The Un'Goro Volcano has Erupted!
Earlier today, reddit user /u/abouttogetdownvoted was messing around on the Un'Goro gameboard to see if he could make the volcano erupt, and it turns out, it does! Wait a second, how did we get here? Let's take a look back.
Mike Donais Knows a Secret
Last week, Mike Donais responded to a complaint on reddit about the new gameboard being "disappointing" with its visual effects unlike boards of previous expansions. He let out a hint that we were indeed missing something, and it was related to sound.
Luckily, the game board makes plenty of sounds.
Quote from Mike DonaisAs far as the new Un'goro board goes, I am a little disappointed.
I mean, conceptually and thematically, it looks bonkers amazing but, as far as the clickable objects go, I didn't really find anything that would stand out visually, like the Laser uuh... Rocket from GvG.
I don't think even the Volcano does anything spectacular besides just showing more lava where you click. BRM's lava at least had some cool items emerging from below the surface and such.
Did I miss something or did they just not include anything visually pop-eye in this board?
You missed the volcano going off secret.
We will literally never know
The sound team added it so you have to understand a bit about music to find it.
Spamming of the Board
Now we're going back to /u/abouttogetdownvoted's findings. He bound keys to mouse clicks over different areas of the gameboard which allowed him to spam the different musical notes present on the board to see if he could figure out the correct combination.

It worked! After some repetition and key smashing, the secret was unlocked.
The Combination
Try it yourself! Head on to the Un'Goro board and push the buttons in the following order:
- (D) Drum
- (G) Big Leaf
- (E) Shell
- (G) Big Leaf
- (A) Medium Leaf

Posted Apr 13, 2017 (Un'Goro Launch)I'm not sure if I've even seen the board yet. Play mostly on mobile so perhaps I just overlooked it.

Posted Apr 13, 2017 (Un'Goro Launch)Are there any other big secrets besides the rocket launch and the volcano? I can't shake the feeling that if I get the beam from the crystal just right, and then do something else while the other one is glowing, I should be able to see... something!
Does anyone else have cool interactions to report?

Posted Apr 13, 2017 (Un'Goro Launch)Continuing my efforts for the "Happy Birthday" egg hatching on Blackrock Mountain. Always wondered if playing the opening of Happy Birthday on the bones plus a specific egg hatching combination and concluding the sequence with playing the final notes of Happy Birthday (which is also possible on the bones) would get an Onyxia/Nefarian flyby or something, but to no avail... =\
Looking to deep perhaps? Mayhaps! I'm usually getting roped anyway, let me have this!

Posted Apr 13, 2017 (Un'Goro Launch)Maybe because u missed some cool things?
Did you try to click the rose flower on the bottom left? If you click enough they just fly away. This is something to break, and there is plenty more if you look better :)
