Comentario de juancho

Creo que este año (2008) han debido de cambiar la quest, por que el texto descriptivo no tiene nada que ver con el que pone aquí.

La isla de elementales que describe la quest está en Vega de Tuercespina en 21,23.
Hay dos cristales desde donde invocar al elemental de nivel 43 (no élite).
No tiene nada de especial, sólo que recomiendo despejar la zona de otros elementales antes de la invocación.
Los cristales sí son iguales que el de la foto.

Comentario de sis4dark

El contraataque nivel 22, matar al teniente Olaescarcha, en la Ensenada de Zoram en Vallefresno.
El contraataque nivel 32, matar al teniente Granizo, en Ethel Rethor en Desolace.
El contraataque nivel 43, matar al teniente Viento Gélido, en la isla de los elementales de agua en la zona oeste de Vega de Tuercespina.
El contraataque nivel 51, matar al teniente Frígido, en la cueva bajo Cresta Vigía en el noroeste de La Garganta de Fuego.
El contraataque nivel 60, matar al teniente Glacial, en el Paseo Crepúsculo en la zona norte de Silithus.
El contraataque nivel 67, matar al templario Glacial, cerca del El Portal Oscuro en la Península del Fuego Infernal.

There are four summoning stones. (see screenshot posted by norrec - thank you for that) They are positioned on basically the four corners of the enclosure the Pit Commander stands in at the base of the stairs going up to the Dark portal.

I would assume the stones will disappear when the festival ends.

Comentario de 58308

Glacial Templar is immune to frost damage!
One of the stones is at 84.2 47 in Hellfire Peninsula.

Comentario de 165040

Why are some of those quests dailies. Is there some sort of nice reward to be given to us or something?

Comentario de Fyrstorm180

Just walk up and touch it. A white crystallized giant will spawn and you have to kill it. It's extremely weak and easy to kill. When I first summoned it, it scared me haha

Comentario de 65384

be very carefull if you don't have a flying mount, the nearby demons (which are 70 elites that hit very hard) are VERY close to the twilight camps.

Comentario de 142360

The giant uses FROSTSHOCK - proceed with caution

Comentario de 162477

problem is i can't get quest finished i mean i've killed 30 of them and i can't figure out why i can't finsih it

Comentario de 144506

This quest became available to me at 64. I was able to solo it on my hunter despite quest and templar being orange.

Comentario de 134307

I did this quest easily at 64, it's the other Frostwhatevers around that are a pain, watch out for them

Comentario de 153395

Confirmed: This is available at 64, but not available at 63 contrary to the description

Added: He is Level 67 non-elite, and easily soloed as a 64 feral druid. Very easy for an orange quest.

At 64 it rewards 94s, 10 Blossoms, 11650xp

Comentario de Abundantia

I was offered this q at lvl 66. Giant is not elite and no trouble at all to deal with. Just make sure you clear a few of the surrounding mobs first - seemed to me that the casters wandering around near the crystals were actually more trouble than the giant!

Comentario de Valdan

You MUST COMPLETE this chain first before doing this quest:

Unusual Activity chain:
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11886

Comentario de 167484

Just fly to the Dark Portal's Flight path, and hop down the eastern side off of it. I'll put you right next to the ice crystal that summons the Glacial Templar, and will help you avoid any elite demons patrolling the area. Then you can just jump up where you came off of and run back to your flight master. Works for either Horde or Alliance.

Comentario de FuxieDK

The easiest 7g93s in the game..

Comentario de FireMedic65

It's telling me to go to Twilight's Run, in northern Silithus. I don't understand?

Comentario de Kalx

The ice stone has melted!

Comentario de 352384

Doesn't seem to be available to my character atm.

Comentario de Thabear

so, what? we cant do this daily now at lvl 80? id like to get the robes for the achievement

Comentario de 209272

I can't get this either must be locked for level 80's unless someone has gotten an answer otherwise from a GM.

Comentario de Thabear

lol so if i got all the fires last year and bought pet and dancing flames i wont get enough blossoms to get the robes? theres only 2 dailys, thats 10 blossoms a day, wont be enough for the set and get the dancing achievement

Comentario de 281467

Just talked to a GM, this is one of the issues they're looking to correct along with the failure in the reset, etc.

Comentario de 258545

this then makes out 140 less than the 892 from last years, and - 20 for whomever did ahune last year for tabard... so we have a total of 732 from fires and dailies, but i think with northrend fires we can make it just ober 800...

