Description

The domanaar Impotus sounds like he can be persuaded to set his sights elsewhere. Speaking with them directly will be challenging. They are distrustful, even of one another, as you can see from their projection devices. We must set a trap. Take this soul gem and hunt the beings that inhabit the Acropolis. We will use the Void energy of this place against them.

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.

  • A New ApproachLevel 80-90

    For this threat, you'll need to think more like the domanaar. Luckily, I can do just that. What we need is a puppet. Someone we can give the reins who has no aspirations for your precious Azeroth. Those new domanaar you saw will need evaluation. Take this veil.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Place to NegotiateLevel 80-90

    While you were attuning the gem to the Void, I managed to acquire one of Impotus's projection devices. We're going to use it to lure him to us, then prevent him from escaping with the gem. Not here, though. Let us find somewhere more discrete.

The storyline at a glance

Considering an Alternative has 4 steps, from A New Approach to A Shot at the Dark.
