Jump into the giant whirlpool in Darkshore and go for a ride. Kill the Demon Hunter on the other side and you'll get the item that starts the quest that gives this achievement.

Kommentar von Xirifus

Since this seems to be a 'secret' (since there's no quest to take you there, and that's what the achievement says anyway,) could it be a hint of the next hero class? ;)

Only time will tell, I guess.

Kommentar von 480037

The whirlpool is located at around 53, 32 and is called "Maw of the Void". Jump in, you'll experience a short cinematic and end up in another area. Work your way up and kill the last mob, loot its quest item and start the quest. Go back down, talk to the NPC standing around where you came in to go back. Turn the quest in Auberdine and get your achievement!

This is an Alliance Only Achievement. The quest item does not drop for Horde, and if it did, you would not be able to speak to the Alliance NPC to turn it in.

Kommentar von Kamano

This will probably never come up for anyone else, but... I jumped in the maw while exploring as a horde character. Now several months ago I was sitting around bored in Org, and decided to kill the Cenarion Circle NPC near the flight master's tower. So when I fell down here I was unfriendly with Cenarion, and thus unable to leave this cave without hearthing

Moral of the story; It's probably a bad idea to go to war with cenarion circle

This is an amazingly atmospheric quest, despite its short length.

I believe everyone is free to their own presumptions, but it is not a 'hint' at the next class. Blizzard did, indeed, state that they did not intend to add another hero class/class because of the balancing problem with the new addition of the DK still not where they want it.

If anything, my guess is that it's just an addition to show that this Shattering has revealed more than just new characters and lore, but old lore and characters, such as the demon hunters in training, outcasts of the world, in hiding.

Kommentar von Yakobo15

Don't just jump in from the edge.

Use the path and follow it in, that's how the cut-scene starts.

Will also get the Going Down? achievement from this without taking damage.

Kommentar von Icarui

I believe a horde equivalent of this is the Joy Ride achievement.

Kommentar von Nulgar

This got detached in the comment system overhaul, is actually a reply to this comment

Blizzard did, indeed, state that they did not intend

Some other guy said:

If Blizzard did indeed say they would never add another class to the game, that's pretty huge.

"We do not intend" is not "We will never"

However, here's a blue post to back up what Feral404's said:
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/2623/1-new-class-in-5-years-not-acceptable

Beyond the balance concern, which is a valid one, we don't want to over-saturate World of Warcraft with different classes. We want to make sure each class has a very distinct set of core mechanics from other classes. Continually introducing new classes can tend to bring about a feeling of redundancy if we're not fully comfortable with developing an entirely new set of mechanics distinct from the current classes.

This does not mean that we'll never consider adding new classes to the game as time moves on, but we're pretty happy with the play styles represented by the classes currently available.

While this is from late '09, it pretty much says there are no plans to implement another class (soon)
Just look at the Sunwalker example: lore-wise, its own class, but too close to the Paladin to be its own class in the game. Of course the devs likely didn't think of Sunwalkers first, then decided to emulate them as Paladins, but rather decided to give Tauren the Paladin (and Priest) class and created the Sunwalkers for that purpose, but that shows as well that they'd rather not implement a new ingame class.

Maw of the Void, notably, is also the name of a Starcraft II:WoL mission.

Sign of a lack of imagination in Blizzard? :)

