The Journey to the Black Temple
Black Temple is the pinnacle raid of Phase 3 in The Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary. To enter and challenge Illidan Stormrage for the coveted Warglaives of Azzinoth, every player must complete the legendary attunement chain to earn their Medallion of Karabor.
⚠️ The PUG Attunement Bottleneck
This questline requires killing specific bosses across Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep, and Mount Hyjal. Finding PUG groups that consistently clear these bosses without disbanding on trash is the primary obstacle for Phase 3 players.
Part 1: Shadowmoon Valley Solo Quest Chain
Begin by traveling to your faction stronghold in Shadowmoon Valley:
| Step # | Quest Name | Quest NPC & Objective |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tablets of Baa'ri | Pick up from Anchorite Ceyla (Aldor) or Arcanist Thelis (Scryer). Collect 12 Baa'ri Tablets. |
| 2 | Oronu the Elder | Kill Oronu the Elder at the Ruins of Baa'ri and retrieve the Orders from Akama. |
| 3 | The Ashtongue Corruptors | Defeat 4 Ashtongue Corruptors across Shadowmoon Valley. |
| 4 | The Warden's Cage | Locate Sanum in the secret cavern below Warden's Cage and speak with Akama. |
| 5 | A Secret Compromised | Return to your faction camp to confirm Akama's secret alliance. |
| 6 | Akama's Promise | Deliver Akama's Medallion to A'dal in the center of Shattrath City. |
