The Skeletal Hand
Navigate the Reanimated Hand to the end of the hall and activate the Corroded Lever.
- Help Balmedar animate the hand
- Open the cells [53.7, 61.9]
- Speak with Balmedar in the Vault of Souls.
Description[]
It takes but a simple act of necromancy to animate a hand. Unfortunately, since you will be in closest proximity, you must be the one to command it.
When you are ready, I will reanimate the hand. Once you have control, use it to pull the lever at the end of the hall.
Couldn't be simpler, right?
Rewards[]
You will receive:
- 25
74
- 9,450 XP
Progress[]
Just use the hand to pull the lever. You can handle that, right?
Completion[]
We have no time to lose!
Notes[]
Move to the marked spot by the cell gate and use the bonus ability to gain control of the Skeletal Hand:
Animate Hand — Hold the skeletal hand outside the bars so that Balmedar can animate it.
- Balmedar says: The lever is at the end of the hall.
- Balmedar says: You may need to be a bit clever finding a path to reach it.
The lever is out in the hall off to the left, but it's fairly high up. Balmedar can't help but to backseat:
- Balmedar says: Try scaling those shelves to reach the lever.
Additionally, a Bleak Skitterer spider traverses a chain that crosses the room at camera height, and falls off to the ground to make itself more noticeable.
Jump up the three sets of shelves, follow the spiderweb up to the chandelier, jump over to the other web leading down to the top of a bookshelf. Jump over to the other bookshelf, then jump on to the chain, cross the last bookshelf and the last spiderweb to reach the lever. Interact with it causes the cell doors to open and automatically causes you to stop controlling the hand to return to controlling your own body.
- Balmedar says: Well, you did it! I never doubted you for a moment, of course.
Head into the neighboring cell to turn in to Balmedar.
In case you decide to abandon the quest while outside the cell, a Lichsworn Guardian appears.
- Lichsworn Guardian yells: It's Kel'Thuzad's prisoner!
- Lichsworn Guardian says: Back in the cell for you!
