I died in the middle of this quest, suddenly I'm across the water at the spirit healer for the splinterhoof clan. how do I get back up into Twliight Withering? the only way I know to get up there is to take Heartrazor, and you can't do that dead.

Description

There are two very powerful elementals that the Twilight's Hammer have bound. They are using the bound Fury and Vortex to infuse Animus with a great deal of power. When Animus has absorbed enough of their power, he will explode. The rest of Thousand Needles and much of the surrounding lands, will be obliterated.

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.

  • The DoomstoneThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    At the core of Animus is an artifact known as the Doomstone. One of its properties is an ability to absorb a great deal of energy. This is how the cultists are trying to set off the explosion... by overloading the stone and amplifying the power through the elemental. Bring me the Doomstone.
