Just because I am an idiot, make sure you remember that this is underground in the caves, not on the top level. I was walking around those coords and was thinking, what the hell.

Then I realised what was up. hah

Comment by 18445

What exactly do you have to do for this part of the chain? I tried talking to the dying arch. But all he says is to 'free them first' or something like that...but I can't talk to the others...so how do I complete this part?

Comment by 18445

Ok I'm a retard.. nobody read my last comment!

Comment by builtforsin

I took the North/East Cave entrance into "The Cauldron" and ran past just about eveything... Talked to the little Dwarf that was laying down and that was about it! The cords are 41,25 Inside "The Cauldron". Also posted a screenshot above.

This quest was easy solo.. Open your map and you see the entrance to one of the caves... You want to enter the second one from the left. When you jump down their is an elevator.. Take that down to the third floor and jump out there... Cave entrance is on your left hand side and just run past all the guys or kill them for xp... Keep running till your under Thorium Point and he should be on the ground.. Click on him and you get an easy 5650 xp.

None of these comments are very helpful in actually finding the guy. The one by Fateofall just got me lost. Easiest way was to go in via the FARTHEST RIGHT (on the map) cave which you can only access by jumping down on top of it from the rim of The Cauldron. Fight your way past all the guys, veering towards the right until you reach a dead end (sometimes there is a rare mob at this dead end). Go to the LEFT, jump down twice, you should see the question mark on your minimap by now. If not, well, he's the dwarf lying down in the very middle of the cavern.

Where is the entrance to the cave... Sorry don't mean to sound dead headed but i have looked everywhere and even thought there was something wrong with my account so i asked a GM. lol, And he said he couldn't help me or give me hints.

Comment by 30187

okay, the EASIEST way into the area where the guy is is to drop down the shaft thats to the right of the camp below thorium point (on the right with your back to thorium point). Then, move to your left, killing things as you go. Pretty soon, you'll see the question mark on your mini map, that's you dood.

Comment by statikuz

Alrighty so the easiest way to find this guy:

1. Go to the second cave from the left on the map.
2. Take the elevator there all the way down to the ground.
3. Go in the cave entrance right by the elevator.
4. Go left around the lava pool and go through the gate to your left.
5. Now pretty much go straight northwest - you'll end up in the big room where Obsidion is and he's laying in the middle.

Note that "Dying Archaeologist" belongs to the Booth Bay faction. This means that if you have grinded rep with the Bloodsail Buccaneers (presumably to get the Blood Parrot) you normally can't do this quest.

Comment by kimsey0

For all those with a coordinat addon 41.5, 54.0 is the coords for the entrance to the cave.

Comment by 122668

These guys are part of the Booty Bay faction, therefore if you are a Bloodsail Buccaneer (or just hated by BB) you will not be able to complete this quest.

Comment by Mydge

My goodness, an entire post of useless messages. Mostly cos the caves are -circular-....

I went in the cave at 41,54.

Go left and up over the 'bridge' and you will see a door to your left. Go through that. (Quarry Gate)

Follow pretty much the only way you can go, which is in a vaguely NE direction on your minimap.

Fight through 5 or 6 mobs (if you go through the very middle of the pathway). - Careful with these dwarves, they are stout bastards even as a 49 warrior.

You will then walk into a big cave and see the bloke on the floor. Big dead stone statue in the middle of the room.

Took about 5 mins killing time.

Comment by 322122

I have NO idea where you people got your directions from...Mydge was dead on.

Second cave from the left on the map. In to the left. Through the gates on your left. Follow around until the room opens up; he's in the middle.

No elevators. No jumps. Just...opening a gate.

Counts toward Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms

Comment by kyle46

You can't turn this in if you are at war with Booty Bay.

Comment by 415506

The real fastest way to him is by jumping down from a hole (35.2;42.7) onto a huge stone brick and jumping down again heading NE (North-East). At (40.6;30.1), facing NE, you will see a ledge made of metal leading up, the Dying Archaeologist is left from the ledge, in the middle of the room.

Comment by Izarri

FYI if you are hated by the gobblins, you cannot do this quest. >.>

Comment by Thottbot

the marking on the map for the dying archaeologist is a little confusing. you actually go into the 2nd cave from the left, in the cauldren and go further in until you find him.

Comment by Thottbot

More notes here: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=51217

Comment by Thottbot

He is behind the locked gate in one of the caves in the Cauldron - you can get a key from killing the mobs near the gate.

41,25

Comment by Thottbot

41,25 confirmed he lays on the ground

Comment by Thottbot

Follow the other directions to fall into the hole at the Slag Pit. Walk north/northeast until you're under Thorium Point on the map. You'll see a big opening with a pink glow leading into the cavern where he's at. There's a helpful yellow question mark guiding the way.

Comment by Thottbot

If you want a faster way to get the Dying Dwarf in the Cauldron, from Thorium Point just head towards the Cauldron. Along the way you'll find a shaft with a crane lowering a big slab of concrete down. Drop down on the slab of conrete and go in the direction opposite the Cage door (cage door is in view)

Comment by Thottbot

1. Look on your Map, walk to the edge of the cliff to the crane that has a chain going into the Cauldron chasm..it is near the "C" of the word "Cauldron" on your map.

2. Drop onto the iron work and then down to the path. You will be in front of the most Eastern cave (the "first" cave).

3. Enter the cave, killing as you go. Cross the iron bridge and enter the room.

4. As you enter this room, you will see the red glow from two exits. One to your left, and one straight ahead. Go directly across the room. Do NOT enter the doorway to the left (which contains Overeer Maltorious and his henchmen).

