Objectives
Retrieve the Disc of Tyr from Elisande in the Nighthold.
- Teleport to the Nighthold
- Retrieve the Disc of Tyr
Description
The information from our beacons suggests that Elisande has locked the disc away in Astromancer's Rise.
It is a place of learning, and the inside will have minimal protection. I have opened a portal where you and the Tyr's Guard will have the least resistance... except for Elisande and whatever guards are under her employ.
All of you are on your own once you get there, so try not to muck it up.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 84 27
- 14,300 XP
- 10x [Flightstones]
Progress
I wonder what Tyr is like? I bet he's super nice!
Completion
Glad everyone made it, <name>! We have the disc, the Silver Scale, and Tyr is reforged. Amazing, let's bring Tyr back!
Notes
- Upon accept
- Eternus says: The portal to the Nighthold is ready. I have tried to place you out of immediate danger.
- Nozdormu says: Be careful. This is not our timeline, but with the knowledge Elisande could potentially gain from the disc, she could be a threat to us all.
- Travard says: All right, everyone. This is it: our most important mission.
- Travard says: We are going to the Nighthold, and we're going to get back that disc!
- Travard says: Charge!
- Hadwin says: Last one in's a soggy troll!
- Nolaki says: Better a soggy troll than an ogre-faced man!
- Talthis says: Can you two please take this seriously for once?
- Valunei says: Light guide us... For Tyr!
Follow suit and take the Portal to Nighthold. Doing so starts the Retrieving the Disc scenario.
Stage 1: Ready Check
- Speak with Travard to ensure everyone is ready.
- Tell Travard you are ready
Speak to Travard:
- We're ready when you are, <name>. Let's take back Tyr's disc.
- (Quest) I'm ready.
- Travard says: Our main concern is Elisande herself, but she'll have guards, traps, or other defenses we'll need to overcome.
- The Tyr's Guards charge into the room, attacking the nightborne guards.
Stage 2 – Secure the Exits
- Defeat the guards in Elisande's research facility.
- Astromancer's Guards defeated
- Travard says: So be careful, everyone. <name> kept you alive through your training and I'd like to continue to do so.
- Astromancer's Guard says: You won't reach the upper sanctum!
- Astromancer's Guard says: Get them before they reach Elisande!
Defeat them. The paladins then face and stand in front of Observatory Stairs.
Stage 3 – Defeat Senior Researcher Alydrus
- Defeat Senior Researcher Alydrus.
- Senior Researcher Alydrus defeated
- Talthis says: Well, that was...messy. But we got the job done.
- Hadwin says: Right. It doesn't feel great, though. The guards probably don't know about the disc.
There are also several Focused Researchers and Runas the Bright in the room, and on the ground are [Alydrus' Research Notes] for additional lore.
- Runas the Bright says: I do not fear you, outsiders. I know your pursuit of the disc is well-intentioned. But please do not harm the other researchers.
- Runas' gossip
- I do not recognize you. But I sense we are somehow connected in a way I do not understand. Go in peace, outsider, and be safe.
- Travard's gossip
- Be careful, <name>--there's no telling what tricks we may yet encounter from Elisande.
Open the door and attack Senior Researcher Alydrus on the stairs.
- Senior Researcher Alydrus says: Wha... Elisande said nothing about visitors!
And kill her:
- Senior Researcher Alydrus says: But... there is so much more I have yet to learn.
Stage 4 – Staircase Guards
- Clear the guards blocking the stairs.
- Guards on stairs defeated.
- Nolaki says: A noble woman. She died protecting Elisande and the disc.
- Talthis says: Noble? What? Elisande is going to align with the Legion! And that disc is Tyr's!
- Valunei says: Yes, but she did not know that--and Elisande may not aid the Legion in this timeline. We are invaders in her home. May she rest well.
Follow the paladins upstairs and more nightborne guards appear. Kill them.
- Astromancer's Guard says: For Elisande!
Upon death
- Astromancer's Guard says: Get them before they reach Elisande!
Stage 5 – Guardian Ordan
- Elisande's Guardian, Ordan, blocks the way.
- Guardian Ordan defeated
- Hadwin says: I don't like this. These people haven't a clue what we're doing here.
- Travard says: I know, Hadwin. But we do what we must to retrieve the disc.
Attack Ordan near the top of the stairs.
- Guardian Ordan says: The Grand Magistrix has not authorized your presence.
And kill it:
- Guardian Ordan says: I am not designed... to be defeated.
Stage 6 – Speak with Travard
- Speak with Travard before facing Elisande.
- Tell Travard you are ready
The paladins continue to the top and stand in front of Elisande's Research Chamber.
- Talthis says: That construct... I thought only a people aligned with the titans could construct such an... orderly thing.
- Valunei says: They are like us, Talthis. Which makes this fight all the more tragic.
