## Summary

This video features Xaryu reacting to a video by another creator who used GM accounts on a private server to make Classic WoW bosses fight each other. The video showcases several boss vs. boss matchups, with Xaryu and the creator predicting outcomes and explaining the mechanics and results.

### Key Points

- **Introduction to Boss Fights** [00:02] — Xaryu introduces the video where Classic WoW bosses are made to fight each other, expressing excitement and curiosity about predicting the winners.
- **Herod vs. Stitches** [00:41] — Herod (level 40 elite) defeats Stitches (level 35 elite) due to higher level and damage output, despite Stitches having more health.
- **Princess Theradras vs. Lord Roccor** [02:54] — Princess Theradras wins against Lord Roccor, leveraging her higher health pool and Dust Field ability, despite Roccor's harder melee hits.
- **Rattlegore vs. Krastinov** [05:16] — Rattlegore wins due to higher damage and ability spam, though the fight was initially bugged; corrected timing still resulted in Rattlegore's victory.
- **Onyxia vs. Kaz'rogal** [09:14] — Onyxia wins decisively with 1.1 million health and higher damage, while Kaz'rogal's abilities are script-driven and don't transfer when mind-controlled.
- **Mutanus vs. Edwin VanCleef** [13:01] — Mutanus wins in a close fight without adds, but the creator notes Edwin would win in a real encounter with his adds.
- **Baron Rivendare vs. Darkmaster Gandling** [15:04] — Baron wins due to his Unholy Aura and higher DPS, despite Gandling having nearly double health.
- **Magni vs. Sylvanas** [17:28] — Magni is declared the winner after a 20-minute fight, as Sylvanas has lower health and takes more damage, though the fight would take hours to complete.
- **Defias Pillager vs. Gaz'ro** [19:55] — Gaz'ro wins the NA hardcore server showdown, with the fight being close and decided by casting speed.
- **Patchwerk vs. Razuvious** [22:26] — Razuvious wins despite Patchwerk's higher health, due to his massive damage output (6-9k hits and 25-30k Unbalancing Strikes).

### Conclusion

The video demonstrates that boss vs. boss outcomes in Classic WoW are determined by level, health, damage, and ability mechanics, with raid bosses often having inflated stats that make fights lengthy. The creator plans to explore more matchups, including with full mechanics.

## Transcript

called I made classic wild bosses fight each other. It just came out. I was going to watch hardcore moments, but like this looks so entertaining to me. I almost want to like watch this video and predict what what's which one's going to
win. And funny enough, we watched Jeff's video last week where he had two bosses fight each other and I predicted and then like the boss fight didn't really like go well cuz one was like scaling up or whatever. Anyway,
I'm really curious if we can predict which bosses are going to win in this. So, anyway, let's check it out. >> Can you make Herod fight Stitches? Yes, several more in this video. And I'll tell you I don't think I've ever
received a more requested type of video than this one than when I just happened to show a couple of boss V boss battles in recent videos. And so, we're going to I'll explain some of the technical aspect of how this works and how
thing is you can make your guess as to who's going to win each of these match-ups and then we'll watch fights play out. So, for our first match-up, We've got level >> All right, hold on. Hold on. Stitches
versus Herod. Herod [snorts] has like 12,000 life. Herod [snorts] has like 12,000 life. Stitches has like 12,000 life. 35 elite versus 40 elite. I mean, you would think probably Herod
would win. Stitches does have more life, but like Herod is like higher level. >> 35 Stitches, the menace of the road in Duskwood, versus Herod, the level 40 boss of the armory in Scarlet Monastery. And this is like the Herod POV here. So,
I'm on a GM account controlling Herod as my pet. And I can see his abilities, at the start of the match. And then he has an enrage that kicks off at 50% whirlwind that doesn't show up as an ability here. It's only part of the
monastery. >> I wonder if there's a way to like not use them as a pet and just like have them fight. But it might not might not or something. So, maybe he's doing it this way cuz
like you can't like aggro them. But, uh yeah, no, he Guys, he's not an actual GM. He's He has like his own private server essentially that he's using He's He's using it to like record footage and stuff like that.
