What to do

StorylineThe Storm Peaks, step 49 of 113
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

According to the documents you captured at Narvir's Cradle, the iron colossus is complete except for one key component -- the Heart of the Storm. Without it, the iron colossus' weapons would be much weaker than the design predicts. If we can deny Overseer Narvir the heart, we could defeat the colossus! Notes on the documents you found say that the heart is in Uldis, a titan facility far to the south. Its entrance is on the south side of a tall mountain overlooking the Bor's Breath River.

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.

  • A Colossal ThreatThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    You've done an excellent job of delaying the work on the iron colossus, but I fear we've only made the stormforged more determined to complete the weapon. Even now, they're bringing in new laborers and the overseers push them to the limit.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Iron ColossusThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    We have failed to prevent the completion of the iron colossus, <name>, which means we have no choice but to face it in battle. Bruor has devised a plan to exploit the colossus' only weakness. No matter how tough the colossus' armor is, it is still vulnerable to a jormungar's acid.
