Previous quest: Enemy of my Enemy http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10396

Comment by 704

There are a lot of mobs patrolling the area, and you can avoid most by staying to the Western side.

Arix'Amal (53,26) will drop the Gate Key, which you'll then need to use to shut the gate just a few meters away (53,27).

Comment by 9160

Besides the key, Arix'Amal also drops Burning Legion Missive(It looks like a note/envelope) that starts quest The Dark Missive.

Comment by 11835

A word to the wise...this isn't easy...dont try to solo this if you are under 61 and don't have a lot of health pots...even with evading as many as possible, you will aggro at least half a dozen mobs getting to the boss and they respawn very quickly...and have non predictable patrol patterns...good luck!

Comment by 33445

I took out Arix'Amal without any problems.. didn't get under 60% health and i didn't even use my adrenaline rush..
i am lvl 60 combat rogue and it's not because of any imba gear.. i got lvl 60 after TBC so really don't have any epics or anything

did not get any adds while fighting him

Comment by Kadreal

Did this as a level 58 frost mage, i killed adds around him, then just whipped up my Water Elemental, he died in about 20 seconds.
Real easy quest :) can almost be called free exp :þ And when he fell down, i dinged :) 59! :D

Comment by Eldariel

Be sure to take out all the adds first before closing down the portal. There's one mob inside the portal that you must kill first then quikly disable the portal and hearthstone out of there or fight your way back to the quest giver near the first burning legion camp that you had to destoy. Be carefull though: These mobs respawn fast! Good luck!

Comment by WARBOSZ

The Burning Legion Gate is north of Thrallmar - exit to the east and go north past the various demons. It's much easier to get to Warbringer Arix'AmalStick if you stick to the right side (with the mountains - east side) because you can avoid the MKI cannons.

Mobs spawn fast and there's lots so don't linger too long.

Kill Warbringer Arix'Amal to obtain the Burning Legion Gate Key. He is located behind (north) of the actual Burning Legion Gate. You have to then grab the key and go back to the south side of the Burning Legion Gate (it's the glowing thing in the centre which the other towers are feeding magical energy to.

Comment by 42868

Very easy for a level 60 Warlock Demo build. My advice is just clear the camp all around him and pull him towards you. Good luck!

Comment by Innervate

Pulled him standing really close to the burning legion gate and got 1 add, which wasn't too much of a problem. He does a flame attack that hurts if you stay there so I'd suggest you clear the area a bit so you can move during the fight. Got a letter than started The Dark Missive (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10395) from his corpse.

Comment by 49582

arix is at 53 26

Comment by 45703

In case you get lost on the same thing I did; to close the gate in question, you'll need to use the key (right-click on it) on the glowing sphere in the middle of the gate structure. So you never actually activate the whole gate or anything, just the core of it.

Comment by 72738

I suggest going from the mountain side which is left of him keep walking killing everything that attacks until you reach him.
He has two servants on each side of him, kill the one on your side thats blocking your way to him.
Then pull him away from his spot and kill him because you don't want his respawn to attack you :P seriously it does happen and it's not impossible.

Comment by 36178

This quest was extremely difficult as a lvl 60 Warrior!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be very careful if you are about to die...get to the edge of the mountains

Comment by viejo

This appears to be bugged as of right now. He respawns less than 10 seconds after you kill him. I killed him and his servants once, and right after I looted him he respawned. I killed him again, and poof there he was again. He killed me the third time.

Comment by 31800

That guy had a damned EVADE bug when I tried to kill him. Had to pull him 3 times to finally kill him. Use the "key" INSIDE the gate ... there's something floating inside the gate that you have to activate the key on. The guy you kill drops the key you use on the gate ... 1-2-3.

Comment by 36035

I had the evade bug as well. I had to keep him very close to his starting area to kill him. He has low hp though so not too bad.

Spawn rate on mobs round him is insane....

Comment by 94232

For me the hardest part was closing the portal. It's worth mentioning that once the key is obtained from Arix, there is a circular shaped thing floating on the southern side of the portal. This is where you must click to complete the quest.

Comment by 58647

As a rogue you can stealth up to Warbringer Arix'Amal and kill him as quickly as possible. Then loot him quickly and vanish. After that, stealth walk to the gate and use the key. Easy.

