Signs of the Lion Quest

The fact that there is no notification that this is EIGHTEEN Torghast floors long is absolutely absurd. I hopped on thinking I could run the quest quickly, just like the other Torghast quests leading up to this one, only to get to Floor 8, check WoWHead, and find I’m not even halfway done. I test out to see if you could leave and come back to finish later - but come to find out, back at Floor 1.

I’ve never complained about a quest or anything else but the fact that 1) its EIGHTEEN FLOORS and likely will take a substantial amount of time with NO notice that it’s different than any other Torghast quest, and 2) there isn’t an option to leave and come back, is absolutely absurd.

You would’ve hated time-gated attunements just to get into raids.

This. Is. Not. Hard.

This actually works and you can still finish the quest.

Someone reported you can go to floor 6 three times, rather than floor 18 once, and still loot all three clues.

Confirmed, this works.

Although, I just cleared the 18 floors in about 45 minutes.

I presume this would be faster than leaving and coming back for 3x 6 floor clears?

Dunno.

I’ve heard some people who are pretty well geared say they still have issues with the level 18 boss.

It’s not that hard. I promise you. I’d argue if any class or role understands how to use their CDs/interrupts/stuns/CCs etc, it should be fairly simple.

I personally haven’t tried it. Knowing what I know about the other levels of Torghast, I don’t expect it to be hard for me.

Soulforges is the only place that gives me issues and that’s only because of that stupid burn it does.

Dont know why people complain on the forum when they could have just checked wowhead for 1 minute

When did we have time-gated attunements? The closest thing to a time-gate might have been if you’d already killed a quest that dropped a quest item, you’d have to wait till a reset or something, or farming a limited resource but you could often sink multiple people at that if required. But those aren’t time-gates.

It sounds like 18 Floors amplifies the issues certain classes have with certain bosses. Yes, you have a ridiculous amount of power from Anima Powers, but the bosses are also buffed up, and if your class is hard-countered because of how the boss works, it seems like it’s worse on Floor 18 than on a typical 6-Floor Torghast run.

Also, for some people earlier today, they were getting wasted Anima Powers on a bug where all they were getting was “PLACEHOLDER”

Moving back to the actual topic:
I do think there’s better room on the Torghast UI to be more informative of things to the player. Torments, Floor counts, some sort of description, unique powers.

Bro. Unless you’ve done TC on every class, why say this? I have it pretty easy as a rogue in Torghast, and getting to floor 18 was positively effortless. The boss that I faced was meleeing me for 30,000. Even with no-CD Crimson Vial having a chance to proc Evasion, Shadowstep having a chance to proc Evasion, and multiple full duration Kidney Shots, I was killed 4 times just because I had to endure a few melee swings.

In the end I could only win by kiting, as a rogue. Even though I ultimately cleared it, it wasn’t a breeze. It was extremely frustrating and unsatisfying.

edit - you’re the same guy from the other thread. :expressionless:

Its not supposed to be a breeze lol

Not supposed to be a waste if time either , 17 floors of challenging content but fairly fulfilling followed by 1 floor of a boss that melee hits for 67k through defensives and has 3.2 million life and his damage stacks up the longer it takes to kill him , ever tried killing a 3.2 million life boss as tank…try it and then tell me this is fair gameplay

oh and before you make a stupid statement like self healing …there is no amount of self healing to heal any tank that fast and look at vegenace dh powers they are the worst out of any class

this is more about the fundamental flaws in twisting corridors not the niche class that can literally one shot the last boss

Not looking forward to this as bear either.
I much prefer my vdh in torghast for what few powers it gets that are decent.

As bear I can wait 20 moonfire ticks for a moon to drop, root everything and wait 5 minutes for it to die (not bosses though), or the “chance” for my moonfire to turn enemies into I animated objects.

Wish there was something that made my bear feel like a bear instead of having to slowly gnaw my enemies to death.

Last nights I had already done layer3 6 Skovald floors, then got rescue Thrall quest, then after already doing 18 floors I got the Anduin Torghast layer 1 Twisting corridors quest. …thought, “oh I’ll do this tomorrow,” but after a half hour decided to try it.

Everything went fine till I got to floor 5. The 3rd floor vendor never showed up, maybe dead IDK, I was out of health potions and healing pots. Duh.

So I went into floor 5 with3 deaths left, and immediately there is a gauntlet of many swinging pendulum and fire traps for a long ways. Worst I’d seen. I used my portal twice to get past , still getting burnt and nicked by blades and then purple flippy things started reining down from above was down to no deaths left and then the Terrague monster shows up and kill me.

Is that what Twisting Corridors floor 5 is going to be every time? or did I just get a bad one? I was burnt out anyway.

I am going to go back in today.

that layout can be floor 1 in another run. but the template is same.
you have to go step by step. don’t let the maw mob to run away. he starts casting goo from air.

The Maw mob must have gotten away. he was up high like in the rafters. I couldn’t see what it was. Thanks for the tip.

This took me by surprise a little bit too. I had read that the Twisted Corridors was 18 floors, but I thought this was the quest to unlock that. I though I could knock it out quickly before bed. I wasn’t expecting to do a full run. Meh, who needs sleep anyway? =P

45 min? that’s imposible. You can’t do a floor in just three minutes; even if there were no mobs in there, you won’t be able to run from portal to portal in just 3 minutes. You have to fight, loot, buy etc. it 's not possible to do all 18 floors in just 45 minutes. It is with the regular torghast, 6 floors. but not with 18 floors.-

Record a video and show us how you do this :stuck_out_tongue:

Nope, you just enter the upper reaches scenario inside twisting corridors, and the trap floor. If you don’t like a “scenario” you can exit ths instance and re-enter, the “scenario” will be diferent. It changes everytime.

Okay…a trap door…I’ll have to look that up. Will I end up back in Twisted Corridor? Thanks for the tip. I want to finish the quest Sign of the Lion quest.
