Okay, I thought I would add a comprehensive post for this group of quests for everyone:


  2. Do the following 3 quests together:

    Started by finishing: Cultivating an Image

    Started by finishing: ... Or Maybe We Don't

    Also started by finishing: ... Or Maybe We Don't

  4. Once inside Dun Argol, put on the disguise and head over to the building at 81,60 and complete the "Put on Your Best Face for Loken" quest

  6. Once you are done with that, do NOT remove your disguise or turn in the quest and head over to the building at 76,63 and go to the lower level.

  8. Bomb the power core and this completes the "Blackout" quest.

  10. While your are still in the building on the lower level and exercising some care to not be in aggro range, remove your disguise and activate your War Golem.

  12. EMP Anvil and attack Iron Thane Furyhammer. Anvil will be disabled for only so long so you'll probably have to EMP him again. Once Iron Thane is dead, this completes the "The Iron Thane and His Anvil" quest. After I killed Iron Thane, I destroyed Anvil too so I could loot them both.

  14. At this point I jumped out of the War Golem, put my disguise back on and walked out of Dun Argol.


I hope this is helpful.

Fun and easy quest.

Your Golem has 2 attacks: Charged Smash and EMP. Charged Smash inflicts 120% weapon damage and an additional 500 Nature damage. EMP disrupts The Anvil, causing it to drop Iron Thane Furyhammer's protective shield. You must keep The Anvil stunned or else Iron Thane Furyhammer become immune to all damage.

Hunters and Warlocks: Entering the Golem dismisses your pet. This is particularly irritating for a Warlock since you don't get the Soul Shard back.

Do this quest with Blackout.

Description

Now that you've charged up your war golem, we're going to put all that energy to good use. Activate the golem inside Dun Argol to take control of it. Our information about Dun Argol's leader, Iron Thane Furyhammer, suggests his bodyguard protects him from all harm. That bodyguard is the construct he travels with, called The Anvil. Disable the construct, and his protection will disappear. The thane stays in the building at the top of Dun Argol and supervises production from the bottom level.

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.

  • ... Or Maybe We Don'tGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    You'd think the guys making the power cells would've thought to power them up, but no, they've got to make it difficult for us. Fine, we'll charge those cells the hard way. There's enough power in them to run the golem for a short time, but don't expect it to be any good in combat.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • BlackoutGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    The large hall at the top of Dun Argol houses the power source for the entire area. If you can destroy the power core, it will cripple Dun Argol for some time. No power means no golems, no sentries, and no more lightning armaments.