Comment by jessicasanders

until he unleashed his fire attack and laughes while he roasts you to a crisp :)

Comment by morieris

just a warning ... I killed Arix extremely fast (before he even had time to cast his fire attack), but while I was killing him a servant joined in as soon as I had killed the servant Arix had already respawned (approximately 15 secs for me) so get in and get out quickly

Comment by 35072

This is easily one of the hardest non-group quests in the game, imo, for several reasons:

1) Extraordinarily high mob density leading towards the named mob. Trying to run past anything is pretty much suicide since there are few places that are clear enough to lose aggro in.

2) Very fast repop rate. 5 minutes at most for the normal mobs, no more than 2 on the named mob. Don't get caught off guard here, if you die or stall in your clear you'll probably have to start over. I remember one time I did this on my Warlock and I approached from the south (cliff) side and got stuck in a continuous battle where mobs repopped as fast as I could kill them until I died.

3) Lots of patrols, and annoying ones at that. Rather than simply respawning, a lot of the mobs will spawn in the portal in the base and move back to their normal spot or route. This means that there's a fair chance that mobs will get in your way as you try to shut off the portal even if you've cleared the entire area.

4) A couple trash mobs path over to the named mob... and then stay on top of him for quite a while. Either you have to wait it out (a minute or more) or fight two or more mobs at once... assuming they don't evade bug, which they can. Seriously, whose idea was it to make patrols that stand on top of the named mob for a long time, and then move? Either make them tied or don't, don't make people wait forever when there's a short respawn timer as is.

5) There are several mobs around the portal that will path by it and aggro onto you while you try to shut it off. Also, shutting it off can be difficult because even if you know that you have to click and where you have to click, you need to be at the right camera angle in order to click and not have the game think you're trying to click on something on the other side of the portal. Very annoying.

Comment by 1299

Soloed as a 61 resto shammy. Just take your time clearing (including the patrols) and it's not all that difficult. Also, don't go into the gate to use the key when that patrol is inside it, sometimes it's hard to see if he's in there or not.

Comment by 102269

Did this as a lvl 60 warrior grouped with a 61 druid.

Many mobs, just hop on your mount and ride until you get to the final camp. Once there your target is obvious, kill until you get to him. Commanding shout and retaliation are a good combo here, and will bring him down fast.

Once done with that there is a gate that is similar to what you encountered in previous quests. Go there and click on the gate key then on the floating emblem thing in the middle. Then hop back on your mount for the quest turn-in. Easy as pie.

Did this as a 58 pally. Take my word for it, it sucks.

Comment by 181167

I Was Finding Some Very Interesting... Everybody who have played World Of Warcraft Aka wow Know that a Spawn time is Minium 1 min. about .. But ...Warbringer Arix'Amal Is about 30 SEC. To spawn i was seeing it when i was killing him when i have killed he's Gaurd's and him, then he was spawning again and he gaurds to :O... Was fighting an then Feighn Death ( Hunter ) xD... So After killing him then Be fast to loot And Run to the Burning Legion ( which is the portal almost in front of him )

GL TO ALL :D

Comment by dadadumdums

always walked on the right side , didnt have any problems, quest is not easy, and after i completed it a just mounted my swift horse and run out of there and no problems

Comment by 236430

Patch 3.0.1, this mob will "evade", drop aggro and run back to his stop only after moving from about 10 yards from where he is. VERY ANNOYING, you will probably reset him a few times and yell in frustration before being able to kill him.

Watch out for the Fire spell he casts, very painful, and clear a safe path to him (i suggest you hug the mountain side until your close enough from him.

Comment by 264523

I did it with a lvl 61 Rogue- stealth in and wait by the gate in front of Arix'Amal. When the goons aren't around, sneak behind him and garrote, and make sure to use evasion as well. By the time he was low on health, I had two goons on me as well and just barely killed Arix'Amal. Then I used Vanish- and barely survived. Once I had restored my health I took out the gate and got out of there. Good luck to all the other Rogues out there!

Comment by Tasogare

Confirming this guy spawns ridiculously fast. In the time it took to drink half a pot after killing him, he spawned, then spawned a third time after rezzing the warrior I was grouping with, and finally spawned a fourth time after shutting the gate down and trying to leave. His buddies all spawned nearly as quick too. With just the two of us I was amazed I, at least, made it out alive. Him? Not so much!

Comment by 336610

Come in from the east, stay to your right, along the mountain on the east side of the objective, I rode past a lot of the mobs, and found a few "cubbies" to wait in. Easy that way, not so much killing involved.

