Description

I am glad we are making progress but... I cannot shake a sense of foreboding of what awaits us inside. As Sarkareth learns about Neltharion, his intentions seem to get ever darker...

I can only imagine what he is telling his people now--about me and about the other dracthyr. He will fracture our people forever.

Talk to Rannan and see how much longer we have to wait. We can't waste more time.

If you at any point go do something else during the mandatory wait you will bug out the quest so you have to abandon it and wait some more.

This isn't the only quest that bugs out if you walk away from the boring dialog. Please stop making quests that make you wait for no reason.

December 2023 reference for Open That Door! being stuck:

First I dropped the quest, left the area, reloaded UI and it didnt fix it.

Complete the nearby quest marked as "Objectives" Monument Maintenance - which requires you to get two pieces of a crumbling statue for repairing the middle statue. There is a piece located both on the north and south stone ramps going up to the vault door. These pieces you have to carry by hand and cannot use a flying, ground, or dragonriding mount.

Monument Maintenance ITEMS:
/way 58.63, 72.48 Arm and Weapon
/way 62.72, 72.43 Head
/way 62.35, 69.47 Orb

Complete the nearby quest marked as "World Quests" Data Gathering - this quest requires you to use a scanning beam which shows up as a special item similar to other quest use items on the bottom middle of your screen. You have to scan the nearby yellow/passive creatures. You may have to fly around a bit to find them, you cannot scan the same one twice. These seem to have a 1/5 chance of becoming aggressive when you scan.

After you complete these, the quest should continue but you may need to drop the quest and restart it or reload UI.

Side note:
This may be a bit late but for anyone playing catchup, as of December 2023:

This quest was stuck for me, Rannan wouldnt move and the quest wouldnt continue. A previous comment mentioned some of this info but I want to be more specific.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Charging UpZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    Emberthal wanted this guy Sarkareth dealt with yesterday. I understand! I hate waiting too! This door is frustratingly hard to crack... But! I have a plan because I always have a plan! My recipe for success is being one step ahead of everyone else. It's worked for me so far! Sorta.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sundered FlamesZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    Did Neltharion keep this place as his hoard? No wonder that Sarkareth was looking for it. Neltharion's "treasures" litter every corner of it. There's no telling what Sarkareth has gotten his claws on here. Stay close!
