Decisive Action
Infiltrate Stormsea Landing and open the courtyard gate from within. Speak with Taoshi to begin the mission.
Location
Description
Zandalari warships plunder the seas around this island. They ferry in soldiers and war beasts from Zandalar to bolster Lei Shen's army.
If we can capture the palace shipyard, the Thunder King's supply line will be cut off, and your foothold here will be secure.
I have a plan to do just that, and it won't take an entire army.
This quest becomes available when Stage 5 has been unlocked. You will queue for the solo scenario "Stormsea Landing"
Accepting quest:
[Note: Yes, Lor'themar uses the wrong word. "Breach" is the correct one, as "breech" refers to a particular style of pants. I've already reported the typo to Blizzard.]
---------------------------------------------------------
Stage 1 has the player ride Thunderwing and having Taoshi take out the Zandalari rider that's become separated from his people.
Stage 2 has the player use Smoke Bombs to clear a path to stealth through - but you have to use them wisely! Personally, I noticed that it varied from as little to 8 to as many as 11. I'm not sure if there's a hidden counter involved or that the game is "intuitive" as to when you've cleared a viable path. Rather weird.
Stage 3 has the player land on the boat, still accompanied by Taoshi. You then sneak around the ship carefully knocking out various mobs. Carefully, because there are some patrolling mobs. This shouldn't be too much of a problem as the spell has a 6-yard range - plenty enough space between you and them. After Taoshi has laid traps for all 4 of the siege weapons, the player heads down with her below decks to go kill Captain Halu'kal.
Stage 4 is simple enough. Kill Captain Halu'kal. He isn't too hard a fight - just avoid the puddles and his frontal cone AoE, and quickly kill any add that wakes up (they're weak but annoying). If the captain is already low on health, you can ignore the add(s) because once the boss is dead, those adds will not attack you. (It was rather strange just seeing the guy standing there, though.) Follow Taoshi out of the ship and onto the dock.
Stage 5 continues with you and Taoshi sneaking through the courtyard. Hope you flung well those Smoke Bombs from Stage 2!
Stage 6 is very brief - just walk up to Hu'seng the Gatekeeper.
In Final Stage, the player gets to kill the final boss! See his page for more information. Once he's dead, loot his body and run up to where Taoshi is to open the gates.
