Description

As much as I want to exact swift and brutal revenge... I must honor my son's memory first. He cared for his people first and foremost.

The Undertaker's Pass goes underground below Northgate River. You must prevent the plague from being deployed while we evacuate our men, women and children to Aderic's Repose.

We captured one of the Forsaken's dreaded bombing bats. I want you to fly the infernal beast as best you can and unleash hell upon those who seek to bring the Plague to our people. Hurry!

Notes

• Head back outside (not down into the tunnel) and hop on the bat. #1 drops Iron Bombs capable of one-shotting the invaders and the catapults alike... #5 will abort the run and fly back to the city once the objective is complete. The bat will loop until players hit #5.