Many of these bosses simply have their regular melee or basic attack, and that's going to be the case for him. And as you can see, the level difference is just insurmountable here. The damage and armor values mean that Herod is hitting
poor Stitches for around 140 and cleaving for over 200, and Stitches is only meleeing Herod for around 50 or 60 a shot. And so, we speed this up
to the inevitable outcome. Rip Stitches. No contest. Herod wins our first fight, and Stitches, as you can see, drops Stitches' Femur, the white quality armor-enhancing off-hand. And okay, on
going to be Princess Theradras. >> All right, let's pause. Let's pause. Before we even see anything, they're both 51 elites. Lord Roccor has only both 51 elites. Lord Roccor has only 12,000 life. Princess has 22,000 life.
Princess easily wins this, right? Like, Princess just hits so hard. goes to a bunch of Oh, yeah, no, Lord Roccor's in BRD. is not close, right? >> That's the level 51 final boss of
>> versus Lord Roccor, the level 51 first boss of BRD. Or it kind of depends on he's pathing, but I consider him the first boss. Anyway, Princess here has three abilities: Repulsive Gaze, Boulder Barrage Attack, and Dust Field, her AoE
that everyone just calls fart. And as for Roccor, he's another simple boss with no special abilities, just his melee. And as we kick it off here, use her abilities on cool down like you could like with a hunter pet or any pet
an auto cast. I'm just periodically clicking it and I'm explain a bit more of why that is in our next fight. But as for this one, I'm not using repulsive gaze on him because Rock Gore is immune and I'm not using her ranged boulder
throw because Rock Gore is of course in melee range. And so I'm hitting dust field every 20 seconds, which is how she works in the normal encounter and the ability itself lasts for 8 seconds. And as you'll see here, it hits Rock
Gore pretty good for around 41 50 damage per tick. And her melee hits for like 50-ish HP. It's the darker orange of the numbers there. And then the ability, the dust field, is the yellow damage. And we can see the hits from Rock Gore
on Princess up here. >> Wait, why is this so close? been a complete shut out like Princess took like zero damage. Like she's like double the life. Why is this so close? It's just cuz of the armor? Ah.
>> He hits much harder. He's meleeing her for anywhere from between like 130 to 200 and sometimes critting for almost 400. So much higher but slower melee. But as you can see, Princess's health pool is way way higher than Rock Gore's.
>> The damage done by dust field is just enough to eventually goes. >> We're two for two, guys. Two for two.
>> And he's going to drop his nice pre-60 starter shield. match up. And I >> Okay, so this was the one in his last >> Okay, so this was the one in his last video that we guessed and
the last video but it was like bugged cuz he it was from the GM account or whatever. So like now we'll actually get to see who wins. Anyway, Krastinov or Rattlegore, guys? I'm still going to go with Rattlegore, I think.
with Rattlegore, I think. But Krastinov hits crazy fast. way. They both hit hard. I'm going to go with Rattle Gore though, I think. powers video, and it's what prompted a lot of the comments I showed at the
beginning of this one. And so when Zaryu watched that video, he stopped and he >> All right guys, who wins this fight? Rattle Gore Rattle Gore or Krastev? Who wins? Who wins?
