Arixan’s Horde Leveling Guide – Mt Hyjal (80-82)

Aug
30


Introduction/Notes
This guide will cover the Horde quests in Mt Hyjal. I will cover 100% of the quests in the zone. Please note that this is based on a play through of the BETA version of the zone. Things can and probably will change. I will do my best to maintain the accuracy of the quests and objectives until finalized in the live version.Everything in this guide can be done solo unless I specifically state otherwise. All of the level 80+ zones in Cataclysm make very heavy use of phasing as you progress through the zone. Be aware of this if you are trying to get a group for anything, as they may not be in the same phase as you are.

You will need to be able to use a flying mount in a couple places in this zone. You have been warned.

I will add coordinates to the guide once Blizzard allows for the use of addons in the beta realms.

I highly suggest you make use to the built-in quest tracking on the world map. I will describe as best I can where the NPCs and quest objectives are, but the objective tracking on the in game map will show you precisely where to go in most cases.

Please post and feedback, errors, or suggestions as comments.

During the next steps, watch out for a giant core hound named Smolderos the Carbonizer, a level 82 Elite that patrols through the area.

9. Enter the Twilight Gauntlet just to the east. In this area, you need to kill 8 Twilight Instructors, which are the fire elementals wandering around.

Before you accept the follow up, let me explain what you will have to do. As soon as you accept the quest, Mylva will summon a Blazing Trainer. You need to run away from the trainer for 1 minute without leaving the camp. He does not move very fast, but if he catches you he can hit moderately hard. So be ready to start running when you accept the quest.

26. Accept Agility Training: Run Like Hell!. When you have completed the quest, return to Instructor Mylva and turn it in.

27. Accept Mental Training: Speaking the Truth to Power.

28. Use the Orb of Ascension. You will be asked 10 yes/no questions. The questions are simple and the answers are VERY obvious.

51. Fly over to Doom’s Vigil. You will find a podium all the way at the back of the camp. Click on it to start the event.

During this event, you will have to use 3 abilities depending on the crowd’s mood. These abilities are: Inspire, Incite, and Pander.

The members of the crowd will say different things depending on their mood. Wait until a random crowd member says something, then use the abilities as follows.

Use Inspire if the crowd says…

* Yea… I don’t know about this.
* I’m not quite convinced.
* *yawn*
* Meh.

Use Incite if the crowd says

* Kill!!!
* Kill them all!
* Blood!
* Raaahhh!!!!
* Death!
* Crush!

Use Pander if the crowd says

* It’s like… it’s like the void just touched my mind.
* The end is nigh! The end is a new beginning!
* Immalanath, yasoth nalarub!!!
* I hear the voices!

Once you have made the correct choice 10 times, the crowd will riot, allowing you to rescue Jarod Shadowsong. Speak to him to turn in Graduation Speech. Accept Twilight Riot.

4. Fly back to the Gates of Sothann. Talk to Commander Jarod Shadowsong and turn in Slash and Burn.

5. Accept Might of the Firelord from Jarod Shadowsong and Secrets of the Flame from Cenarius.

6. Speak to the green dragon Althera to get the flight point.

7. Fly west to Ascendant’s Circle. Kill 4 Flame Ascendants and 5 Twilight Subjugators.

8. You should have looted a Pure Twilight Egg from one of the Twilight Subjugators you killed. If you do not have it yet, keep killing Twilight Subjugators until you get it. Click on it to accept the quest The Twilight Egg.

Until I can get coordinates for the three items, the best I can tell you is look all over the camp. They are not terribly hard to find. I’ll add the coodinates as soon as I can.

9. Go to (?,?) and get The Burning Litanies.

10. Go to (?,?) and get the Tome of Flame.

11. Go to (?,?) and get the Ascendant’s Codex.

12. Fly back to the Gates of Sothann.

13. Turn in Might of the Firelord at Jarod Shadowsong. Accept The Sanctum of the Prophets

14. Turn in Secrets of the Flame to Cenarius. Accept The Gatekeeper.

15. Turn in The Twilight Egg to Aronus. Accept Brood of Evil.

16. Fly back to Ascendant’s Circle. Kill a Young Twilight Drake and loot his skull for Brood of Evil.

17. Fly to the camp north of Ascendant’s Circle. Kill everything you need for The Sanctum of the Prophets.

18. Find Azralon the Gatekeeper in the northwest end of the camp. Make sure you are at full health/mana. Attack him and immediately use the Horn of Cenarius to summon Goldrinn and a group of druids to help you kill him.

