A quick note for shamans, and possibly druids aswell :

If you are shapeshifted (in my attempt, as a ghost wolf), you won't be able to place the totems. You must return to your normal form, place them, then continue as normal.

At a certain point in the fight Borgal will stun you and feed a piece of your soul to the Soulgrinder. This gives him access to one of your class abilities.

When I (a hunter) did this, he took Wing Clip - an ability that we haven't had since Cata.

Description

It is time for Borgal to die. We must travel to a location of power where I have room for the ritual. There is a ruined tower to the northwest that will be perfect for this. Meet us there and place the totems in the areas of power you will find there. Once they are placed I will do the ritual that will summon Borgal to us. Your job will be the difficult one, kill him!

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 Totems That BindLevel 40

    Before Borgal began to use the Soulgrinder, he used totems to bind spirits to his service. If we can get a few of those totems I may be able to use the spiritual connection he's forged with them to force a link. He'll be compelled to appear before us!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Shadow GateLevel 40

    Okay, we're gonna have to be quick. I've seen Borgal form magical portals before so he might try to use one to escape. If he does that our only option will be to follow after 'em. On top of that he always keeps his lieutenant Grubnor nearby so we may have a bit of a tussle in store.
