Notes[]
- On accept
- The Lich King says: Fly now into the north. Find this glacier... and your destiny.
Upon reaching the northern edge of Icecrown:
- The Lich King says: Continue north, Deathlord, into the blizzard.
- The Lich King says: And hold tight to your reins.
Stage 1: Uncharted Territory[]
- Find the Frozen Sapn before feral undead overwhelm you.
- Frozen Span found
- The Lich King says: It is here... I can feel it. Your supplies have likely frozen. I sense feral undead buried in the ice. It seems the time has come to test your will.
- The Lich King says: Of course, should you fail to survive, know that I shall claim Acherus for my own. Arthas may have sought revenge on the citadel, but I have... other plans.
You have the Freezing Fog debuff and will frequently come under attack by Feral Ghouls, so quickly run north to the Frozen Span. You also won't be able to use any food to heal yourself, so you'll have to rely on 
[Death Strike] to heal yourself up.
Stage 2: The Frozen Span[]
- Cross the span to Kyranastrasz' Rest.
- Kyranastrasz' Rest found
- The Lich King says: You are getting close. I can sense the spark of life ahead of you. You will bring decay to this lost place.
Once you enter the Frozen Span area, you'll no longer be harassed by Feral Ghouls, can eat and/or drink, and be able mount up. Continue traveling mostly north to reach Kyranastrasz' Rest.
Stage 3: Essence of the Red[]
- Slay undead to collect the red dragon's essence.
- Red dragon's essence collected
- The Lich King says: I sense many feral undead nearby. They have been feeding on its life energy. Take it from them. Slay them all.
Kill the Feral Ghouls, Revitalized Ghouls, Revitalized Monstrosities, and Revitalized Skeletons until the Essence of the Red tracker bar at the bottom center of your screen is filled. The player also has two Essence of the Red buffs, one of them gaining stacks as you kill the undead.
Stage 4: Life to Death[]
- Convert the life essence to unholy essence
- Life essence turned to death
- The Lich King says: You have stolen the dragon's life energy. Now, bend it to your desires. Pervert it with your darkness.
Use the special action button "Life to Death" to blight the life energy.
Final Stage: Unholy Resurrection[]
- Use the unholy essence to raise your dragon.
- Dragon reanimated
- The Lich King says: I can feel the unholy energy surging within you. Raise the dragon and claim it as your own.
Go to where there is a deep crack in the ice (denoted by a ?) and turn in the quest. Upon turning in, a short cutscene plays out where the character raises the dragon, reminiscent of the Wrath of the Lich King cinematic.
