The Portal's Power |
This portal is fueled by powers neither mechanical nor arcane.
Look to either side of us, <Name>. The screaming souls of slain prisoners are being channeled into the heart of the portal itself. And they are channeling these souls through the body of Gul'dan. Find a way into the chamber beneath us, and do whatever it takes to get Gul'dan to stop his channeling. Our last hope rests on you, <Name>. Quest Objectives Enter the Soul Engine beneath the Dark Portal, then shut the Dark Portal down. |
As you leave Khadgar to go find the entrance, he will tell you, "Use whatever means are necessary, champion. Azeroth's final hope lies with you."
|
The mini-map points at the two purple smoke columns at either side of the portal platform, however this is not how you get into Gul'dan's chamber.
Many people have a hard time getting into the chamber. |
Go down the stairs and walk around the spires until you find an entrance. It won't be where you found Cho'gall and Teron'gor.
|
Once you walk in you will see this ugly orc floating gin the air above a pedestal. This enters you into a small cinematic (couldn't find it on YouTube) and introduce you to Gul'dan, the main bad-guy in this expansion.
|
Gul'dan's introduction.
|
Once the introduction is over, Gul'dan will say, "Sever my bonds... and the portal falls..." and advance the quest.
As you can see behind his portal, there is a stone with a gold outline. There are three other stones similar to this around the room, and you must click on them to disable them and set Gul'dan free. |
The stone to the left of where I came in had the Mark of the Burning Blade on it. Click on the stone to destroy the mark.
|
The stone behind Gul'dan has the Mark of the Shattered Hand.
|
There are some aggressive mobs in this room that you may have to kill in order to get around.
|
The last stone has the the Mark of the Blackrock. Destroy this to advance the quest.
Gul'dan will say with the destruction of the first two stones, "Yes... Yes! Grommash will pay for his arrogance." |
Once you destroy the third stone, Gul'dan will say, "The bonds weaken. Freedom will be mine!"
Now all that's left is to destroy the Stasis Rune directly underneath Gul'dan on the ground. |
The Portal's Power |
Destroying this will give you a short cinematic that shows the Dark Portal closing.
Gul'dan will say, "Do not delay, mortal. I can feel the life-essence of your armies fading. There will be time for regret later..." |
Gul'dan will then escape through a portal, saying, "We will meet again... <Name>."
|
Gul'dan... free. This was not the victory I'd planned for.
Gul'dan may be loose due to our actions, but I gladly bargain his freedom against the lives of the innocents on the other side of this portal. You made a wise decision, <Name>. |
