Rescue Mission |
The demon has told us how to open a portal to the world where he says Alleria is being held. You and I can go through and see if there is any truth to his claims.
In case it's a trap, Magus Solgaze has given me a portal stone to get us back to Dalaran. This demonic magic is anathema to the mage, so we must move quickly. I'm ready when you are, <Name>. Quest Objectives Travel through the portal and rescue Alleria Windrunner. |
You'll want plenty of time to do this quest and scenario. If you're in a time crunch, it might be a good idea to come back to it when you have a little bit of time. This is not a scenario you can drop and pick back up. Talk to Vereesa to open the portal and start the quest. She'll ask, "Are you ready to begin?" You respond, "Let's get underway."
|
After telling her you're ready, Vereesa will say, "Magus Solgaze, empower the portal crystal."
|
The mage will respond, "At once, Ranger-General. But beware! Time flows unpredictably so deep in the Nether."
|
Magues Solgaze will say, "This fel magic eats at my soul! I can't hold the portal open long. Get going!"
Orestes at this point will rush through the portal before you can stop him, saying, "Never was very good at following orders. See you on the other side!" |
Walk through the portal and meet Vereesa on the other side. After you load in, Vereesa will say, "No sign of Orestes. He's headstrong, but should have the sense to wait here for us!"
|
"Let's ascend the rise ahead and see what we're up against."
|
Follow Vereesa through stage 2. This is a gauntlet, and you'll need to be careful where you stop to kill things. Once you reach the next point, Herald Xarbizuld will say, "You survived the summoners... such determination! A pity you won't live to experience our glorious cathedral!"
|
Keep following through the path, killing demons on your way. You should encounter Orestes who has been seriously injured. Once you see him, Vereesa will yell, "There, up ahead! It's Orestes!" When you get to him, he will say, "Beware... the hound mistress..."
|
This will trigger stage 4, and you will need to defeat the Hound Mistress. The Hound Mistress Torvis will come into view and say, "How convenient! Your little group will make an excellent meal for my hounds!"
|
Vereesa will say, "Witch! I'll gut your beasts and take your head for what you've done!"
|
Defeat the Hound Mistress. She's pretty tough if you're just coming out of Draenor. As you can see, I died once, however the bosses in the scenario will keep their health even if you die.
|
After the Hound Mistress has been defeated, Vereesa will say to Orestes, "We'll get you out of here, Orestes. Any sign of Alleria?"
|
He will respond, "No, but... didn't make it to cathedral. Wounds bad... it's so cold..."
|
Vereesa will say, "Orestes, try to... Orestes!"
|
Orestes will say, "Good luck, friends. Save... Alleria..." and then he will die.
Vereesa will say, "Rest in the Light, Orestes." |
Orestes' death will trigger Stage 5: Quiet the Herald. Herald Xarbizuld will yell, "You believe yourselves worthy to enter the cathedral? Then come forth and be tested!"
|
Vereesa will run forward saying, "Come. Let's find Alleria and finish this."
|
At the trigger, Herald Xarbizuld will yell, "You believe yourselves worthy to enter the cathedral? then come forth and be tested!"
|
As Vereesa head on down the path, she will say, "Come. Let's find Alleria and finish this."
|
Next you will encounter Herald Xarbizuld.
|
He will yell as you approach, "You stand on the threshold of oblivion! Your lives belong to t he Inquisition!"
|
Vereesa will say, "I'm going to relish silencing that fiend!"
|
Xarbizuld is pretty tough too, but if you do it right, you should be able to make it without dying. After you've killed him, you will enter Stage 6: End the Inquisition. High Inquisitor Qormaladon will say, "You mortals have endured so much to rescue your precious Alleria. Come forth and reap your reward!"
|
Next you've got to fight your way up to the High Inquisitor Qormalodon. There's a bunch of eyes between you and him. Be careful to take them out in small groups and not all at once. They have an eye beam that is deadly.
As you continue towards him, the High Inquisitor will say, "The Inquisition sees all! Every truth! Every lie!" |
As you get closer, Vereesa will say, "If Alleria is here, she must be close! Up ahead... that looks like the interrogation area."
|
Vereesa will yell at the Inquisitor, "What have you done with Alleria, monster?"
|
The inquisitor will say, "Another Windrunner for my collection! Oh, the secrets you will confess to me!" He will then trap Vereesa in a ball of fel. She will yell, "No!"
|
The High Inquisitor will then come into the interrogation area. All you have to do is defeat him to advance the scenario. Vereesa will say, "Forget about me! Save Alleria!"
|
The Inquisitor will say, "This Vereesa should prove useful... until she breaks. You, however... well, every mortal life must end."
|
Vereesa will yell, "He's tearing into my mind!"
|
Defeat the inquisitor and his eyes to save Vereesa. She will say, "I felt those eyes peering into my soul. Had you not freed me..."
|
"Enough! I must know if Alleria was truly held captive here, or if this was all a ruse to trap us!"
|
Follow Vereesa towards the cathedral. She will stop and say, "Was she here for days? Years? Centuries? The mage was right... time has little meaning in this place."
|
Once you get to the entrance of the cathedral, you should be able to see a bow floating in fel in the doorway. Vereesa will say, "By the Light... There! It's her bow! Thas'dorah!"
|
Run into the cathedral and wait until you can take Thas'dorah. Vereesa will say, "Alleria was here... her bow's presence is the proof! Doubtless she escaped, and the Inquisitor sought to use me to lure her back."
|
Vereesa will say, "Thas'dorah began as my family's legacy... but now this weapon has a greater purpose."
|
"This is a bow worthy of a hero like Alleria... a hero like you. Take Thas'dorah, <Name>. Use it to lead the fight to save Azeroth!"
|
You will now be in the final stage of the scenario. Go ahead and pick up Thas'dorah.
|
After picking up the bow, Vereesa will say, "I know Alleria's bow is in the right hands."
|
Gorelix the Fleshripper will then say, "Find the invaders! Retake the cathedral! Slaughter them all!"
|
Vereesa will say, "Sounds like we're about to be overrun. Let us leave this wretched place to the demons."
|
Rescue Mission |
Talk to Vereesa to port back to Dalaran. She will say, "You fought well this day, <Name>. I am in your debt.
I'm ready to use the portal stone and take us back to Dalaran." You say, "Let's get out of here!" |
We didn't recover Alleria, but at least we have proof she was there. She will be found... I know it!
Thas'dorah has long been symbolic of the Windrunner family, but until Alleria's return, it belongs in your hands. Use it to rally the greatest hunters of Azeroth and drive the Burning Legion back to the abyss! |
