Where is opening the dark portal in wow

The usually quiet portal temporarily became a hub of server activity when a quest [60] Into the Breach associated with the World Event " The Dark Portal Opens " took place there. Going through the Portal, like accessing the blood elf and draenei starting areas, once required the The Burning Crusade expansion pack to be installed; since patch 4.

Prior to this, when a player tried to enter the Dark Portal without having that expansion pack installed, the player would simply pass through to the rear side and get a notification reading "Burning Crusade Expansion Pack Required". A player used to need to have a character of level 58 or higher, but this is no longer a requirement. If the Expansion Pack was installed, but the character is under level 58, the player used to get "Must be Level 58", but now players are able to access the region at any level.

The 'Travel hubs' section below includes directions for reaching the Dark Portal before level See the Stair of Destiny for information about the other side of the portal. The final patch before the release of The Burning Crusade 2. Invading Felguards and invading Voidwalkers began to pour through the dark portal, and the camps in front of the portal were manned by Argent Dawn defenders.

The leader of these forces offered the quest Into the Breach. This quest simply involved killing six of the invading Felguards due to number of people fighting for these kills. Completing the quest earned you the [ Tabard of the Protector ] , a special version of the [ Tabard of the Argent Dawn ]. When used, the Tabard produced a visual effect similar to [ Holy Nova ] , and the wearer would flex. Lord Kazzak also vanished from his former place in the Blasted Lands to take up his new residence in Outland.

His vacated office was taken up by Highlord Kruul. Not content to sit in a hole in the Tainted Scar , Highlord Kruul would periodically lay siege to major cities and other areas, summoning demon minions and killing everybody in sight until driven off. From either base, players may then ride down the main road down to the Portal crater. With patch 3. These portals require level 58 to use and will deposit the player into a crack in the crater in front of the portal. Alliance and Horde portals all drop players in the same location; though players will be Honorless Targets for thirty seconds following their arrival in the Blasted Lands, players on PvP servers will not be completely safe from combat until they reach the Stair of Destiny on the Outland side of the portal.

Every time the rift between Azeroth and Draenor has been widened, it has been seen to have a large, stone-carved facade that lends it a well-defined rectangular shape. This frame serves to stabilize the rift, allowing it to stay open for extended periods. When Medivh first opened the original Dark Portal, it consisted only of a magical rift. The stone frame was built by the first orcs who came through it from Draenor. It was destroyed at the conclusion of the Second War by archmage Khadgar of the Alliance of Lordaeron.

However, as of the release of Chronicle Volume 2 and its account of the portal's creation, these depictions are canonically inaccurate. As seen on the cover of The Last Guardian. As seen in the The Burning Crusade.

Alternate model, as seen during a flashback in Warcraft III. The undead faction's special " Demon Gate " building was used for the Dark Portal in this sequence. As seen in Warcraft II. The Portal was later reconstructed when the orc chieftain Ner'zhul , in search of powerful enchanted artifacts with which to open yet more portals, reopened the rift from Draenor and sent his forces back to Azeroth.

As had been done with the first portal, the Horde built a physical frame around the rift, creating a new Dark Portal that could remain open permanently without needing a constant influx of power. Though the second Portal's frame has changed little in the years since it appeared, the rift it contains has changed color multiple times.

Both before and after the Destruction of Draenor , during which Khadgar severed the connection between Azeroth's Dark Portal and its sibling on the Draenor side, the rift appeared blue. Many years later, its hue shifted to a green color when the demon Lord Kazzak used an unknown artifact to restore this connection and pass through to Outland. Finally, it took on a shade of crimson red when its connection to modern Outland was preempted by powerful magic that instead linked it to a past, alternate version of Draenor.

As seen in World of Warcraft before patch 2. As seen in The Burning Crusade from patch 2. Burning Crusade Classic key art. As seen in Warlords of Draenor after patch 6. It is interesting to note that as imposing as the Dark Portal is, it is significantly smaller and less ornate than its counterpart, the Stair of Destiny.

It's unknown what the potential ramifications of this size discrepancy are, though it might be this way for gameplay reasons as the Azeroth portal was implemented in Vanilla and looks like how it did in Warcraft II , while the Outland one was implemented in The Burning Crusade. Both versions of the Stair of Destiny featured larger, more detailed versions of the hooded guardians that adorn Azeroth's Dark Portal, and replaced the upper image of a striking serpent with full, intricate carvings of a dragon's head and two claws.

They were further embellished with all manner of runes and stonework on the front, side, and even rear faces, in contrast with the relative plainness of the Azeroth Portal.

While Outland's version of the Stair is by no means pristine, with large chunks of stone and other features likely knocked off the structure during the cataclysmic events of Draenor's destruction , the alternate Draenor's newly constructed version of the Stair lies in ruins following the counterattack to the Iron Horde Incursion. Of all the various incarnations of the Dark Portal, whether in Azeroth, Draenor, or Outland, the only one to ever be seen under construction is the alternate Draenor's Stair of Destiny.

The Horde preparing for the first invasion of Azeroth as seen in Lore in Short. Hellfire Peninsula in Chronicle Volume 3. The Stair of Destiny can be glimpsed far in the distance. Destroyed in the background as seen in Lore in Short.

The Dark Portal as a warlock card in Hearthstone. Invasion of Outland in Chronicle Volume 3. Once the portal was opened, the land became a waste land. The Infinite Dragonflight is attempting to travel back in history and alter the timeline which is where you come in, you need to prevent them from preventing Medivh from opening the portal. If Medivh doesn't open the portal, history will be changed forever and untold damage will be done to the fabric of time.

The dungeon is simple, you need to stop eighteen waves of attack, on every sixth wave, a boss will spawn. Whilst some trash looks deceptively low, the actual dungeon elites aren't so easy, you can avoid the non-elite creatures. There are three bosses in total with Aoenus, a large dragon being the main boss. In this dungeon, you are able to gain rep with the Keepers of Time and can be either faction. Once all the bosses are complete, the Portal will open and the Orc s will come through.

It used to be a required dungeon for the Karazhan raid attunement quests but that is no longer the case. I really hate this dungeon. And Blizz does absolutely nothing to help. No clue what caused this bug i did nothing different, but now it appearantly did work. This topic was automatically closed 30 days after the last reply.
