## Steps

The steps as the guide window shows them, in order. Goals marked with a race or class are only for that race or class; a step marked with a condition applies only while it holds.

### 1. Nostro's Compendium of Dragon Slaying

The book is a rare random drop from the bosses of all three Dire Maul wings (Alzzin, Hydrospawn and the rest of the East, Tendris, Illyanna, Kalendris, Immol'thar and the West, King Gordok and the North's guards) and very rarely from the tribute chest; it can be traded, so the auction house may have one. Dire Maul is a five-player dungeon in the ruins of central Feralas: needs a group of five. Right-click the book to start the quest; it stays in your bags.

- Accept **Foror's Compendium** from Nostro's Compendium of Dragon Slaying — from Nostro's Compendium of Dragon Slaying

### 2. Lorekeeper Lydros

Where: 59.2, 45.1 on the Feralas map.

Lorekeeper Lydros stands in the Athenaeum, the library at the far end of Dire Maul West, past the Court of the Highborne and the Prison of Immol'thar. The West door needs the Crescent Key, which Pusillin drops in Dire Maul East (he runs; chase him), or a rogue to pick it. Clearing to the library needs your group of five. He takes the book, hands you A Dull and Flat Elven Blade to give straight back, then the Unfired Ancient Blade. Keep that blade: lose it, and you must abandon the quest and take it again.

- Turn in **Foror's Compendium** at Lorekeeper Lydros — Lorekeeper Lydros, in the Athenaeum
- Accept **The Forging of Quel'Serrar** from Lorekeeper Lydros
- Turn in **The Forging of Quel'Serrar** at Lorekeeper Lydros — Lorekeeper Lydros: hand back the Dull and Flat Elven Blade
- Accept **The Forging of Quel'Serrar** from Lorekeeper Lydros

### 3. Onyxia's breath

Onyxia is the 40-player raid boss of Onyxia's Lair, a cave in the Wyrmbog of southern Dustwallow Marsh; she returns once a week. Tell the raid first. Late in the fight (around 10–15% health, when she has landed again) use the Unfired Ancient Blade to plant it in the path of her fire breath, usually by the main tank's feet. When her breath has heated it, click the Ancient Heated Blade to take the Heated Ancient Blade: from then you have 20 minutes. Her breath can kill you while you plant or pick up the blade; if you die and nobody brings you back before she dies, wait for next week. Planted in the wrong place? Abandon the quest, take it again from Lydros for a new blade.

- Use **Unfired Ancient Blade** — Unfired Ancient Blade: plant it in her breath
- Collect **Heated Ancient Blade** — click the heated blade on the ground

### 4. Onyxia's corpse

Kill Onyxia, then target her corpse and use the Heated Ancient Blade on it before the 20 minutes run out. It becomes the Treated Ancient Blade, with no time limit.

- Kill **Onyxia**
- Use **Heated Ancient Blade** — Heated Ancient Blade, on her corpse
- Collect **Treated Ancient Blade** for The Forging of Quel'Serrar

### 5. The Forging of Quel'Serrar

Where: 59.2, 45.1 on the Feralas map.

Back to Lorekeeper Lydros in the Athenaeum of Dire Maul West: through the West door with the Crescent Key again, and a group to reach the library.

- Turn in **The Forging of Quel'Serrar** at Lorekeeper Lydros — Lorekeeper Lydros: Quel'Serrar
