Recommended Posts

ggzfJKx.jpg

Tyrande's Ascension is a new scenario available in Patch 8.1, where players unlock Night Warrior customization options for Night Elves. Proceed with caution. Spoilers ahead!

The following article contains 8.1 story spoilers that involve major characters. Click here to leave the article.

Tyrande's story continues in Tides of Vengeance, as players help her transform into the Night Warrior.

TL;DR

  • Tyrande embarks on a mission to become the Night Warrior in Tides of Vengeance.
  • Night Warrior is the incarnation of Elune's wrath. The ritual is very risky, because almost nobody was able to complete it.
  • Tyrande blames Elune for not helping the kaldorei during the Burning of Teldrassil.
  • Nathanos aided by two val'kyr raises Delaryn Summermoon (who died in Warbringers: Sylvanas) and Sira Moonwarden as Forsaken and flees the scene.
  • Alliance kill one of Sylvanas' val'kyr (Brynja).

For more details about Patch 8.1, check out our Tides of Vengeance hub.

Tyrande's Ascension Highlights

You meet with Maiev Shadowsong and Shandris Feathermoon in Stormwind Keep to discuss Tyrande. She left for Darkshore ahead of the Alliance army and intends to wrest it from the Horde herself. Her ship was last seen near the Zoram Strand.

Upon arrival, you kill Forsaken Rogues and search the area to recover

Quote

Shandris Feathermoon: She intends to invoke the ancient rites...

Maiev Shadowsong: The ritual will kill her! We depart for Darkshore immediately.

Now, you're able to queue up for the Tyrande's Ascension scenario.

Stage 1 (In Teldrassil's Wake) - Take the rowboat to the Ruins of Auberdine

Quote

Maiev Shadowsong: Champion, with me. There is little time.

Maiev Shadowsong: We will not leave Tyrande on her own behind enemy lines. Move!

Shandris Feathermoon: What ritual do you speak of, Maiev? Who is the Night Warrior?

Maiev Shadowsong: She is the incarnation of Elune's wrath. Even witnessing the ritual to become her would put our lives at risk.

Shandris Feathermoon: And the only life Tyrande wishes to risk is her own. Elune watch over her.

Sira Moonwarden: Elune... was she watching over us as Teldrassil burned?

Shandris Feathermoon: We must not lose faith inthe goddess. That is just what the Horde wants.

Maiev Shadowsong: Sira, you scout the shoreline while the rest of us head inland. We will find Tyrande and meet you at Lor'danel.

Maiev Shadowsong: Elune be with you, sister.

Sira Moonwarden: ...As you command!

Stage 2 (Elune's Gaze) - Help Maiev and Shandris search for the Eye of Elune in the Ruins of Auberdine

Now you come across Massacred Horde Grunts that were killed by Tyrande.

Quote

Shandris Feathermoon: What happened to them?

Maiev Shadowsong: They tried to stop her.

Maiev Shadowsong: Tyrande seeks the Eye of Elune. It was last kept here in Auberdine.

Shandris Feathermoon: This was once a place of joy and laughter. Now... only silence and death remain.

Shandris Feathermoon: This way. I was stationed here many moons ago.

Maiev Shadowsong: The Eye of Elune must be in the hunter's hall. Push forward.

Stage 3 (Cornered!) - Defeat Bilegut and survive the blight!

You're party is ambushed by Forsaken forces and a commander. They use blight against you.

Quote

Maiev Shadowsong: We are too late.

Deathstalker Commander Belmont: Ah, but you're just in time! The Banshee Queen has a keen interest in your heads, night elves.

Deathstalker Commander Belmont: Make it quick! I have a forest to blight.

Defeat Bilegut to proceed to stage 4.

Quote

Deathstalker Commander Belmont: It's so hard to find good help these days.

Deathstalker Commander Belmont: Blight it.

Maiev Shadowsong: Stand back.

Shandris Feathermoon: You'll die!

Maiev Shadowsong: Ash'al theradas!

Cowled Plaguebringer: Defeated... by the likes of you...

Cowled Plaguebringer: She... will rule... forever...

Maiev singlehandedly slaughters all the Forsaken attacking your party.

Stage 4 (A Cry for Help) - Investigate the screams

You find a wounded Kaldorei Huntress laying on the ground.

Quote

Shandris Feathermoon: Your strength has grown, sister.

Maiev Shadowsong: Vengeance is a powerful weapon.

Shandris Feathermoon: Wait, do you hear that? Survivors!

Shandris Feathermoon: Andu-falah-dor!

Shandris Feathermoon: Sister, are you all right?

