This is outside the cave. Use the inside teleport and take the path up the hill @ 40,35.

Comment by Schadow

This is in the Blasted Lands and is a follow-up of a quest.

This is on top of a mountain, with Shadowsworn mobs (so you know what path to take).

Upon doing the event, in this order mobs spawn and do a channeled damage:

1 mob
1 mob
2 mobs
2 mobs
5 mobs

They look the same like warlock pets.

This is very easy, except maybe the 5 mobs. They do a lot of damage, so you shouldn't let Loramus' Body's health lowers at the easy waves.

Comment by gameplayer13905

Ignore the rest of these comments. They're confusing a simple issue. Lets assume you've just left the cave of the quest giver. Turn right and run a short distance. You'll see a wide path leading up guarded by pairs of enemies. Kill them as you ascend.

Kill all the mobs at the top, then mount the altar and right click on it. Then get off the altar and start circling it. Kill each mob as it appears. Im a mage and I two-shotted all of them. Easy kills.

If you remain on the altar it is too difficult to get line of sight as they keep moving.

I lost Loramus once, then started circling the altar and it was very easy

Comment by zingar

why didnt we use this magic to resurrect Grom or someone else?

Comment by spriint

okay...all of these comments suck. The path starts at 41;35. Those without coords if you are looking at your big map the path starts just NW of Dreadmaul Post right below a cave. There are a few mobs on the way up but nothing you can't handle

Comment by Banerick

Tried this several times solo, failed miserably. Priest are slow killers, instead of killing the channelers hit them with your fastest cast & keep running, you stun them & they break the channel & come after you (I died @ the end but Lorumus was raised & waiting back in the cave for me

Alter is on the spine in the middle. If you have your camera at just the wrong angle (like I did) the alter will look like just another bone in the spine. When you get about half way up rotate the camera to the side and the alter is easy to see.

Comment by 791062

The altar is located in the center of the platform inside of what looks to be a rib cage. The altar is the same color as the rib cage so it is difficult to see. There is a bad guy standing next to the altar guarding it and the cog will appear when you mouse over it.

Once you kill all the bad guys click on the altar and the resurrection will begin. This causes more bad guys to spawn on the platform who then attack with lightning bolts to disrupt the resurrection. I tried several times to kill the attackers and failed, they spawned way too fast. Here is the trick to success. As soon as you start the resurrection, summon your mount and ride in a circle around the platform running over the monsters to disrupt their spells. This will draw their attention to you and they will then chase you around the platform. Just keep riding and eventually the resurrection will complete and then you can just ride off. Piece of cake once know the trick.

And you might want to change directions once or twice; you can get very dizzy doing it this way.

Thank you - the mount system worked like a charm for those of us who are slower on foot and spellcasting.

Comment by wannabeabear

Outside the tunnel you got the quest from there will be a path to the right with 2 Shadowsworn Enforcers. Take that path to the top and all the way back is the altar you need.

Comment by 290468

lol some of the most entertaining quotes i have ever read in the wow quest :

You... you fool! What have you done?
chose your reward...

lol

Comment by 810234

None of these make sense. I am very confused.
Please Help!

Comment by 634319

i did this as a lev 65 priest and it took several attempts. i found loramus didn't accept healing or protection spells, and there wasn't enough time to actually kill the attackers. the riding the horse around the outer edge of altar (don't get off the altar), running into whatever attackers you see, eventually worked. i had quite train of mobs on me by the end but my lev was high enough they couldnt even knock me off my horse. one thing lower lev priests could try is holy nova to attract more than one attacker at a time. i found i still had loramus's body afterword and the "gear" icon still showed, so you may be able to complete this part of quest chain more than once.

Comment by 634319

the symbols on above map arent correct. but you probably realize that if you are doing this quest chain, also the quest after this is actually "you are rakh'likh, demon!", not "time is short".

Comment by 617575

Go around the mountain and up the hill. The altar is in the middle of the rib cage. There's a small stone bench that is clickable. Click it, then run around the outside of the rib cage killing everything. I put my voidwalker on aggro and let him take care of everything.

If you fail, wait a minute and then the stone bench will be clickable again. After he's resurrected, he'll leave and head back to the cave. You don't have to escort him or anything.

Comment by Grizela

I tried the mount idea with a combat rogue, level 55 . It didn't work for me...the MOBS chased me, but enough damage got through and the quest failed. Finally I called upon reinforcements: my mechanical yeti. This worked perfectly. We killed the mobs very quickly.

Comment by 804679

The altar of storms is located just to the right of the outside bloodstone. Just follow the cliff and you will soon reach a path that winds upwards. You'll have to kill 5-6 mobs along the way to reach the altar.

At the altar itself, I found that you only need to kill the two mobs in front of the ramp, and the warlock on the altar itself to clear the way. The rest of the mobs will not aggro if you stay near the altar during the ritual.