19. Once he is dear, click the “Quest Complete” notification to turn in The Gatekeeper. Accept The Firelord.

20. Return to Aronus and turn in Brood of Evil. Accept Death to the Broodmother. Also turn in The Sanctum of the Prophets and accept Magma Monarch.

21. Fly to the matriarch’s feeding ground just southwest of Ascendant’s Circle.

22. Use the Young Twilight Drake Skull to summon Desperiona. Kill her to complete Death to the Broodmother. Aronus and Aviana come to help so don’t panic when she appears.

23. Fly to the charred area southwest of Sulferon Spire. Find King Moltron. Land near him and use the Drums of the Turtle God to summon Tortolla. Kill King Moltron to complete Magma Monarch.

Note: The next quest is, as of this writing, severely over-tuned, to the point that a 5-man group would have difficulty completing it even though it is not a group quest. I was able to get it done with a lot of help, but it should be adjusted by the time Cataclysm goes live. If not I will adjust the description of the quest to indicate that you need a group.

24. It’s finally time to fight Ragnaros. Fly to the flamegate just past where you fought Azralon. Enter the portal and speak to Cenarius to start the battle. Malfurion Stormrage and Arch Druid Hamuul some to help out as well.

Once the battle starts, Cenarius will hold threat on Ragnaros, while Hamuul and Malfurion cast spells on him that cause Ragnaros to take 2000% increased magic and physical damage.

Every 30 secods or so, Ragnaros will submerge and summon a flame wave. Once the flame wave passes, Ragnaros will summon adds that attack Malfurion and Hamuul. Alternate between keeping the adds clear and DPS’ing Ragnaros until he dies.

Once he is finished off, go back through the portal to be teleported back to the Throne of Flame.

25. Fly back to the Gates of Sothann and turn in Death to the Broodmother, Magma Monarch and The Firelord . Accept The Battle is Won, The War Goes On.

26. Take the flightpath to Orgrimmar


This is the end of my leveling guide for Mt. Hyjal. At this point, you can now follow the breadcrumb quest you picked up to continue into Deepholm. Or you can go to the other 80-82 zone, Vashj’ir.

I hope this guide was helpful to you, and that you enjoyed reading it. Feel free to leave any feedback in the comments below.

    Quest name changedMay not be called Aviana’s Legacy, but Wings Over Mount Hyjal,  same giver and turn-in though.  Apparently, the name changes depending on quests you’re taken before, but both quests are just breadcrumbs taking you to the shrine of Aviana.

    Correction on general direction to Shrine of Aviana47. Yserra will appear in front of you. Accept in Aviana’s Legacy from her. Also accept The Fires of Mt. Hyjal from Rio Duran.Shrine of Aviana 1. Mount up and fly Northeast to the Shrine of Aviana.Correction needed in Step #1 in Shrine of Aviana section.  Direction from Vision of Yserra and Rio Duran in Step #47 of prior section to the Shrine of Aviana should be Southeast.  Not a big issue given the quest turnin icons appearing on the map in WOW now, but pointing out because it was the first issue I encountered and have followed the guide in detail.  Well done!

    Changes from my Run-throughThe end of the Hyjal series has changed a bit from when you wrote your guide.

    [i]8. You should have looted a Pure Twilight Egg from one of the Twilight Subjugators you killed. If you do not have it yet, keep killing Twilight Subjugators until you get it. Click on it to accept the quest The Twilight Egg.[/i]

    You now get this quest directly from an “egg” object in that camp.

    [i]19. Once he is dead, click the “Quest Complete” notification to turn in The Gatekeeper. Accept The Firelord.[/i]

    This no longer happens. Instead Cenarius gives you “The Firelord” after you have completed all the other quests. So basically after step 23 you would go back, do all your turn ins and then you can receive it.

    24. I had no issues soloing the Rag event with a Moonkin in Hyjal quest gear. It wasn’t easy but I don’t think I ever got close to failing it either. In any case I think they’ve fixed the balance here.

    Your guides make the add-on work super super easy. I’ll be using them during live as well so thanks very much for making them! 😀 😀 😀
