The battle

Prelude

Tyrande Whisperwind fell in the River Arevass when holding back a horde of approaching undead on a bridge, Tyrande was washed away by the river deep into Silverpine Forest.[2]

Maiev reconvened with Malfurion and told him that she had seen Tyrande "torn apart with my own eyes". Driven mad with grief, Malfurion led a furious assault upon Illidan at the Ruins of Dalaran after having seen a vision from the local spirits that would destroy the world if not stopped. Illidan was defeated and lamented his loss. Before Maiev could execute him, Illidan told Malfurion that he was attempting to destroy the Lich King, to which Malfurion stated that he had killed Tyrande attempting to do so. Illidan was caught by surprise by this accusation, but Kael'thas Sunstrider chimed in and told Malfurion that Tyrande might be still alive as she was simply swept down the river. Realizing that Maiev had duped him, Malfurion immediately released Illidan and bound Maiev. Illidan proposed that they work together to save Tyrande. Malfurion agreed and the two began exploring the River Arevass to see where Tyrande was. Malfurion was disgusted with the presence of the naga and asked Illidan how he acquired their services, to which Illidan replied that it would be better not to talk about it.[2]

Battle

They discovered Tyrande and a small number of Sentinels, who had jumped into the river after the mistress, in Silverpine Forest.[3] They were being attacked by the Scourge and, although the fight seemed hopeless, the women built a small camp and stood their ground.[3][2] An air rescue was impossible due to a large undead air force that was flying around. Illidan insisted to Malfurion that he be the one to rescue Tyrande, as he and his Naga could move quickly down the river to her position if Malfurion could hold the Scourge off for long enough. Malfurion agreed to this plan, and the brothers moved into position.[2]

Illidan and his Naga moved down the river as the Scourge pressed hard against Malfurion's Forces, who contended most of the attack to Tyrande and her Sentinels, however, Tyrande was also hard-pressed by another undead group. Illidan discovered that the river had been dammed by a group of forest trolls called the Shadowglen Trolls; his forces massacred the trolls to destroy the obstruction. The Scourge units were assaulted from the south and were taken by surprise by Illidan's Naga, after defeating that base he marched north and destroyed the undead base that was between him and Tyrande. Meanwhile Malfurion destroyed a base of the Scourge and hold up against another base who sent numerous undead against him.[2]

Upon destroying the main Undead base responsible for the attacks on Tyrande, he arrived to rescue her. At first, Tyrande thought that he was there to kill her personally, but learned that he and Malfurion had worked together to save her.[3] Illidan created a portal through which he and Tyrande escaped,[2] while their forces fought a way free between the Scourge and joined with Malfurion's Forces.[3]

Tyrande and Malfurion were overjoyed.[3] Malfurion admited that, if Illidan had not aided him, he wouldn't have been able to save Tyrande.[2] Illidan then travels to Outland, just as Maiev arrived and accused the two of letting a criminal walk free. Tyrande attempted to talk Maiev out of it, but Malfurion stopped her, telling her that Maiev became vengeance herself, and prayed that in her zeal she wouldn't cause more havoc than Illidan doing so.

Notes

Malfurion-Illidan Item Exchange

The spot in which the two exchange items.

  • The mission is easier if Malfurion's Forces destroy the orange Undead Scourge base, as you can concentrate almost completely on Illidan, with just a few flyer units going against Malfurion's base.
  • Tyrande will never die, the time doesn't matter in this mission.
  • Malfurion's force can't reach Illidan's side of the map, nor vice versa. The green Undead Scourge base can't be reached by either force.
  • Maiev's and Magroth the Defender's items from the past mission will be dropped in Malfurion's base.
  • While Illidan and Malfurion can't actually enter each other's sides of the map, there is a place near the bottom of the map where they can get close enough to each other to exchange items. Since Illidan's final inventory in this mission will carry over to when he appears as a player-controlled hero in the final two missions of the next campaign, Curse of the Blood Elves, the best possible items (including the Shadow Orb originally found by Maiev) should be passed to him before the last red building is destroyed.
    • Before being able to exchange items, Malfurion's forces must destroy the orange undead base and Illidan's Naga must destroy the bottom green undead base.
    • For a better chance at getting the exact spot to exchange items the trees near the edge of the cliff must be removed. This can easily be done through the use of Malfurion's Force of Nature.
  • Furbolg Huts are used by the Sasquatch.
WC3Reforged-icon This section concerns content related to Warcraft III: Reforged.
  • In Reforged, the scene in which the rocks automatically break now has turtles destroying them.
