Cindermaul, the Portal Master

Cindermaul, the Portal Master is a quest for level 30-35 in Mount Hyjal. It is step 36 of 118 in the Mount Hyjal storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Mount Hyjal at 26.3, 41.8. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

Twilight's Hammer is using these corridors, and others like them, to move supplies from the elemental planes up into Azeroth. In order to seal these passages off, we're going to need to know how they're constructed.

Find for me the Tome of Openings, used by the elementals to open gates between the planes.

Cindermaul the Portal Master should have one. You'll have to kill him. Careful! He's probably got some tricks up his sleeve...

Ok, after a dozen failed attempts at this here is what I discovered:

I was killing the wrong boss.

Foolishly I was killing the fire boss (Forgemaster Pyrendius) at the southern-most end of the cave, on the rock plateau surrounded with lava. CINDERMAUL is not this guy.

Cindermaul is to the left just as you are going down the ramp to the lava room where Forgemaster Pyrendius is.

Hopefully that helps save someone some headache lol.
