Any one else feeling a ToTP 3 reference here or is it just me. But when Highlord Darion Mograine says “I can see as clearly now as the day that I plunged the Ashbringer into my own heart to free my father's cursed soul” it feels like the scene from the movie when Mograine said that the only way the sword could be purified was if he was killed by The Ashbringer then he and his killer would fuse together and the blade would go on.

No.

ToTP 3 is fan-FICTION, not actual Warcraft lore

Check your spell book, you have a Death Gate now which you can use to return and turn in this quest.

Highlord Darion Mograine quest complete for pull

Comment by DonSleza4e

Simple returning to Acherus doesn't work here - you have to return to it by using Death Gate spell

Comment by CrittinRogue

hey when i accepted this quest, i cast Death Gate, and i couldnt talk to Highlord Darion Mograine... i abandoned the quest and i still couldnt talk to him, can some1 plz tell me why this is happening?

It is possible to walk back and take a bone griffon to get back to Acherus. In this case you can runeforge your new blade before fighting with Patchwerk. When you are done runforging, simply open the Death Gate, click on it and continue with your quest chain.

This allows you to skip going back to Acherus from Stormwind/Ogrimmar for runforging and jump straight to the Dark Portal instead.

Per usual, completely confusing, no way to know iof it's broken or just lauaghably poorly designed. I have no idea what this thing is asking me to do or how to tell if it's messed up or working correctly. Deathgate, huh, what? Maybe a little detail on what that is and how it's *supposed* to work?

300 vs 10000....hmmm i encountered about a dozen enemy in this little campaign....i aggrod one of the bosses and ended up dieing once...got field rezzed by the flying dude and the battle continued to a cut scene with the lich king showing up, going on his rant and running off saying " this isnt over yet." the quest shows complete... i tried the death gate, nothing...i tried to summon mount, nothing...i ran back to deaths breach, noone there...the highlord is standing there at the chapel with a yellow question mark over his head and won't talk to me....i tried to abandon quest, won't let me......ARRRRGG...a simple quest FAILED would be nice at this point so you could reaquire and try again.....

When I was going to do this quest for first time (on private)...
I thought something like this:
"Holy f**k, how am I suposed to do that?"
Yeah, I died few times, but it wasnt that hard..
after two years of not-playing wow, I made a new dk.
....I thought the same damn thing.

Today, I somehow managed to hearth out of the DK starting area and into Stormwind before finishing the starting quests. I was on this quest, but couldn't interact with any NPCs and couldn't use my Death Gate ("can't do that while pacified").

In order to return to the Ebon Hold area to finish my starting quests, I had to ride from Stormwind east to Redridge Mountains. There, the flight master at Lakeshire was friendly and intractable to me, and I was able to take the flightpath back to Acherus: The Ebon Blade.

Thank goodness for that because I was just about to delete this toon and make a new one...

Taking Back Acherus

Use your Death Gate spell to return to Acherus: The Ebon Hold. Report to Highlord Darion Mograine once you arrive.

Description

The haze has been lifted. I can see as clearly now as the day that I plunged the Ashbringer into my own heart to free my father's cursed soul: my last memory as a free man.

We must take back Acherus from the Scourge if our order is to survive in this new world. I have taught you how to call forth a death gate. The death gate will return you to Acherus when you call upon it, <name>. Use it now and meet me at Acherus. The first battle of the Knights of the Ebon Blade is underway! Death to the Scourge!
