Introductory Questline Walkthrough

This main questline introduces you to all the mechanics at play in Patch 8.3 and can be lengthy, about 2 hours or so to complete.

The Titanic Threat

Un consigliere indesiderato/Il ritorno del Principe Nero
You will receive the quest for the first time when zoning into Boralus once Patch 8.3 is released. When logging there, Magni will give you the quest Un consigliere indesiderato, asking you to go to Stormwind at once, mentioning that the SI:7 agents haven't had much luck with finding servants of N'Zoth. Once you arrive at the throne, you can see both Shaw, Valeera and Baine Bloodhoof there, but Anduin is not too happy about the SI:7's lack of reports.

Horde players, instead have the shorter quest Il ritorno del Principe Nero, which shows the same cinematic, told by Valeera, and then proceed to the Chamber of the Heart on Dove si trova il Cuore.

Anduin Wrynn: <player>. Time grows short, and our spies have yet to uncover anything regarding N'Zoth's plans of attack.
Anduin Wrynn: We must take action against the Old God before it is too late. Report to Stormwind Keep at once.
---
Master Mathias Shaw: I'm afraid I have little to report, my king.
Anduin Wrynn: Then what is SI:7 doing, Shaw?

Return of the Warrior King

After you talk to Anduin, an in-game event happens, and Wrathion shows up together with Magni. Magni then asks for a favor to Anduin in Il ritorno del Re Guerriero: To have the mace he created, Fearbreaker, back. Fearbreaker was a mace made by Magni and given to Anduin. Anduin tried to give it to Baine, who did not think he was worthy of wielding the mace, and now it finally returns to its crafter.

Where the Heart Is
After giving Magni his hammer back, we return to the Chamber of Heart in Dove si trova il Cuore.

Wrathion: Well, that was a pleasant reunion. <player>, I will await you in Silithus.
Magni Bronzebeard: Sorry to spring that on ye, lad. But before we go, I have a favor tae ask.
Anduin Wrynn: Anything, old friend.
Magni Bronzebeard: I'm gonna be needin' me hammer.
---
Anduin Wrynn: Fearbreaker. Though I was honored to have it bestowed upon me, I am relieved that you have come to claim it.
Anduin Wrynn: I feel I was never able to live up to its legacy. Even Baine thought himself unworthy to wield it.
Magni Bronzebeard: Nonsense, lad. I wouldna given it tae ye if ye dinnae deserve it!
Anduin Wrynn: No, Magni. Fearbreaker belongs in the hands of a Mountain King.
---
Magni Bronzebeard: Ah, it's good tae feel the heft of a hammer again.
Magni Bronzebeard: Come, Champion! We've got work tae do!

Network Diagnostics
In the Chamber of Heart, we accept Diagnostica di rete, where MOTHER diagnoses all titan facilities in Azeroth. An issue is eventually found in Uldum, where the Forge of Origination resides.

Magni Bronzebeard: MOTHER has connected the Chamber of Heart tae all known titan facilities on Azeroth.
Magni Bronzebeard: First things first. Let's make sure they're all workin' as intended.
---
MOTHER: Accessing facility. Designation: Uldir.
MOTHER: Facility dormant. Residual Old God corruption within acceptable parameters.
Magni Bronzebeard: Given how much corruption it used tae have, I'd say that's good news.
---
MOTHER: Accessing facility. Designation: Uldaman.
MOTHER: Discs of Norgannon intact. Records of unauthorized access not found.
Wrathion: It is not knowledge that N'Zoth seeks. The rise of Ny'alotha would erase all that we once were.
---
MOTHER: Accessing facility. Designation: Ulduar.
MOTHER: Forge of Wills currently operational. Communication protocol terminated by Keeper Mimiron.
---
MOTHER: Accessing facility. Designation: Uldum.
MOTHER: Error: Forge of Origination currently inactive.
Magni Bronzebeard: Inactive? What happened tae it?
MOTHER: Unable to determine root cause of deactivation.
Wrathion: I think we can all safely assume what this "root cause" might be.
Magni Bronzebeard: This is not good...

The Halls of Origination

A Titanic Problem and The Halls of Origination
Once MOTHER goes through with her diagnosis, we head to Uldum to meet with Magni in Un problema titanico. We then enter the Halls of Origination to reboot the Forge of Origination in Le Sale della Creazione. The Amathet have re-enabled many traps within the Halls of Origination, so we must fight our way through the dungeon to disable said traps and make our way to the elevator.

