At last, our target is within reach.

The necropolis rests above us, moored to this platform by a necrotic restraining bolt.

Victory will soon be ours.

I had this quest in my quest log and didn't seem to have a way up to the necropolis.

It's safe to abandon the quest, and then you can re pick it up. (Pin will drop on the map when you abandon)

When you get to the location of the pin, there will be an elite there.

Run through it (unless you want to fight it) and pick up the quest, and immediately to the right will be a guy to click on to take you up. (even if you have agro)

Best of luck Necrolord!

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.

  • Crush 'Em AllMaldraxxus · Level 60

    The mooring platform will be our best launching point to access the necropolis above. But one more fight remains before us. Enforcer Borgulla oversees all of the work efforts that take place here. We'll need to eliminate her if we are to proceed unhindered. She is a formidable foe.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • This Way OutMaldraxxus · Level 60

    We are fully prepared to launch the necropolis. We must hurry before Margrave Gharmal tries to interfere. Speak with Vyn when you are prepared, but we mustn't waste time. We will cast our shadow upon all of Maldraxxus.
