Deathless Warcraft 3 is very different compared to SC2. The slower kill speed means that I can split my attention more easily, but enemy heroes are on par with the hardest SC2 units, and the game's janky pathing combined with larger unit sizes can trap and doom units.
All-in-all I know that Warcraft 3 ramps up considerably in difficulty from here, with Frozen Throne being absolutely insane! Reforged adds it's own dose of wacky buggieness to the mix as well.

For those wondering where Nova: Covert Ops deathless is: My footage of it corrupted and I haven't had time to sit down and redo it. It will probably come out as part of a "lost episodes" chapter after WC3
Is ok. Sometimes shit happens. I hope you are all right! Great content!
We'll wait, it's great content!
At this point it will become a meme

Man that really sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm very impressed that this is even possible at all, and that someone is actually willing to do it. Playing Reforged, I mean.

Kel'Thuzad: "I am surrounded by an army of abominations!"
Arhas: *casually strolls past everything with Divine Shield and pimp slaps Kel*
Its funny if you have rank 3 holy light at that point you can one shot him. I always liked that you can effectively skip 99% of the level with that and Devine shield. Also another fun fact if you bring a mortar team to Andorhal you can place down an attack ground target that will kill Kel'thuzad before he even pulls back.
Kel as Arthas stands before him in Divine Shield: *Oh no.*
Kel : what are you?!
Arthas : Call me, a Hero Of The Storm.
Kel : I don't get it
Arthas : you will... in time...
I used to do that too, I was always terrified of abominations back when I was like 8 so I just went divine shield holy light and *boop*
As a one of Artas contractors I can confirm that we all ended up having long and happy lives!
yah Mon, can confirm, we'z hanging with da dwarf. Shame he didn't keep us on full time but what can ya do mon?
Arthas good, me smash and bash, he pay. Me happy.
...except for Arthas himself, unfortunately

LIES! SUCH LIES FROM THE ALLIANCE! He betray us, slaughter each and everyone of me brother! I was the only one that survive
Ah yes Arthas, health inspector of the alliance.

This guy be beating the human campaign in the hardest difficulty without losing a single unit while at the same time serving as Arthas' PR manager and spin doctor.
wdym Arthas did nothing wrong
Mal'Ganis's bout of vandalism destroying a singular lumber mill before retreating his entire army was an utter display of tactical genius worthy of Sun Tsu.
Rewatching this video and reading the comments. This one made me stop and laugh. Exactly my type of humour, hahaha
its a hit and run tactic.
The human army was cornered, and you know what Sun Tzu said:
"Do not press a desperate foe too hard. When a foe is cornered, they must fight for their lives and will do so with the energy of final fear. If you force them to go down in a blaze of glory they will do so, taking more of your troops than you might otherwise expend."
Why did you have to say "singular" instead of just "single", in fact your comment in general seems like you're trying really hard to say something simple in as flashy a way as possible.
Its uh, its all part of the Master Plan to Corrupt Arthas and Bring About the Coming of the Burning Legion. Trust the Plan

