of willpower, endurance, and planning. The “hardcore” fans of WoW Classic have exactly that as their goal. But one guild goes even further. It’s not enough for them to simply reach level 60 without dying. They have set out to conquer all raids from WoW Classic without dying.
Now it was the turn of the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj – and C’thun had to bite the dust.
What kind of guild is this? The guild “HC Elite” from the server “Bloodsail Buccaneers” has taken on the hardcore challenge. They brought all their characters to level 60 under special conditions without dying even once. But their journey didn’t end there. Now they bravely fight through the raids of WoW Classic and have even managed to defeat the final boss from “The Temple of Ahn’Qiraj”.
Even though the boss has since lost much of his terror, he was a real beast back in the day. Many guilds despaired at the fight, and it took months before he was defeated for the first time.
This is how the kill went down: The whole raid was played cleanly, and there were no losses among the players – thus, this hardcore challenge was also successfully mastered.
The video of the kill is a bit unspectacular because it shows the “burn phase” of the fight. In the previous phases, you have to fight a lot of tentacles and damage the boss’s shell so that he is weakened and takes additional damage. Most somewhat well-equipped guilds manage to crush C’thun within one of these burn phases, and HC Elite does the same.
By the way, this is the same group, that also defeated Nefarian – and had also succeeded with flying colors.
Could you imagine leveling a “hardcore” character in WoW to level 60 and then going raiding with it?
