Adventure Guide[]

A powerful elementalist with a natural affinity for shaping and channeling his powers through metal, Gor'ashan was part of the Iron Horde vanguard in their initial invasion of Azeroth. He bides his time waiting for further orders by attempting to unravel the secrets of the Dark Iron runes left behind by the Spire's creators.

Overview[]

Gor'ashan stands atop a pedestal, and occasionally calls upon Power Conduits to shield himself during the battle.

Strategy[]

Engage Gor'ashan on the central platform. When two rune conduits arrive along the surrounding floor below, two players should concurrently jump down to destroy each by clicking on separate ones. A single player could destroy one after another, but the task will be completed faster with two players which prevents Gor'ashan from casting Thunder Cacophony.

Loot[]

Item Type
Inv hammer 17 [Petrified Willow] (H · M) Strength two-hand mace
Inv rod adamantite [Gor'ashan's Lodestone Spike] (H · M) Agility trinket