The Villager at the start is actually saveable, in the original WC3, i dont know if its possible in Refun- I mean, Reforged.
Crapforged*
In the original you can Holy Light him in time, but he's scripted to just drop dead anyway.
@@Eonflare55 Nah, he'd just run into a corner and hide there.
I tried very hard to save him in Reforged. I saved like 3 or 4 copies of my run across the bridge and then ran each of those save like 20 times each. I almost had it! I was so close, but they just don't let go of the agro... it's painful
@@Eonflare55 I remember saving him myself once years ago. I've never even been a competitive player, I just holy-lighted him and he survived anyway. Looks like that's just not a thing in the new game.
Missed opportunity at 16:20 - I had expected that sentence to end "Arthas has defeated the undead scourge without losing a soul." :)
Man, it is odd seeing the campaign in reforged
The Original ones was broken by BlizzTivision
@@ArariaKAgelessTraveller Not if you acquire the game from... by borrowing it off... yeah just pirate it.
it honestly looks worse imo
What's even worse is that they removed custom campaigns in crapforged and you HAVE to pirate the game in order to play so much cool content created by people
I had the latest updated version of WC3 on my PC before Reforged was released. I was able to just drag the entire folder from my old PC to my new one no problem.
I just have to disconnect my internet before launch, but I still have the original WC3 backed up forever :)
Too bad I'll never be able to play Island Defense again though... :/
"I got so into speed running that I accidentally speed ran a staircase and got a new personal best time."
LOL
I'm sad that these 17 minutes passed too fast, but was 17 good minutes.
Nice job, very entertaining! Not sure if this was mentioned already, but the WC3 AI attack waves can be exploited like you saw in Frostmourne where if they move out to attack and kill something or group of somethings and nothing is in their immediate vicinity, they just go home rather than pushing more. It's not 100% consistent and may require multiple buildings - someone familiar with the world editor can probably elaborate. You will notice this behavior a lot if you drop errant groups of buildings in separate places, which may be an ok strategy in certain circumstances of no death if you can use it to suss out consistent behavior.
Love u Jay
Oh my bro how are u
Im a big fan
Not on the last patch i have 1.27 were the AI strategically attack the weakest spot on your base even going the long way back to beat you
Oh yes. I remember that this mechanic allowed me to complete last human mission when I was playing all campaigns on the high diffculty for the first time. I fastly destroyed purple undead base and made single town hall for the expo. After a while Mal'ganis army came and destroyed it but i saw that they aren't attacking my main base anymore so i just killed his entire base with divine shield arthas.
Best part of the whole vid was the fact that the Dissension mission was nothing but a stream of sarcasm. Laughed my head off!
10:52 Blame it on Spain. I see someone remembers the USS maine, lol. Great Video!
History nerds the world over appreciate this reference.
To be fair, most of Spaniards remember it lmao
(History needs will remember this :)
Let's blame the Maine on Spain. So they blamed the Maine on Spain.
Thanks, I didn't notice it first. This makes the commentary of that mission even more funny.

6:52
Peasant: Where did everybody go? (all other units have abandoned base and are hiding in the corner of the map. These peasants pathed poorly and are stuck in a corner exposed to the undead).
Peasant #2: It's probably safe over here (as they walk toward the undead).

