Location: Inner Kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, Northrend
Moments later, within the Inner Kingdom …
MAIN QUEST
The Old Kingdom
– Locate the exit of the Old Kingdom
– Arthas and Anub’arak must survive
The ice cracks, and horrific noises erupt from the depths of the Old Kingdom. Though the horrors within this place are fierce you must fight your way through to the exit. Let nothing stand in your way.
Anub’arak: Wait—towers on either side are rigged to fire bolts of frost. This hall way is a deathtrap.
King Arthas: Can’t we disable them?
Anub’arak: The circular hatch in the far wall is an aqueduct plug. If we can open it, the water might flood the firing mechanisms and disable the entire trap.
King Arthas: Gold! We should take this with us!
OPTIONAL QUEST
Find the Gold Stashes
– Find the five gold stashes (1 of 5 found)
Gold Coins have been hidden throughout these underground chambers. Find them for an increase of your gold coffers. This would be useful the next time you require gold to sustain and build your forces.
King Arthas: That’s done it! let’s move.
Ahead, Arthas and Anub’arak reach a icy chamber with few living Nerubians.
Nerubian: Look, brothers! The traitor king!
King Arthas: Who, me?
Anub’arak: He is referring to me, death knight. These nerubians will stop at nothing to destroy us!
After slaying all the nerubian spiders, in the back of the chamber is discovered the missing Crypt Fiends that were fleeing from the Dwarves. They were captured by the Nerubian Spiders as the Dwarves closed the gate to the Inner Kingdom behind them.
Crypt Fiend: Thank you, great one. The rebel spiders captured my comrades as well! They’re being held in a nearby chamber. Release them, and they will be yours to command.
OPTIONAL QUEST
Rescue the Crypt Fiends
– Find and release the Crypt Fiends
The rebel spiders captured several Crypt Fiends. They’re being held in a nearby chamber. Release them, and they will be yours to command.
As they approach the next chamber, the Nerubians rise the alert!
Nerubian: Slay the intruders! Death to the servants of Ner’zhul!
Anub’arak: The eggs of our young are incubated within those breeding pods. There’s no telling how many vicious hatchlings they hold.
King Arthas: You were right—they’re definetely hostile! We’ve got to destroy the breeding pods!
Anub’arak: We could also seal the doors to shut the hatchlings in!
After slaying the nerubians and sealing the hatchlings behind door mechanisms, Arthas, Anub’arak and the rescued cadre of Crypt Fiends go on their way through the Inner Kingdom toward the exit. When suddenly, tendrils came off the floor …
King Arthas: What the hell are they?
Anub’arak: They are the horrors the dwarves spoke of. I thought they were only legends.
King Arthas: What?
Anub’arak: They are the Faceless Ones …
They destroyed as many tendrils as possible, only to find the Faceless Ones holding prisoner the remaining cadre of Crypt Fiends.
OPTIONAL QUEST COMPLETED
Rescue the Crypt Fiends
They ran through the corridor, knowing the exit just lied beyond the next chamber, when suddenly, Anub’arak stopped in disbelief, observing what lied before them.
Anub’arak: It cannot be … A Forgotten One. Look to your defenses, death knight! Fight as you’ve never fought before!
MAIN QUEST COMPLETED
The Old Kingdom
MAIN QUEST
The Forgotten One
– Kill the Forgotten One
– Arthas and Anub’arak must survive
Bursting forth from the ice, an unfathomable horror of a long forgotten time has emerged to block your passage. Destroy it and break free of the Old Kingdom.
After a very long and hard battle, Arthas, Anub’arak and their Crypt Fiend forces destroyed the horrid Forgotten One. Immediately, hordes of Faceless Ones came out of the depths to chase them.
Anub’arak: We cannot take them all! Hurry, death knight—up the stair well! Hurry!
To World of Warcraft fans wondering … the screenshot below resembles the last boss of Ahn’Qiraj instance (40-players Raid): The Forgotten One.
