The artifact is in the lava pool at the twilight hammer camp. follow the path up to the upper camp and follow it to the right. In order to loot the artifact you have to jump into the lava and stand on it the artfact.

Kommentar von TacBoy

The Altar of Suntara is in the slag pit by the Dying Archaeologist. Has a bunch of candles.

Where is exactly the artifact? I can't find the twilight hammer camp :s

Kommentar von 22578

The artifact is @ 29,26

Kommentar von 55982

Can this be soloed? If not what is the best way to get this done?

Kommentar von 62308

Soloed it as a Level 50 Hunter.

First kill the guards of the casters around the pool, can be easily pulled one by one.
The casters (idolaters) are buggy, The thrird counter clockwise is the only one that really attacks you if you get to near. So after you killed their guards just pull them one by one.
The guards that are at the plateau respawn very fast so be carefull.

Kommentar von fishu

Standing on the stone, got the quest but still cant loot it, im a lvl 53 draenei mage. Someone knows why?

Kommentar von 34056

I soloed it as a lvl 49 warrior. Just died near the artifact and logged on my main and killed all the Twilight's.

Kommentar von dinnerbone

Just a quick note - opening the artifact isn't instant, so don't expect to jump in get it and jump back out.

Kommentar von Flitzy

Don't forget to pick up the Prayer to Elune quest if you're alliance while doing this quest. Mine as well kill two birds with one stone!

Kommentar von 70803

The altar where you put the artifact once you have obtained it in order to complete the quest is right next to the Dying Archaeologist who gave you the quest in the first place, he is located at 41.2, 25.7 inside the mountain.

Kommentar von 84907

Is there any way to reset the idolaters aggroing you after they do it the first time? That buggy one on the south-west corner aggroed when I attacked a mob over there, and now I can't get near the damned thing. I tried to kill off the idolaters one by one, but they're chain-aggroing now.

Kommentar von 59797

Soloed as a lvl 51 shadow priest. Killing the elites wasn't that difficult (for my class), but took a decent amount of time and a lot of mana for each one. I had to eat and drink after each pull. I couldn't kill all the mobs around the lava in time, since they respawn very fast. When I was almost about to give up as I ran out of food, I got the mobs around the lava down to one. I mind-soothed this mob and hoped for the best. Luckily I was able loot the artifact without agroing the mob. I wouldn't recommend this to be soloed around this level, unless you know that you can take down the elites quickly and without mistakes.

Kommentar von 21902

As of new patch 2.3 assumingly, the mobs aren't elites. Easily solo as lvl47 shadow priest. Grabbed the artifact while levitating.

Kommentar von 89813

All good advice here so far, but its all mixed up into bits and confusing pieces, hopefully this clarifies it all into one post.

Exit the cave. Should be easier to head east uphill to leave.

Head back towards Thorium Point, continue past it to about 24, 29. It loooks a bit like a cobblestone path. Follow the torches a bit to your right until you see the lava pool. Clear the mobs. Stand on the Twighlight Artifact in the middle of the lava pool and click it. Lava gives a lot of damage, so be sure to do this.

Return to the cave where you got this quest. I found it easiest to drop down from about 49,44 which lines you up with the cave that easiest to go back to.

The Altar Of Suntara is next to where you got the quest. Click on it. 5,800 XP as of patch 2.3.

Quest continues with Rise, Obsidian, which requires you to stand there for a minute, they spawn right in front of you and that quest is returned to Ironforge for 8,650 XP.

Kommentar von 109381

You can stand on the artifact pedestal, so you only have to take damage going into the pool and coming out, and the opening won't be interrupted. Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious, but I couldn't figure it out for awhile.

Kommentar von Linxzy

Go to the top place at the LAVA pool. pickup a quest at the elf. deliver it back again to him. Jump on to of the lava pool and get this quest.

Go back to the torium point. and down to a hole. 49,44 follow the the big giant Obsidion (giant elemantal stone) then deliver quest.

Hope this helps!

Kommentar von 146390

I keep on dying cuz there's a whole mob here that keeps killing me

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hey guys this is actually located in the Firewatch Ridge. Before you get to the cave coming from Thorium Point there is a camp fire and wagon, you take a right and continue up the mountain. It is ELITE! ther is about 10 Elites at the alter and you need a group of atleast 2(if the other is a healer) should try and do it with three. You cannot solo this. Then after you find and kill everything around the lava pool get on top of the item to open or you will diefrom standing in the lava. Grab the item then get the quest form the night elf in the cage next to the lava pool( good xp and nice plate bracers). Take the artifact back to the dying dwarf in the Slag Pit and this unlocks the obsidion Quest. Kill all the dwarves around the area before you fight obsidion and his master both 52 Elites. Have fun!

