High Overlord Saurfang gains Enrage.
High Overlord Saurfang's Mortal Strike hits Northrend for 1.0 × 10^100.

Now I know what's *really* meant by the razing of Orgrimmar... elder Saurfang demolished it in a fit of anguish.

EDIT: And I can't fault the guy.

Armor is on the ground infront of Alexstrasza, a bit hard to see but it's there.

Part of the Horde questline for the Wrath Gate event. This quest line is very long and spans the entire length of Dragonblight. Quite honestly, I consider this one of the most important quest lines (thus far) in Wrath. A must-do for any hordeling. :)

In quite a few of these chains there are optional prequests. I will not list these, despite them being in the quest series list, because they are just that: Optional. I will list the LATEST quest available that will start the chain, or the one most likely to pick up while completing other parts of this chain.

Additionally, these quests are Horde Only. I, unfortunately, do not have an Alliance character on the Beta, so I do not have access to any alliance quests. Sorry!

Step names are purely flavor. They generalize what that part of the chain leads up to/is about.

I highly urge everyone to read the quest text. This quest line is quite possibly one of the most epic in Warcraft history and is highly worth the time. Lore lovers and haters alike should enjoy them.

Step 1: Recruiting the Taunka

1.) Into the Fold
2.) Blood Oath of the Horde
3.) Agmar's Hammer

Step 2: Destroy the Nerubians

1.) Victory Nears...
2.) From the Depths of Azjol-Nerub
3.) The Might of the Horde
4.) Attack by Air!
5.) Blightbeasts be Damned

Step 3: Annexing the Taunka

1.) Strength of Icemist
2.) Chains of the Anub'ar
3.) Return of the High Chief
4.) All Hail Roanauk!

Step 4: The Forsakens New Plague

1.) Imbeciles Abound!
2.) The Forsaken Blight and You: How Not to Die
3.) Emerald Dragon Tears
4.) Spread the Good Word
5.) The Forsaken Blight

Step 5: The Red Dragonflight

1.) The Kor'kron Vanguard!
2.) Audience With The Dragon Queen
3.) Galakrond and the Scourge
4.) On Ruby Wings

Step 6: Victory Over the Scourge?

1.) Return to Angrathar
BONUS! Wrath Gate In-Game Cinematic/Machinima outside link to view it

Loved The Sylvanas Part , DEATH TO THE SCOURGE AND DEATH TO THE LIVING ! and then , this is the hour of the forsaken ..
FOR THE FORSAKEN !
LOVED IT :D

Kommentar von BattleTide

Lok'tar ogar! FOR THE HORDE! This movie that you just viewed with your jaws on your keyboard should make any WoW player who rolled a Horde very proud. The alliance? Dunno...all I know is I have this weird feeling that 98-99% of all WoW alliance players wish they rolled Horde....

Kommentar von 275073

Has to be the best quest line ever....lives lost...blood shed...fighting along side Sylvanas and Thrall....truly EPIC!

just a side note....no tauren support? no blood elf support....would been nice if they came to support but really thralls + sylvannas= asskicking no matter how you look at it.

Kommentar von 252019

I also concur - the chills I got watching the movie made me want to go and take on Arthas there and then!

Kommentar von 230029

For those that weren't paying attention to the story much, like me, until this event Saurfang is back in Warsong Hold, after you get the armor.

Kommentar von 250956

Alliance have their own version of this quest.

Kommentar von 86411

Thank you Sunsmoon for all the info, I just cant wait to start this quest chain, I've gotta double up on my leveling cause the excitement is killing me.

Kommentar von 91976

One interesting thing to note is what Alexstrasza says after.

Korialstrasz says: My Queen, do they know?
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: No, my beloved.
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Ashj zila gul kirasath lok ante il lok buras danashj Gul gul
Korialstrasz nods.
Korialstrasz says: They will not.
Alexstrasza whispers: Come to me, <name>.

In Draconic "Ashj zila gul kirasath lok ante il lok buras danashj Gul gul" means "They must not discover the fate of the young paladin. Not yet." when run through the in-game translator. Implying that Bolvar may have survived...one way or another.

I must admit, that was a sick chain quest.

Kommentar von Legendary231

This chain quest is incredible. It deserves it's own movie it is so well-thought out.

If ever there will be a World of Warcraft movie, it should be centered around this chain.

