And after failing 3 times in a row, including shooting first , then blowing horn, I realized you must do the other 2 quests first that you picked up at the same time. The drake skull and killing the twilight retainers/augers. quests #7 and #8 of whiterocks post of the questline. This is quest #9. Makes sense, I just always pick up all quests and kill randomly. Bad Drewedd.

What to do

StorylineMount Hyjal, step 117 of 118
RewardsTorque of the Herald, Gatekeeper Treads, 27g 48s, 6,000 XP

Description

According to these tomes, one of Ragnaros' most powerful lieutenants serves as the sole gatekeeper to Sulfuron Spire. You won't be able to defeat him alone. Sound this horn when you engage in combat with Azralon and any of our forces in the vicinity will come to your aid. You must hurry, {name}. It won't be long before the Firelord realizes what we're up to.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Secrets of the FlameMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    If we are to banish Ragnaros back into the Firelands, we will need to gain access to Sulfuron Spire. Only the most trusted members of the Twilight's Hammer will have been entrusted with such valuable information. Go search the Ascendant's Rise for any written tomes you might find.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The FirelordMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    With his gatekeeper gone, you've given the Guardians of Hyjal access to Sulfuron Spire. Ragnaros will have no choice but to defend the main entryway to the Firelands himself. Go through the Twilight's Hammer portal at the Sanctum of the Prophets and meet me inside.