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you go into the mines there's a part where there are lots of friendly slaves around a fallen gollum. The alter is right there, look for a dead slave on the ground. If you have names turned on above heads you'll see that almost every slave on the way in was red, or aggressive, but there's a group of greens, non-aggressives, around a fallen golumn and the alter is right there.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The Mysterious Artifact is in the middle of a lava pool directly west of Thorium Point. To get there, go south of the flight point to Firewatch Ridge and head west towards the cave. Do not go inside the cave. Instead, look to your right and find a path going up the mountain. Follow it and look for some more torches lighting up the path to your right. At the end of that path, you'll see the said lava pool and the Mysterious Artifact.

Be careful. Elite mobs guard this area, but they can be pulled individually, even the ones surrounding the lava pool. Once you've cleared it, you can jump onto the Mysterious Artifact to loot it, since wading through the lava pool will hurt and eventually kill you.

Kommentar von Thottbot

28,25 are cords

As a lvl 50 hunter this was really easy. Walked up there away from all mobs (if u dont find a safe way up, run trough all mobs and feign death if u are a hunter) When got up there I killed like 5 mobs (1 at a time of course) then sent my pet on the 3 remaining mobs ... while pet wheere bait i took the artifact and then feign death :D

And to turn in the relic Altar of Suntara is right next to the body where u first got the quest next to the golem lying on the floor.

So u see, this is indeed very soloable quest. And easy too.

Kommentar von Thottbot

you hand in the artifact in the cauldron
Theres a rock next to an elite elemental in cauldron cave in a big room. Its the room with enslaved people. you use arifact on the rock. there should be a sign to click it.
Once u have done this u have a dwarf talk to u once he is finished. the elemental will come to life and u have to kill him along with another elite lvl 52 guy. they both drop a quest item each which u have have to hand in at iron forge.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was able to make my way up to lava pool with out engaging any bad guys.

At top of hill i killed 3-4 geomancers (lvl 50-51 elites). They drop pretty easy and attacking them did not aggro anyone else nearby, even those at the lava pool.

I never did kill any of the mob directly surrounding the pool itself. Just levitated over lava and ran onto top of gem. This caused a couple of them to attack me, but I used Psychic Scream to send them away and popped my shield bubble and was able to loot the gem.

Died on running out.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The alter is in the mine at 41, 25.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Go up the hill always stay right... You can do it alone as a hunter anyway, 54+ I would say, anyway pull one at a time have your pet tank drain there mana what worked for me is the aimed shot and then fire everything you got. after about 15 kills go to the lava pool and stand on the otem you have to loot or burn to death lol. if you get killed like i did die near so you can respawn right on top . shadowmeld heel then loot

Good Luck

Kommentar von Thottbot

I managed to solo this just about at level 52 as a shadow priest.

Bear in mind this is post 2.01 patch so i have lots more damage power than before, you can run up to the people surrounding the lava pit without any aggro, everyone on the way to it will aggro you however! They only break their strange spell thing if you start to damage them, and only one at a time except for the one by the table will be pulled.
Cast Mind blast, Vampiric touch, SW:P, Vampiric embrace, bubble, and repeat, until low enough to wand them to death.

Just do it quickly with pots water and any other regen items or else they will respawn.

Only venture to the middle of the lava pit once its clear all round, they will kill you in a couple of hits if you go there without clearing the area first :P

Velarisel, Arathor, 52 Shadow priest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I tried doing this. Got the artifact without too much trouble, and then I came back to the guy who gave me the quest. That's the altar right in front of him, right? There's no way to click on it. It doesn't highlight, my mouse doesn't turn into the little gear symbol, or anything.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The Altar is underground (as in 'The Slag Pit' for those who had forgotten. like me :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm so sick and tierd of:

I soloed this quest (Insert class and lvl)

Where it is with txt and cords are all we need ;)

It's btw @

41,25

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got the artifact and came back the next day because I forgot to put it on the alter, cleared the path to the alter, but there was no place I could click to place the artifact. I kept clicking all over it but nothing happened. Is there a certain place I have to put it or what?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I made it to the artifact just fine minus one 600 hit from the lava... but my pet... not so much. Lol. Might want to dismiss your pet before you get it. Cheers!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Figure ill toss this out, you CAN reach the shard from the LAND.. Just sit near the edge, no 600dmg, no prollum

Kommentar von Thottbot

Dont forget you need to fight two 52 elite mini-bosses after you put the artifact on the altar. I was certainly surprised when that big statue got up and started pounding on me lol.