- Talthis says: I suppose. It is but a construct. The real tragedy would be losing any of you.
Speak to Travard again:
- Through this door, we'll face Elisande and the disc, <name>. Are you ready?
- (Quest) I'm ready.
Stage 7 – Elisande
- Face Elisande with the Tyr's Guard.
- Elisande confronted
- Travard says: Keep your wits about you, everyone!
The paladins charge at Elisande.
- Elisande says: My work to understand the disc is crucial for my people!
Fight with her until she reaches 50%, she turns unfriendly, and resets the attackers.
- Elisande yells: My people's future lies with the disc; leave me to study it.
Stage 8 – Speak with Talthis
- Speak with Talthis about his plan.
- Hear Talthis' plan
- Valunei says: She used... time magic?
- Nolaki says: And moved us back to before we attacked her!
- Talthis says: With her mastery of time magic, we need a plan. I have one that may work, <name>.
Speak to Talthis:
- A plan to defeat Elisande requires precision and focus.
- Both things I have in abundance, <name>.
- So, how about this?
- Hadwin and I will attack first from the left and distract Elisande.
- Once we have her attention, everyone else can join.
- If she is distracted and our attack divided, she won't be able to throw all of us out!
- Ready?
- (Quest) I'm ready.
Stage 9 – Elisande
- Face Elisande with the Tyr's Guard.
- 0/1 Elisande confronted
The group attacks according to Talthis' strategy, but Elisande casts Frozen in Time on him and Hadwin and focues on the rest of the group.
- Elisande yells: Leave me to the disc, insect!
- Elisande says: What?! I need to focus on the disc! Ask Aldyrus instead.
At 50%, she repeats her rewind spell.
- Elisande yells: My people's future lies with the disc; leave me to study it.
Stage 10 – Speak with Nolaki
- Hear Nolaki's plan for the Tyr's Guard.
- Hear Nolaki's plan
- Nolaki says: That still didn't work. We need to think this through.
- That was a good plan, but Elisande is still a step ahead of us. We need to get two steps ahead of her to have a chance.
- (Quest) What's your plan, Nolaki?
Stage 11 – Elisande
- Tell Valunei you are ready.
- Tell Valunei you are ready
- Nolaki says: We need someone to draw Elisande's focus first. That will be me.
- Nolaki says: After that, we close in from all directions. Except Valunei and <name>.
- Valunei says: Except... me? And <name>? Why?
- Nolaki says: Because with her attention on us, you and <name> will come from behind for the final blow.
- Talthis says: It's a sound plan. But only if Valunei feels ready.
- Valunei says: I can do it, Captain. I am ready when <name> is.
Speak to Valunei:
- Ready to do our part to get the disc, <name>?
- (Quest) Let's go!
A cutscene plays:
- Valunei and the adventurer approach Elisande as she has trapped the rest of the paladins in time. Valunei kneels and removes her weapon and shield.
- Talthis says: Valunei! What are you doing?
- Valunei stands up.
- Valunei says: Elisande, please! We need that disc to restore the memories of our friend, Keeper Tyr.
- Elisande says: His mind holds many secrets that could aid my cause.
- Valunei says: I know you want what's best for your people.
- Valunei steps towards Elisande.
- Valunei says: But the world needs Tyr's compassion and valor once again.
- Elisande glances behind her toward the disc and the trapped paladins.
- Elisande says: So be it.
- Elisande cancels the time spell, opens a portal to Suramar, and walks towards it.
- Elisande says: I have gleaned the knowledge I need to depart this timeway and keep Suramar safe.
- She stops in front of the portal and looks at Valunei.
- Elisande says: The disc is yours.
- Elisande then takes the portal.
Final Stage – Return to Tyrhold
- Return through the portal.
- Portal to Tyrhold Taken
- Talthis says: You let Elisande go?
- Valunei says: I believe that is what Tyr would have done.
- Hadwin says: You did the right thing, Valunei. She wanted to help her people. We were the ones attacking her.
- Travard says: You have all done well. We have accomplished our mission. Now we will forge the future of the Tyr's Guard.
- Travard says: Let's return with the disc, <name>. I believe Tyr has waited long enough!
- The paladins take the Portal to Tyrhold.
Before taking the portal, Travard has briefly a new gossip:
- We finally have the disc.
- We can finally bring Tyr back to our world.
- Although... a part of me is apprehensive. What if Tyr isn't who I think he is? Or what if he doesn't approve of the Tyr's Guard?
- Well, the only way to find out is to get the disc back to Nozdormu. Shall we go?
Follow suit and take the portal. Back in Tyrhold, Chromie greets, and the group is now joined by Alexstrasza.
- Chromie says: You all made it back, with the disc!
- Alexstrasza's gossip
- Yes, <name>?