Once we reach the elevator within the Maker's Rise, Magni discovers it is powerless, and sends us to the conduct room where there are many power sources, including one that re-activates the elevator on the first left exit and one that will reoriginate all of Azeroth on the second left exit. You must first locate the elevator console, then toggle consoles in the room to divert power to the elevator. Once the full power is diverted, an Amathet will try to stop you, but it is actually a faceless one in disguise! Once you defeat them, N'Zoth will approach you for a second, Gift or no Gift.

Magni Bronzebeard: If we can figure out which one controls the lift, we can reroute power tae it and get it workin' again.
Magni Bronzebeard: Ah, this is the lift's console! If we reroute the power here, we can get her runnin'!
Magni Bronzebeard: That should do it!
Sun Prophet Tenhamen: Flesh cursed! Your kind are unworthy of the titans' gifts.
Sun Prophet Tenhamen: You have tainted this place long enough. Fall before the Amathet!
Sun Prophet Tenhamen: Time and again, you have failed to protect the titans' works.
Sun Prophet Tenhamen: Now you will burn!
---
Sun Prophet Tenhamen: I grow tired of this ruse...
Shith'rus the Manipulator: Gaze upon the face of your world's demise!
Shith'rus the Manipulator: Zaix qwaz oou ryiu ez ywaq awtgsSh yoq'al
---
Shith'rus the Manipulator: The black dream... wakes in this world...
Shith'rus the Manipulator: Oou hnakf ag'rr vorzz zz agth fhssh
N'Zoth: Such misplaced zeal. A pity the Amathet do not see the truth.
N'Zoth: Not like you. My devoted champion.
---
Magni Bronzebeard: Champion, are ye there? I thought we lost ye fer a second...
Magni Bronzebeard: If N'Zoth's minions are inside the Forge, then this is worse than we thought.
Magni Bronzebeard: We have tae hurry! Come on!

We then return to the elevator and with the help of Magni and MOTHER, reactivate the Forge of Origination. After all conduits are turned on, another awesome in-game event happens, and the Forge will be turned on again!

Magni Bronzebeard: Here we are! I'll contact the Chamber of Heart.
MOTHER: Connection received. Please confirm elimination of hostile entities.
Magni Bronzebeard: We took care o' them, but not before N'Zoth gave the forge a beating.
MOTHER: Understood. Activate power terminals to commence system reboot.
---
MOTHER: Receiving signal. Error: Unable to access primary power conduits.
MOTHER: Direct circuit to Chamber of Heart require. Interface Heart of Azeroth with main console.

Verso Ramkahen and La Coalizione di Uldum

We are then sent to the Ramkahen in Verso Ramkahen, where we discuss with their leader, King Phaoris, how to defend the Forge of Origination and ensure it won't be attacked again. The Ramkahen ally with the Wastewanders of Tanaris and the Explorer's League to set a line of defense in Uldum in La Coalizione di Uldum. After this, Uldum assaults will be unlocked!

High Commander Kamses: Brigands! Your kind are not welcome here!
Arik Scorpidsting: We've come unarmed, and only seek an audience with the king.
King Phaoris: It would seem you are not the only ones.
---
King Phaoris: It is clear that Ramkahen cannot face these menaces alone.
King Phaoris: I propose an accord with those here today, that we band together and defend our home.
High Commander Kamses: You cannot be serious! I will not partner with graverobbers and bandits!
King Phaoris: You will obey your king. All who would fight for Uldum are allies of Ramkahen.
Arik Scorpidsting: The Wastewanders stand with you, King Phaoris.
High Explorer Dellorah says: The League's got your back, too!
King Phaoris: Very well. Together we will vanquish all who threaten our home. For Uldum!

Minacce incombenti
It is time to defend Uldum! Finishing this quest unlocks the first rank of the new Respiro dei Morenti Essence.

For this step you must complete your first Uldum Assault. Click here for our Guide on Assaults!

Una corruzione bizzarra
Upon completing the Assault, you will receive a corrupted item, which will trigger the quest Una corruzione bizzarra, introducing you to the Corruption System.

Currently, there seems to be a bug and this quest cannot be completed if you haven't finished Wrathion's Questline from Patch 8.2.5.
Click here to learn more about the questline.

The Engine of Nalak'sha

Forgiature avanzate
After completing an Uldum assault Magni will approach you to go the Chamber of Heart once more, in Forgiature avanzate. MOTHER will assess the situation: The Forge of Origination is working at a reduced capacity, but we cannot divert power from other titan facilities, as they are working full time to protect Azeroth. Instead, MOTHER suggests we use the Engine of Nalak'sha in Pandaria.

Non è mai facile
We will head to Kun-Lai Summit to meet Magni in Non è mai facile.

