Quest Log

Blackout (Alliance)

Blackout is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-30 in Grizzly Hills. It is step 47 of 115 in the Grizzly Hills storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Grizzly Hills at 77.1, 48.6. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

The large hall at the top of Dun Argol houses the power source for the entire area. If you can destroy the power core, it will cripple Dun Argol for some time.

No power means no golems, no sentries, and no more lightning armaments.

When we were sent up here, they told us these explosives were for excavation, but thanks to Iron Thane Furyhammer, the research has been scrapped. We may as well get some use out of them, though. They're the only thing we have on hand capable of destroying the power core.

Okay, I thought I would add a comprehensive post for this group of quests for everyone:


  2. Do the following 3 quests together:

    Started by finishing: Cultivating an Image

    Started by finishing: ... Or Maybe We Don't

    Also started by finishing: ... Or Maybe We Don't

  4. Once inside Dun Argol, put on the disguise and head over to the building at 81,60 and complete the "Put on Your Best Face for Loken" quest

  6. Once you are done with that, do NOT remove your disguise or turn in the quest and head over to the building at 76,63 and go to the lower level.

  8. Bomb the power core and this completes the "Blackout" quest.

  10. While your are still in the building on the lower level and exercising some care to not be in aggro range, remove your disguise and activate your War Golem.

  12. EMP Anvil and attack Iron Thane Furyhammer. Anvil will be disabled for only so long so you'll probably have to EMP him again. Once Iron Thane is dead, this completes the "The Iron Thane and His Anvil" quest. After I killed Iron Thane, I destroyed Anvil too so I could loot them both.

  14. At this point I jumped out of the War Golem, put my disguise back on and walked out of Dun Argol.


I hope this is helpful.
