Battle of Angrathar the Wrath GateWrath of the Lich King, the second expansion for World of Warcraft features new cut scenes that can be unlocked by completing quests in the story arc to take down Arthas, the Lich King himself. But why risk your neck challenging Arthas when you can watch the cut scene of the Battle of Angrathar the Wrath Gate and all of its fallout from the comfort of your own home?

Watch the Battle of Angrathar the Wrath Gate

The gates of Hell are open night and day; smooth the descent and easy is the way.

Wrathgate Quest chain has to be the most enjoyable experience I've had in any mmo since I first started playing NexusTK about 10 years ago. I can't wait to see more quest chains like this in the future.

Just watching this doesn't really make much sense. Sure it's cool, but unless you're invovled in the quests yourself, it just looks like another nice fan-made video.

I'm pretty sure they were going for the "machinima" style of previous fanmade movies. The actual Cutscene makes perfect sense and fits in perfectly with the overall storyline of the epic quest chain. 

 

This expansion is worth every penny, something I can't say for TBC.

yeah, this questline has to be the real highlight of the expansion for me. Probably one of the major highlights of playing wow over the years.

It really makes you feel like you are a part of unfolding events, in contrast to the old 'Marshall Windsor' quest line that leads up to Onyxia's lair - has you going off to kill onyxia, mounting her head on the gates of Stormwind then walking up to the throne room to see her standing there as if nothing ever happen :/

The aftermath of the wrathgate quest can be seen everytime you pass Fordragon Hold (but only by those who have done the quest... ). 

pure awesome-sauce.

I wish they hadn't released this video. When I saw it on another website I didn't realise you'd see it in-game as part of the quest chain.

Despite that fact, this quest chain is just amazing. Better than anything I've seen in any game (MMO or not). Just knowing how the rich lore and history of Warcraft has culminated in this moment makes it all the more enjoyable.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall feel no evil because I am the evilest.

Damn it the lich kind didn't died, he's probably going to be added as a boss in future patches, can't wait.