Skeleton Archer: Just wait, I'm doing my makeup!
15:11
Knight: Me? (when Grant says Arthas is alone against the entire scourge army, but has one ally. This knight is as deep into the enemy base as Arthas himself).
Knight: Oh... (when Grant says that one ally is bad enemy AI, rather than him)
Fucking' hero.
Also that poor Knight, dude was a total MVP
Let's just appreciate how he didn't pick his LITERALLY USELESS ult and just left the skill point sitting there :)
@Rias Gremory Resurrection, so bringing units that are dead back to live. Which would be against this challenge since units would have to die first.
@@Malygon *meanwhile casts Res on Muradin*
@@Malygon Technically the challenge is to not lose a unit. Resurrection brings them back alive and well so you havent lost a unit with them.
14:03
he doesn't need Resurrection since nobody died in his army :)
When you ran from Mal'Ganis' Infernal, it ran out of time. The summoned infernals are a timed unit, not sure how long though, I think that its around 120-240 seconds.
3 mins
I think what happened was that the infernal wasn't a part of the AI's strike force, and therefore when there was no unit for it to attack, it "returned" to the undead base for defense.
Arthas Dad: "So I heard you not gonna lose one of your own this time?" *gets stabbed*
Frostmourne: "Arthas may have decided to secure as many of his people's lives as possible...but you are no longer one of his people~!"
I think you did the last mission the hard way. Arthas is fully capable of soloing Mal'ganis' base. Divine Shield makes him invincible and unnoticeable. You can rush in, beat things down, then leave as it wears off. Prioritize the production structures to cause Mal'ganis to both waste resources and stop his unit production for attacks. Treating Arthas like a one man stealth strike team is my usual way of winning the mission, and would allow you to focus your entire unit production on defense.
As a lad I used to get really really into defending humanity in any game i played, i took the loss of even a single unit very hard, he or she had a family maybe even kids after all. You have completed what i never could and i'm grateful
The Culling gets a lot less extreme in this version. Instead of Arthas killing civilians before they turn into zombies, he instead kills...zombies.
No ethical dilemma and Uther and Jaina look a lot worse
Also he fights off the demon malganis.
Played the whole of Reign before refunding it in disgust just to see how bad it got.
Dalaran in undead can be won without producing a single unit
Silvermoon is almost as easy as Dalaran
Hyjal the Undead appears to be recognizing the unit cap and the massive "gg" deathballs just... Don't fucking happen anymore, so stonewalling Archimonde at Jaina can be done by a monkey randomly slapping his palm against the keyboard. Just alternate Tyrande and Malfurion's ults between attacks.
I did all of this on Hard and I suck at RTS.
Frozen Throne is "A little" better if I'm to be completely fair because the AI seems to actually be capable of understanding the Naga Faction so I actually had to try but I didn't get that far into it before Blizzard finally allowed refunds.
So uh, 3 of the most entertaining missions in the original are just mindless attack moves to the objective now, more or less. Throne MIGHT be better but I stopped caring before I could really get into the refunded version of throne.
What about the property damage?
@@llSuperSnivyll Those houses weren't structurally sound
If Arthas was fortunate enough to have General GGG-an in-universe God-like puppeteer-able to keep all his soldiers alive after the villages became undead (and there was no ripple effect from him wasting that time hanging around while elsewhere the undead began its encroachment), I’m sure he would have taken that route.
And considering Uther’s only contribution to the situation was to say, “There must be another way!” (there wasn’t), and Jaina had no solution other than, “I have to leave-I can’t watch you do this”, I don’t know they could come off looking much worse. Superficial moral grandstanding in the face of hard reality does more harm than good. Arthas had to make an ugly decision that put him on the knife’s edge; what he needed most was good council and encouragement to help pull him back from the edge.
Alas, instead he is demonized and abandoned by his friends, and the next ill-advised steps he takes ultimately pushed him over the edge. Granted, it almost had to go down this way so the tragic turn could happen, but I feel like the game openly condemned Arthas’ action while also making it clear it was the only choice that made any sense.
But, thanks to GGG, we do get the fairytale/Hollywood treatment where there is technically “another way”-even if it is little more than a technicality.
You were playing with locked formations on so you might've been able to save the Villager in Strahnbrad if you'd had them unlocked from formation so faster units aren't slowed down to the slowest units speed. In this case I think Arthas could've ran fast enough to intercept the orc and save the villager.
Arthas is so wonderful, running around enforcing social distancing and lockdown for all peasants afraid of zombies everywhere
Running up to people and hitting them with a hammer in melee isn't following social distancing though.
@@poilboiler It is if you're enthusiastic enough
@@poilboiler Depends on how long your hammer is.
No new years gatherings allowed.
@@poilboiler It is when your are the Gov. Similar to how it's legal to murder and commit theft when a Gov military does it.
I personally don’t like the “timed units die when they expire” rule but that’s just preference
Im inclined to agree with you, however you gotta respect the purity of the run
I agree but I think it's helps prevent some one from using just summons in the challenges
Professionals have standards.
It cost me my sanity. But I have done it. I spent an entire hour. But it is possible to save that poor villager running out from the gate. I have gone absolutely crazy trying to do so. Basically I got two heals on him while getting a unit in between him and the orcs to with hold position to body block.
14:03 you pick up the ulti
14:27 you have 1 ability point and no ulti
So... At some point, Mal'Ganis managed to kill something xD
I LOVED that you used the original Warcraft II soundtrack, it’s the best in all of Warcraft in my opinion!
After Arthas got home, he was welcomed as a hero to his people where he gave his father a big hug and everyone lived happily ever after
Fun fact, in march of the scourge you can actually save the first town as well, the undead caravan leaves from the lower undead base and can be killed before it arrives in the first town.
Arthas' Divine Shield go brrrr...
Arthas' Divine Shield go brrrr...
Don’t forget. The king sent an emissary to give Arthas the new codes that were created by Uther.
Finally someone portraits the story of the hero Arthas in the proper way!
Arthas: i will defend my people!
Arthas 5 minutes later: haha sword go shing shing
Yeeeeeeeeees good old Warcraft 3 my childhood !!
Not losing a unit while waiting for Uther to return is impressive. That was the only mission that ever gave me trouble. And it was usually losing towers to meat wagons.
in before dawn of war "without losing a unit.
Keeping those frail and useless guardsmen alive would be some challenge.
Oh boy grots are going to be the bane of his existence if he's ever forced to use them. At least you can put guardsmen in bunkers/tanks and use artillery.
@@GumshoeClassic Not in the first game, you get them as allied troops and occasionally you're allowed to control them. You don't get any bunkers until Winter Assault I believe. At least they don't take up supply.
@@poilboiler Oh you meant these little buggers. Oh god yeah they'd be a pain in the ass.
U know ur too good when u have to double-check that ur on hard while doing a no death run
Nah, bruh, I constantly have to check myself whenever I play the Alliance campaign
i love how you just glossed over arthas' ult...
i know it would be somewhat boring, but making the rule "everyone at the start has to be alive at the end" would fit the deathless feel ^^
Great video! I love the fact that you also try to save allied units as much as possible, it feels so RP (I would always try to do it too to feel like the good guy). I know I'm a little late to the party, but just in case:
I just completed March of the Scourge and noticed you can actually destroy the caravans before they arrive at the first village so you can save it (Arthas alone is enough, focus the meat catapult, use potions or invulnerability).
There is also a Murloc creep camp between both undead bases, you don't have to kill them but you can save a villager by destroying the cage (he gives you speed boots).
Hi, GGG, great run as always. It's always fun to watch you do these.
I do have to point out however, that you haven't saved all that you could in the fifth mission, March of the Scourge. You can actually intercept the caravan before it reaches the first village, as it starts in the green undead base. Since you said you wanted to save the second village in order to save as many allies as possible, this would allow you to save an additional village. There are even some ogres in the bottom left you could kill for an item (forgot what it was). Also you did not save that one villager captured by murlocs near the center of the map, who would give you Boots of Speed for saving him. I think you would count that as saving allies.
Other than that, great job.
Very good comment!
I was literally playing this campaign again a week ago and wondering if you could pull this off, I can not wait to see how you do it man please keep going.
These vids are amazing bro, I love the Starcraft/Warcraft type game and seeing someone do this without loosing a single unit is insane
1:33 you stopped peasant while you can stop orc
Ok so something u need to know. On cult of the damned ignore everything and use divine shield to run through the base and meet kel thuzard. After that it's over after the cutscene it's off cd again so u can use it again. So yeah don't waste time on the base.
On the new defense, humans have a way better chance due to reformed mechanics and stuff.
And about Mal ganis base, remember to send Arthas out into the left side of the base. After u take up frostmourne I think the acolytes try to haunt a second mine. If u kill those 5 with light and hammer it's done they won't expand to that side at all.
Also about the plague wagons..... u can actually send Arthas into the opposition base after an attack at around 20 mins remaining. The orange team starts moving after that u can use Arthas alone with shield to destroy them before they reach the first base.
Edit: Realized I played the game probably around 13 years ago now. 11 years from this comment. Played it again. So some clarifications made.
I can't find the actual comment I wanted to find. I said u can train sorceress or cannon tower in mission 6 but u apparentaly can.....
It would have been really awesome, if during the Culling of Stratholme, you have 5 starting units with improved stats:
A dwarfen rifleman, a footman, a sorceress, a priest and a mercenary. All joining arthas when he enters the city for the first time.
Why? Because that would represent:
A hunter, A warrior (tank), A mage, A priest (healer) and a rogue.
During Wrath of the Lichking (World of Warcraft) you travel back in time to help Arthas with the culling of Stratholme. During which your group is disguised.
Would be a really nice integration of a bit of World of Warcraft story, if they allready remade the mission in the first place.
Could be a nice easteregg when during the final scene where arthas screams "I will chase you to the ends of the earth if I have to" you could see the 5 units in the background (if all 5 survive), open a chest and then go through a portal created by the mage xD
or just turn the corner either way
hell yeah, love this series!
First, a “Thank you” for playing this on Reforged; I know it’s not particularly popular, but for spectating gameplay footage, it’s more enjoyable to watch than the quality of visuals we had at the turn of the century. Second, screw you for making the defense mission look so easy! ;p The first time I played through the campaign (2005ish I think), that was my first dead end. Even forsaking the side quests, I always got wrecked by that last wave. I tried everything. Building a few houses on random part of the map, going ham on towers, trying several combinations of units-every desperate attempt was for naught. Part of the issue may have been that I felt I’d done a pretty good job up to the 20-minute mark, and kept loading from that save without realizing I’d wasted too many resources and lost too many units to really have a chance later on.
I eventually did limp to the finish line after downgrading to “easy” difficulty for that mission and focusing on keeping Arthas and one building standing. After that, it was pretty much smooth sailing until the final quest of the vanilla game and the expansion, but I still remember the hours, sweat, blood and tears that went into eeking out a win on March of the Scourge.
…And then, years later, my trauma is rekindled and my hard-fought victory revealed for what it was (a travesty for the Lordearon forces) by a cheeky fellow who not only beats it on hard and easily pulls of the side quests, but also loses no units. Was this really necessary? Couldn’t you have just said, “This mission is virtually impossible to complete as it is, so it’s the one exception I made to my deathless run. Anyone who can survive at all is worthy of honor and praise, so I won’t even attempt to diminish that accomplishment with my parlor tricks and tomfoolery”?!
Still a helluva lotta fun to watch and revisit. Most impressive!
11:30 Man, this Arthas sounds like a stand-up guy.
Ah yes, finally good content to distract me from studying.
I can’t believe how unclose this run was... It was hardly even a challenge!