Magni Bronzebeard: Yer back! Let's hear what MOTHER has tae say.
MOTHER: Forge operating at reduced capacity. Recommendation: Reroute power from compatible titan facilities.
Wrathion: So the Forge was not damaged beyond repair. How fortuitous. It is unlike N'Zoth to employ brute force...
Magni Bronzebeard: All o' the other forges are workin' full-time tae protect Azeroth. Is there anywhere else we can get that power?
MOTHER: Schematics indicate compatibility between Forge of Origination and Engine and Nalak'sha.
Magni Bronzebeard: That's it, then! Looks like we're headin' tae Pandaria!

As we arrive at the entrance to Mogu'shan Vaults, a battle seems to have happened between the Mogu and the Mantid, with a Mogu still standing and willing to talk to us - He tells us that the Mantid are trying to reach the Engine of Nalak'sha and we must stop them. As the Mogu starts leading the way, we're ambushed by Mantid!

Magni Bronzebeard: Careful, hero! One of these mogu is still kickin'!
Mogu Warrior: Honored Speaker... I... would have words with you...
Magni Bronzebeard: Ye... what? Well... that's peculiar.
---
Mogu Warrior: We must... make haste... the mantid--
Amber-shaper Gokilak: Foolish mogu! These vaults now belong to the Empress!
Amber-shaper Gokilak: Your allies will die with you!
---
Amber-shaper Gokilak: Our swarms... are endless...
Magni Bronzebeard: Ach, what are we gonna do now?
Mogu Warrior: Find... my clan...
Magni Bronzebeard: Hmm. If this mogu's clan is anything like him... Maybe they'd be willin' tae help us.
Magni Bronzebeard: I dunnae know the first thing about mogu clan sigils. But I bet Lorewalker Cho does! I'll meet yet at the Seat of Knowledge.
---
Lorewalker Cho: Ah, champion! Just as new dangers threaten Pandaria, her heroes make a triumphant return!
Lorewalker Cho: This will surely be a tale to remember. But enough prattling. How can I help?

Il sigillo misterioso and I clan dei Mogu
After we defeat the Mantid, the Mogu Warrior gives us a mysterious sigil and tells us to find his clan, which we bring to Lorewalker Cho in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in Il sigillo misterioso. Lorewalker Cho then begins researching mogu clans in I clan dei Mogu, telling us the story after we defeated Lei Shen in the Throne of Thunder, eventually coming to the conclusion that the mogu warrior belongs to the Rajani mogu clan, an ancient clan that served Ra-den on his time as a keeper.

Lorewalker Cho: As you know, the mogu clans were once again united by the ressurrected Thunder King, Lei Shen.
Lorewalker Cho: After his defeat, the mogu splintered and began warring for dominance. Many new clans arose from the ashes.
Lorewalker Cho: Perhaps this sigil belongs to one of them. Let's begin our search with my copy of "The Serpent Masters".
---
Lorewalker Cho: With their command over storm and serpent, many consider the Zan-Tien the dominant clan... though the others surely disagree.
Lorewalker Cho: However, I see nothing pertaining to our mysterious sigil. Perhaps my copy of "Power through Blood" holds the answer...
---
Lorewalker Cho: Masters of blood magic, the Dokani bolster their ranks powerful war machines fueled by the life essence of those they conquer.
Lorewalker Cho: Hmm. This looks nothing like the sigil, though. See if you can find a copy of "Will of Stone".
---
Lorewalker Cho: Stubborn and prideful, the Baruk use the spirits of the dead to animate the statues littering their ruins and turn them into immortal soldiers.
Lorewalker Cho: The sigil does not appear here, either. Could be we've not encountered these mogu before?
Lorewalker Cho: Wait... there is one more tome we could search. Bring me a copy of "The Origins of the Mogu".
---
Lorewalker Cho: Originally, the mogu served the titans as builders and guardians. Those who answered to Highkeeper Ra-den were known as the "Rajani".
Lorewalker Cho: Remarkable! This sigil matches that of the Rajani! Is it possible that this ancient clan has been ressurrected? And what of Ra-den?

Alla ricerca dei Rajani
We then head to Mistfall Village in Alla ricerca dei Rajani, where we kill Mogu for a scouting report. The Scouting Report tells us that the Rajani are holed up by the Silent Sanctuary overlooking Mistfall Village, so we go there to find them in Time-Lost Warriors, but we are stopped by the Rajani Stormspeaker Qian until we show him the mysterious sigil.