things, but it's still pretty good and pretty interesting. >> Okay, the attack speed is way different than normal. This isn't even a fair and it was kind of over real quick and it didn't make a lot of sense. And so
the deal. So first off, Rattle Gore's abilities are a knock away and instant abilities are a knock away and instant damage ability and War Stomp, a stun. And Krastev the Butcher, his abilities are again, smaller screen here. He has a
rend that Rattle Gore's immune to and a damage spell called Backhand. And then he enrages at 50%. So first of all, here's the fight Zaryu saw and I just playing this in real time and you can see it's just no contest. Butcher is
just getting wrecked. Well, with this GM control of the mobs, some abilities don't like properly follow the GCD >> Oh, that's what happened. They don't follow So cuz it's on auto cast, so I think
probably. >> and are just spammed. And that's the case with Rattle Gore, he's just spamming both of his abilities non-stop and Butcher's immune to the War Stomp, but the Backhand, which is Rattle's
normal damage plus 30, is going up constantly, super super fast for like >> So like I said, that was disappointing, fight here in a second. But first, just for reference, here is real quick with
no abilities, just raw auto attack or melee. And these guys, you can see >> but still Rattle Gore's melee is hitting Butcher. Again, here are the damage numbers for much more than Butcher is hitting Rattle, again, up here. So same
outcome. But okay, one more time, here is the real fight, as accurate as possible. I'm having Rattlegore use his knock away damage ability every 20 real Scholomance fight, and Butcher is using his backhand every 15 to 20
seconds, also which is how he works. And as you can see, it's unfortunately for the Butcher a similar outcome. He's tough, for sure, but he just cannot overcome the much, much higher damage from Rattlegore.
interesting as I do? I'm like like from the last video, I was like so invested, and now I'm like, "Okay, now we know." So, we're three for three on the guesses, so that's pretty good. >> Here we go, right here. He gets his
enrage after 50%, and you can see he turns red there, and he does start to hit a bit harder, but it's not going to be nearly enough. And so, this methodology of figuring out how the actual fights work, and then adjusting
or correcting for the timing of abilities as best I could, is how I did might ask, "Well, why not just go fight in the dungeon and only MC one of the bosses?" But, I wanted to see their abilities on my pet bar, and then also
GM wasn't giving one of the other some advantage to one mob. So, I elected to have both mobs controlled by two GM accounts. And so, our definitive champ >> I do wonder if there's a way to just spawn both of them at the same time and
have them act as if they normally would and fight each other. Like somehow make them aggro to each other, so you don't have to like mind control them. straight up auto battle, you know? >> And we're on to our next match, and
we're going to go big this time. >> Okay, Kaz'rogal versus Onyxia. Oh gosh. Okay, so Onyxia has 1 million life, and Kaz'rogal has 300,000. So, just based off that, Kaz'rogal has like this
Kaz'rogal has like this Yeah, it's got to be Onyxia, right? Who do you guys think's going to win? Onyxia or Kazak? It's got to be Onyxia, right? Kazak clears? What, really?
On easy, Shirley. Kazak, no way On loses. I feel like On, like okay, so is On going to summon welps and then know if that debuff is going to be a big
Cuz there's a debuff that Kazak does where if you go out of mana, it like kills you. Wait, Onyxia has no mana. So maybe he can't put it on Onyxia.
Oh. Oh wait, no. If if if you go Oom on Kazak, it heals Kazak with the debuff, right? Anyway, I will see. I think it's Onyxia. that debuff carries somehow. >> two raid bosses. It's going to be
Onyxia, the original final boss of WoW, versus Kazak, the uh one of the original two vanilla world bosses. And as we get this started, I'll explain the abilities. So Onyxia has a tail sweep, which obviously is not going to hit
Kazak in the front. Then has her main ability here, flame breath, which is the big like three to four K hit in the front in a cone. And then these other play. These are Onyxia's deep breaths that she do during phase two up in the
air. And I believe there are different versions for her different uh positions encounter. And so for Kazak, when MC'd, there's no abilities that show up. And I bit and found that, you know, his abilities, which he has a couple of
ranged shadow bolts, Mark of Kazak, a deep clap, a cleave, a mana drain that drained, and then his main ability where he heals when a raider dies, I found abilities that show up on the bar when you MC the creature. They're more like
script-driven abilities that only show up under certain conditions at certain times. And these don't transfer to an MC'er. So anyway, long story to say that Kazak is only going to melee. And I did take Onyxia separately to the Blasted
Onyxia and you can see it here. Onyxia is clearing by a mile, so encounter, but you know, she's immune to most of what Kazak does, and the rest of members, which doesn't really apply. So, our story is that Ony here is meleeing
Kazak for around you can see 7 to 800 and periodically flame breathing for 3 or 4,000. And Kazak [clears throat] is meleeing for around 500 hit. And as you can see, they have drastically different health
pools. Kazak a little under 400k and Ony at about 1.1 million. And so, it's Onyxia with the clear advantage over this sort of somewhat designed to be much more dangerous to a large group if they don't kill him
fight, or I think it's going to be the one after this one, these raid battles surprised me, but then I realized, you know, these bosses are designed to be DPS by like 30 raiders blasting away and doing DPS to a single player target, a
tank. So, when you pit them against each other, the damage they do versus the the fight's going to last a long, long time. So, anyway, the outcome here really is no contest. Onyxia has way too much health and does way more damage
than Kazak, so he's defeated and what does he drop here? It's a bunch of and there is the ED, big main hand mace. Okay, so our next match, we're going to bring things back down to normal.
