WoW's 11.1 Patch Seals Fate of Popular Character

World of Warcraft Patch 11.1: Undermined – A Goblin's Demise Sparks Revolution

Key Events:

• Renzik "The Shiv," a veteran Goblin Rogue, perishes in Patch 11.1.
• Gazlowe, spurred by Renzik's death, initiates a rebellion against Gallywix.
• Gallywix, the self-proclaimed Chrome King, faces his potential end as the final raid boss in "Liberation of Undermine."

The narrative arc of World of Warcraft's Patch 11.1, "Undermined," takes a dramatic turn with the unexpected demise of Renzik "The Shiv." This long-standing Goblin Rogue, a familiar face to players since the game's inception, falls victim to Gallywix's assassination attempt targeting Gazlowe. This pivotal moment, revealed during recent Public Test Realm (PTR) access, reshapes the storyline.

Players joining Gazlowe and Renzik in Undermine to secure the Dark Heart encounter a deadly twist. Gazlowe's aversion to Undermine's politics clashes with Renzik's belief in his potential to improve the city. An attack intended for Gazlowe tragically claims Renzik's life.

Renzik's Legacy:

While not a central WoW character, Renzik's death resonates deeply. He was an early quest giver and trainer, particularly memorable to Alliance Rogues. His death, however, serves as a catalyst, igniting Gazlowe's resolve to overthrow Gallywix. This leads to a full-scale revolution and the new raid, "Liberation of Undermine." Gallywix's attempt to eliminate Gazlowe inadvertently creates a martyr in Renzik.

Gallywix's Fate:

The final boss encounter with Gallywix in "Liberation of Undermine" remains shrouded in mystery until the patch's official launch. However, given the low survival rate of final raid bosses in WoW, Gallywix's chances of survival appear slim. The patch may witness the demise of another iconic Goblin figure.