"saves Lorderon from the scourge"
honestly the way you narrate your videos is top notch. a lot of content creators make great videos and don't have the charisma to keep the audience amused. Glad you found something you enjoy doing that other people like myself enjoy as well
Yo these videos are absolutely amazing, thank you so much for putting all the time and effort into making these videos for us as a community to watch, Thank you so much! :D
its amazing how you can have so much skill in a game that you can save almost everyone. I lost several of these missions on hard with no additional limitations, and i sure as hell didnt do the optional objs
Chapter 1: You can save that dude fleeing out of Strahnbrad by repeatedly pressing M and left clicking on him to surround him with your units. Once he's surrounded he can't be accessed by the grunts.
Chapter 5: In the original version, there are some units that you lose at the very start of the mission (they're set to low HP and immediately attacked by zombies once the cutscene ends). It might be possible to save them though, because if you watch the cutscene instead of skipping it they slowly regenerate HP while the cutscene is going on, so maybe they can survive a hit.
Other stuff cuz I can't organize my thoughts
I think you'll be screwed on the summoned units rule when you get to 5th Night Elf expansion chapter.
In the final mission of Reign of Chaos you should be able to keep the human base alive for all 45 minutes by abusing goblin landmines. You can plant them down defensively, but a bolder strategy is to grab an invulnerability potion and as many landmines as possible (you'll need the landmines found on the 5th mission to have enough) and plant them around the main undead building to kill it and the workers. After that you can use hippogryph riders or more landmines to destroy the production buildings. The hardest part is getting your hero out alive from the first bombing run (maybe a TP staff or scroll could help with that).
Will you be doing the original version of the campaign? What about the demo campaign? When will the full VODs be available?
Just found your channel and spent half my day watching your SC2 speedruns and deathless runs. Can't wait to see the rest of WC3!

