Blizzard Entertainment has developed numerous very different video games throughout its history. For a long time all of them have corresponded to some of their most emblematic franchises, but during the 90s they surprised us with a fantastic title called The Lost Vikings, a puzzle and platform adventure with a touch of action that was originally published on Super Nintendo and from there made the leap to other consoles.
In this comic game the protagonists are a trio of Vikings who are kidnapped and they must travel throughout different dimensions in order to return home. Well, it is seen that during their journey they got lost in the world of Azeroth, since it is possible to meet them in World of Warcraft thanks to a brilliant tribute that was paid to them in the popular MMORPG.
All those who come to Uldaman will have the opportunity to see these curious versions of these three Vikings who For the occasion they were transformed into Dwarves. You could say that it is the best choice considering that in the game they come from they are characterized by their tiny size to give them an even funnier touch.
However, another detail that makes this tribute to The Lost Vikings is that in reality the group are final bosses that are part of this dungeon. Of course, given their good nature and the fact that they are Dwarves, the most striking thing about this matter is that the Alliance cannot fight against them because they are considered allied characters. Instead, They will not hesitate for a moment to crush those who are from the Horde.
This means that They are final bosses exclusive to this factionhence the Orcs, Trolls, Taurens, etc., are the only ones who can face Eric “The Swift”, Baelog and Olaf (Erik, Baleog and Olaf in the original game). At least, the encounter is worth it, because in exchange you can receive some of the most emblematic items based on the characteristics of each one.
For example, in The Lost VikingsErik stands out for his speed and his helmet with which he can take on everything in front of him, hence why he can drop the Viking Helmet with Horns and the Worn Racing Boots. Baleog is dedicated to fighting with a sword and a bow, so the items he can deliver are the Baelog Short Bow and the Nordic Long Corvo Sword. For his part, Olaf only carries a shield to protect his companions, hence he drops the battered Viking Shield and Olaf’s Multipurpose Shield.
