Description

Our only hope is to find the Thunder King's remains before they do. He must be buried within the Tomb of Conquerors.

Getting to his remains will not be easy, <name>. The tomb will no doubt be defended by guardians and other unfriendly surprises intended to ward off thieves.

Once inside we will need to figure out where his remains have actually been placed.

If you're having trouble finding the Tomb you need, from the location of the last quest, simply follow the path north. The path will turn sharply downhill and curve right until you come to an entrance southwest into the mountain.

Inside the Tomb of Elements is great fun. It's full of booby traps in certain areas, pay attention to the paving stones that you walk on, the ones which have images on them of elements (Air, Fire and Lightning)

The fire paving stone will go on fire, causing damage to you.
The air paving stone will knock you back giving you some slight damage.
The lightning paving stone will crackle with electricity.
There is also one other to look out for, which has 3 arrows on it. If you step on that one the sidewalls shoot fire out of them.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Breaking the Emperor's ShieldKun-Lai Summit · Level 20-35

    The Mogu have been scattered and sparse in number for many years. Their purpose in the valley makes sense now. With this many restless spirits they can build themselves an army using the guardians buried in each tomb. Combined with the Zandalari forces this would be devastating!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lessons from HistoryKun-Lai Summit · Level 20-35

    The Thunder King was a vicious Emperor and with the Zandalari at his side he was unstoppable. His return would surely return this land to turmoil and misery. You must locate his remains and take them somewhere safe. The Tablet of Thunder should help you figure out how to access his tomb.