5. Exit the room via the doorway directly across from the way you entered; go down the ramp. The Lost Archeologist is in the center of the room at the bottom of the ramp (to your left).

Comment by Thottbot

The cave is the one at 49,44. Best way to get there is to go to 48,41 and jump down. When you're at the cave the guy you are searching for is at 41,25. Enemies inside the cave are level 46-48. Hope this helps.

Comment by Thottbot

just did this with my lvl 44 shaman...just drop down on the "lamp" or whatever ir is hanging from a chain into the hole just south of thorium point, then follow the corridor that goes northeast (only way you can go without entering the gate)
then just keep going until you see the yellow dot on your mini map...
as i said i did this at 44 and killed at most 15 lvl 45-48 mobs...
easiest 5650 xp ever.

Quest obtained in Ironforge. Quest executed at Searing Gorge.

One entrance to the Slag Pit is through a square shaped hole in the ground at 35,43.

If you jump carefully you will land on a square slab of stone, and from that you can carefully jump to a number of stone columns (each one shorter than the last). You should reach the ground of the slag pit without damage. If you miss the first stone slab you will take quite a bit of damage and be attacked as you hit the ground.

Once you survive getting into the Slag Pit, head north. It is a lot easier since the last patch. The slaves don't seem to be as aggressive. But they will attack you if you attack one of the guards near them.

The dying archeologist is near a tiny alter with candles at 41,25.

At level 49, this quest was green for me but I still got 5800 xp and 275 rep points with Ironforge, as well as the next quest in the chain.

Thanks to all of you who provided helpful directions.

There is also a benefit for lockpicking rogues. There are footlockers all around the slag pit. My skill was 236-245 and the picking skill of the boxes was yellow for me.

Comment by Thottbot

IF YOU ARE JUMPING DOWN

Jump from the side with the vent pipe. If you jump from the other sides, you'll jump over the lamp/crate/whatever it is, and take about 2K damage from the fall (and probably aggro one of the mobs at the bottom).

Comment by Thottbot

You cannot complete this quest if you are hated with Booty Bay because for some damn reason the dying dwarf is a Booty Bay mob (look under his name). Just letting people know as i was standing in Slag pit wondering why i could attack this guy.

Comment by Thottbot

hmmmm Dwarven Justice is a hard quest.. it took me ages to do it but someday i will...Some day!..xD

Comment by Thottbot

YEeeesss i finished Dwarven Justice! Woot

Comment by Thottbot

Little warning, if you are at war with booty bay, you can't do the quest til you are no longer at war. Found out the hard way

Comment by Thottbot

I can't get the quest from the dying archeologist guy

Note: I am not at war with Booty Bay but i am unfriendly with them.

Comment by Thottbot

Wait so he isn't in the mountains? i have been going up and down the mountains for ages! That is a waste of time. It looks like he is in the mountians on the map but he is actually in the cauldron apparently :O

Comment by Allakhazam

They are UNDER the ground! The entrance of cave is in Cauldron area of Searing Gorge.

Comment by Allakhazam

You will find him here " Dying Archaeologist " or just click on "Related Mobs"

Comment by Allakhazam

The location of the guy is correct, but he's inside a huge cave. The entrance is at 49, 45. Just jump down, and take the first on the right. Follow the hallway and go left at the end. There's Obsidion and the Dying Archeologist.

Comment by Allakhazam

After a LOT of running around in the Gorge, I found I had to go to the map coords listed at 41,26 and kind of fall off the cliff onto the twisted platform below. This platform leads to two cave entrances, the lower one is for the whateverasaurs quest where all go to kill off the mobs for gaining reputation with the Thorium Brotherhood for all those slick plans and recipes.

You cannot get to this platform from the Gorge floor. You can get close, but, no cigar.

The upper entrance is the one you want, just follow it and stay to the left when you cross the bridge. To the left is a small entrance to the huge cavern where Obsideon the dying archeologist lay.

Comment by Allakhazam

Please realize most of us don't have whatever addon offers coordinates, it's great that you showed it for those that do, but please, also give directions for those of us that don't.

Comment by Allakhazam

I dropped down the rabbit hole like RealTrueBrit suggested. Other than an Ironguard aggro there was no problem. I followed the left wall and when you enter the big cavern where the ramp is you can see the quest NPC on the ground in the center. I walked right up and finished this part of the quest. Hearthed out. :) Thanks Brit! :)

Comment by Allakhazam

Ok, so the whole corrdinates thing. I do not use them, or can I? How do i find people using coords?

Comment by Allakhazam

Comment by Allakhazam

41,25

Comment by Allakhazam

They are at 41,26 inside the cave but u see em when u follow allodox directions

Comment by Rightesnous

OKAY
What You need to do that go down from light master by the road and heading straith to the north. There is a HOLE on the ground. You have to jump down on the platform and thats it! You are in the right room! Make some steps and complete the quest.

Comment by irishlord

i missed the thing on the chain and was down to 3 percent health. A dwarf attacked me and i had to drink a health pot. No one mentioned its a 10 story fall.

Dwarven Justice

Return to the Searing Gorge and find Dorius's archaeology unit.

Description

There is an empty, vacuous hole, where my heart used to be, <name>. The loss of Dorius is not one that I will soon recover from. I must see his final wish through - the perpetrators of this cold blooded murder must be brought to justice.

Return to the Searing Gorge and fulfill his last request: Free his men. The Dark Iron dwarves force their slaves to work in a sweltering mine called the Slag Pits. Search there for Dorius' men.
