Blizzard's WoW: Forever Journey ends in Sweden: the dungeons and zone they name

2026-11-07 · ForeverDB

The final episode of Blizzard's WoW: Forever Journey takes Guzu, Valter Skarsgård and AnnieFuchsia to Sweden for a fishing stunt, a surströmming quiz and a Shadowfang Keep run. We check the dungeon, Sunken Temple and the new Riverglades zone against our client data, and cover the three spell names the captions catch along the way.

This is Blizzard's official video on the World of Warcraft YouTube channel. The dungeon, zone, ability and talent names and numbers here come from the WoW Forever client (build 1.60.1.70862). Classic Era numbers are shown only as the "before" side.

The last episode of the WoW: Forever Journey is a travel video, not a patch note. Guzu, Valter Skarsgård and AnnieFuchsia sit in a gaming truck in Sweden, follow two filmed "quests" (first fishing, then a trip to a castle), take a surströmming quiz, and finish on a Shadowfang Keep run on stream. Along the way they name real dungeons and a zone, so we checked each one against our data.

The short version

• The castle they run is Shadowfang Keep. Guzu reads it off the dungeon map, naming the courtyard, the stables, Baron Silverlaine and the ring, and Archmage Arugal. All of that is in our dungeon data.
• Valter keeps bringing up Sunken Temple, the dungeon where he fell in a hole and died. His character was later placed below that hole in Season of Discovery, a separate game mode.
• They drive through Riverglades to go fishing. Riverglades is a zone that is new in Forever.
• Faction banter runs the whole video, and the client really does have the "Wrong Faction" error Valter jokes about when someone cheers for the Horde at Worgen.
• The captions also catch three real spell names in passing (Bite, Setup, Heal). We list what the client has for each, plus everything the video skips for Hunter, Rogue, Priest and Warlock.

Claim by claim

Dungeon, zone, faction and item rows checked against our world data; the three spell rows are words the captions happen to land on.

Shadowfang Keep, Sunken Temple and Riverglades

The castle in the final "quest" is a stand-in for a real dungeon. On stream Guzu points at the map and names it.

This is the courtyard of Shadowfang Keep. Blizzard, WoW: Forever Journey EP.3 | Sweden (ft. Guzu, Valter Skarsgård & AnnieFuchsia) (18:09)

He is right. Shadowfang Keep is in our data with the layout he describes: the courtyard, the stables where the horses are, Baron Silverlaine and the ring, the bat boss, and Archmage Arugal as the rare up top. The client's own floor name for that first room is "The Courtyard", and the area is the "Stables".

This is where you kill Baron Silverlaine. You get the ring. Blizzard, WoW: Forever Journey EP.3 | Sweden (ft. Guzu, Valter Skarsgård & AnnieFuchsia) (18:20)

Valter cannot stop bringing up the hole.

So this is the dungeon called Sunken Temple. Blizzard, WoW: Forever Journey EP.3 | Sweden (ft. Guzu, Valter Skarsgård & AnnieFuchsia) (1:58)

That dungeon is Sunken Temple in our data. The part he is proud of is the cameo.

If you go into Season of Discovery, go into Sunken Temple and then go down below that hole, you will see my character there. Blizzard, WoW: Forever Journey EP.3 | Sweden (ft. Guzu, Valter Skarsgård & AnnieFuchsia) (15:38)

That is a Season of Discovery thing, a separate game mode, so the Forever client does not carry it. The dungeon itself is here.

Before the castle, they drive to fish.

We're in Riverglades now. Blizzard, WoW: Forever Journey EP.3 | Sweden (ft. Guzu, Valter Skarsgård & AnnieFuchsia) (8:21)

Riverglades is on the map, and it is new in Forever. The fishing "quest", with its parchment and reward, is a filmed stunt, not a quest the client knows about.

The faction jokes run from start to finish, and one of them is a real client error.

Worgens are Alliance. Wrong faction. Blizzard, WoW: Forever Journey EP.3 | Sweden (ft. Guzu, Valter Skarsgård & AnnieFuchsia) (18:38)

Alliance and Horde are both in our data, and the client has the "Wrong Faction" message he is joking about. The Horde Flag in the truck is a real item too.

The classes they name in passing

Nobody in the video sits down to talk about abilities, but the captions land on three real spell names. Here is what the client has for each.

• Bite Bite is a Hunter pet ability. Pets learn it from level 1, and it goes up to Rank 8 at level 56, with a 100 yd range. In the video "a little bite" is the surströmming, not the pet.
• Setup Setup is a Subtlety Rogue talent. It adds a combo point after you dodge an attack or fully resist a spell, with a 15%, 30% or 45% chance across its three ranks. In Forever it sits in Subtlety tier 1 (level 10); in Classic Era it was tier 4.
• Heal Heal is a Priest spell learned from the trainer at level 16. In Forever it heals for less than Classic Era: rank 4 heals 611 to 691 instead of 712 to 804, though it carries more of your spell power (0.857 of it at rank 1, up from 0.729).

What we have, and what we don't

Our data backs up the places they name, but the stunts around them are not in the game.

• We have Shadowfang Keep with its bosses, including Baron Silverlaine and Archmage Arugal, the "The Courtyard" floor and the "Stables" area; Sunken Temple with its bosses; Riverglades on the map, flagged new in Forever; the Alliance and Horde factions; and the Horde Flag item.
• We do not have the filmed quests. "A Matter of Patience" (fishing) and "Into the Shadows" (the castle) are props, so there are no catch tables or quest rewards for them in the client.
• The Sunken Temple hole cameo belongs to Season of Discovery, a different game mode, so the Forever client has no record of it.
• Launch timing, such as the parchment's promise that the gates open, is a schedule the client does not carry. Our Riverglades detail is still thin, so there is little for players to test there yet.
