Forcing Fate's Hand is a Horde-only quest for level 20-60 in Nazmir. It is step 9 of 15 in the Go East, Old Tortollan storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Nazmir at 58.5, 13.8. It rewards 1 reward item, 2 reputation rewards, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

I got some good news and bad news for you about this whole quest to destroy the herald of G'huun. Bad news first.

There's an entire army of skeletons between us and the next area. I'm guessing they used Torga's blood to animate them.

Good news is that scroll you recovered from Holbruk can summon the powerful Hand of Fate.

...and the bad news is that the scroll got damaged when Holbruk died and is only good for one more use.

Meh. Take this scroll and destroy that skeleton army!

As of today, i finally completed this achievement after many many years.
I want to help to everyone, here's how i've done it:

Used my alt, a Lvl 80 paladin, started the quest chain Journey to Nazmir, till the Forcing Fate's Hand (about 25 min questing).

Useful tips:
-yes, you still need to do it in 20 sec, as the achievement says,
-always track the achievement,
- follow this route in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9C4MVqm1BM (thanks and appreciate to Bue, who uploaded it in 2018).
-you can solo this, just need perfect timing and pulling (if there are not enough undead, just wait a few min)
-if you fail, abandon the quest, and very important: RELOAD (use /reload), get the quest again. With the reload, the achievement you tracked will become white again,
-mount up, gather the mobs using the route in the video--> Use your scroll, hit 2--> go and gather more.

My battletag is Joe#24731 if you need a helping hand to complete this achievement.
Good luck to everyone! :)

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Negative BloodNazmir · Level 20-60

    Okay, you want to kill the herald of a blood god? We can figure something out. There's corrupted blood nearby that's feeding this monster's power. Lucky for you, I've heard stories of this sort of thing before. Take this scroll, but be careful with it!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Loa-Free DietNazmir · Level 20-60

    Princess Talanji thinks we're almost ready to kill this herald of G'huun. Maybe she's right, maybe we're all dead, who knows? What I do know is the blood trolls here are... are carving and carrying away parts of Torga. Ugh!
