Description

Alright, we need something that's going to make the compound go, "Boom"!

I'm all out of gun powder, but I think I know what we can use instead... the heart of my fire elemental!

Here, take my fire totem east to the Blood Trail. Just flip the switch on it near any of the lava pools over there and Magmatooth should be summoned. Bring back his heart and we'll be in business.

I stood inside one of the lava pits and was able to summon him and kill him on the first try as an 84 Fire Mage after questing in Hyjal and Uldum without using mirror images.

The things he said were funny

Magmatooth yells: Deepholm? I hate this place. Wait... you're not Initiate Goldmine!

Magmatooth yells: I know what you're after. I can sense it!

Magmatooth yells: This is not in my contract! Die, <race>!

Magmatooth yells: NOOOOOO! You tell Goldmine he's a dead goblin! Our contract is over!

I'm not 100% on this but it seems as if they are making fun of Warlocks minions :)

Happy Questing

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Explosive Bonding CompoundDeepholm · Level 30-35

    This guy's the son of the Earthen leader! He almost made it to the temple when he got ambushed by more rock flayers than I can count! We know that the Earthen Stonefather has the middle fragment of the World Pillar. Maybe if we were to heal his son, the Stonefather would give us the fragment?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Apply and Flash DryDeepholm · Level 30-35

    Alright, take this and apply it to his wounds. If the cauterizing effect of the flash dry explosion doesn't crack him wide open, it should completely heal him. I think.
