Tyrande Whisperwind: I cannot go back.
Elder Watcher: Your quest is foolhardy! Even your goddess has condemned the one you seek to free!
MAIN QUEST
Free Illidan
- Locate Illidan’s prison
- Tyrande Whisperwind must survive
The Watcher level 4 (wildkin) and 2 Wardens attack Tyrande’s forces.
Go north. Ignore all the crates in this area as they are all empty except for a Skeleton Archer level 1 that spawns from one, and another that has a rat. Instead, go straight through the bridge to kill these three Watcher level 4 wildkin. Fight them on the bridge (with Tyrande in front) so that it serves as a bottleneck (protecting the archers). Destroy their crates for a Healing Wards: Summons an immovable ward that heals 2% of nearby friendly non-mechanical unit’s hit points per sec. Contains 3 charges. Lasts 30 sec.
Step on the Circle of Power below those 3 wildkin. You need to step on two of those Circle of Power (not simultaneously, though) to unlock a gate for the next area.
Go back to where Tyrande spawned. Now head south and kill the Sentry, then destroy the Dungeon Gate.
A level 1 rock elemental spawns near the gate. Kill the 3 Mystics in this room.
You might think this room is empty otherwise, but upon close inspection there is a Dungeon Gate leading to a smaller room with a Mystic.
Click on the Book of Summoning Pedestal. It drops a Tome of Knowledge: Permanently increases Strength, Agility and Intelligence by 1.
Go back outside. You can ignore the next room as it only has a crate that spawns a Skeleton Archer level 1. Instead kill the Warden by the tables.
Kill the Sentry, past the arch, and destroy the Dungeon Gate.
Approach the Huntress and two Archer prisoners to claim them into your team.
Head north to step on the Circle of Power.
A message appears onscreen: The gate has been opened.
Go back where Tyrande started post-cutscene. Now go west and past the newly opened gate.
Go south of the gate, and kill these 3 Sentry (Sleepers).
Destroy the Dungeon Gate — left of those 3 sleeping sentries and enter that cell. This triggers a dialogue:
Tyrande: A cache of the Watchers’ weapons! These should help us considerably!
HINT – Your Huntresses have acquired magical Glaives. Their attacks will now ricochet between multiple targets.
Head north to kill the Elder Watcher level 6. There are two cells here:
- LEFT CELL: A Burning Archer and two Skeleton Archers spawn from the bones. The treasure chest with a Ring of Regeneration: Increases the Hero’s hit point regeneration by 2 hit points per sec.
- RIGHT CELL: 3 spider level 1. 3 Archers trapped in web. The egg sack spawns 2 Giant Spiders level 4. The archers join your team.
To the north, there are two Prison Cells:
- (LEFT) — Loki (a wolf level 2), a Huntress and 2 Archers — join your team. There are 3 crates. The one in the center drops Periapt of Vitality: Increases the hit points of the Hero by 150 when worn. The crate above spawns a War Golem level 3. The crate below spawns a Skeleton Archer.
- (RIGHT) — Warden.
Careful moving north. A dialogue starts:
Tyrande Whisperwind: The treants move to block my path! Only a powerful druid could command such creatures!
Note: 4 Treants attack you.
Go north to enter the Way Gate.
ENTRANCE 
DESTINATION 
To the south, you will find a Fountain of Health. At the bottom-right corner, you will find a hidden treasure chest behind a tree — Gauntlets of Ogre Strength: Increases the Strength of the Hero by 3.
Go south to loot these two treasure chests. Both treasure chests have Goblin Land Mines (3) each.
A Burning Archer and 3 Skeleton Archer level 1 unburrow near the cages.
- Goblin Land Mines: Places a hidden land mine at a target point. Enemy units that move near the land mine will activate the mine, destroying the mine and causing area of effect damage to nearby units. Contains 3 charges.
Tyrande Whisperwind: These explosive devices look to be of goblin design. The wily creatures must have hidden them here long ago. No matter, I’ll make good use of them.
Stop here to enter a secret area hidden behind the trees.
That Circle of Power teleports you to this secret room.
SECRET DISCOVERED – You have found the Shrine of the Uberfish.
The left and right Circle of Power teleports you to the previous Circle of Power.
Loot the treasure chest to obtain a Mantle of Intelligence: Increases the intelligence of the Hero by 3.
Coughs… there is an actual fish beneath the treasure chest.
Go back to the main road. 5 Watchers level 4 run counter-clockwise around the park. Place some Goblin Land Mines along the path, and lure one Watcher south — away from the others running his path. Usually, each goblin mine kills a Watcher. The long range arrows finish them in a second.
Ignore all the crates around this park. These are all empty. Kill the 2 Wardens.
Not far north, there are two Watchers level 4 (wildkin) — one on the left, and one on the right of the hallway.
Now comes the final fight against Califax (keeper of the grove level 3) and two Elder Watcher level 6, and an Ancient Watcher level 8.
Keeper of the Grove: Hold, Priestess! This place is forbidden, even to one such as you. There is a terrible evil here that must remain chained beneath the earth.
Tyrande Whisperwind: Illidan was considered a great hero once. I believe he will become one again.
Keeper of the Grove: Madness! You would doom us all by freeing the Betrayer!
The way to go here is to create a bottleneck so that none of the bulky wildkin is able to get through, and your archers can focus fire. Also, lay all your mines in their pathing while they chase you south. The wildkin die almost instantly to the goblin mines.
MAIN QUEST UPDATE
Free Illidan
CUTSCENE
Tyrande Whisperwind: Illidan! Is that you?
Illidan Stormrage: Tyrande… it is your voice! After all these ages spent in darkness, your voice is like the pure light of the moon upon my mind.
Tyrande Whisperwind: The Legion has returned, Illidan. Your people have need of you once more.
Illidan Stormrage: Because I once cared for you, Tyrande, I will hunt down the demons. But I will never owe our people anything!
Tyrande Whisperwind: Then let us hurry back to the surface! The demons’ corruption spreads with every second we waste!
Illidan Stormrage: It has been an eternity, brother. An eternity spent in darkness!
Malfurion Stormrage: Illidan! You were sentenced to pay for your sins, nothing more!
Illidan Stormrage: And who were you to judge me? We fought the demons side by side, if you recall!
Tyrande Whisperwind: Enough of this, both of you! What is done is done! My love, with Illidan’s help, we will drive the demons back once again and save what is left of our beloved land!
Malfurion Stormrage: Have you even considered the cost, Tyrande? This betrayer’s aid may doom us all before the end. I will have nothing to do with this.