Stormspeaker Qian: Halt, outsider. Your kind are not welcome here.
Magni Bronzebeard: Is that how ye address the Speaker of Azeroth?
Stormspeaker Qian: The Speaker? What is the meaning of this?
---
You appear to walk with the Speaker, so I will allow you words.
Make them quick. The Rajani have little patience for meddlers.

> <Show Stormspeaker Tian the sigil>

Tsuo's sigil!
How did you obtain this?

> He was slain by the mantid and told me to seek you out.

Then his mission has failed. It is as we've feared.
It was not Tsuo's place to send you to us, but your arrival presents an opportunity that has until now been closed to us.
Walk with me, and I will explain.

Another awesome in-game event happens, and we're allowed entrance into the Silent Sanctuary... where Ra-den is! However, Ra-den has been despondent about the threat looming over Azeroth.

Ra-den: You waste your energy worrying over the vaults, Qian. The threat that is coming will consume us all.
Ra-den: You only work to delay the inevitable.
Stormspeaker Qian: Try as I might, I cannot reach him...
---
Ah, the champion of Azeroth. I should've expected that you'd show up in the vale soon enough.
Why have you disturbed my peaceful exile?

> I need the Engine of Nalak'sha to safeguard Azeroth from N'Zoth's corruption.

I have heard the whispers. I know what evil is upon us.
I'm afraid the coming darkness is too great even for you to bear. It took the combined might of all the Keepers and their creations to imprison the Old Gods during the time of the Black Empire.
With the Pantheon gone and the Keepers scattered, what hope do you have to prevail?

For this step you must complete your first Vale of Eternal Blossoms Assault. Click here for our Guide on Assaults!

Una prova di tenacia
After this, assaults in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms are unlocked, and we must convince Ra-den to listen to us in Una prova di tenacia by bringing a token of the Black Empire, obtained by completing an assault. After completing the assault and bringing proof of your deed to Ra-den, he reveals a secret: All Pandaria titan facilities are connected!

Il Generatore di Nalak'sha
You will then enter Mogu'shan Palace to find a secret passage to the Mogu'shan Vaults in Il Generatore di Nalak'sha. This will not be easy, though, as Mogu'shan Palace is also full of traps, including those floor traps that became a common sight within Pandaria.

After you get through the Palace and find the secret way to Mogu'shan Vaults, the raid will be overtaken by N'Zoth's minions! After cleansing the manifestations of N'Zoth, he will taunt you once more.

Magni Bronzebeard: Been a while since I've had tae walk for this long...
Magni Bronzebeard: Wait, I think we're here! Now let's find the Engine!
Magni Bronzebeard: What in the name of Azeroth is goin' on here?
Depthcaller Xith'el: Intruders have breached the vaults!
---
Depthcaller Xith'el: The Deep One... returns...
Magni Bronzebeard: I, I should've known the mantid would throw their lot in with N'Zoth!
Magni Bronzebeard: They're tryin' tae corrupt the Vaults! We cannae let that happen!
---
N'Zoth: Do you feel the frenzy of the swarm?
N'Zoth: They know what is coming. They know you will be its herald.
Magni Bronzebeard: Champion? Are ye still with me?
Magni Bronzebeard: I'm startin' tae worry about ye. But right now, we have tar focus on the Engine. Come on!

Una speranza ritrovata

After delving all the way to the Engine of Nalak'sha and cleansing it from corruption, Magni manages to connect it to the Chamber of Heart. The plan worked! We then return to Ra-den, who seems slightly hopeful now, and returns to the Chamber of Heart with us in Una speranza ritrovata. Completing this quest unlocks Tocco dell'Eterno for classes with healing specs and Spirito della Conservazione for classes with tanking specs.

Magni Bronzebeard: Nicely done, hero! Now tae get this thing runnin' again!
Magni Bronzebeard: Well, that's a good sign!
Magni Bronzebeard: Ouch! That stung.
Magni Bronzebeard: Wait a minute... I think I've got access!
Magni Bronzebeard: Reactivatin' the Engine now. Let me see if I can find a console or somethin' for ye...
Magni Bronzebeard: There we go! Ye can use that console tae connect us tae the Chamber of Heart.
---
MOTHER: Remote link established. Awaiting circuit completion.
Magni Bronzebeard: Hold yer horses, this thing didn't exactly come with instructions.
Magni Bronzebeard: Wait... it all makes sense now! Connectin' the power circuit!
Magni Bronzebeard: What's this? Interestin'... I'll remember that fer later.
Magni Bronzebeard: We did it, hero! The Forge is drawin' power from the Engine o' Nalak'sha!
Magni Bronzebeard: And... I found somethin' in the archives that could turn the tide against N'Zoth!
Magni Bronzebeard: Come on, let's get back tae the Highkeeper!
---
Ra-den: An intriguing discovery, Speaker. If the mogu have learned how to focus the Forge's energies...
Magni Bronzebeard: Aye, it means we can use the Forge against N'Zoth without reoriginatin' the entire world!
Ra-den: Hmm. Perhaps I should observe this myself.