Comentario de 388653

Spoke to a GM last night about the problem with the fires not resetting for those who honored/desecrated some or all of them in Azeroth the previous year before the achievement was noted. I feel bad for them, as they said that Blizzard is aware of the problem and is striving to fix it within the next 3 days. He then said that he has the same issue on a personal account.

So, fires were supposed to have reset, they didn't and they know about it. Would help if this information was given to us without having to wait for them to answer our tickets.

Edit - Just about to log on noticed its FINALLY noted on the log in screen.

Comentario de 399862

This is supposed to be a Daily, did it Yesterday, can't get it today.

Is it now a normal Quest that once done is done, or is it linked to the reset issue affecting all the Level 80's that did this event last year?

Comentario de 263118

~~As i GM just told me, this quest is available only up to level 70. If you are above level 70, this is the daily for your level range.~~

EDIT: no longer true. Has been fixed by blizzard on 24/06/09 (european server)

Comentario de 9357

You MUST COMPLETE this chain first before doing this quest:

Unusual Activity chain:
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11886

This is entirely incorrect. I picked up and completed the "Unusual Activity" quest on Monday, then picked up "Striking Back" Tuesday.

Comentario de Mantrhax

well im Lv 80 and did this quest today.... lol killing a lv 67 mob isnt that hard :P

Comentario de Xhougnaamn

This quest was bugged yesterday and was locked out to level 80s due to Blizzard's lack of thinking, since last year's Midsummer Fire Festival didn't contain level 71+ players.

As of today (June 23, 2009) this quest has been fixed and is now available to players above level 70 as well.

Edit: Updated for further information.

Comentario de Friiar

I am level 80, i was able to pick up this quest in Shat. The quest was marked as (Low Level) and did not show up on the mini map. i right clicked the NPC and accepted the daily. it paid 10 blossoms and some coins

Comentario de 80158

my sister got this quest an she is a lvl 80 night elf druid, np prob with it if! fact killed both glacials.she had fun with it!...lol

Comentario de 403379

This works now ;-) Remember it's low-level (for level 80s) so no exclamation point. Just click on the questgiver and they'll have the quests.

Comentario de 102945

This got updated as of tuesday. You can pick it up from an elder in shattrath.
Also, since they reset the fires, if you did the northrend fires already you should be able to get everything or close to it.

Comentario de figaw

A little updated information as of 2011.

There is one
It is located on coordinates 85,53 in Hellfire Peninsula

Just to the left when you come down the second pair of stairs, from the Dark Portal.

"Triggering the mechanism" will spawn the the lvl 67, Glacial Templar. It has 4660 hp.

Good luck and have fun.

Comentario de 852997

I killed the Glacial Templar but now I can't find the earthen ring elder in shattroth. Is this still able to be completed? I can't even find the artifact that I was using to summon it.

Comentario de drewy91

once you have killed the giant there is a portal to stormwind/org just near the flight masters in the little camps next to the portal to save yourself a hearth cd or flying to shat to port

Comentario de Pzypro

The crystal to summon the giant is located just below the horde mini-base by the dark portal (in HFP). He is level 67... which is pretty easy at level 90... (if you can't 1 shot him, you're bad :P).

The prerequisite to this quest has you going to Ashenvale to kill lvl22? mobs. The whole questline seems badly outdated.

Comentario de 182693

Just a friendly tip... I went to turn this in on the last day of Midsumer Fire Festival. I had finished the quest maybe a half hour before and I showed up at the turn-in at 10:59 a.m. (server). Not really paying attention to the time, a guildie started a chat with me. While chatting I started to open the turn-in window. It popped up for maybe 8 seconds and as I was ready to click complete, the window, quest giver and all his buddies disappeared! With a puzzled look on my face and my brow deeply furrowed, I started walking around, trying to change my angle as I thought maybe they had phased out or something. It took me a few seconds to realize the clock had just rolled over to 11 a.m. and the festival had just ended for the year. Arghh... Not a big deal as I had completed it in previous years, but it was a loss of 20 gold and 10 blossoms/fest currency marks. This quest won't be hanging around in my log for a whole year just because of my inattention and stupid mistake! I hope you read this and it helps you before it happens to you come next year's fest. Even if you have the turn-in window open, they phase out and you're up the creek for a whole year.

Comentario de Scoobydeux

At level 90, this quest is insanely easy, BUT, dismiss your pet, if you use one, to ensure you get credit for the kill.

