What to do

StorylineMount Hyjal, step 44 of 118

Description

We will decimate the Twilight's Hammer by corrupting and subverting them. Seeing that you have no intention of releasing me from my bonds, I require you to collect some reagents for me. My own demonic essence has corrupted the plant life around my shrine here. I need you to harvest some bileberries from the wailing weeds that surround this tower. My little pets will attempt to harvest YOU in return. Try not to let them agitate one another.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • If You're Not Against Us...Mount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    South of here you'll find a solitary tower, known as "Blackhorn's Penance." Upon it is bound a demon: Tyrus Blackhorn. You may think me mad for turning to an old foe for help, but Blackhorn was once a mortal, and I can't imagine he wants to watch Twilight's Hammer triumph.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A New MasterMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    The potion you created is vile enough to wake the dead. Which is its intended purpose. Slay a Twilight Inferno Lord and force the brew down his throat. He will revive, if only briefly, and be completely under your dominance.