Kommentar von Ashkir

High Overlord Saurfang is in Borean Tundra in Warsong Hold. Don't run to Orgrimmar like I did. :3

Wowhead does not have experienced marked on this quest. You gain a total of 31,150 experience for turning in this quest, nice ten thousand more then usual! Click for screenshot.

Kommentar von blupache

After getting to this point in the chain, all the horde & alliance soldiers in the area are running around fleeing in terror.

Except the flight master. He still greets you with a cheery "Zug Zug".

I strongly suspect flightmasters are distantly related to Saurfang.

Kommentar von Lurdk

Anyone noticed that when you turn in this quest, he says that he will place the armor in nagrand...!

"I thank you for returning our battle armor. It will be placed upon his pyre at the Ancestral Grounds of Nagrand."

has anyone seen the armor?

Kommentar von 324131

Hey, did anyone else notice when your talking to Thrall, that Sylvanas has 3X more hp then Thrall, but during the siege, Thrall has 3X more hp then Sylvanas.

Kommentar von 313428

How starting this quest? Alexst. don't give me it, I make all steps listed before, complete the archievement but the quest don't start.. Someone knows other pre-requisites?

no it goes like this

High Overlord Saurfang casts Global Warming.
High Overlord Saurfang's Global Warming hits Northrend for 995495738 (Critical).
Northrend has been Slain!

Kommentar von Mipe

Every time I do the Wrathgate chain, I almost feel like crying. The whole thing is just that powerful for me. It's not even helped much by the fact that the Horde side only lost Saurfang junior, as opposed to the High Overlord himself.

I still need to get my Alliance alt out of Outland and into Northrend to see the other side of things.

Kommentar von Raindance

What I really love is the Warlock's Face mask... wish my lock was as kickass as him. He pwned all sides. Bet the Forsaken have a split. Next expansion we're all fighting plague weilding Undead.

Kommentar von 29807

Is there any transcript of the dialogue when you take the armor to him?

Specifically where he talks about his son being a hero for dying in battle?
It seems to be missing on wowhead

Kommentar von 98531

Hi all, im posting up the top here purely so people can see it because the post i am responding to is on the 2nd page, to which most don't travel (although you should)... Plz don't rate down because of this, if you're unhappy, i'll get it moved...

Is there any transcript of the dialogue when you take the armor to him?

Specifically where he talks about his son being a hero for dying in battle?
It seems to be missing on wowhead

First off, before you go to the quest dialog page he says:

Fear has always been our greatest weapon. Entire wars have been won and lost upon the shifting shoulders of trepidation and doubt. So how, then, does one fight an enemy that knows no fear?

<Saurfang shakes his head.>

We do not just fight the Scourge in Northrend, we fight to gain control of our senses before they tear us apart...

Once you hit the quest to hand it in and you show him the armour:

<Saurfang's face contorts.>

My heart... my strength...

Hit continue and:

<Saurfang looks to the heavens.>

Like Brox, my son died a hero. Do not mourn him, {your name}. For an orc, there could be no better end! No greater honor! At this moment, my heart swells with pride.

I thank you for returning our battle armor. It will be placed upon his pyre at the Ancestral Grounds of Nagrand.

We must turn our full attention to more pressing matters.

well, i hope this answers your question.

Kommentar von 614243

I can't find this NPC to start the horde quest. Do i need to do something else before i see him/her?

Kommentar von 519598

While on this quest, I wandered to UC to see if the city had already been taken over. It had not, and the city is safe to enter while on this quest.

Interesting to note, however, that it seems to have been phased to the post-battle UC, with Kor'kron guards instead of abominations. A check of the Royal Quarter shows, indeed, Varimathras is absent and Sylvanas is accompanied by Bragor Bloodfist.

After turning in Darkness Stirs and picking up Herald of War, however, Undercity is under attack, so port yourself to the city at your own peril.

Kommentar von 699571

whats the pre -req for this whole quest chain?

Kommentar von Bobblybook

Unattainable after The Shattering - quest line just stops at wrathgate now.

Kommentar von 689

This quest and its Alliance counterpart have been removed as of patch 4.0.3a (The Shattering). As Thrall is no longer the Warchief, he won't be leading the charge to recapture the Undercity. The quest chain now ends with Return to Angrathar and the achievement.

