Might want to get a friend to help with this one, it is soloable, but once you get down inside the cave the respawns tend to get a litle nasty. It's fairly crowded in there too so the locks and imps wreak havoc. I find it easier to kill the imp first since it has little HP and outputs quite a bit of damage. Find a nice AOE mage and you're good =p

Description

<Zagran listens to you recount the events at Legion Hold, nodding.> That fills in the gaps we've seen. We've caught glimpses of them launching infernals in the direction of the hold, but haven't been able to find much more than that. The Shadow Council has the forge pretty much locked down. Looks like you're going to need to fight your way in. Start eliminating the Shadow Council guarding the entrance to the Deathforge!

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.

  • The DeathforgeShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    While you were taking care of the infernals at Legion Hold, I've been going over your reports. We've got no reason to believe the Legion lied about what's going on at the Deathforge. They're really cranking out infernals down there, so I've dispatched a scouting party to keep watch over it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Fate of KagroshShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    The scouting party originally had three members. Unfortunately, Kagrosh decided he wanted to be a hero. He descended into the Deathforge and we haven't heard from him since. In all likelihood, the fool's gone and gotten himself killed.
