Find Illidan in game:
- In the Black Temple Original Raid Attunement, you can learn how Akama and Maiev worked together to thwart Illidan and gain access to the Black Temple. This questline led to defeating all bosses in the Black Temple, rewarding 卡拉波神圣勋章 upon defeating Illidan.
- Before Legion, Illidan was best known for his appearance in Black Temple:
The Black Temple is the fortress-citadel of Illidan Stormrage, Lord of Outland. It contains tier 6 set pieces as well as many notable items, including 埃辛诺斯双刃. It's also known for providing reputation for 灰舌死誓者, easily earned through clearing the raid a few times. - 莎赫拉丝主母, 伊利达雷议会, and 伊利丹·怒风 drop the Shoulders, Legs, and Chest for the Tier 6 set.
- Black Temple is also home to the famous legendaries 埃辛诺斯双刃. Obtaining 埃辛诺斯战刃/埃辛诺斯战刃 awards the achievement 埃辛诺斯战刃. Subsequently running Black Temple in Timewalking Mode while having this achievement will award 回忆长存, allowing Demon Hunters on your account to transmog their weapons to the original Warglaives.
- In Legion, Black Temple made a return as the first Timewalking Raid.
- Illidan, as the final boss, has many iconic drops besides the Warglaives, including 怒风徽记之戒, 扎尔杜姆,吞噬者的法杖, 埃辛诺斯壁垒, 萨格拉斯的诅咒视界, and 古尔丹之颅.
Several quests spotlight Illidan's battle with Arthas -
火焰与悲哀的宿命 in Felwood and
猎人与王子 in Icecrown.
Several quests in Legion attempt to paint Illidan in a more-sympathetic light, as the last time we met up with him, Illidan was the enemy. In this questline, you'll learn about Illidan's conflicts with the other Night Elves, his rejection by Cenarius, siphoning life from the Moon Guard mages to gain power during War of the Ancients, Illidan's sacrifice to gain knowledge of the Legion, and his defeat at Black Temple. The quests in this series are
觉醒,
不明朗的道路,
拉文凯斯的遗产,
在我父的家里,
未竟的宿命. You can also watch the
short cinematic upon Illidan's defeat.
In early Legion, you must complete
勇气试炼:过去与未来的暗影之王 to find Illidan's soul in Trial of Valor. In the previous quest
伊利达雷的灵魂棱镜, heavily nerfed over several patches, you must collect soul fragments to create the Soul Prism needed to house Illidan.
In the Gul'dan encounter Archmage Khadgar release Illidan’s soul into his body. On Mythic difficulty it's not so straightforward as players must first cleanse the dark presence lurking in Illidan's body. You can find all the Mythic-only abilities in our
coverage of Exorsus' World First Kill. Illidan then crushes Gul'dan, mirroring Gul'dan's defeat of Varian, and smashes the Skull. You can watch that in the
Nighthold Cinematic.
In the
Tomb of Sargeras raid, Illidan accompanies us through the instance along with Velen, Khadgar, and Maiev. Upon Kil'jaeden's defeat, Illidan uses the
萨格里特钥石 to open a rift between Azeroth and Argus, making the planet visible in the sky. You can watch the cinematic
here and you can read more about the story of that raid in our
past lore collaboration.
While Xe'ra believes that Illidan is the Child of Light and Shadow, he puts an end to the prophecy and her attempts to purify him by shattering Xe'ra. You can complete the
光与影之子 storyline to experience this event or watch the cinematic
here. However
speculation lives on that Arator could be the child of Light and Shadow.
Illidan helps us fight through
Antorus, the Burning Throne, and ultimately decides to stay as the jailer of Sargeras. This is interpreted by many characters as a sacrifice, but Illidan looks quite pleased at the thought of tormenting Sargeras for eternity. You can watch the cinematic and read our analysis
in this post.
Upon defeating Argus, players can tie up loose ends between Illidan, Tyrande, and Malfurion through the
艾洛达尔水晶 which starts
反思之时 to deliver some messages.
Find Maiev in game:- Maiev is back in Legion. We encounter her while leveling in Val'sharah and the Demon Hunter Starting Zone. She tries to stop Gul'dan from taking Illidan's body, and is later held prisoner in Black Rook Hold. In Patch 7.2, she's teamed up with Illidan in Cathedral of Eternal Night and they have some fun dialogue exchanges!
- Maiev was also notably seen in the 伊利丹·怒风 encounter - helping the players defeat Illidan. You can also find Maiev in the Black Temple storyline quest, such as 帮助阿卡玛. In the 危险的秘密 questline, required for Black Temple attunement, you'll work with Maiev and learn more about her motives.
- Maiev has several items about her in game - 月之女祭司玛维的束带 referencing her past life as a priestess, and 玛维·影歌的银币 which can be fished up in Dalaran.
