Description

We have our forces spread out throughout Nazmir, but we need to do something that will force Rastakhan into action. We must personally march into Zuldazar and take the Blood Gate. This will cause them to throw their full army at us. As you can see, we're the only ones left that can assault the Blood Gate. Shaw and Telaamon will stay behind to help the rest of the army move up. You and I will ride the battle beast into the Blood Gate and take it by force.

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.

  • Taming their BeastsLevel 50

    Our goal is to assault the Blood Gate, but to be blunt, we don't have the force necessary for this. That's why we have gnomish technology. The Zandalari have battle beasts, direhorns mounted with powerful weapons. Several of these beasts are resting within the Fallen Outpost.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • He Who Walks in the LightLevel 50

    Shaw reports that Zandalari scouts have been dispatched to alert of our "full assault". We did it, <name>. The Horde and Zandalari will throw their armies at our forces within Nazmir. We cannot let their sacrifice be in vain. We must get back to Boralus and let Halford know it's time to strike.