Stage 5 (No Elf Left Behind) - Rescue the kaldoei prisoners in the Withering Thicket

Plenty of Horde soldiers are present in Withering Thicket. You must now rescue prisoners and free Ash'alah.

Quote

Maiev Shadowsong: We will tend to her wounds. Free the others!

Stage 6 (Closing In) - Ride Ash'alah to Bashal'Aran

You learn more about the Night Warrior ritual on your way to Bashal'Aran.

Quote

Shandris Feathermoon: Ash'alah! Where is Tyrande?

Maiev Shadowsong: She has cast everything aside. Only the final rite at the Well of Purity remains.

Shandris Feathermoon: Ready yourselves, sentinels! The High Priestess requires our aid.

Shandris Feathermoon: Come, champion. Ash'alah can bear both of us easily.

Shandris Feathermoon: Maiev. What makes this ritual so dangerous?

Maiev Shadowsong: Legend says that long ago, Elune bestowed her fury upon our greatest warriors to secure Kalimdor.

Maiev Shadowsong: In a sacred ritual, the strongest among them became her avatar--the Night Warrior. Our victory was swift.

Maiev Shadowsong: None who have attempted the ritual since then have survived. Elune's raw power tears them apart.

Shandris Feathermoon: There she is!

Stage 7 (Zenith) - Defend Bashal'Aran and help Tyrande complete the Ritual of the Night Warrior

Tyrande attempts to complete the Ritual of the Night Warrior and you must fend off Horde waves that try prevent her from completing it.

Quote

Tyrande Whisperwind: Elune! Your people loved you! Yet you watched, distant and aloof, as they died in torment!

Tyrande Whisperwind: I served you for millennia. But tonight, I do not come as a maiden, mother, or even priestess.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Now, I will serve you only if you grant me justice!

Stage 8 (The Night Warrior)

Activate the Eye of Elune to complete the ritual.

Quote

Shandris Feathermoon: The ritual nears completion. Champion, unleash the Eye of Elune!

Tyrande Whisperwind: In'a shul daElune!

Tyrande Whisperwind: Kul erath shul, Kul erath shin.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Ash rokh ilisar! Anu'dorini ash'ka!

A not yet implemented in-game cutscene plays and Tyrande successfully transforms into the Night Warrior.

Quote

Tyrande Whisperwind: The Horde shall tremble... as our darkness falls.

Stage 9 (Nowhere to Run) - Hunt down Nathanos Blightcaller

Tyrande says Teldrassil burned, because she decided to spare Saurfang's life.

Quote

Tyrande Whisperwind: Maiev, Shandris. Prepare our forces for war.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Champion, with me. Nathanos Blightcaller lurks nearby with two of the Banshee Queen's val'kyr.

Tyrande Whisperwind: We will kill them all.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Teldrassil burned because I chose to spare Saurfang's life.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Countless innocents were murdered. Entire families erased in moments.

Tyrande Whisperwind: The time for mercy is over.

Next, you arrive at Ashwood Depot and it's infested with the Horde. Tyrande petrifies everyone with a single spell, but Nathanos is nowhere to be found.

Quote

Tyrande Whisperwind: Anu'dora!

Tyrande Whisperwind: He is not here.

Tyrande casts yet another spell that kills everyone but Deathstalker Commander Belmont.

Quote

Tyrande Whisperwind: I failed to protect my people, but I will avenge them.

Sputtering Fleshrenders arrive, Malfurion appears and kills them all.

Quote

Malfurion Stormrage: The earth itself will swallow you whole.

Stage 10 (Nowhere to Hide) - Find Nathanos Blightcaller

Quote

Malfurion Stormrage: Let us strike as one.

Tyrande Whisperwind: No. Wait for my signal before you attack.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Take Blightcaller. The val'kyr are mine.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Leave him to rot. He does not deserve a clean death.

You'll find Nathanos Blightcaller at Delaryn's Demise with two val'kyr Delaryn's corpse and Sira Moonwarden.

Stage 11 (The Queen's Pawn)

Quote

Sira Moonwarden: where... is she...?

Nathanos kills Sira Moonwarden with a single strike and the val'kyr prepare to raise Delaryn and Sira.

Quote

Nathanos Blightcaller: Now that we have the preliminaries out of the way, we can begin the ritual.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Blightcaller!

Nathanos Blightcaller: Well, this is inconvenient. Protect the val'kyr!

Tyrande Whisperwind: You will not see another sunrise, monster.

Nathanos Blightcaller: How uncouth for the... Queen of the Tree Elves, is it? No, I suppose that won't do... What exactly do you rule over these days?