Upon returning to the Chamber of Heart, Ra-den is marveled at its construction, mentioning it was likely made by the Titanic Watcher Archaedas.

Ra-den: Such a magnificent facility! It looks to be of Archaedas's make.
Ra-den: Odd that I was unaware of its existence.
MOTHER: Knowledge of chamber restricted to sigma-level clearance. Proximity to world soul requires additional safeguards.
Magni Bronzebeard: Aye, we only found this place because Azeroth herself showed us the way!
Magni Bronzebeard: But we can save the tour for later. We have a world tae save!

Powering the Forge of Origination

Inizializzazione del protocollo d'accensione and Rioriginazione
MOTHER and Magni start talking about his plan: using the Forge of Origination to strike at N'Zoth without reoriginating all of Azeroth in Inizializzazione del protocollo d'accensione. This will require putting anchors close to N'Zoth... which means a trip to the very heart of the Black Empire, Ny'alotha. However, MOTHER is unable to start the Forge, as there is still some anomalies. As the Ramkahen haven't requested back-up, it is theorized that we go there to see whats going on, which we do in Rioriginazione.

Magni Bronzebeard: MOTHER, can ye tell us how tae focus the Forge's energies against N'Zoth?
MOTHER: Analyzing data recovered from Engine of Nalak'sha.
MOTHER: Affirmative. Precision execution of Origination Protocol possible via remote triangulation.
Magni Bronzebeard: And what does this "triangulation" entail?
MOTHER: Successful deployment of calibrated targeting anchors requires proximity to source of contamination.
Wrathion: In other words, we need to place these anchors close to N'Zoth himself. Which means braving the very heart of the Black Empire.
Magni Bronzebeard: Anyone setting foot inside that accursed place would be driven to madness!
Wrathion: There is always a way. The rest of you see to the Forge. Leave the problem of Ny'alotha to me.
Magni Bronzebeard: I dunnae know what ye have up yer sleeve, lad... but all right. Let's fire it up!
---
MOTHER: Restoring Forge of Origination to full functionality.
MOTHER: Rerouting power from Engine of Nalak'sha to inactive systems.
MOTHER: Warning: Unidentified anomaly detected. Forge reactivation incomplete.
---
Wrathion: Champion. Pay close attention to this... anomaly, would you?

Investigare nelle Sale

As we enter the Halls of Origination in Investigare nelle Sale, the dungeon is seemingly alright, until it starts caving in right in your position! Thankfully, MOTHER intervenes and teleports us to safety, deeper within the dungeon. We're teleported to the Tomb of the Earthrager, where Magni establishes a new teleport for us.

Magni Bronzebeard: Look out, <player>! The ceiling's cavin' in!
Magni Bronzebeard: The entrance is blocked! We're trapped!
MOTHER: Scanning for structurally stable areas within Halls of Origination.
Magni Bronzebeard: We'll be dead 'fore she can finish! We've got tae get out of here!
MOTHER: Acceptable destination identified. Commencing emergency evacuation.
---
Magni Bronzebeard: Ohh, I know this place. Brann's talked me ear off 'bout it!
Magni Bronzebeard: Over here!
Magni Bronzebeard: Now then, let's get on with it.
MOTHER: Teleportation device detected.

We can see a faint anomaly in the distance... but things get worse and worse when we approach it. As we interact with it, we're sent to a horrific vision of N'Zoth! MOTHER saves us before our sanity can fully deplete, bringign us back to the Chamber of Heart.

Magni Bronzebeard: Look! Across the sand! That must be the anomaly!
Wrathion: I believe this warrants further investigation, <player>. Proceed with caution.
Magni Bronzebeard: Do ye feel that? Somethin's wrong...
Magni Bronzebeard: Are ye sure about this?
---
Wrathion: <player>! Can you hear me?
Wrathion: You must try to resist! Do not give in!
Wrathion: MOTHER! Get them out! NOW!
MOTHER: Initiating evacuation protocol.
---
Wrathion: A vision of N'Zoth made manifest. My suspicions of the anomaly's origin were correct.
Magni Bronzebeard: Ye knew this would happen and ye intentionally put our champion at risk?!
Wrathion: I had complete confidence that they would return unscathed. Clearly, I was correct about that as well.

Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve

A capofitto nei Sotterranei
With Wrathion's suspicions correct, he proposes us to go to Blackwing Descent to help us gain resistance against N'Zoth's visions in A capofitto nei Sotterranei. In there, Wrathion's worst fears are realized... N'Zoth's minions have seized the facility, and are using it to experiment on dragonflights.

Wrathion: As I feared... N'Zoth's forces have seized Nefarian's lair.
Wrathion: Make haste, <player>. There can be only one reason they are here.
Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: You will serve the master, or die!
Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: Ah, the Black Prince. It is such an honor finally to meet you.
Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: Behold the work of your fallen kin, and know that his efforts will not go to waste.

Wrathion is unfazed, though, and we descent further into the raid, defeating more of N'Zoth's horrors. As we reconvene with Wrathion, we defend him while he dispells the last barrier, leading to the room where Atramedes used to be at.

As we enter the Athanaeum, we meet with Vexiona and Dark Inquisitor Xanesh once more. Wrathion is taken by Xanesh! We're left to fend for ourselves against the chromatic dragons.

Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: At last, the Black Prince graces us with his presence.
Vexiona: The black dragonflight was unworthy of the master's gifts. But you can still be of use to him.
Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: Your father could not resist the Old Gods, little whelp. What made you think you would fare any better?
Wrathion: No!
---
Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: We knew it would be easy to lure you here. Your obsession with your dragonflight's legacy will be your downfall.
Dark Inquisitor Xanesh: With your essence, we will raise Nefarian and Onyxia in service of N'Zoth. The black dragonflight will darken the skies once more!
Wrathion: I will see you burn for this!

After we free Wrathion, he sends Xanesh away and lowers the lava in the lower portion of Blackwing Descent, where the remains of Onyxia and Nefarian are revealed. We gather corrupted scales from them, then burn their remains once for all, preventing the dragons from ever being raised again. After the deed is done, we return to the Chamber of Heart. As we return to the Chamber of Heart, Wrathion uses his brother and sister's scales to craft a cloak that will help us withstand the effects of sanity reduction: Ashjra'kamas, Manto della Risolutezza.

Nel cuore dell'oscurità
With the cloak equipped, it is time to face the Halls of Origination anomaly once more. MOTHER returns us there in Nel cuore dell'oscurità, where we attempt to fix the anomaly from before. The cloak allows us to be much more resilient to sanity loss, but we must still rush - It does not half sanity loss completely! Make your way back to the Forge of Origination and kill the cultist there to cleanse the anomaly. After MOTHER reestablishes connection, you will be returned to the Chamber of Heart. With the anomaly cleared and knowledge gained, Wrathion decides it is a good idea to venture into this visions to learn more about Ny'alotha and prepare for the future.

Horrific Visions

Discesa nella Follia
Wrathion decides that although allowing corruption to spread is not a good idea, it might help us prepare for the future, so he sends us to a horrific vision in Discesa nella Follia. You will explore a vision of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms or Uldum, fully overtaken by N'Zoth. The quest only requires you to zone into the vision, and you can leave as soon as you want. You can also explore the vision a bit, but be mindful you will not be able to withstand it for long, even with the legendary cloak equipped. Once you're done with the vision, return to the Chamber of Heart.

Tip: Don't forget to pick-up the daily quest at the entrance of the mini-vision and complete it to gain 3000x Visioni Coalescenti

Aprire il varco and Nelle profondità più oscure
Wrathion will then speak with MOTHER to create a portal to these Horrific Visions inside the Chamber of the Heart, in order to better control their corruption, while keeping you safe. From this new gateway, you may now enter Horrific Visions, which you will need to enter for Nelle profondità più oscure. You will enter a Horrific Vision of either Stormwind or Orgrimmar as N'zoth seeks to transform them and learn a bit more about Horrific Visions. The objective here is to learn more about the vision, which can be done by quickly defeating Alleria or Thrall. Defeating Thrall or Alleria will grant you one new Essence based on your current spec. Scintilla dell'Ispirazione for DPS, Protezione Incrollabile for Healers, or Forza del Custode for tanks.

Attack on the Heart Forge

Sussurri nell'Oscurità
When you return to the Heart Forge, you start hearing N'zoth's whispers in Sussurri nell'Oscurità. You then discover that N'zoth found a way to use your new gateway to Horrific Visions to invade the Heart Forge. Now you're tasked with defending the Heart Forge. To complete this you must dispel all the Obelisks in the room.

A cinematic play when you finish it, which shows Ra-den sacrificing himself to save the Chamber.

Nei sogni
Magni asks MOTHER to find where Ra-den is and you discover he is at Ny'alotha.

Follow-up Quests

After completing the introductory questline, you will have three quests left.

