Walkthrough & Notes

After defeating the Cursed Stones, right-click the door to reach Drugât and Nerzus. Both Drugât and Nerzus will attack simultaneously. Nerzus will flee when he is at about half morale. Note: If you kill the stones before Arvaethor says "I wonder how we can open the gate" (or something along those lines), he can get stuck and the fight with Drugât and Nerzus will not trigger. You will need to exit the instance, cancel the quest and pick it up again after the cooldown timer has expired, to restart the instance and have another go. Avoid Area of Effect damage skills when fighting the troll and the Dead Archers, try to lure them away from the stones so you don't accidentally attack one of them. Attacking one of the stones will cause the instance to glitch out.

Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue "Arvaethor, a man with great passion for his home, would risk his life for the Vale. You have requested to join him on this dangerous errand into the hall of Nimrond." Background Arvaethor asks for you to follow him to the very heart of the caverns, deep inside the mountain. Objective 1 Speak with Arvaethor Arvaethor must survive You should speak with Arvaethor. Arvaethor: 'The Ruthless Dead have begun to amass their forces, for what purpose, I know not. Many will die if they march out of the Vale, under cover of these darkened skies. We have made it this far. Perhaps we stand a chance of slaying their leader and leaving their forces without command. 'Come, let us brave the darkness together.' Objective 2 Delve to the deepest chamber of the caverns of Nimrond Arvaethor must survive Delve to the deepest chamber of the caverns of Nimrond. Arvaethor says, "Quickly, this way!" Arvaethor says, "This hall looks ancient." The Hall of Nimrond stands before you, crawling with the Dead Objective 3 Destroy the dark stones to gain entrance to the inner hall of Nimrond (0/4) Arvaethor must survive Destroy the dark stones to gain entrance to the inner hall of Nimrond. Arvaethor says, "Brace yourself! This troll taunts us!" Enraged Cave-troll says, "Puny filth!" Enraged Cave-troll says, "I'll smash you into tiny pieces!" Enraged Cave-troll says, "Stand still!" Arvaethor says, "There must be a way to unlock the gate." Destroyed dark stone (4/4) Objective 4 Defeat Drugât and Nerzus Arvaethor must survive Drugât and Nerzus can be found in the innermost chamber of Nimrond. Defeat Drugât and Nerzus, leaders of the ruthless dead and Orkish forces. Arvaethor says, "Onward!" Arvaethor says, "Let our blades do the talking." Arvaethor says, "We are not here to negotiate, vile spectres!" Ruthless Warrior says, "For Drugât!" Ruthless Warrior says, "For Drugât!" Ruthless Warrior says, "For Drugât!" Ruthless Warrior says, "For Drugât!" Nerzus shouts, "Neither are we." Nerzus says, "How are you defeating our best warriors?! Nerzus says, "You, <race>, have foiled our plans one too many times." Nerzus says, "Shall we destroy them Drugât?" Drugât says, "Silence Nerzus." Drugât says, "A great power has called us away from our land." Drugât says, "It is a slow journey as we dead are not accustomed to travel." Drugât says, "However, the darkened skies ease the way for my people." Drugât says, "Our conflict is not with your pathetic Vale, yet you persist, interfering with my affairs." Drugât says, "That is why I shall show you no mercy in the pain I cause you!" Drugât says, "I see fear in your eyes." Nerzus says, "Why do you persist?!" Nerzus says, "You'll not defeat me this time! I shall take to the west!" Drugât says, "You will see defeat on this day!" Drugât says, "I shall see this confrontation until the end!" Drugât has been defeated Objective 5 Speak with Arvaethor Arvaethor must survive Speak with Arvaethor. Arvaethor: 'Drugât had strayed far from redemption. I doubt we shall see him wander among the living again.' Completed: Instance: A Ruthless End Arvaethor: 'Come, let us return to Ethring.'
