[Exploration] Stratholme mountain climbing (with Naxxramas original portal)

[WizardTrokair]

Today I climb some mountains after breaking out of Stratholme, leading me to a new landscape of metallic textured hills on a side of the instance never shown before. From one high point I can use the Rocket Boots to jump over the locked gate at the end of Stratholme... and reach the raid portal originally intended to lead into the LV 60 Naxxramas raid! Explorers have seen this portal within un-instanced Stratholme, or even within Naxxramas itself, but this is the first time that I have seen it reached within the actual Stratholme instance.

The music is Frank Booker's 'Fall Out' on Sleazy Beats Recordings. Many thanks to Rayne749, who inspired and pushed me to reach this portal. Enjoy the exploration... always more to come!

Amazing exploration tro! You sure deserve some rep from me, however, I must spread it around some more. Looking forward for more!

Wow man! Great video!

It would be very cool if we could get in the level 60 naxx raid, just sayin

Now, try go there in raid group, it would be pretty cool to get to 60 naxx raid, but i dont think thats possible

As someone said elsewhere, they took the old naxxramas, changed some textures and the mobs. So even if we were able to take this portal, it would teleport us to the old but now new naxxramas.
But these portals doesn't work anymore .. If it says that you require a raid group, it's interesting but i don't think it'll work even with a raid group..

Nice exploration anyway ! I'm glad to see you jumping around, I remember you not being that good with wall jumping but in your last two videos, you really improved
+3 rep for you!

Soon to be the first legendary explorer ?

Thanks Nyarly! You're right... I did get frustrated with my wall jumping abilities, so I've practiced and got better. I still can't do it without a mount (like Cruven does)... I only got good at the mount-wall-jumping style... but it is a start and has allowed me to access new areas. And what you say about the LV 60 Naxxramas is correct. It is the same dungeon MapID as the old Naxx was. The "level 60 Naxx" no longer exists anywhere, except perhaps on old emulated servers. Here is a quote from Spoutnik, from my Naxx exploration thread, better explaining this:

Concerning the video, it's simple : when LK came out, the instance was not changed : everything stayed identical to what it was before : the map, the building in which the instance was built.. The only thing that changed was the level of the mobs (and the difficulty of the instance by the way ) (which means that the old version of Naxxramas is truly no longer accessible) So when the character logs in after patch 3.0, he was in the same instance.

Rayne, I have no idea how you would have got an error message... as to my knowledge, this portal has never been active.
I'm glad you suggested that I try to get to it though... I do think I'm the first to reach it in Stratholme without hacks.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, I wish I could give you rep more often.