>> Mutanus versus Edwin. Edwin clears, right? should. The Yeah, Edwin. Like, does anyone disagree here? It has to be Edwin. Cuz he's going to he's going to summon adds,
or he should, and the adds Mutanus won't be able to deal with. So, yeah, GG. >> size, we've got an early dungeon final boss match up. It's going to be Mutanus the Devourer, the level 22 last boss from Wailing Caverns versus Edwin
VanCleef, level 21 and the last boss from Deadmines. And again, these are two pretty simple melee only bosses that would be much more >> complex in their real environments, right? Like Mutanus comes after an
escort in Wailing Caverns and like a couple rounds or waves of mobs, I think. And VanCleef is much more uh tough because he spawns with two staff ads and then two more show up halfway through. But when we strip all of that away, you
beat-'em-up >> no ads. So that chain like like I I thought first like my my my my guess was based off of, "Okay, there's going to be ads. Mutanus can't deal with the ads. GG." So without the ads, this is really
>> And this one's close. You can see the the health ticking down there. >> Let's go ahead >> by a hair, it's going to be Mutanus close, you could say, "Well, it's just RNG with crits that can change things."
>> one play out three separate times and the outcome was always the same. And we're actually watching the closest one here. So the early dungeon champ is Wailing Caverns over Deadmines. >> No, we're wrong, guys. We're wrong. I
Guys, I will say though, if it's the actual fight, like if Mutanus went onto and fought Edwin, Edwin would win, not even close from the ads. And if Edwin went into Mutanus's
uh like you know, in the BFD, then like like I guess if you brought his ads, then Edwin would still win. It's just the ad like you need the ads. Okay, next up we have battle of the undead end-game dungeon bosses. Make
your guesses on this one. It's going to >> Okay, Baron and Darkmaster Gandling. >> [sighs] >> The thing about Darkmaster Gandling is he like ports you, right?
Baron has an aura. Like our is the aura going to be active? If the aura is active, then Baron easily wins. his aura. And then the whole thing about
Darkmaster Gandling is the is the rooms, right? Man, I would love to see these fights with all the boss mechanics. Like
I wonder if Jeff could do this where he spawns Darkmaster Gandling into Baron's room and they fight there and then he spawns Baron into Darkmaster Gandling's this is an idea for your next video. Like you know what I'm saying? Like that
>> Be Baron Rivendare level 62 versus Darkmaster Gandling level 61. Stratholme Dead versus Scholomance. And Baron is going to be meleeing only, but he also >> Cuz the >> And Gandling has a curse that weakens
the target. And he has arcane missile spell that he won't cast because he's got to get this one started right away because as you can see, Baron's aura begins ticking as soon as I make these guys hostile. And so,
here we go. You can see Baron's melee hits on Gandling are again the orange and then the ticking unholy aura is the yellow. And we can watch Gandling's >> Oh, Gandling has a 50,000 life to Baron's 25,000. I didn't realize he has
Baron's 25,000. I didn't realize he has almost double the life, but still but still with that aura [snorts] >> And then we can see eventually >> And then we can see eventually Gandling's curse go out.