Accedere agli Archivi

This quest introduces you to the upgrade system. This system is designed to make Horrific Visions easier for you over time, with bonuses you gain while inside them.

Resti di un Mondo Infranto

This quest unlocks the Legendary Cloak upgrade system, which requires you first to obtain pages from books from bosses in Horrific Visions.

Ny'alotha, la Città Risvegliata: la fine del Corruttore

The final quest requires you to defeat N'zoth in the Ny'alotha raid instance.

Sounds like a lot of fun :)
Also great guide!

Commento di ricerd

Thank you so much for the awesome guides because they will make the new content much easier to understand as well as provide navigation help in case we are unsure how to proceed. The new content looks pretty fun, thank you Blizzard. Finally, it's great having a resource such as Wowhead.com to assist with the World of Warcraft Experience. I refer to Wowhead at least once every time I play. Happy Holidays fellow gamers.

Commento di Lostelf

I sure hope you can skip significant chunks of it on alts. That's a lot of questing to do.

Commento di Korkol

You cannot skip the introductory chain as a whole, however there are parts periodically that you can skip after completing the chain on your main character. For instance, I just skipped the first Halls of Origination scenario that involved the Vault of Lights puzzle.

Commento di apedosmil

2 hours? Yeah, right.

Commento di cloudwalkerclan

Yeah sure “two hours” if you’re fully capped on gear and can one shot anything you come across. I played for four hours and only got to re-origination. I’m not doing this on any alts. Screw that.

Commento di evangellion79

Thank you for the guide, I think I took about two hours, would have been more if not for your guide. Ideally, some of the scenarios should have option to be skipped, except the final one for the cloak and also we should have the choice to do the assault any time we want. Then I think it'll be perfect

Commento di Sarthorius

You guys need to do a guide for alts, so we know where they can skip stuff on this rather very long quest chain. I say it may be all this long because it isn't time-gated. So, my advice to all who would want to get the cloak on alts is at least do 1 character per week, so you can do other 8.3 stuff.

Commento di andreios

Thrallmar Mage apparently is no longer interested in porting anyone to the dark portal; all he tells me is to go to Shattrath.

However, another easy path is to take the portal to Twilight Highlands, and fly over from there.

Commento di CambrianLegion

During "Investigating the Halls"

"As we interact with it, we're sent to a horrific vision of N'Zoth! MOTHER saves us before our sanity can fully deplete, bringing us back to the Chamber of Heart"

Umm no! She didn't pull me back till sanity was gone and I died... including the 10% durability loss ;(

431 Druid with 5 corruption. Couldn't heal out of it. Zero Sanity = dead.

Edit 2/7/2020:
I've done this on 3 alts now and learned a few things I hope this information is helpful.

After "Magni Bronzebeard says: Look! Across the sand! That must be the anomaly!" You can start across the sand. As soon as you interact with anomaly and get ported into vision interact with the 5 "whispering thoughts" mobs right around anomaly and wait for Mother to port you out. Don't waste time trying to kill stuff.

TL;DR:
So the description above for "Investigating the Halls" appears to be from the PTR as the Dialog from Magni and the actions that occur are significantly different. I gleaned this from watching two videos on the actual "Investigating the Halls" page linked above

- The first video on that page should be ignored. The dialog and actions in that video match this page but they are not what i witnessed on my 4 trips through.

- The second video is accurate but when Character gets inside the anomaly he starts killing things first. He then figures out to interact with the "whispering thoughts" mobs right around anomaly. But, before he can interact with all 5 he dies of Sanity loss. I did the almost same thing my first time through ;) Although I did manage to interact with all 5 I lost all sanity before Mother could complete my extraction.

- As pointed out elsewhere you can die of sanity loss and still get quest credit (yay!). However, when I died on my main I suffered the 10% durability loss (Boo!). (Not a biggy, but that runs about 70Gs in repair cost for me nowadays). Please note this was on day 2 (Jan 16th?) of patch and maybe been updated to eliminate the 10% durability loss.

- The other 3 times I've been through I immediately interact with the 5 "whispering thoughts" around anomaly and have gotten ported out with about half sanity left.

Commento di darury

The one good thing is, besides skipping scenarios on alts, you can run multiple toons through them at the same time. I typically run 2 accounts and didn't realize this at first, but it at least cuts my time in half with all the running around.

Commento di Maxintosh

I just finished the questline, a couple weeks after the patch dropped. I can only play about two hours a week, so I'm way behind. However, I love questing and this was GREAT! I only have one alt, so I'm likely to take him through the whole thing again just to get more of the lore details, the perspective of the other faction, and hopefully find more of the hidden, not-so-obvious stuff. But - I'm sure it will be another six hour investment, and that's perfectly fine by me. Prolly right after I get through the raid and finish the quest chain.

