Note: The good news is, it doesn’t get any more straightforward when it comes to exploring Deadwind Pass. It takes about 5 minutes and a straight loop of the zone to reach Karazhan, the third exploration point. Basically, if you’ve run the instance, you really should have this achievement already. Otherwise, do a quick circuit to knock it out!

Guide to Exploring Deadwind Pass

For the World of Warcraft achievement “Explore Deadwind Pass”, you may be pleasantly surprised to find that the zone actually has only three different locations to visit. It’s a bit of a bonus since the area is so small, and in general, you’ll only usually travel between Duskwood and Swamp of Sorrows when in this zone. However, make sure to go south and do some further exploring to get the two other points of interest there.

When you start out, the easiest point to get is Deadman’s Crossing (42,34), the raised land bridge between Duskwood and the Swamp of Sorrows that most players go across when they are in their Level 20s. This area is all at one point – the other two points are much further south.

Horde players may have a harder time getting here for the first time as they’ll need to skirt past the numerous Alliance camps in Duskwood. Once you have a flight path from Stonard in the Swamp of Sorrows though, you can come through from that side and go directly south to the next point of interest, The Vice (58,64).

If you follow the path further south, you will eventually reach Karazhan (45,73), the town in which the dark wizard’s tower is located and where the Level 70 raid is located from the Burning Crusade. Beyond the basic route through the zone, there isn’t anything significant to watch out for here. Be careful of the level 67 – 70 mobs around the tower though.

The explore Deadwind Pass WoW achievement is one that anyone who has run Karazhan should already have, and if you don’t, it’s very easy to get, in as little as 5 minutes.