Kommentar von Thottbot

There no longer elites guarding the fire pool. new update must have changed there status. very easy to solo now and they still drop green items just as often as if they were still elites.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Okay! pacth 2.2.3 to 2.3 :D

first of all, the slave worker are now in yellow :) they wll not attack you in the slag pit from everywhere

second, all the mobs around the lava pool(for the quest item) are not elite anymore

Obsidion (the mobs at the altar where you start the quest) he's not elite anymore and they lowed is lvl to 46 ( not elite)

Durios the injured (not sure for the name :)) is also non-elite too ( and they lowered is lvl to 45)

The quest is now pretty easy for low lvl (did it 48 solo)

the quest at lvl 48 (around) will be in yellow and not even group quest

so i think its will help

Zul'jin 56 pally

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok its really not that hard, i am a level 44 mage, and i weas able to solo that really easly, the hard part is to stand on the artifact and not get killed by the lava., also the alter that u need to place the artifact on is in the same place as before, from the first cave that you where in, just above the "C" in Cauldron.

Kommentar von Thottbot

a few things to know:
the artifact says "Twilight Artifact" but it is in fact the mysterious artifact that u need for this quest
there are no longer any elites around pit, and u can pull the guys around the lava one at a time pretty easily
make sure u jump on top of the artifact and stand on top of the artifact to open it

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just soloed Whole series(There's another quest after this 2 kill Obsidion and Durios,the injured drawf at the beginning)who's Lathoric...

-47 Rogue
0/0/38

Tip:Watch for aggro while fighting

Other Tip:Obsidion's level was changed to 46 and is non-leet and Lathoric is 45 non leet

Oher tip: Good luck! :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

this Q is not ELITE anymore, good luck ;)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just soloed at lvl 50 warrior. You don't have to go into lava pool to gear the item. Kill all the mobs around the lava pool then go to cords 29/25 which is by the table on the right side of the pool near the table. You will be able to open the altar without getting in the pool.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I couldn't find a post that said it wasn't in the cave, so NO it's not. There's a path to the right of the cave entrance, lots of mobs so you'll either need help or be higher level. Northwest corner of SG, lots of elites. It's in the middle of a pool of lava, you gotta jump over to it and land on it, which is easiest on your mount. The path begins around 24, 35~ish if you use a coordinates addon. That should cover most of _this_ quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Noone has mentioned that there's a nasty fight waiting on you when you turn in the artifact. I was surprised by how nasty it was.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Wheres the altar? :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just did this quest last night. While scouting around the edge of the pool my pet aggro'd a caster who was in the rock face (i.e. bad spawn position). The caster could get us with fire spells but was too far into the rock to take damage from me or my pet. Just had to back-out until we cleared aggro and keep clear of that rock.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The artifact is not inside the caves, it's outside in the hills. The path that leads to the altar starts at coord. 24,32 for Cosmos. The artifact is in the middle of a lava pool ringed by elite idolators from 48-51 (very strong). Cosmos coord. for artifact are about 28,23. Path leading to lava pool has a bunch of elite geomancers 48-50. Very difficult as a soloist. Got it done with my 49 Pally. Ran to pool, died, walked back , got artifact, died from jump off cliff.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just got my level 70 rogue to clear the area and then logged in with my level 47 pally to get the artifact - much the simplest way ;)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Where should i deliver this Quest?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

With a gnome, it's a tough jump. A resourceful gnome named Wenzo suggested mounting up on my Mechanostrider, and trying to hit the center.

I got it on the first go! Dismount, grab, and get out!

Another idea: Perish in the area, and rez on of the artificat...silly, but effective.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This quest sucked....but I finally got it done!
Once your party clears out the mobs jump once....then twice to get up ontop of the artifact. If you do not do this you will DIE! (Make sure you do this fast because they respawn quickly) Then jump twice again and you should be fine. As a 55 mage I got it done with a fair amount of health left. (I was red though)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The Mysterious Artifact is in the middle of the lava pool at 29,25. The lava hurts, so make sure to jump far and swim quick.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

OK, you deserve to know this.