Thanks for the guide! it was really helpful.

Commento di Wellsy67

This is a great guide. It's been really helpful and allowed me to play new content with my boosted character, for a change. I'm normally v far behind the hype with my main. I'd love to be that person who takes the estimated 2 hours though...so far I'm on about 4 hours and about half way through getting there! I was unlucky with the scroll quest! Still, I'm enjoying it!

Commento di Flayologist

I died trying to fight the tendril. Upon releasing is put me back in the halls of origination - tomb of the earth rager.

Now every time i go back to the terminal called "vision of the halls of origination" and click it so i can go inside, it instantly kills me standing at the terminal. So i appear to be stuck at 100% insanity.

What am i doing wrong? I do not see anywhere to see how much insanity I have, whether in my paper doll, or as a debuff under my name. How are you supposed to know how much insanity you have accumulated? Why cant i click this damn vision thing without instantly dying?

Of course, I am also now stuck in the halls of origination, in the "tomb of the earth rager" section of the map, as the green teleporter pad does nothing, and the door leading from the vision terminal down to the tentacle is closed....I appear to be stuck here.

Commento di zysis

For people running alts and can't find clear info on what to skip and where...

When Magni asks you to meet him at Halls of Origination, head there, accept his quest and talk to him again to get the dialogue to skip it completely.

Ra'den also has dialogue to skip in Vale of Eternal Blossoms, when given a quest from him, speak to him again and you'll see the skip dialogue.

Commento di ZenScott

In case you have started this (like I did) and don't know it...open your Quest Log and look for anything labeled Nazjatar that will get you moving in the right direction.

Commento di Stayka

I got a level 60 Cuore di Azeroth (453ilvl, 2 traits), 4 pieces of ~440ilvl gear (i.e. Veste della Fauce Insaziabile), and Ashjra'kamas, Manto della Risolutezza for completing the questline. It's basically doing the weekly assaults with a few extra steps. If I could do the quest again for more gear... I would.

So yes... a toon that I hadn't played in a year is now being invited into LFG groups for normal Nyalotha. After a ~3hr quest chain... ~~some of you are being BFA babies.~~

Edit: Honestly creating this Wowhead account, learning how to link items in my comment, and posting this took longer then the quest.

Commento di jonhernandez91

When Magni shows up in Nazjatar, the quest is called Essential Empowerment (A)

Commento di jkurkul

I'm lost and gave up - I ran my druid through until finishing uldum and vale assaults, and I have no other black emperor quests. In Nazjatar, I have Down but not out and the mad mage labratory - do I need get my peon to 2400 now? I ran through on my DH and finished, got the cape, but this guy is lost. I wish I could remember where in Nazjatar my DH was to finish this, but I don't think he needed to be this far. Any help appreciated.

Commento di TDougA

I am at the point of entering horrific visions, and I die too fast. One single kill hatches a mob of multiple for my Hunter and pets. There's no way I can see, to progress further than the front entrance of the vision. At this time, I could care less about entering a horrific vision ever again. Legendary Cloak or not, it's just not a welcoming good time.

Commento di Hermann3010

This is all lovely and all but now that Anduin got snatched by Mawsworn I'm having a little difficulty talking to him in order to turn in the quest "An Unwelcome Advisor". So uhh... yeah. Help please?

Commento di wowZhenek

If you want to farm mounts/pets/toys only, the zones become available pretty much from the get go. I did the questline on a fresh 50 (boosted) up to 1st visit to halls of origination, which I didn't even need to do, and the zone was already filled with the n'zoth content mobs. I did have to complete the nazjatar intro (I mean, u will do it anyway, coz, naturally, soundless is something u will also be farming on that alt, so ...), other than that, 30mins pretty much

Commento di knight85

Is there any way to be able to access the rares in the zones without having to do the whole questline? (specifically the vale. i want to tame stormhowl for my hunter)

Commento di Alfa

You're missing a quest under Fresh 50 Characters

For part 4, you need to pick up Inviare la flotta | Inviare la flotta in order to travel to Nazjatar to do the questline.

Commento di Raygar

Is there anyway to complete this now? Half of the quest it seems Blizz took out of the game.

Commento di havyng25

So i was doing alt run for Ny'alotha and stumbled at Zidormi in Vale of Eternal Blossoms not appearing. It seems like i need to do this whole mess just to access the Raid. Not woth it, i'm waiting the rotation for Uldum.
