Be careful when you dismiss Arthas. You will appear back in the normal world wherever you dismiss him, and can easily aggro mobs that were in the area.

Here are the correct names: The "Death Bolt" Is called "Deathstorm." 10 second cooldown, 25,000 damage on 12 targets. 10 second cooldown. The "Cleave" is called "Soul Cleave." 3 targets in one swing, 12,000 damage, ~24,000 on a crit. No cooldown. EDIT: Thanks McCheez, it also returns 5% of your mana. The "Raise" is called "Call of the Lich King." Any corpses in the selected area disappear and ghouls emerge from the ground they were on. 4 second cooldown. The "Sacrifice" is called "Consume Minion." Kills the closest 5 ghouls and replenishes your mana. 12 second cooldown. Because there is a 4

Description

You probably think you're quite strong -- fighting these undead and crushing their bones beneath your war machines. That is nothing compared to the strength it took to create them. I saw the prince do it himself. I can show you how it happened... if you'd like.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Do Your WorstIcecrown · Level 25-30
You're going to use this machine against the Scourge? You're not going to win against them like that. You can destroy hundreds... even thousands of them. But you won't win. Not out here. When you're done playing with your machine, meet me to the north. There is an old army encampment.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

FutilityIcecrown · Level 25-30
Do you see now? Sending your men against the prince's armies just swells their numbers. I don't expect you to understand... you'll probably just end up like the others. You'd best return to whoever sent you. They might be worried.