interesting fight cuz Gandling has a much higher health pool than Baron, but Baron is doing much more DPS and he's doing it with unholy aura and his melee. bit. And as we get toward the end of the
>> Look at how close this ends up being. But it's the Baron who overpowers Gan'ling and was able to claim it. There it is, the Devout Crown and the Witch Blade from him.
a little different. We'll call this one We're going to call THIS HORDE VERSUS We're going to call THIS HORDE VERSUS >> OH, Magni versus Sylvanas. Oh my gosh. It has to be I think Magni, right? Going to be Magni It's going to be
Magni, right? I think it's Magni. This is a good one, though. I think I think Magni has to clear. And you can't even see their health pools, but Magni's got to like do Yeah, it's it's got to be Magni.
I mean, it has to be, right? >> or maybe Undercity versus Ironforge cuz it's going to be Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, leader of the Undead or the >> damage.
so right away, we get started and you can see that like, what the heck is moving, even though I can see both of these taking a bit of damage. But this >> Why do they do like zero damage? What the heck?
>> ultimate uh like example of our magnification of the issue I talked about with Onyxia and Kaz'garoth. So these are world faction bosses that are designed for or potentially made to be attacked by, you know, could be an
opposite faction raid or raids of 100 or more players. And they need to survive a going to have insane amounts of armor and massive health pools. And they're also not going to be hitting super hard that they one-shot players. So when
pitted against each other, their damage is very small and their health and armor is very high. And so we get a fight that would last absolutely forever. And for a whole weekend getting this footage? Like cuz you can't really speed
it up, right? >> I let this one go on for 20 minutes, just like this, to the point where finally there was a little move here in Lady Sylvanas' health bar. And so that, combined with her lower
health pool and the fact that their damage seems similar lead me to, with apologies to my horde friends, I declare King Bronzebeard the winner of this one. >> Yeah, yeah, that So, that makes sense. Um so, she has way less life
and is taking more damage. So, like yeah, so Sylvanas would for sure, for sure, for sure lose. But yeah, he would have to keep this going for like I mean, how long would that take? Like 20 20-hour fight or something? Like I
type of math here, but like it would he'd have to leave his computer on like >> not let the entire thing play out for hours and hours. Okay, one more small, final raid boss. >> Oh.
Wait, is that Fires Pillager versus Gazlowe? Oh my gosh, that's actually tough. So, if Gazlowe has his Voidwalker and there's pushback, Gazlowe easy wins. Pillagers though are NPCs. Do NPCs have
pushback? I actually don't think they do. don't. Um They're both level 14. I can't see their health pools.
Pillager obviously hits really hard. It looks like Gazlowe actually doesn't have his Voidwalker and the pushback won't exist. Gazlowe, but now I'm like second-guessing of like does the
Pillager randomly win here? If the Pillager gets two fireballs off, If the Pillager gets two fireballs off, Gazlowe just dies.
I've actually died to Gazlowe, too. I've died to both of these mobs. I actually might go with the Pillager. If there's a if the Gazlowe summons a that might put it in Gazlowe's favor, but it looks like there's going to be no
I think the Pillager. uh the NA hardcore server battle. And you might know our hardcore servers are named for infamous hardcore killers, and I play on Defias Pillager, which is the
name of the level 14 caster in Westfall. And the other NA server is Skullrock, which is the brutal cave full of uh warlock casters, and at the end is the level 14 caster Gaz'ro.