There is a cool trick on March of the Scourge, the plague caravan actually spawns in the green undead’s base and walks to plague the first village so you are able to finish the side quest before ever being given the objective
Iirc if you do kill it before it plagues the first village, the reward you normally get doesn’t spawn, the quests tab doesn’t update to show it just saying there is some kind of side quest here, and none of the dialogue relating to the quest plays. I am unsure if it’s possible to destroy it before village one legitimately as I only found this out from playing around with god mods
That intro skit was amazing!! Love these videos, thanks for doing them!
Reforged hard is easier than original hard
they use the Frozen Throne balance in Reign of Chaos and things like stacking consumables and dmg types make things a bit easier
but still very impressive, would love to see every other campaign also
I love the Warcraft 2 music :D could you do a deathless run of that next?
man if those boats got to sea so many people would have died. happy you made it so no one deid and everyone was happy
I got introduced to you with the sc2 deathless run, and here we are again.
I am glad to see more.
I already feel that you will really have a bad time in the final Undead Mission lmao
I feel like the undead mission 2 is gonna be a pain, with the last enemy hero as the roadblock.
Literally when I think your channel can't get any better you do this. Amazing content.
Grant is the voice calling from within Frostmourne, Arthas just used him as a scapegoat as at his heart he's an Undead main.
This channel is so underrated. Love your videos!
VOWSHH??!!??!
10:46 no wonder you're underwhelmed the AI is bugged on reforge bro. Switch to vanilla campaign and graphics for your next campaign if you don't want to steamroll everything ez

