Stupid that the instance unlocks at 58 but this quest is not available until 59. (Yes, I realize it used to be part of a chain that pretty much guaranteed a "ding" before getting it, but since it was moved into the instance the level requirement should have been adjusted as well.)

That is every comment on this page.

Description

Hellfire Citadel's entire defensive network relies on the ramparts as a sort of early warning system. You need to take out Watchkeeper Gargolmar and Vazruden the Herald. Without them, taking the ramparts will be simple.

Getting there

Inside the dungeon: Hellfire Ramparts

At the heart of Outland's barren Hellfire Peninsula stands Hellfire Citadel, a nearly impenetrable bastion that served as the Horde's base of operations throughout the First and Second Wars.

Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Watchkeeper Gargolmar, Omor the Unscarred, Vazruden the Herald.

Entrance: Hellfire Citadel, Hellfire Peninsula at 47.5, 53.6.

Instance text, bosses and entrances are the client’s Adventure Guide data.