>> Cuz you started casting a second sooner, that that orc is a cheater, bro. You see that? He started casting like like half a second before the pilly. So, I don't I don't know. >> is here, and this is like a blink and
on each other. >> Rip. Rip. >> And so, the champion of the NAHC server showdown is Gaz. >> Wait, that was actually kind of kind of
kind of close, but I don't know why I forgot. Gaz'ro just just Does he spam shadow bolts, though? I feel like he normally only does one feel like he normally only does one shadow bolt and then attacks you.
the pet. Hm, I don't know why I I don't know why I was saying he was autoing. >> for Skullrock, and uh congrats to him on the linen cloth from this poor Defias Pillager. And with that, we're onto our
final battle, two hard-hitting like absolute badass bosses from Naxxramas. absolute badass bosses from Naxxramas. >> Oh! Patchwerk versus Razuvious. Patchwerk clears, right? Especially Razuvious without his
mechanics. Oh, Pat- I mean, it's Patchwerk. It's Patchwerk. way you actually think Razuvious is going to win here. So, Razuvious has about 2 million, Patchwerk has double that, like 4
million. And it's Patchwerk.
Razz one shots tanks, which is why he's tanked by ads. True. Is Patchwork going to have his uh Like what what happens if you only put
on one tank to Patchwork? Like where do the hateful strikes go? In other words, is Patchwork going to hateful strike Patchwork?
To the second most threat. No, assuming there's only one player. just the one player? Would the hateful go to the one tank? Cuz if there's go to the one tank? Cuz if there's hateful strikes that go to the one tank,
then I think Patchwork might clear. But if hateful strikes just don't exist now, cuz there's only one on the threat meter, tier one sub. Hope you're doing wonderful.
>> This is Patchwork versus Instructor Razuvious. >> Both of these guys have huge damage and massive health pools. Razuvious does an unbalancing strike that hits super hard and a disrupting shout that's an AoE
mana burn, and so it won't come into play here. And then Patchwork, he'll just be meleeing like normal. He'd also do a hateful strike to off tanks, which But here we go. >> So no hatefuls. No hatefuls.
>> Hits on Razuvious we see up here, and you can see how extremely fast he's between 5 and 700 a >> 7,000 damage from Razuvious's autos. 7,000
compared to the 500. But they're slower, and he has twice the life pool. You You guys are probably right. Razuvious probably clears. >> whack and critting for double that every so often.
actually very very slow, but when he does connect, he hits extremely hard, like anywhere from 6 to 9k, and that's because, of course, he's supposed to be tanked by one of his mind-controlled students. No player is going to last
long against those hits. And as you can see, every 30 seconds, when it comes up, he'll do his Unbalancing Strike, and that hits poor Patchwerk for like 25 to 30k or more, and you'll see that as he's yelling over
and you'll see that as he's yelling over and over. damage, and it's a good fight that ends up going >> Ah! >> IN REAL TIME.
>> IN REAL TIME. >> AH! I'M WRONG. OKAY. All right, guys. >> [sighs] >> I was wrong
about the Patchwerk and Razuvious fight, and you guys were right. >> But, unfortunately for Patchwerk, nothing can overcome that crazy Razuvious damage, and he claims the champ of Naxxramas and is able to claim
Patchwerk's 134 gold uh shoulder token, and then the axe Severance. And that is interesting, I'll do more of these. I'd like to hear what matchups you think right? We could be doing Razuvious clearing all the way through MC, or
possibilities. >> Uh yeah, we did Okay, dude, yeah, there's a lot of potential here. This was so fun. Um I don't think Patchwerk would have mattered. Probably wouldn't have mattered. Um
I would love to see I don't know if this is possible on a GM account, but I would love to see like um like you bring in Razuvious into Kel'Thuzad's room, and you just drop Razuvious there and have him fight
Kel'Thuzad with all the mechanics. I don't know if that's even possible. Might not be. Or like you bring in Patchwerk, and you something, you know, with all the mechanics. Like that would be really
>> As always, I really appreciate you guys watching and subscribing. Thank you so watching and subscribing. Thank you so much. Have a great day. >> That was a great video. Holy [music] crap.
uh like King of the Hill. So you have like that can beat him. And when you finally find a boss that can beat him, then he's bosses till you find a boss that beats him. You find like one of the strongest
bosses in the game. That'd be sick, too. Anyway, keep rushing it. These are some fantastic vids.
