If you're having problems finding where to teleport to.

Once you are inside the temple go to your right, there is a table with a white teleport.

Once you're up, go up the ramp to where the 2 mobs are guarding, kill them or not. But don't go higher, turn immediately in either direction and run up the short ramp. You're there.

The 2 portals are stacked on top of each other.

For people with only quest greens, you should definitely not try to solo it. Even duo'ing it won't be easy, depending on your class mix. Without a healer, it will be a tough fight for sure.

!Watch out! for this spell: Soul Deflection. Turn auto-attack off / interrupt your spellcasting as soon as he casts this and don't do any damage to him while he channels it. It's easy to spot this spell, he shoots a pink beam at everyone.

Tips


  • Let Thassarian tank at the start (read: do nothing until Valanar finishes channeling his first Soul Deflection)

  • If you run low on HP, run away from him, jump under the platform and keep running, play with LoS to avoid his shadowbolts, until he gives up on you
  • Bring a healer, it's just so much easier with one ^^

can`t stress enough on the post above :) when you step thru the portal you are in a circular room naxx-alike with some elites and mobs here and there BUT they are NOT the objective of this quest. directly above the GREEN portal you come in from is a WHITE portal which is the way to the top where you get to fight Valanar!

What to do

StorylineBorean Tundra, step 152 of 182
RewardsBorean Smasher, Axe of Frozen Death, Staff of the Purposeful Mendicant, 31g 50s, 6,200 XP

Description

I served Arthas in death, because I had no choice. He had control over my will and my body. The Cult of the Damned serves Arthas in life... willingly. Now that we know the words of power to enter Naxxanar we can put an end to the cultist blight. Go to En'kilah and look for the teleportation orb beneath the floating citadel. Work your way up and meet me at the top. Arm yourself with what courage you can, we might not make it out of this alive.
