WoW: Dragonflight – How to Complete Beyond the Barrier Quest

This questline may seem difficult, but it's well worth it!

Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft (WoW) is an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game). Released in 2004, the game is one of the oldest in the online gaming scene. To explore the virtual world of Azeroth, which is the game’s landscape, accomplish missions, interact with other players, and fight diverse monsters and enemy groups, players create characters in the game and select from a range of races and classes. With millions of players and a massive, constantly-expanding world packed with intricate mythology and a continuing plot, WoW has grown to become one of the most well-known MMORPGs of all time. The game has undergone a number of expansions that have included new areas, races, classes, and features, making it a dynamic and thrilling experience for its players.

Beyond the Barrier is a quest that involves a few steps in order to complete. As it is new to the game, players will be able to have a new experience. This is especially beneficial to novice players, as they are not simply following in the footsteps of veteran WoW gamers. Here is how you can go about completing the quest.

  • Firstly, you will need to get the questline from Taiyang, a Pandaren located at the Life Vault Ruins in The Walking Shores.
  • Taiyang’s coordinates are 66, 58.
  • After this, complete Site Salvage and Unearthed Troublemakers, two quests which you will be given.
  • Site Salvage can be finished close to where you picked up the quest. After, you will need to take down 12 earth elementals to move on to the next stage.
  • The next step is to pick up Lofty Goals, Distilled Effort and Rapid Fire Plans, which can be found at 66.7, 56.2.
  • Completing these quests will bring you near the south side of the Life Vault Ruins.
  • Your next task will be to gather Primal Flame Fragments which you can get from elementals and primalists for Rapid Fire Plans.
  • To succeed in Lofty Goals, you must travel through a whirlwind obstacle course.
  • The next quest can be found at 71, 57, where you must find the elemental known as Acequian to finish Distilled Effort.
  • Your final quest is to finish Let’s Get Theoretical, which requires you to go back to 66.7, 56.2 and trigger the quest there to finish it.

Now that you are done all of the quests, you can pick up Beyond the Barrier and then you need to fight the Discordant Watcher. This fight may be a bit challenging for some players, so ensure you are prepared before engaging. Once you successfully take the Discordant Watcher down, click on the Fragmented Record rubbing and talk with Taiyang again. They have returned to the position that you found them in at 66, 58. Now you are done the questline! Congratulations, and we hope that you enjoyed this quest.
