Objectives Edit

Enter the Defias Hideout and follow the trail of homeless to the Deadmines dungeon. Enter the Deadmines dungeon and use the Incense Burner to see into the past.

• Vision of the Past uncovered

Provided item:  [Incense Burner]

Description Edit

This incense will put your body and mind in a deep meditative state. Once the trance begins you will be pulled into the spirit world. Do not fight the trance once it has begun, <name>. Allow the spirits to show you what they know.

You must leave now. Go to the Deadmines, a place which I am told holds great significance in the history of Westfall. Once inside, use the incense.

You may enter the Deadmines through the old farmhouse south of here. Follow the homeless.

Return to Gryan with your discovery.

Rewards Edit

You will receive: 20

Progress Edit

What have you found out, <name>?

Completion Edit

WHAT? VanCleef had a daughter?

Notes Edit

Just like the quest says, follow the trail of homeless into the Deadmines. Once inside, use the incense burner. The Vision of the Past shows what happened five years in the past. As the vision pans around Ironclad Cove, showing everyone dead, it circles around the ship to VanCleef's area...

Alliance Warrior yells: There's nowhere left to hide, VanCleef! The Defias are THROUGH!

Alliance Warrior says: We're here to finish this! Face us, coward!

Edwin VanCleef yells: None may challenge the Brotherhood!

Defias Blackguard jumps out of the shadows!

At 50%

At 25%

The party finishes VanCleef off.

Alliance Warrior yells: Victory for the Alliance! Glory to Stormwind!

Alliance Warrior says: Let us return to Sentinel Hill, allies, and inform Gryan of VanCleef's demise!

The Alliance party jumps off the ship heading toward the exit... Still on the ship, coming out of VanCleef's room:

Vanessa VanCleef says: Daddy...

Gryan's reaction should be echoed pretty much everywhere...
