The Fall of Emperor Korthek

Defeat Emperor Korthek.

• Speak with Vorrik

Korthek finally approaches.

It's been many years since I've faced him in battle. When he first rose to power, I failed my people. I will not falter again.

I am prepared to do what must be done. What I should have done long ago.

We must kill Korthek and take his key to prevent him, Jakra'zet, or anyone else from ever resurrecting Mythrax.

When you are prepared, we will face him together.

You will also receive:

• 24,680 XP
• +250 reputation with Voldunai

Do not waste time mourning my old friend now. His foolish crusade has left us a larger problem that demands our full, immediate attention.

Talk to Vorrik:

• Let us end this together.

A short cutscene begins, showing Korthek appearing in front of the entrance into the Temple of Sethraliss in a flash of lightning.

As soon as the cutscene ends, Nisha and Vorrik immediately run forward and begin fighting Korthek.

In battle, Korthek uses Cascade (which summons a damaging ball of lightning that lands at a target location and then bounces forward two times), Shock (which deals direct Nature damage), and Windwall (which summons a rotating wall of tornadoes that deal Nature damage to anyone standing in them). Interrupt Shock when possible and avoid being hit by Cascade and Windwall.

Around 75% health:

Vorrik and Nisha go to stand a short distance south. Talk to Vorrik to turn in.

Completing this quest rewards the "Storming the Spire" portion of Secrets in the Sands. Vorrik offers the followup Sanctuary Under Siege, which leads to the final chapter of the Vol'dun storyline.
