Archonisus

For the neutral quest of the same name, see [70R] Archonisus, the Final Gate.

Archonisus is the third and final of the gates guarding the Sunwell in the raid instance of Sunwell Plateau. It is found after M'uru has been defeated, and blocks the path leading to Kil'jaeden.

On the PTR, the three gates were opened by handing in a quest, although now they will open by themselves over time. Archonisus opened on US servers after an extended maintenance on May 20, 2008.

Problems with the Gate[]

In January 2010, many realms began experiencing a bug where this gate would remain locked after M'uru was defeated, preventing access to Kil'jaeden's chamber. The current solution to this bug is to petition the GM for a fix, post a request for help on the WoW forum thread about it, and have all raid members exit the instance for 30 minutes (raid members who log out inside the instance will prevent the soft reset from working).

Notes[]

Archonisus, The Third Gate is present in the Shrine of the Eclipse during [40-70] Remember the Sunwell and after the completion of [50-70] The Fall of the Sunwell. Unlike the second gate that is present in the scenario, it is not locked but it cannot be reached, with the exception of demon hunters and their double-jump.