Kommentar von 730417

Jumped in the pool and got disconnected from the server. :D

Except the quest text specifically states he was killed by Maiev. Maiev was vigilantly guarding Illidan in a barrow den deep underground for ten-thousand years before Illidan was released, and spent her time afterwards obsessively hunting him down. There were no Demon Hunters in her way, apart from the 'New' Demon Hunters being trained by Illidan, who were killed by players in an SMV group quest. Even if Maiev did fight a few 'off-screen', none of Illidan's Demon Hunters who weren't specifically named (and killed) were described as being more than half-trained Blood Elves. There's no reason to believe that Maiev had the time or motivation to kill any other major Hunters, meaning this dude has to be (or is extremely likely to be) a ghost of Illidan using another name for whatever reason.
There's also absolutely no way Blizzard's quest writers wouldn't notice the significance of having a demon hunter NPC yell that "You are not prepared", which makes me wonder if they weren't trying to imply that this guy is more than just a pleb. That's not exactly hard evidence, though.
Oh, and judging by WC3 and BC, only Demon Hunters trained by Illidan and Illidan himself use Metamorphosis; he's shown in there to get it by draining the skull of Gul'dan, and his minions by draining fel energy from demons. There's no evidence that any non Illidari Demon Hunters can/do use Metamorphosis, which is another little piece of evidence suggesting that this guy is connected to/is Illidan.

Dang it. I got flushed again!

I played a Worgen character in Darkshore, and, on the advice of another player, I jumped into the Maw of the Void (the really big whirlpool in North Darkshore) and I was "sucked down the drain" to another area. I got the Going Down achievement on entering (due to the drop). There is a Cenarion Circle druid sitting there. Ignore her for now. Go up the embankment, fight a few undead, then you will see a Demon Hunter at the top. Kill him and he will drop a quest item that gives a quest to go to Ranger Glynda Nal'shea in Lor'Danel. Upon turning it in, the achievement will be gained. I have it on my worgen hunter.
I wonder if there is a Horde equivalent. Anyone know?

Kommentar von dgnuff

When I got there the first time, Telarius was not present at the top of the ramp. However talking to the NPC at the bottom, exiting, and then jumping back into the Maw fixed it for me.

Kommentar von 820516

I tried this with my 85 mage recently and found that he doesn't drop any loot if you one shot him! After a few respawns and still no loot, tried again without any weapons equipped and minus my molten armour. He then goes into a 2nd phase at about half HP, where he gets larger. Dropped the quest item that time.

Kommentar von pellmell

It is more likely that your pet or armor one-shot him. In that case, as you would not have caused any damage, you would not be eligible for any loot. This happens to hunters and warlocks all the time when their pets kill something.

Edit: This comment was originally in response to Lwlyan's comment on 2011/04/26, prior to the implementation of the Reply feature.

Kommentar von Lamor

Something that hasn't been mentioned. you dont have to do ANY quests beforehand to get this achievement.

just walk down the ramp and jump into the void.
kill Telarius Voidstrider
grab the quest starter item
turn in quest

Kommentar von Malvenue

Just to clarify what someone said, you MUST jump into the whirlpool from atop the cliffs. Just swimming down into it won't trigger the event.

Kommentar von izaul

So is there a walking path? I seem to understand a yes from what I've read. Could someone make/link a youtube video, that would be awesome.

Kommentar von Lucilite

I think this achievement is currently broken.
I've had several characters try to jump in while completely smashed so they can get Drunken Stupor for Brewfest, since going down into the cave under the maw automatically gives what you need for Going Down too.

I actually had a couple toons successfully do this in the first couple days of the Holiday. But after that, each character who tried just jumped into the whirlpool and ended up swimming around in the water. No "cutscene" of getting sucked into the whirlpool, and no going into the cave beneath. And I did everything the exact same way as I did when it worked the first couple times.
Is this simply a bug, or is there something more I should know?

(FYI the toons that succeeded had already achieved Ghosts in the Dark previously, so I know you can go down there even if you have before. And one of the ones who just failed hasn't even gotten that acheivement yet. So that's obviously not a factor.)

