Don't bother killing the mobs. Just run all the way through. At 54, 39 you will lose all aggro. To reach Chromie and Eternus at the same time with your Chrono Crystal stand at 52.60, 42.75.

Going back so far in time and seeing Ragnaros, Al'akir and Therazane in battle with the Black Empire, albeit briefly, was honestly cool as hell.

Comment by gnomeregannn

tldr; if you came to this page, you might be pressing the wrong action button :)

I came here because I was stuck on this quest for an embarrassing amount of time. Could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Well I was pressing the ability button for "temporal displacement" and not the button next to the quest text. Still embarrassing, figured I'd mention it in the event someone else mentally zoned out while doing these and was spamming the wrong button.

Comment by KellydaMan

From what I can tell, based on the voice lines you hear while in The Black Empire, the presences are most likely the following Old Gods' respective whispers:
Maddening = Yogg-Saron
Knowing = N'Zoth
Observing = C'Thun
Piercing = Y'Shaarj

Comment by Lagdarr

For those who are wondering, you can go down and kill Therazane (it takes a while, but she doesn’t really do that much damage so it’s more than manageable. If you go further down into the pit (I think it’s called the Maw of Gor’ma) it will insta-kill you though.

Comment by jackincrack

This area gives a vibe of Half-Life 1 when you get to Xen

Comment by meganerd18

What the hell is this Grotesque Bulwark? Literally can't get past it, no matter what. And hey, guess what? It's blocking the path. Temporal displacement is 100% useless.

I see what happened. Somehow a mob from the follow up objective where you have to defend Chromie and Eternus got itself onto the path to them and decided that was its position. Basically had to let everything reset.

Comment by TamiayTheGnome

Warning, if like me you have depression, anxiety or schizophrenia, the whispers here can be quite jarring.
In myself, it triggered a pretty bad depressive episode. (I know what people without these issues might say, if I'm this delicate, I shouldn't be playing video games, or whatever.)
But instead of complaining about it, which I'd love to do, but I won't. I'll suggest what helped me.
Turn your game sound off Control + S by default. Then click combat log, so you can't even read those old god whispers.
Having awful voices popping up saying "You will die" and "Your friends will betray you" is pretty awful. When you have to deal with voices saying that kind of thing when it's not the game sound.
Much love to my fellow people with mental health issues. Hopefully we'll see a brighter future some day. <3

Comment by refuse2Xist

If you're an idiot like me, and you got stuck on the last part in Nyalotha, stand in the center of the blue quest circle on your minimap. I couldn't figure out where to stand for the spell button to appear and I was running around like crazy.

Comment by QueenSylvanas

For those who are wondering who are the voices that are whispering in your ear during this quest:

Observing Presence: is C'thun Old god that was imprisoned in Anq'iraj the Fallen kingdom, we meet him in Vanilla world of warcraft.

Maddening Presence: is Yogg-saron Old God that was imprisoned in Ulduar of Northrend, we meet him in Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

Knowing Presence: is N'zoth Old God that was Imprisoned beneath the oceans of Azeroth, we meet him in the battle for Azeroth expansion.

Piercing Presence: is Y'Shaarj Old God that was Imprisoned in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in Pandaria, we meet him in the Mists of Pandaria Expansion.

they were a nice touch in this Quest alongside the Elemental Lords fighting their forces.

Comment by ArkhamHorror

While present in Ny'alotha the player will hear whispers from unspeakable presences. As noted by others these are C'thun, Yogg-saron, Y'Shaarj, and N'zoth. The first three are repeated verbatim from their appearances in Ahn'Qiraj, Ahn'Kahet: The Old Kingdom, and Siege of Orgrimmar.

Observing Presence — C'thun

Maddening Presence — Yogg-saron

Piercing Presence — Y'Shaarj

Unlike the others N'zoth has new voice lines. It's very likely that Its whispers are foreshadowing future events or lore like Il'gynoth in Legion. It is also the only one to not directly taunt us.

Knowing Presence — N'zoth

Despite being killable The Old Gods are outside the cycle of life and death. They're likely dead but dreaming in The Sleeping City, Ny'alotha. After we tumbled through time and met N'zoth for the "first" time, It now has millennia to develop infinite new uses for us.

Comment by FalconRunner11

Very very cool to see the Elemental Lords here at the Black Empire. However, why was Neptulon missing? I don't know of anything in the lore that would suggest he wouldn't be there with the other three lords.

Comment by Findoan

I left this quest while inside Nyalotha to go run with friends, and had a heck of a time finding where to go back to restart it. Go back to the original portal in Thaldraszus, at the Shifting Sands FP. 60,82

Comment by Paok

If you for some reason abandoned the quest or exited the place you can restart through the portal in /way 59.96 82.26
Andantenormu the quest giver is in there.

Comment by Inkjoy7

60%

If you are stuck, don't use the action button, use the button by the quest on screen. This will cause it to go to the full 100% you need.

Many thanks to karpana <Premium User> 7 days ago (Patch 10.0.2), who posted below:

For those struggling... don't use the large action button (within the quest's blue circle). Use the quest's "crystal"

Comment by Yaphiik

It seems Neptulon is missing for some reason. The other three Lords are there, but not him.

Comment by Heartbourne

If you are looking for the feature that lets you level in other expansions, see https://www.wowhead.com/guide/chromie-time-leveling-zone-expansion-scaling

Comment by Ehayen

If you fall off into the mote you might as well suicide because there is no way to get out.

Also don't do like I did and assume it's a dungeon instance where you have to kill the mobs. They are just there for decoration. However if you attack them they will one-hit you.

Comment by Magnatross

of course they removed c'thun's most memorable whisper lol

Comment by Annoli

There is a portal on that disc above flight-path shifting sands. I did some quests there and probably thought I'd remember where I left off, I did not.
However, you need to go to said disc and take the black empire portal and you are there.

Comment by Trollokdamus

"You will follow him to the deep places. The dark waters will flow in his wake."

I wonder if this was a sneak peek of The War Within.