Kommentar von itsmontoya

I believe this quest was taken out of the game in the most recent patch. Just finished the quest line up until the cinematic. I received the achievement. Now Alexstrasza offers to replay the video, but no follow up quests.

Booo :[

Kommentar von syovar

I just finished the cutscene and Alexstraza tell me to talk to her, but does not offer this quest. Anyone else have this issue? Put in a ticket and there is an apparent long line :/

Nevermind didn't see all the posts before. My bad :P

Kommentar von Dalez

Just a heads up: this quest is no longer available as of 4.0.3. Apparently it was a "Wrath only event" and you will only get up to Alexstrasza and Kol talking and Alex telling you to come to her.

Bummer :-(

Edit: Also didn't see the posts above, the "sort by patch 4.0.3" didn't work :-(

Kommentar von 719868

What was Blizz thinking when they dumped the quest-chain after the cinematic?

Retaking UC was an excellent way to follow such an epic event in the game, not to mention a great milestone in the leveling process. I always looked forward to this part of Dragonblight questing, not to mention the Exp that goes with it all.

What a shame!

Kommentar von Polygoncoke

I hate you, Blizzard.

Kommentar von Gosutav

I just don't understand why they had to remove this chain. It was SO epic.

Even in Nagrand Thrall comes back from nowhere to show how epic was the Mag'har chain line, I don't understand why here couldn't work similar.

Kommentar von 740032

yeah wtf... They kept everything in the Mag'har chain in Nagrand... Garrosh is in 3 different places... soo lame :( I just finished this quest and now I don't get to experience this. DUMB

Kommentar von Ozrek

Very stupid that this was removed. I never saw it from the Horde perspective and now I wont get the chance. As others have said, Garrosh is in 3 other places, and hell even Bliz has said that the expansions are in their own timeline. Very short sighted.

Kommentar von Sunfox

I must say, as someone who never experienced this questline until recently, I was rather confused when the cinematic ended with a phasing of the Wrath Gate, Alexstrasza sitting there looking like I need to talk to her, but would only replay the cinematic when I addressed her.

It wasn't until I did some investigating to find out what I was supposed to do next that I realized that segment of WoW lore was taken out. I'm glad for those who inserted the original quest's text so that I could find out what was supposed to happen.

It was extremely perplexing for the storyline to just end there, no taking the honored armor back to the elder Saurfang and reporting his son is dead, which is what I thought I was going to do but never did. I am sad now, but life goes on.

Long live Saurfang.

Kommentar von saminata

Seems that we can't pick it up anymore... What the Hell... It was one of the coolest quests... Unless it's just me. :/ Anyone else gets no quests from Alexstraza after the cinematic?

Kommentar von 573643

Leave it to Blizz the bugger up one of (if not THE) best quest chains in the game.

Kommentar von 573643

I couldn't even get the cinimatic. :(

Kommentar von Agronok

I must ask why this questline was removed in Cataclysm...the battle for the undercity was awesome!

Kommentar von Ritmann1987

hmmm. just finished the quest chain... and the only thing you'll get is a "dialog" from the two dragons and a "whisper" witch says come to me.......... and nothing further not even a quest just the damn cinematic over and over. The armor kit and shield lies below the dragon queen but nothing else... but thats the new way of blizz destroying quests just to make it easier for some players.....

And translated to danish.....

hmmm er lige blevet færdig med kædequesten.... og det eneste man får er en "samtale" mellem to drager og et "hvisk" kom her over......... og intet udover en skide film som man kan se igen og igen osv. rustningen og skjoldet er der stadig, men man kan ikke smale det op selv om det ligger lige under dragernes dronning....... men det er den nye vej frem for blizz, ødelægger quests bare for at gøre det nemmere for andre spillere.....

men det er bare min menning og sure opstød
that's just my opinion and bad behavior

Kommentar von AudibleKnight

This quest line now ends after the cinematic. I just finished the previous quest and am a bit sad that I'll never get to experience these epic quests because I waited until after Cata to return to WoW.

I was able to read the script of the quests here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Quest:Darkness_Stirs

Videos of the quest can be found on youtube (My links to youtube get removed).

It's a poor replacement for actually experiencing it with your own character, but not much I can do now.