Comentario de gumby760

I am level 65 and it only offers the quest 1 lower than this. Any ideas?

Comentario de Pallaxis

Just a quick tip, this quest DOES NOT complete when you kill him while in a party. I just killed him multiple times before re-accepting the quest nut nothing seemed to help before I left the group and killed him.

Comentario de Stryfenine

Let it talk first before killing

Comentario de mmchateau

This Glacial Templar can be one-shotted at 110! easy quest. yes one-shotted!

Comentario de OwlGirl

I feel quite baffled. What is the right/easiest way to get to the Black Portal at 110 and beyond. The portal in Blasted Lands takes me to Draenor (my Garrison). I ended up flying from Shattrath!

Comentario de theallien

The best and fastes way to get there is to use the portal from the zeppelin ramp in Orgrimar to travel to Undercity, then use the Undercity portal to Hellfire Peninsula. You also have an Orgrimar portal there so it makes thet return much easier and faster.

Edit: starting today the level of Glacial Templar is 120. Yesterday was much lower, like 60 i guess.

Comentario de Snold

For Alliance in BfA I do the following: Fly to Stormwind Harbor and take the portal to Darnassus from the southern-most dock. Then travel to the Temple of the Moon and take the portal to Hellfire Penninsula.

Comentario de brionl

New for 2021, you can do all six Striking Back quests per day for an additional +50 Flores ardientes. I've come up with a route that is fairly efficient for Alliance characters.
Assuming you have the portal room in Boralus, and the Piedra de hogar de Dalaran unlocked (If you don't, you should). Start in Stormwind, with your heartstone set to Stormwind:

Take the portal from the harbor to Darnassus
Take a flightpath to Black Fathom Camp in Ashenvale (it may be faster to fly direct if you have Master Flying)
Complete El contraataque
Fly to Furien's Post in Desolace
Complete El contraataque
Hearth to Stormwind
Take the portal to Boralus
Choose your own Path!
If you have the Silithus portal unlocked use that.
You'll need to talk to Zidormi to view past Silithus
Use the Caverns of Time portal, fly to Silithus
Complete El contraataque
Use your Piedra de hogar de Dalaran
Take the portal from Dalaran to Stormwind
Take the portal from Stormwind to Boralus
Take the portal from Boralus to Ironforge
Fly from Ironforge to Thorium Point in Searing Gorge
Complete El contraataque (nb: The summoning stone is inside the cave at Firewatch Ridge)
Return to Stormwind (Your regular hearthstone should be available again)
Fly to the Rebel Camp in Northern Stranglethorn
Complete El contraataque
Return to Stormwind
Talk to Mago de Bastión del Honor right inside the door to the Mage's Tower, and get transported to The Dark Portal
Complete El contraataque
Use the portal at the top of The Dark Stairs to return to Stormwind one final time
Turn in quests!
Make it rain Flores ardientess!

Thanks to brionl for listing their pathing on the quest pages!

Comentario de leonsija

don't forget - as horde you can use pet lift to get to Searing Gorge fast (teleport to Blackrock Depth) and to Stranlethorn via Deadmines teleport

Comentario de mamapapaxp

2023... Previous routing instructions no longer seem to apply, as walking through the portal in the Blasted Lands now takes you (bizarrely) to Escudo de Tormenta/Lanza de Guerra, in Ashran - which is in the alternative version of Draenor, NOT OUTLAND!

The solution is, of course, very simple. Take the portal from the Orgrimmar/Ciudad de Ventormenta portal hub to Ciudad de Shattrath, then fly to The Stair of Destiny at The Dark Portal, in Península del Fuego Infernal. Much quicker than the old way.

Mata al templario glacial que invoques desde la piedra de hielo situada cerca del Portal Oscuro en la Península del Fuego Infernal. Después, ve a ver al anciano del Anillo de la Tierra en alguna de las capitales.

Descripción

¡Debemos hacer algo por mantener la balanza en equilibrio! Tenemos el tiempo en contra.

Para asegurar el éxito de Ahune, el Culto ha establecido una base cerca del propio Portal Oscuro en Draenor. Allí utilizan piedras de hielo para organizar la llegada del Señor de la Escarcha. Aunque no me gusta nada la idea de hacer esto, sé que los espíritus lo entenderán. Tienes que invocar a alguno de esos templarios protectores de Ahune y acabar con él. Quizás con esta precaución sea suficiente...