Tyrande Whisperwind: I am no queen. I am kaldorei's vengeance.

Nathanos Blightcaller: You are nothing. Raise them!

Nathanos Blightcaller: Enough! Any last words, priestess?

Nathanos Blightcaller: Soon you will share the fate of your dear friend Sira... and the noble Delaryn. Reunions can be so... heartwarming.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Shal'karath!

Nathanos Blightcaller: You cannot hide from me forever, elf.

Tyrande Whisperwind: We do not stand alone. Now!

Nathanos Blightcaller: What?!

Malfurion Stormrage: Your end has come.

Nathanos Blightcaller: You are too late. Behold!

Tyrande Whisperwind: Champion, focus on the val'kyr! I will deal with this brute.

In the end, you'll defeat one of Sylvanas' val'kyr (Brynja), but Nathanos manages to escape and raise both Sira Moonwarden and Delaryn Summermoon.

Quote

Brynja: Rise! In the name of Sylvanas, the Banshee Queen, I bestow this gift upon you!

Tyrande Whisperwind: Never again. Ash thoribas!

Tyrande Whisperwind: You must fight the shadow in your hearts, sisters!

Brynja: No! Dark Lady... I am... sorry...

Delaryn Summermoon: We placed our faith in you.

Sira Moonwarden: And you abandoned us. Elune abandoned us!

Nathanos Blightcaller: Witch! You shall pay dearly for that. Let's move!

Delaryn Summermoon: We have nothing left. We are forsaken.

Stage 12 (Eyes of the Forest) - Return to the fleet and scout the Horde army.

Quote

Malfurion Stormrage: I will hunt them down.

Tyrande Whisperwind: No. Our forces gather. We will settle this another day.

Maiev Shadowsong: Tyrande, what happened?

Tyrande Whisperwind: Blightcaller yet lives, but at the cost of one of his queen's val'kyr.

Tyrande Whisperwind: The time has come to reclaim our home. Maiev, you will command our forces.

Maiev Shadowsong: You place much faith in me, given our... history.

Tyrande Whisperwind: We cannot dwell in the past... not with our very future at stake. Lead our people to victory as I sate the Night Warrior's wrath.

Maiev Shadowsong: Wait... Where is Sira? She is not with you.

Tyrande Whisperwind: She... Maiev, I must speak to you alone.

Tyrande Whisperwind: Champion, we fought but a fraction of the Horde's forces. I will share Don'thur's vision with you so we may scout them further.

Don'thur's vision is not available on PTR realms yet and this brings the scenario to a close. You will be granted the In Teldrassil's Shadow In Teldrassil's Shadow achievement and unlock Night Warrior Night Elf customization options.

So:

1) Tyrande looks...emo.   Sorry, there's no other way to look at that black eyed thing ?

2) More really incomprehensible logic.    "I spared Saurfang which led to Teldrassil burning"

...what?     Maybe Saurfang sparing Malfurion (in a really stupid argument) led to that, but killing Saurfang wouldn't have changed Sylvannas' path at all?    I mean, hell, it'd give her a great excuse for the tree burning for "honorable vengeance" for the orcs in her army after he spared Malfurion?

This reeks of whatever disconnect between the story and npc dialogue keeps happening...it's the same as Rexxar saying he joined the war because "Jaina, she's killed too many" (?!?)

One may question this as well - where were these powers when we were fighting Scourge, Old Gods or Burning Legion? So many threats, and Tyrande only uses them now to fight some undead human and elves.

Now that we've made up a customization option for Night Elves, can regular Dwarves get tattoos so we can fake being a Wildhammer?

Maybe some quest explaining that these two clans are working very closely together, so playable dwarves might come from any of these two clans. Probably not a material for allied race (since it's just same dwarf with tattoos, not visible with full armor anyway). I know, races like Lightforged draenei and Highmountain tauren fit into that mold as well, but then again, I was of the opinion that most current allied races should have ended simply as customisations for already playable races.

I cannot help it, but it feels like an anime.

A: "Hah, you are defeated because of the things we did."
A: *leaves*
P: "No, they have beaten us and we can never recover...."
P: "Theres only one thing left to do."
D: "Dont even think about it. You wont survive"
P: *leaves*
P: *several episodes of screaming*
P: "Time for a rematch, b****"
A: "No, how are you so swolo? But I havent lost yet..."
A: *screaming again*
P: *gets smacked around*
P: "No you loose because of our power of friendship."
A: *escapes*

I dont know but I feel like I know this from somewhere...

On a side note: Tyrande looks like the nun from the movie.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
