Quest
Breaking Down Barriers
A World of Warcraft quest in Maldraxxus. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Apparently demon hunters can just blast through the barrier and turn off the taps -- this will bug the quest. Just abandon the quest and pick it up again, and do it the right way. This is from what a demon hunter just experienced, and he was trying to work out how to complete the quest.
Dismount.

What to do
Description
As I suspected, Stitchflesh's assistants are carrying on his work. Whatever they're building, we need to destroy it. They've secured the chamber with a soul barrier and several bile spewers. We must find a way through! Thales said he may have a suggestion.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Deadly Distraction
Vyraz's assault on the House of Constructs may have failed, but we can still make them bleed now that we're inside. Slaughter as many as you can. I will hunt down the masterminds behind these new production efforts.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Two of Them, Two of Us
A construct made entirely of kyrian flesh... This betrays everything Maldraxxus stands for! We are meant to defend the Shadowlands and all within it, not slaughter and exploit them! Come, <name>! We end this now!
