The '''Arcatraz''' is the third wing of the [[Tempest Keep]] [[instance]] and is a prison where the [[Naaru]] jailed the most terrifying and dangerous creatures they encountered on their journeys. Among the inmates of the Arcatraz are agents of the [[black dragonflight]], demons of the [[Burning Legion]], and even servants of the mighty [[Old Gods]]. When [[Kael'thas]] and his followers took the Keep, he sent a warden and guards to the Arcatraz. Kael's [[blood elves]], however, were corruptible and the prisoners have begun to break free...

This item is a quest reward from:
  
−
* {{questlong|Neutral|72|Root Causes}}
  
   
  +
Access into the Arcatraz is obtained through one of these methods:
−
== External links ==
  
  +
* Using a key: This requires completing [[Key to the Arcatraz|a quest chain]] that includes completion of both the [[Mechanar]] and the [[Botanica]], and begins with a long quest chain called {{quest|Consortium Crystal Collection|Consortium Crystal Collection}} from [[Nether-Stalker Khay'ji]] in [[Area 52]].
−
{{Elinks-item|35924}}
  
  +
* Lockpicking by a Rogue with a lockpicking skill of at least 350.
−
[[Category:World of Warcraft uncommon quest rewards]]
  
  +
* A [[Blacksmith]] can use a [[Cobalt Skeleton Key]] to unlock the door. (A [[Titanium Skeleton Key]] will also work.)
−
[[Category:World of Warcraft plate wrist items]]
  
  +
* An [[Engineer]] can use a [[Elemental Seaforium Charge]] to blast open the door.
  +
* Mages can also stand outside the locked doorway and use their Blink spell to "jump" through the locked doorway without the need for the key. NOTE: This may have been fixed in a recent patch. Mage can no longer blink through the door.
  +
  +
''Note:'' Only one member of your group needs the key. However, unlike other locked instances, the door cannot be opened from the inside, and leaving the instance (either by walking out, logging out, or dying and releasing) will require the door to be unlocked again in order for you to reenter.
  +
  +
As with the other [[Tempest Keep]] instances, every member of the group needs a flying mount (or flying form, if a druid) to reach the instance entrance. If you cannot fly you may be summoned by a Warlock instead; the minimum level to enter the instance is 65.
  +
  +
One full run yields about 1800, and one full heroic run yields about 2500 reputation with the [[Sha'tar]].
  +
  +
Note that entry to the heroic version of the Arcatraz, Mechanar, or Botanica requires the [[Warpforged Key]].
  +
  +
The Arcatraz is probably one of the only areas in the game with man'ari eredar trash mobs.
  +
  +
In name and function, the Arcatraz is a reference to [[wikipedia:Alcatraz Island|Alcatraz]], the island prison near San Francisco, California.

== Loot ==
  +
See [[Arcatraz loot]].
  +
  +
== Quests ==
  +
* {{quest|Seer Udalo}} can be found in the room before the last boss, a dead [[Broken]] on the pavement. [[Akama]] in the [[Warden's Cage]] in [[Shadowmoon Valley]] gives a quest to speak with Udalo. In order to get the quest from Akama, you must first complete a chain with your respective faction(Aldor or Scryer). For both factions, the first quest is "{{quest|Tablets of Baa'ri|Tablets of Baa'ri}}."
  +
* {{quest|The Second and Third Fragments}}
  +
* {{quest|Harbinger of Doom}} To kill the final boss, Harbinger Skyriss. Acquired after getting the Key to the Arcatraz (see steps below).
  +
* {{quest|Trial of the Naaru: Tenacity}} To save Millhouse Manaforge on Heroic difficulty. This is one of the initial three trials to earn access to The Eye in Tempest Keep. (This quest chain is no longer necessary to enter The Eye)
  +
  +
== Key to the Arcatraz ==
  +
Only one party member needs to have the key, though rogues with maximum lockpicking can get in (as can their party) without it. The key is the end result of a long series of quests that begins with ''Assisting the Consortium'', given by [[Spymaster Thalodien]] (if you're Scryer) or [[Exarch Orelis]] (if you're Aldor) in [[Area 52]]. ''Assisting the Consortium'' is an optional quest for both factions; you can also pick up ''Consortium Crystal Collection'' directly from Khay'ji.
  +
  +
Optional first step:
  +
  +
* Step 1: {{Questlong|Neutral|68|Assisting the Consortium (Aldor)}}
  +
* Step 1: {{Questlong|Neutral|68|Assisting the Consortium (Scryers)}}
  +
  +
Nether-Stalker Khay’ji at Area 52:
  +
  +
* Step 2: {{Questlong|Neutral|68|Consortium Crystal Collection}}
  +
* Step 3: {{Questlong|Neutral|68|A Heap of Ethereals}}
  +
* Step 4: {{Questlong|Neutral|69|Warp-Raider Nesaad}}
  +
* Step 5: {{Questlong|Neutral|69|Request for Assistance}}
  +
  +
Gahruj at Eco-Dome Midrealm:
  +
  +
* Step 6: {{Questlong|Neutral|69|Rightful Repossession}}
  +
* Step 7: {{Questlong|Neutral|69|An Audience with the Prince}}
  +
* Step 8: {{Questlong|Neutral|69|Triangulation Point One}}
  +
* Step 9: {{Questlong|Neutral|70|Triangulation Point Two}}
  +
* Step 10: {{Questlong|Neutral|70|Full Triangle}} (Group)
  +
  +
A’dal at Shattrath City:
  +
  +
* Step 11: {{Questlong|Neutral|70|Special Delivery to Shattrath City}} - This step gives a very nice 2-hour buff when you hand it in.
  +
* Step 12: {{Questlong|Neutral|70|How to Break Into the Arcatraz}} (Group) - This step requires you to clear The Mechanar and Botanica, since the needed quest items drop from the end bosses. This of course means that you will need a flying mount (or be a level 68 druid) to complete the quest chain.
  +
  +
The Arcatraz key is part of the reward for ''How to Break Into the Arcatraz'', however the quest chain continues with one more quest, which sends you into the Arcatraz itself to kill the final boss:
  +
  +
* Step 13: {{Questlong|Neutral|70|Harbinger of Doom}}