Kommentar von Rigskin

Godammit Blizz! You took an awesome quest out and didn't even add a little replacement or something.

Kommentar von 226060

So weak! I've been leveling a Hordie because of all the new content and was continueing to play it for this quest line. I confirm the quest is gone.

So not impressed or happy :(

Kommentar von Gothicchick83

Ok so for the quest after the cut scene from Alexstrasza the Life-Binder can't give out a quest i'm on my mage alliance and there is no quest from her so i guess i'm done with Dragonblight oh well(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##

Kommentar von 965525

Stupid of Blizzard to remove this sexy quest chain. Especially since I just spent two days getting my paladin through Dragonblight so I can retake Undercity.

Kommentar von jamesjiao

After incinerating the battlefield, Alexstrasza still asks you to approach her as if she has something to say, even if the quest has already been removed by Blizzard. An oversight maybe.

Kommentar von Anitara

This is really unbelievable. Blizz just removed the second half to a very important event in the lore. One of the races of the Horde appears to have betrayed their own faction, and there's just no resolution to it. No one says a word... I guess the Horde is okay having their own soldiers killed by the Forsaken. Nothing worth getting upset about, I guess.

I guess in the new retconned timeline, Putress never took Undercity, Sylvanas never barely escaped with her "life," and the Alliance and Horde never entered Undercity to retake it.

So the Horde (as far as the player knows) never found out that Putress had betrayed Sylvanas and that this attack at the wrath gate was not ordered by her (at least that was what she said before). A major betrayal within the Horde, and... it is ignored.

I can only guess why the geniuses at Blizz took this out. Some said it was too hard... maybe the same reason they neutered so many elite quests, because they think there won't be enough people playing in the zone to get the group-oriented ones done.

I did the retaking UC one solo (aside from the npc team of course) several times. It's not a problem. If that was the reason they removed the rest of the series, it's pretty pathetic... to remove the entire resolution to an epic conflict like this and to leave it hanging should at least have a reasonable explanation (not that leaving the story hanging is ever a good idea).

If it is because Thrall is no longer warchief... well, he was at the time of the Wrath Gate event. That would not even be in question if Blizz had not horked the timeline with Cata. It used to be that the old 1-60 world was in the pre-BC time as it was originally written, Outland was of course BC, Northrend was of course WOTLK... so as you leveled from vanilla to BC to WOTLK, you experienced the timeline roughly as the events would have happened, in order.

But when the new WOW devs decided to mark their territory by messing up the old world (which they had no emotional connection with), they made it so 1-60 was mostly cata, then you (without explanation) went back in time to fight the Legion, then Arthas, then rejoined the present again with Cata. Utterly stupid move.

So if they removed the retaking UC event because of that... again, really stupid on their part. The entire fight against Arthas took place before cata, so why would they be concerned that having Thrall as warchief would be an anachronism?

Kommentar von Reedhawk

I spent hours to do the quest chain leading to this one... VERY disappointing to realize they removed it, cuz they can and they can never make a proper explanation to us for this...

Kommentar von catscratcher

They should've left this one intact. We already see Dranosh die. What's wrong with delivering his armor to Agmar's Hammer ? They could keep the entire event anyway. You know there's the OUTLAND issue if they were trying to keep the story updated. If you don't fix outland, don't try to fix anything else.

Kommentar von 1017531

I only ever got to this point in Dragonblight a few days ago, after questing in Northrend to get the Loremaster Achievement.

I took a break from WOW some years ago and wasn't present during Wrath.

After seeing the cinematic with Putress and all that, I was REALLY bummed when I found out about this whole questline. :(

Kommentar von Sarthorius

Tell me then, Blizz, why is Rhonin still in Dalaran (as of MoP), as the Head of The Kirin Tor, since we all know he died In Theramore while saving Jaina? Northrend Is Northrend, If the quest might have bugged out somewhat Undercity in the Eastern Kingdoms, why not transfer it then to the Caverns OF Time then or something like that?

Kommentar von Tenjen

While removing the undercity part of the quest was understandable, its unfortunate they removed this part too.

Kommentar von Eziair

After having a break from WoW (left just before Pandaria, came back 2 weeks before Legion) and there being so many changes to the game I started new toons.
Got to questing in Northrend, loved Wrath so much the first time around. I have been disheartened so many times that some great quests have been cut from the game inc this one.
