History

Getting the Drakefire Amulet (Alliance)

Onyxia's hold on Stormwind is clever and cruel. Along the way you will find old heroes and lead up to one of the best-scripted events in the game. The fun starts in The Burning Steppes at the local Alliance outpost in the southeastern area. The series will have you travelling between Stormwind, redridge, Burning Steppes, and Blackrock Depths mostly.

Speak with Helendris Riverhorn in the Burning Steppes to get the quest "Dragonkin Menace".

Upon completion accept the follow-up; "True masters, which will have you travel to and speak with someone in Redridge, then Stormwind, then redridge again, then back to the Burning Steppes.

Marshal Maxwell will give you a quest to search for Ragged John

Finding him sends you to Blackrock Depths with the quest "Abandonned Hope" in search of Marshal Windsor.

Find Marshal Windsor in one of the jail cells to have him send you back to Marshal Maxwell.

At this point, a random drop in Blackrock Depths will be a "Crumpled Note" which begins a quest.

Showing the note to Windsor sends you out to kill General Angerforge and the golem lord Argelmach to retrieve some documents.

Take them back to Windsor and be prepared, as the follow-up quest is the famed "Jail Break."

Escort Windsor around the jail and detention areas of Blackrock Depths (this must be done in a 5-man group) grabbing his gear and searching for a friend. He inevitably chooses several incorrect doors causing your team to fight a few sub-bosses. Make sure that you clear out most of this beforehand, is he sometimes misses mobs and will simply keep walking.

Once he grabs his gear he'll break into a run and book it for the exit. He exudes a buff that increases attack speed, so everything after this is easy. The quest ends when he makes it to the instance portal, and more importantly, when the quest says it is complete.

Windsor will, before you leave, inform you to meet him at Stormwind. make haste to the front gates of Stormwind and wait for him to show up. he despawns after a while if kept waiting, but returns every once in a while.

You now need to follow Marshal Windsor as he confronts the Stormwind guards and has them bow down and out of the way, and then follow his slow march to the throne room, guards bowing as he goes. At this point he will confront Lady prestor, the little King will go run off, and Highlord Bolvard Fordragon will begin taking on all of Onyxia's guards which were disguised as the room's guards.

In a recent patch it seems that you will actually need to assist him against the mass of dragonkin. Once they are dead, Fordragon will tell you to seek out a dragon that lives amoung humans to assist you.

You will find this dragon in a very unlikely place; Winterspring, in a small cave along the west wall as it slopes to the southern path. Work your way through a cave of blue dragonflight to a rune on the ground which teleports you up on top of the cave, near an NPC.

This shapeshifted blue dragonflight will inform you that to craft a Drakefire Amulet you need the blood of a black drake.

You will find this blood off Lord Drakkisath, back in Upper Blackrock Spire.

Return when you have it and she will craft for you the Drakefire Amulet; the key to Onyxia's Lair.
