Into the Oculus

Objectives
Talk to Archmage Khadgar when you are ready to travel to the Oculus.
 * Complete the Oculus Scenario

Description
I fear Kathra'natir is behind the attack on Meryl. We have little time to act. I suspect Archmage Vargoth's involvement is no coincidence. While it greatly pains me to destroy an archmage of his caliber and worse, someone I once called friend, we cannot permit his betrayal to stand unpunished. It is time to follow him into the Oculus.

Progress
Have you gone to the Oculus yet?

Completion
You have done the unimaginable,. We are all in your debt. I am proud to henceforth name you Archmage !

Stage 1: Falling Skies

 * Kill 15 demons
 * Destroy 5 legion portals

You will start out at the top center area of the Oculus (where Ley-Guardian Eregos would be if you were in the WotLK version). Deal with the nearby demons and legion portals before taking the arcane portal to the Band of Transmutation.

Make your way through the demons to close the legion portal and then move on to the next ledge. Rinse and repeat.

Stage 2: Center of Gravity

 * Take the portal to the center ring

Stage 3: Twisting in the Wind

 * Kill
 * Kill
 * Kill

The portal will deposit you near Fel Magus Mordriss, but far enough away that you won't aggro the eredar mob. It's here in the center of the band that you'll notice Archmage Vargoth floating in the center of the area, with the fel magi channeling fel energy into him.

Mordriss is the highest in level out of the three (at 114), but his health is also significantly lower. The other two should prove to be no challenge.

Stage 4: Archmage Vargoth

 * Question Archmage Vargoth

All you need to do here is chat with him.


 * I am forever indebted to you,.
 * I would never betray our cause, !
 * I would never betray our cause, !


 * I was gathering notes on the Nightborne Soulstone when I was contacted by an emissary of the Empyrean Society. When I arrived at their enclave, our old nemesis Kathra'natir was waiting for me.


 * He has been in my head ever since, controlling my every word and action.
 * Yes. It is Meryl he is after. He is using the Nightborne Soulstone and the power of the Nexus to drain Meryl of his power. Together you and I may be able to stop him.

Stage 6: Stealth Philosophy

Final Stage: The Soulstone's Power

 * Use the Nightborne Soulstone when Kathra'natir is below 70% health


 * say
 * say

The very first action to do here is Spellsteal Kathra'natir's Vampiric Aura, which will greatly increase your damage, haste, and grant 100% leech. As a result, the demon should only last long enough to cast Carrion Swarm once (which you should Counterspell).


 * Archmage Khadgar, Archmage Kalec, and Archmage Modera suddenly appear. They begin channeling Arcane Banish at Kathra'natir.
 * say
 * The mage adventurer activates the Nightborne Soulstone. Kathra'natir is forcibly drawn inside the magical artifact.