1) I ran up, jumped into the pool, died and resurrected on the artifact. (Tried this 3 times, this is what happened the third time).
2) One idolater came into the lava pool. I vanished.
3) I got my blind ability handy. Started opening the artifact.
4) The idolater came back into the pool, I nailed here with blind.
5) I opened the artifact, and looted the hammer.
6) I ran out of the pool, and jumped off the cliff. No one followed.

Died 2x getting into position.

Furnok - 55 Rog, Earthen Ring.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I used the mount idea and it worked to a point but due to server lag or something i right clicked the artifact but nothing happened and i died virtually instantly... impossible quest without clearing the area or dying and res.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

is about 1 minute. Serious. I couldn't f'ing believe it. Just abandon this quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The path leading up to the altar is at 24, 32.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

When you get the artifact, get the quest from the guy in the cage. Then kill an Idolater and he'll drop the quest item "Prayer to Elune." Return that to the moon temple in Darnassus and you get 6000 experience and some plate items.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The altar is right next to Dying Archaeologist who gives the quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I can find the pool and the artifact in the middle of it, what I can't find is the altar. If it's the altar-esque block of marble on the north end of the lava pool in which I found the artifact, I'll be darned but I can't seem to figure out how to place the artifact on it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The lava pool is just west of Thorium Point up in the cliffs. From ThPnt keep following the road west until you find some of the elites. There will be a cave off behind them a little bit. At that point try and find the path that leads up the cliffs to the north. It should be easy to find the pool at that point.

Note of caution: These guys are pretty difficult for their level and they do massive fire damage. I can't prove it but I think the area is bugged. Everytime I've been there I get fireballed and firestormed from nowhere. Even after my group cleared the place out something was still attacking us. In fact as I whisped back to my corpse fireballs were still being shot at me from all directions.

The archeaologist and the altar are right next to Obsidion underground. They're right underneath Thorium point.

The easiest way I've found to get down there is to find the NPC with the huge dragon pet. (SE of ThPnt) In that area you'll see a crane with a cable that disappears into the ground. You'll find that the crane is actually lower a box into a hole in the ground. Drop into the hole onto the box then drop into the cave. You should take minimal damage from the fall. Just head north in there and you'll find Obsidion laying on the ground with a bunch of neutral dwarves working on him. In front is the archeaologist and the altar.

This will lead to the Obsidion quest. My recommendation is to clear the area of all the worker dwarves first. Obsidion has a knockback attack so you'll probably agro a bunch of stuff unintentionally. You have to fight both Obsidion and his "maker". Both are 52 elite.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

solo'd this as 52 shadow priest ... piece of cake

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I had very little trouble with this quest. Put on fire resist aura, judgement+seal of light, and pound it out. Don't bother fighting the twilights with the shadowy hands, since they won't attack you unless attacked. Stand on the artifact in the center to retrieve it, and don't stop and stand in the lava. This was as a 51 pally.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Very simple for a warlock or hunter if you
don't feel like fighting. Ride in on your
mount with your voidwalker or best tanking
pet you have out. Ride and jump on the
artifact- dismount. I only had 2 mobs
on me at that point. Voidwalker tanked
them with time to spare to loot the object.
Hop over the edge towards Thorium Point-
done! But to get any exp you must return
to the guy who gave you the quest in the
cauldron.

Also did this with my rogue- fairly easy
as well. Stealth all the way in past the
artifact by the guy in the cage. From there
you can single pull several. Then sap
the ones close together. Only need to fight
1 at a time this way.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

What TheForge Scholar said is very good.
I had no problem jumping on the stone with my Human char. My Gnome char was an entirely different story.

If you are a short race your best bet is to have a Priest there with you casting a regen on ya. That way, if you miss the stone you will still be able to make it back to land before the lava kills you.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I want to second the note that this is NOT in the cave. NOT in the cave. There's a path up the mountains a bit to the right of the cave if you're facing it.

For those folks looking to actually clear it instead of just going nuts with running/praying, it's doable, but difficult: I managed it as a 50 hunter but I failed on my first attempt (was trying to keep a conversation going through /tell while doing it... bad idea) It's more of a race against the clock than anything else, as once things start spawning in the last area before it's clear, you can have some serious troubles.

The idolators by the lava pool are interesting. Their aggro seems weird but I can't quite tell how... sometimes they'll seem to notice you, turn to you, and not aggro. Also, very important: either something weird happened both times I was up there, or, the idolators are on a shorter spawn timer than the rest. The first time, an idolator popping while I was in mid-fight, well before the rest should have, was what got me. The second time, I was ready for it, but it still happened. It may be that there are some that are triggered somehow, or something. I'm not sure.

