Razorfen Downs, the old quillboar capital in the far south of The Barrens that the lich Amnennar the Coldbringer now rules for the Scourge, gives four quests to the Alliance and five to the Horde, and three of them are shared: A Host of Evil from Myriam Moonsinger at the portal, then Scourge of the Downs and the Extinguishing the Idol escort from Belnistrasz inside. Alliance add Bring the Light from Stormwind, Horde add Bring the End and the An Unholy Alliance chain from the Undercity. Both Amnennar quests pay two rare items together, the Vanquisher's Sword and the Amberglow Talisman. The Group Finder lists the dungeon for levels 37 to 46.

Pickup order and the way in
- 1Sail from Booty Bay to Ratchet, or from Menethil Harbor to Theramore, then ride south through The Barrens.
- 2With the Thalanaar flight path in Feralas, ride east into Thousand Needles and come up the Great Lift instead.
- 1Fly to Camp Taurajo and follow the road south toward the Great Lift.
- 2Carrying An Unholy Alliance? Find Ambassador Malcin near the portal before the run.
The portal is hidden in the thorns on the southern rim of The Barrens, where it borders Thousand Needles: leave the road on its east side shortly before the Great Lift, with Razorfen Kraul on the other side. There is no key or attunement, and the meeting stone does not summon anyone; a Warlock’s Ritual of Summoning does.

Dungeons around it
Bosses
Tuten'kash
A gong in the Caller's Chamber calls him out. Clear the room, ring it, kill the whole wave of spiders, then ring again; he comes after the last wave. Face him away from the group because of Web Spray, cure the poison on the tank and remove Curse of Tuten'kash, which slows casting and attacks.
Mordresh Fire Eye
He dances on the Bone Pile behind a crowd of skeletons, and the last pack brings him along, so pull the crowd in small bits and save area damage for the end. Interrupt his Fireball and stay clear of Fire Nova; his armor is low, so melee burn him quickly.
Glutton
He patrols the lowest loop of the Spiral of Thorns. Pull him into a cleared stretch, keep ranged players out of his Disease Cloud and hold a defensive cooldown for his Enrage.
Plaguemaw the Rotting
He only appears at the end of the Extinguishing the Idol escort. Keep the waves off Belnistrasz, then hold Plaguemaw in place; his Putrid Stench stops spellcasting near him, so casters and the healer stand back, and cure Withered Touch on the healer first.
Amnennar the Coldbringer
The lich at the top of the Spiral, and the toughest fight of the run. Keep his back to the tent so Amnennar's Wrath cannot knock the tank around, keep the group stacked against Frost Nova, interrupt Frostbolt and switch to the Frost Spectres the moment he summons them.
Ragglesnout, a rare quillboar priest, is not up on every run. Interrupt his Heal first, then his Shadow Bolts, and be ready to cover if Dominate Mind takes the tank or healer. Henry Stern, held in the Murder Pens, teaches cooks Goldthorn Tea.
When a new Razorfen Downs quest turns up, it is added here as a card, with a line under Page updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Razorfen Downs quests can both factions do?
A Host of Evil from Myriam Moonsinger at the portal, and Scourge of the Downs and Extinguishing the Idol from Belnistrasz inside. Alliance also get Bring the Light; Horde get Bring the End and An Unholy Alliance.
What does the Amnennar quest give in WoW Forever?
Bring the End and Bring the Light each give every player the rare Vanquisher's Sword, plus a choice of the Amberglow Talisman or the Purified Ring that Forever added. Each needs Amnennar the Coldbringer dead, and the Horde one also needs his skull.
How does Extinguishing the Idol work?
Every player first finishes Scourge of the Downs by giving Belnistrasz his Oathstone back. He then walks to the quillboar idol and starts a ritual: hold the waves off him, kill Plaguemaw the Rotting and turn the quest in at the brazier he leaves, not to him.
What level is Razorfen Downs?
The Group Finder lists it for levels 37 to 46. Its quests open from level 28 (A Host of Evil, An Unholy Alliance) up to 39 (Bring the Light).
Where does An Unholy Alliance start?
With the Small Scroll Charlga Razorflank drops in Razorfen Kraul. Since the October 1 beta build a quest that starts from an item cannot be shared, so every Horde player loots their own scroll and takes it to Varimathras in the Undercity.
