Death Gate is a Death Knight ability that allows the Death Knight to open a gate to Ebon Hold on a 1-minute cooldown.

The Death Gate appears to be an actual physical gateway, similar to a mage's portal. All Death Knights in the same party may use a portal created by any of them. The portal does not work for any other class.

Death Gate is a quest reward from N Death Knight [8-30] The Light of Dawn (or B Death Knight [10] Defender of Azeroth for Allied Race and Pandaren death knights), and will initially send you to Acherus in the Eastern Plaguelands. After obtaining your first artifact, it will instead transport you to the version of Acherus floating above the Broken Isles.

Notes[]

  • This ability cannot be cast during combat, but an existing death gate can be used during combat. It may be planned preemptively to use this as a "just in case" getaway when attempting something difficult for your level.
  • Using the death gate once again to leave Acherus will teleport the death knight to the graveyard closest to their departure point.