*edit* Never mind, I solved the problem. It turns out there's a small ledge of solid ground right at water level with the whirlpool, which I think is there in case a character falls/swims into the pool by mistake and doesn't get sucked in, so it allows them climb out of the water then climb up a path so they get back to normal ground level of the area. 2 of my toons jumped down from the NORTHSIDE cliffs (where the smaller river pours into the Maw), and landed on this little patch of solid ground which they couldn't see easily from the clifftop. I had one toon climb her way back up, travel around to the SOUTHSIDE cliffs (which are much higher, covered by a larger, wider waterfall area), go to the edge of cliff in the middle of the area of river pouring over (where I could see rocks below me at the Maw's edge), drink the rest of her alcohol, and jump in... Successfully got AND . Unfortunately I was so happy to have just gotten that done, that I hearthed out right away & forgot to kill the dude to get the quest item for . I'm such a dork.

Kommentar von 406009

I did this achievement on my shaman, a few minutes ago. Before you jump into the pool, you may want to cancel your Water Walking buff. Just sayin'.

Kommentar von MsPhelix

See comment 66 by Void Sabre - it explains the quest simply, clearly, and completely.

Kommentar von Kolbruns

For those with flying, you can just hover over the center of the Maw and dismount. =) And isn't it nice to be able to get the Going Down achievement without taking any damage? Beats me flinging myself off the Scryer's Tier a few times like I did with my Death Knight. lol

Kommentar von Layge

Ok, I was pretty confused when attempting this achievement solely because I knew nothing about it. There is a lot of random information in this thread, which didn't seem to paint a full clear picture - so here it is step by step:

Go to around 52, 32 to Maw of the Void, in Darkshore.

If you have a flying mount, just dismount over the whirlpool, if you don't fly, just jump in from up high.

Once you jump in, there will be a cut scene, then a loading screen to take you underneath the whirlpool.

As mentioned in a previous post, there is a Cenarion Druid at the bottom - ignore it; talking to the druid will port you out to a cave, you don't want that just yet.

Fight a couple ghosts - I had to kill exactly 2 (pretty non-threatening as a level 85, of course)

Fight a demon looking thing - he drops a quest that you need for the achievement.

Now go talk to the Cenarion Druid - to port out.

Turn in the quest that dropped from the demon you killed (make sure you click on it in your bags to accept it.

Congrats, you now have this achievement.

Kommentar von 1065519

This achievement will instantly give you the Joy Ride achievement from the Azshara zone for your Horde characters.

Kommentar von 1119173

I cant jump in the whirlpool... Though i found the demon hunter in one cave and got the Writingd of the dark herald, but now i cant find Nal'Shea
pls help

Kommentar von Wimbleton

It can be a little tricky to find the right place to jump in, but if you can get close to 53, 32 and try jumping in from a few places, you'll eventually trigger the scenario. I had vaguely remembered doing this on one character, came back and tried to swim down because I knew there was something at the bottom. Do not try to do that - you can swim down for awhile but then you get stuck in...who knows what? Just made it back to the surface and tried jumping in from other spots. One worked. Going Down? Yup. = )

The Druid ports you to a cave across the river from Lor'Danel and you can turn the quest in when you get back to town. Glynda wanders around but you'll find her.

Kommentar von 710862

Achievement is no longer possible.

Kommentar von eadierlam421

Tried this twice, following different comments.

I dismounted above the center of it - triggered the scenario. One-shotted everything. Got nothing, ported out. Came back, jumped in, triggered the scenario. Took off my buffs, took my weapon off, and just punched everything. Go to see demon get really large partway through, killed him, nothing. Waited for the respawn of the large demon, punched him to death again, nothing. Just copper.

Is this now a broken thing? It's been a while since there have been any new comments.

Kommentar von Romire

Blah, Stupid alliance only quests

Kommentar von 1494418

Where's Maw of the Void? i try to have 45 achievements

Kommentar von 945326

Two other things that I didn't see mentioned.
Although it's explained that you don't want the druid to port you out as soon as you get there, to start this whole thing once you've gone through the cut-scene and you see the druid, you need to run behind him up the ramp to find the two "ghosts" you need to fight.
Don't be discouraged if you kill one and can't find the other one. These "mobs' are like lvl 12, so I assume they figure you're doing this at the roughly the same level. Wait a few seconds and the other one will spawn.
Once you've killed the two ghosts, the "demon looking thing" will spawn in the circle surrounded by candles at the top of the ramp.
After reading the comments here, I removed my level 80 mage's weapon and figured I'd just beat him down with my fists. However, I forgot to turn my water elemental to "passive" so my water elemental one-shotted him. He still dropped the quest item.