On my lvl 58 goblin warlock, the best way I found to knock out the mobs attacking the body is to run around, shoot them with my wand, and pull them together and hammer them down at the same time. They die faster than the regular mobs, so they should not be much of an issue. The same goes for when the five of them pop up at the same time. shoot them to get them to stop casting, gather them all together, and AoE them down as best you can.

Comment by Alacrity

At 85, this quest was bugged for me the first few times I tried it. I'd mow down the mobs, Loramus would give the 'mission accomplished' dialogue, but the quest status would not update.

Tried a few more times before giving up and alting. Came back an hour later and the quest had reset enough to where it worked.

Comment by BigZZZ

I arrived here just as someone did whatever they did and i got credit for it! I dont know what they did because i didn't have to do anything myself!

Comment by 1075761

This quest may seem really confusing at first, but all you need to do is clear mobs until you arrive at Altar of Storms. There search for the Blood Altar and double click it (it's on top of the bones. Be careful, the Altar is the same color as the bones) Then just kill the mobs that appear, go back, deliver quest, and that's all folks

Comment by Sincerity

In demonic he says, "Holy Moley" and "This is horrible" I was in Dark Apothesis while doing the quest. Will submit a screen shot.

Comment by 1124037

This needs an update. All the directions are now wrong.

Comment by Himela

What you got to do, simple as that: you take the teleportation out of the cave. You start running a circle to the cave to your right and you see some hill with a road, you run uphill avoiding all mobs chasing you (no need to kill them, except if you want the xp), you arrive at the altar of storms and on these like bones there is a glowing grey item you need to use. Right click on it, Loramus will appear on it and then you got to protect him for like 2 mins. Kill the mobs that appear around him, they are only warlock's pets (one shot to kill) and tata....quest completed. Jump from the mountain to the teleportation thing, give in the quest and that's it.

Comment by 1286571

So, What i realized was that because i was a druid, the all so mighty one i ran all the way up and then there was a rare...So i was probably going to die, but i poped my CDs ( I was a boomy ) And then i killed everything. When i was done, the body died because i ran upto the altar and summoned him then started killing the adds. Instead of needing to redo it, i got the quest completed, not sure if this is a bug or not.

Comment by tacgnol

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but Demonology Warlocks in demon form can understand him during the ritual. One of the things he yells in demonic is "This is horrible!"

Comment by Rouzen

If you are trying to complete this quest as a level 90 and are having phasing issues due to the iron horde invasion do not despair! If you go to where the Blasted Lands butts into Swamp of sorrows, on a nearby hill there is an NPC named Zidormi. If you talk to her she gives the option to see the Blasted Lands before the iron horde invasion. Her coordinates are 48, 7

Happy hunting all :D

Comment by WoWGnGP

I made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)

Comment by shadowhunter4786

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that the altar is a nod to Warcraft II and III.
According to WoWWiki:

Altar of Storms refers to certain structures used during the Second and Third Wars. Orc warlocks in the Second War invented a method to grant intelligence and magical powers to their ogre allies. This method involved arcane edifices such as the Altar of Storms. The Alliance destroyed several such altars in the Second War. Altars of Storms were initially created by the warlock Gul'dan to channel demonic energies into ogre-magi. Altars of Storms were imbued with the corrupted power of the great Runestone at Caer Darrow. Only a few of the original Altars of Storms remain. During the Third War, many of the Altars of Storms were retooled by troll masons to channel shamanistic energy in order to revive fallen heroes.

Comment by taiya

seems bugged as of legion pre patch. even if youre in the correct phase everything still phases out as soon as you hit altar of storms and you cant interact with anything and there are no mobs.

Comment by Shebeast

It appears this quest is broken as of the Legion content patch, or perhaps before. I'm doing this on my level 100 Mage just to get transmog items from old quests and world drops. I picked up the quest, went to the location, and as soon as my map changes to "Altar of Storms" all the mobs disappear. This may be glitched due to the "Time Travelling" buff you receive in order to see the Blasted Lands before the Iron Horde invasion, but It's not working at all. Any suggestions?

Edit: As I was standing there trying to figure out what to do, I watched as a level 59 Alliance character ran in and was able to do it.

Comment by Magus2002

This quest is indeed, as of now, before Legion launches, bugged and uncompletable, due to Dalaran-over-Karazhan being present and dragging players into a different phase.. as you look up you can see it.

Comment by Tilra

If you do this as a Demon Hunter you can see what he is saying in demonic.
Parn rakir is "Holy Moley"
and Zila il amanalar is "This is horrible"

Comment by S1L3NTW0LF

59 Horde Warlock. Completed this today without issue... so looks like any Legion pre-launch issues affecting this quest (previous commenters) are now resolved.

Comment by Wowzir

The Altar of Storms

/way Blasted Lands 40.4, 35.8 Path to Altar

Note: the reference to the PATH being to the right of the location of the OUTSIDE Bloodstone Teleporter is rather ambiguous...
it could have been improved by stating the PATH is Right of the CAVE ENTRANCE when EXITING the cave.

;)

Comment by alohabr0ha

Entrance to the path that will take you to the altar is at 40, 36
