A player in World of Warcraft discovered the Old God N’Zoth almost by chance. After all, all the clues were already on the table!
The Old Gods are among the most powerful beings on Azeroth and have their tentacles in almost every major event. Whether it was the War of the Ancients, the Northrend campaign, or the Cataclysm, they have almost always played a significant role.
That’s why players have long speculated that the Old Gods will soon play a larger role in World of Warcraft again.
At the latest, these ideas were reignited by the boss Il’gynoth in the Emerald Nightmare. The boss has repeatedly released mysterious whispers that hint at a future event – but one of these sentences has remained unresolved.
Il’gynoth occasionally whispers “To find him, drown yourself in the circle of stars.” – Translated freely, “To find him, drown yourself in the circle of stars.”
Il’gynoth references Cataclysm area
Fans have long speculated and wondered what this could mean. Do you have to drown in a specific spot in the ocean? After all, the stars might then be reflections on the sea.
And that is indeed the case!
If you “drown” in the Maelstrom, you are taken to the area of Deepholm – a zone from Cataclysm. However, if you tilt the camera up and look at the sky here, you see a very strange structure in the sky.
A circle of stars surrounded by strange energies that strongly resemble tentacles. Furthermore, particularly bright stars resemble eyes – too many similarities to the old gods. Especially since this “skybox” exists only in Deepholm. This was discovered by the Reddit user Inxpryationz.
On Reddit and the “Secret Finding” Discord of WoW, this is the solution to the riddle. This would also fit well historically, as Deathwing was in Deepholm for a long time and was likely further corrupted by the old gods there – especially by N’Zoth.
What do you think about this matter? Is it just a fitting coincidence that people are twisting into shape now? Or has Blizzard really planned for N’Zoth to “emerge” since Cataclysm?
Kul Tiras could perhaps be the next expansion – the Red Shirt Guy has thought of something.