Kommentar von Rahaf

As of this WOD expansion, This achievement is still obtainable. STILL ONLY FOR ALLIANCE. Your target to kill is Telarius Voidstrider <Herald of the Dark Embrace> which is found at the Maw of the Void, please note that you will definitely get the Begin Quest Item even if you one shot him. (experienced this my self)

The area is easily located in Kalimdor Map specifically north of Darkshore you can actually see the whirlpool on the map. Jump in . The quest you will get after killing him is This you need to Turn in to Ranger Glynda Nal'Shea

She says: "Where did you fine these? You haven't shown them to any one else, have you? I apologize you took me off guard. Telarius was a very powerful demon hunter, but he was slain during a confrontation with the warden, Maiev, many year ago. You are fortunate that his ghost was only a shade of his former power. I wonder how many have found their way to him in those ruins........"

Turn in and enjoy the Achievement :)

Kommentar von Frahaleah

No additional dialog if done on a Demon Hunter. The dialog is the same from the demon hunter you fight and the turn-in npc at the end, in that there is no alternate dialog if the person doing the quest is a demon hunter or not. But as it's 7.0.3 still, it may change once legion is fully out.

Kommentar von thinwaifer

I tried to complete this last night with my alliance druid. I dropped in just fine, got the quest item just fine, but when I went to turn it in no achievement was awarded. Can anyone confirm that this is working after Legion was released?

Kommentar von dpyers

Runechest behind the demon hunter contained a green level 15 chest piece.
Everything else in the cave scaled to my level 60 character except that item.

Kommentar von romanos

Is this perhaps not working since 8.0? I am in the whirlpool but not getting sucked down

Kommentar von mRshykid

Since pre-patch you can no longer get this achievement if you already have done the
"War of the Thorns" questline, perhaps Blizzard will fix this. Even if you talk to Zidormi you still can not enter the swirl. The only way to get the achievement is by using a low level toon or one that haven't done the "War of the Thorns" yet. Good luck hunting!
p.s. If you love Darnassus and want to use it as your main capital, Zidormi will hook you up.

Kommentar von jbtgame

Does not do anything during War of Thorns. Wonder if it's oversight or intent.

Kommentar von Kerplaw

Anyone reading this in 2019 during Battle for Azeroth you need to speak to Zidormi near Lor'danel to turn it to the old (post Cataclysm) Darkshore in order to complete this achievement.

Kommentar von Misslafay

Post battle of Azeroth:

Go back to how Darkshore was before or it will not work ;)
If you try in current time the rare will attack you instead

Go to Zidormi, she will send you back, jump in the void at 52, 32

Kill the 3 adds and then talk to the NPC

Hand in the quest and your done

Good luck!

Kommentar von mixxizm

Make sure you travel back to "old' Darkshore

Kommentar von Asgnny

If you're trying to do this in 2019 and/or level 120, make sure you are in the old darkshore, and not the level 120 darkshore. Or else the cutscene will not trigger! Happy achievement hunting. <3

Kommentar von Woodymakespizza

Got in as a horde, but no achievement. Then I read alliance only... So sad.

Kommentar von Tigertess

i vent there recently to get the achivement but there a monster called Hydrath in the middle. plus when i jump down there´s no cutscene? what am i doing wrong ?

Kommentar von RIlipso

If it doesnt work, swtich the time by Zidormi, it will work!

Kommentar von Sl4y

Just don't forget to talk Zidormi to change your Darkshore to past version.
