Yogg-Saron - Brain's Room (Heavy Spoiler) For the first and last time in the history of MMO-Champion, you will see me using [spoiler] tags in a news post. If you listened to the sound files included in the last PTR patch, you probably noticed that most of the sounds used during the fight against Yogg-Saron are here. Some of these files are named "YSVisOne" "YSVisTwo" "YSVisThree" and seems to be related to something I didn't news yet, the Yogg-Saron Brain's room. You will most likely be teleported to this room during the fight and will witness past events of the Warcraft lore ... Needless to say that you shouldn't check the video or read the text below if you're scared of spoilers. <div align="center"><object width="560" height="370"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y0UiVKFx-GI }.spoiler:hover { color: inherit; }.spoiler:hover a { color:#605A00; }div.spoiler {border-left: 2px dotted red; padding-left: 5px;}</style><script src="http://www.wowhead.com/widgets/power.js"></script><div class="spoiler">Vision One Garona (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Garona_Halforcen">WoWWiki</a>) UR_Garona_YSVisOne01.wav - Bad news, sire.