Your voice is so gentle and calming. I have no idea how this game works or what it is but I watched the whole video just because of your narration. The game reminds me of when I used to smoke with my ex and watch him play LoL. The strategy is interesting
I am proud that you had to sit through this game to create some good content, really good video
I remember when I was a kid that I was trying so hard not to get a single unit killed.
“The paladin Arthas” Sadge
I have been looking forward to this for months. Thank you.
Was a pleasure to work for Arthas. COVID hit us pretty bad though as demand for mercenaries is at an all-time low.
i would be interested in you doing the prologue deathless
Considering they are missions where you take beefy Orcs on missions to introduce players how to play an RTS, it wouldn’t exactly be the most difficult of challenges.
But then again the challenge might be for Thrall living with the tutorial guy’s voice in his head
its kinda lame that A WHOLE DREAD LORD WITH A FREAKING IMMORTAL HUGE UNDEAD ARM LOST to a small team of humans and on top of that they didn't lose any single unit LOL
Amazing video - can't wait for a part 2
March of the Scourge is a great example of "Blizzard did not intend this NPC to live" - I think it Might have been fixed in Reforged, considering you did not mention it in the video.
In the original game however, the cut scene give you control of the units, BEFORE it actually ends. By doing so it is possible to heal a villager that was supposed to die in the cut scene... Doing so you will quickly notice, that the cutscene view does not go away. Blizzard has literal tied the cut scene view ending to death of an NPC, that player can actually save - killing the peasant will let the game progress as intended though.
Look how they massacred my boy
Hopefully you do Warcraft 2 in the future. Used to play it a lot in my ps1!
keeps getting better with every rewatch
Literally could not stop laughing through the entire Dissension mission. God bless you good sir!
I don't remember saving a lot of people but I remembered slaying them though
Can you do a massacre run in Starcraft? (Kill all enemies)
He should do a Lowko challenge... kill all allied units the game is trying to give you for free.
on 1:31 as a kid i actually saved the villager countless times (yea i took it as a personal challenge) but i dont know anymore how i did it only that it was a bit tricky. though i think that in the original wc3 roc they lost aggro once u attacked / impaired orcs movement to the villager.
anyway great content.
I'm soooooooooo excited for this series of death less runs. Good Luck Grant, Kick lots of ass and save as them!
Kel'Thuzad : *"I have an army"*
Arthas : *_"I have a divine shield"_*
Kel'Thuzad : *"Nooooooo"*
Divine shield is OP xD