The Arcatraz

The Arcatraz is the third wing of the Tempest Keep instance and is a prison where the Naaru jailed the most terrifying and dangerous creatures they encountered on their journeys. Among the inmates of the Arcatraz are agents of the black dragonflight, demons of the Burning Legion, and even servants of the mighty Old Gods. When Kael'thas and his followers took the Keep, he sent a warden and guards to the Arcatraz. Kael's blood elves, however, were corruptible and the prisoners have begun to break free...

Access into the Arcatraz is obtained through one of these methods:

Note: Only one member of your group needs the key. However, unlike other locked instances, the door cannot be opened from the inside, and leaving the instance (either by walking out, logging out, or dying and releasing) will require the door to be unlocked again in order for you to reenter.

As with the other Tempest Keep instances, every member of the group needs a flying mount (or flying form, if a druid) to reach the instance entrance. If you cannot fly you may be summoned by a Warlock instead; the minimum level to enter the instance is 65.

One full run yields about 1800, and one full heroic run yields about 2500 reputation with the Sha'tar.

Note that entry to the heroic version of the Arcatraz, Mechanar, or Botanica requires the Inv misc key 09 [Warpforged Key].

The Arcatraz is probably one of the only areas in the game with man'ari eredar trash mobs.

In name and function, the Arcatraz is a reference to Alcatraz, the island prison near San Francisco, California.

Mob Abilities Heroic
Arcatraz Sentinel Immune to taunt, and occasionally resets aggro. At low health (about 5%) they glow blue then explode for 4k - 5k damage. Does ~1k arcane charge aoe damage after they're dead, until the blue glow disappears. Can be freeze trapped by a hunter. Does the arcane charge throughout the fight, not just after destruction
Death Watcher At about 50% health, casts Mark of Death on anyone in line of sight. If the Death Watcher is still alive when the debuff wears off then everyone that had it takes 5000 - 5500 shadow damage. The Death Watcher can also cast Drain Life on someone to restore 5k health. Drain Life is considered a magic effect and is dispellable from the tank. Mark of Death now causes 10k - 11k damage when it wears off.

Loot

See Arcatraz loot.

Quests

  • Seer Udalo can be found in the room before the last boss, a dead Broken on the pavement. Akama in the Warden's Cage in Shadowmoon Valley gives a quest to speak with Udalo. In order to get the quest from Akama, you must first complete a chain with your respective faction(Aldor or Scryer). For both factions, the first quest is "Tablets of Baa'ri."
  • The Second and Third Fragments
  • Harbinger of Doom To kill the final boss, Harbinger Skyriss. Acquired after getting the Key to the Arcatraz (see steps below).
  • Trial of the Naaru: Tenacity To save Millhouse Manaforge on Heroic difficulty. This is one of the initial three trials to earn access to The Eye in Tempest Keep. (This quest chain is no longer necessary to enter The Eye)

Key to the Arcatraz

Only one party member needs to have the key, though rogues with maximum lockpicking can get in (as can their party) without it. The key is the end result of a long series of quests that begins with Assisting the Consortium, given by Spymaster Thalodien (if you're Scryer) or Exarch Orelis (if you're Aldor) in Area 52. Assisting the Consortium is an optional quest for both factions; you can also pick up Consortium Crystal Collection directly from Khay'ji.

Optional first step:

Nether-Stalker Khay’ji at Area 52:

Gahruj at Eco-Dome Midrealm:

A’dal at Shattrath City:

  • Step 11: N [70] Special Delivery to Shattrath City - This step gives a very nice 2-hour buff when you hand it in.
  • Step 12: N [70] How to Break Into the Arcatraz (Group) - This step requires you to clear The Mechanar and Botanica, since the needed quest items drop from the end bosses. This of course means that you will need a flying mount (or be a level 68 druid) to complete the quest chain.

The Arcatraz key is part of the reward for How to Break Into the Arcatraz, however the quest chain continues with one more quest, which sends you into the Arcatraz itself to kill the final boss:
