StorylineInevitable Confrontation, step 7 of 10
Rewards28g 9s, 9,500 XP

Description

Since Sarkareth now wields the power of Aberrus's defenses, he has an army that will shield him from us. The next step for us will be to establish a stronghold inside the garrison. That way we can search it without interruption. Meet me there.

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.

  • Wipe Them OutZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    Do you know what I see when I gaze upon the Brimstone Garrison? Traitors. These soldiers believe themselves followers of the black dragonflight, yet they ignore us, the true heirs to Neltharion, and bend a knee to the specter of our malevolent father. This cannot be allowed to stand.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Finding SarkarethZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    Now that we have a foothold within the garrison, we can extend our search. We will hold off the forces of Aberrus here while you find Emberthal and aid her in reaching Sarkareth. We will join you as soon as we secure the front here.
