StorylineHellfire Peninsula, step 73 of 103
Rewards4,100 XP

Description

We're dangerously close to becoming fenced in by Alliance forces. With the influx of sin'dorei pilgrims from Azeroth, we must establish a route that's safe from our enemies' prying eyes. I've given it some thought and have arrived at a solution. We're to establish a secret path through the Great Fissure. Yes, even though the area is crawling with brutal rock flayers, they are merely beasts and can be taught to fear us. I want you to go and kill a good number of them. They shall learn fear.

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.

  • Beneath ThrallmarHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    I'm almost back in business. Problem is all these gan'arg are in my mine. I can't send my peons in and even once I fix this shredder I wouldn't want to risk it in combat. Deep down in the mine the gan'arg have a leader. If you kill him maybe the gan'arg will leave.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Marking the PathHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    With the rock flayer population thinned, all that's left is to signal the safe path to our pilgrims. Return to the Great Fissure with this torch and seek the three beacons that mark the path from the east. Light the three beacons and return to me.