Comment by 343569

Soloed as a 61 subt rogue, was pretty hard it took me a pot and 200 hp left XD

I thought it was going to be way easier, but he brings alot of adds, just cleanup the place then u should be ok

Comment by 335007

just remember the bad guys are all around LVL 60 to 62 so if you are lower than that or at that LVL you will agro more of them, i did with a 64 DK and didnt agro much, then did with my 62 lock and they were all over me. run in and run out.

Comment by Powdercake

I thought this was exceptionally easy as a 61 arms warrior. Stick near the edge of the cliffs to the north as you enter the camp until you are aligned with Arix'Amal and then go south to kill him and unlock the gate.

The key has the same icon as Anchorite Relic and appears in your normal inventory.

Don't get confused like I did and think that you didn't get the key.

Comment by 338012

just completed as a lvl 62 warrior incredibly difficult due to spawn rate..after you obtain the key and if you are about to die try to die beside the portal...res complete the task by right clicking key in bag and then green disc floating in portal and hearthstone out

Comment by 389790

His damn spawn rate is INSANE lol. I killed him moved over to fight another mob and he respawned on top of me.

Comment by Tertius

Not worth even trying solo until you're in the high-60's. I sat in the gate as a ghost and watched the mobs as a couple of DK's did their thing. I timed the respawn to just under 2:30 for the servants. Enough that they can all respawn in the time it takes you to run back from the ally graveyard.

Two things that really ticked me off was:

The patrolling razorsaw will walk into the gate and stand there for a little over a minute before he turns around and repeats his patrol.
There was a sister of grief that stood right at the entrance to the gate (where the clickable node) is for 10 MINUTES! I kid you not. Btw, the animation for those mobs is pretty funny. She does a lot of checking her nails, and once in a while does a little booty shake. Probably waiting for her starving helboar playmate to arrive.

Comment by GigantorTX

I just ran this as lvl 64 Ret Pally. I used my flying mount to drop into the very back of the plateau, used Hand of Reckoning to pull individuals. I had one Servant come with Arix'Amal, killed them both, then used the flying mount again to drop inside the gate. Took all of 2-3 minutes. You just have to be careful and not run in guns blazing.

Comment by 343107

Just tried this as a 59 feral druid, and whether it was a result of over-zealousness or just plain brutality of the quest, I couldn't avoid getting 3 mobs from the start clearing the way to him.... and then a 4th, and a 5th, you get the picture. I have never cursed so much in my life. No amount of self-healing would save me. Definitely clear as many beforehand as possible if you're <60.

Comment by ShinChuck

Did this as a L61 Retribution Paladin. Just need to focus on picking off the mobs around him and the gate (including the ones patrolling), take your time, and grab the key and hit the portal. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Comment by 146544

Just so there will not be a surge in new mouses being bought because of this quest. After you kill WARBRINGER_ARIX'AMAL who drops the key (stone), go into the transporter, the key will go into your bag, do not put it on your hot bar. In the transporter you will see a green ball floating between the deck/floor in the transporter and the green crystal above your toon, with your cursor make an arch from your toon to the green crystal above. When the cursor changes to a GEAR, click it ONE TIME. One click only! Then the transporter starts to shutdown, when complete you get credit completed. Click on your flying mount and get out of there. Then relax, drink a coffee and be happy. I was doing this with my Priest-Shadow level 60. Level up.

Comment by Devor

Did this 1st time out as lvl 63 Combat Rogue, but it was tough; all the warnings of the mad respawn time are bang on the money - I had to kill the boss 3 times in total before I got enough time to loot the 1st body. Of course, then I Vanished out of there, Stealth & slunk away!
Thanks to all those warnings, I was prepared; laced my blades with poison, Stealthed in right up to the boss, waiting for the razorsaw to clear out of the entrance, then Sap & Backstab for openers, Blade Flurry for the supporting cast, & Healing potions on standby - I used 3 Major healing potions in all, due to that nasty flame attack.
Good luck everyone.

Comment by sagsco

This guy is at 53/27 in Outland. Fly in, land RIGHT in front of the the green gate in front of the Warbringer. And yes, this mobs re spawns FAST. Take him down; fly up and get your butt out of there, then after he re spawns, come right back down and right click of the misty medallion in the gate. When you are done there, fly up and home to the quest giver. Quick, easy. but you do have to have a flying mount to do it this way.
