Unused Audio

This is a sub-page of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos.

Abomination#

The Abomination has an alternative unused death sound. This seems to be tied to a cut ability of his that let him explode, dealing damage. He also an unused exploding animation.

Ancestral Guardian#

All related soundfiles to the cut Ancestral Guardian were left unused in the final game. These were later reused for the Serpent Ward in the Expansion Pack.

Barkskin#

The sound effect for the cut Druid of the Claw spell.

Berserker#

Sound effects for the cut Berserker Rage spell. One of these were reused for the Berserker ability in the Expansion Pack.

Campaign#

Human Mission Two#

One unused voiceline, informing the player of the peasants' ability to take arms.

Human Mission Four#

Jaina was planned to die at the hand of ghouls in this mission and later turn into a banshee. It was scrapped as Arthas had more than enough reasons to go after Mal'Ganis. The banshee idea was later given to Sylvanas. The Official Strategy Guide wasn't changed to reflect the new storyline.
All of these are said by Arthas.

Human Mission Six#

Several unused voicelines of villagers panicking and begging for Mercy were removed from the mission due to the disturbing delivery of these lines.

Human Mission Seven#

One unused voiceline of Arthas.

Human Mission Nine#

One unused voiceline of Arthas.

Flaming Arrow#

For the cut Flaming Arrow spell. Would've been used by the scrapped Elven Ranger Hero.

Racial Revive Sounds#

Every race were planned to have their own unique sound for reviving their Heroes. In the final game, all races uses the Human revive sound.

Mortar Team#

Sound effect for Self-Destruct, the Mortar Team's original ability. It's a suicide attack similar to the Demolition Squad's from Warcraft II. The Flare ability on the other hand was for the Rifleman.

Tichondrius#

Tichondrius has a unique voice set. Despite the prominent role he plays in the story (appearing in all but one campaign), he's never available for the player to control. This is unusually strange, because characters you're never meant to control barely have any voice lines outside of the story. Perhaps at one point during development, you were meant to get your hands on this cunning Dreadlord.

	Dreadlords (slight pause) do it in the dark.
	I get cranky when I haven't been fed.
	I must feast on souls!	Used in Chapter Two of the Undead Campaign.
	The Legion needs (slight pause) a better dental plan. These fangs are killing me!
	Darkness (slight pause) needs to get DSL. His line is always busy.	Part of a running in-game joke that refers to Darkness as an individual.

Slave Master#

The Slave Master (named Mathog in the World Editor) fought exclusively in the first Human chapter has a unique voice set not heard anywhere, since he's never available for you to control. Much like his model, his voice set is taken from the cut Warlord hero.
