Description

I hate to send you back in there, but based on your description of what's going on, we can't let them use all of those explosives they have stored up! It's too dangerous for you to try to destroy them yourself, but if you were to steal one of their shredders, I'm sure they're tough enough to withstand the explosions. After you've destroyed their explosives, return here with the shredder. There's no sense in letting them have it back.

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.

  • Destroy the LegionAshenvale · Level 7-30

    I will not tolerate their existence on this world! The Burning Legion all but destroyed our race and we fell back to settle a new home on a new world. Then they came again and we retreated, over and over. No more!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Closure is Only NaturalAshenvale · Level 7-30

    Through the ground I can feel more demons being brought into our world. Soon there will be too many and we will be overrun without hope of turning them back. Take this piece of me and return to Demon Fall Canyon and Demon Fall Ridge, south of Felfire Hill.