Possibly due to dumb luck or possibly due to the weird aggro issues, it's pretty easy to pull mobs one at a time around the pool. Probably best to clear the idolators last, if the shorter spawn time thing is accurate. Also, don't be like me and try to grab the artifact while you're still in the lava. Bad news :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The relic is in a pool of lava your best bet is to jump on top of the artifact to use it or else you will die trying to use it.

The pool is here
is Twilight Hammer guys all around the pool. There also a npc that gives a quest I believe nearby.

Edited, Mon Feb 28 15:21:06 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You don't have to jump on the artifact to open it. If you stand right in front of the cage, you can open it from the shore.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I can not find this place at all any help?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just did this quest last night with a lvl 48 pally whose armor is 4.1k. The lava pool was hitting me for 600 dmg each pop. Make your jumps count. Was teamed up with a lvl 51 warrior, 50 druid, and 50 warlock. We came close to wiping once but was able to heal the warrior enough so we could finish off the Twilight Hammer mobs. When you pull one, you wind up getting 2-3 in a group coming at you.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

but.. inside the cave?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Note of caution: These guys are pretty difficult for their level and they do massive fire damage. I can't prove it but I think the area is bugged. Everytime I've been there I get fireballed and firestormed from nowhere. Even after my group cleared the place out something was still attacking us. In fact as I whisped back to my corpse fireballs were still being shot at me from all directions.

I submitted an in game ticket regarding this, as well as a similar situation in the Staff of the Equinox in the Ravenwind Ruins, and it was confirmed by a GM that it is bugged, and that "we are working on a solution."

Kommentar von Allakhazam

what pool of lava?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

after doing this, i went to zul with guildies, and then, on the boat in menethil, fireballs started hitting me. They did not do any damage, but i was confused a lot.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As a Warrior, my tactic is generally to charge in and start hacking. I was just barely of a level to kill one cultist at a time, and eventually got the Symbol of Ragnaros for a previous quest in this chain, so I knew going in that I'd never be able to clear out the lava pool.

Instead, I made plans to die. I stripped completely down except for those items that don't get damaged, like the cloak and jewelry. Then, I ran into the lava. "Here I am, Idolators! Come and get me!" And get me they did.

As a ghost, I ran back to the lava pool (which is just a hair west of Thorium Point; you could spit and hit some Thorium Brotherhood lookouts). I jumped onto the artifact, since that lava would do me in. And I rezzed.

No one paid attention to me! I was able to open the Twilight Artifact and run toward Thorium Point. I attracted some attention on the way out, of course, and the jump did me in-- but what the hey, I didn't have anything that would need repair.

Maybe I'll use this methid again to mine that node that always shows up there!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The Altar of Suntara is where the quest starts (cords 41,25)in The Cauldron.
To get to the Altar of Suntara start at the cave in the cauldron at (cords 49,45) fight your way up to the gate, open it and go the the alter (cords 41,25)

This is for those who can not finish the chain of quests and forget where we got the damm thing let alone rember that it was a dying archaeologist hehe 8-)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The mobs here are no longer elite, so this quest really isn't that hard. Stand on the thingy to open it. Other than that, just a bit of killing.

Kommentar von skudnfroodie

When someone starts "Rise, Obsidion!" the altar is not klickable for a long time... just wait (more then 10 min)

Kommentar von GibbleFenwick

I found that none of the mobs around the pool seem to be linked.
So it should be feasible for most classes to pick them off one at a time.
You might have to be fairly quick about it though, because you might have to kill all of them to avoid aggro when you go to loot the item.
PS: Don't forget to jump on top of the item to loot it!

Of course pet classes need only kill 1 side (I suggest north because the item is further from the south-side mobs) and then martyr their pet to keep mobs distracted while you loot.

Kommentar von Utah

To find the artifact take the path north at 25,32.

To turn in take the right most cave in to slag pit at 49,45. Take the bridge across. Cross the room and the altar is at 41,25. The mobs for the follow up quest will spawn after a brief rp.

Kommentar von HCBailly

Is it possible to acquire the Mysterious Artifact in Phase 2 of SoD (Level 40 cap)? Even with a full group and/or with pets, there's just too many of them. Kiting isn't possible, since they'll kill anything in a few hits.
