Rescue Operation is a 10-point achievement earned by freeing three captured Horde prisoners held in the basement of the Alliance main fortress.
Enter the Alliance Keep
Rush into the enemy keep using defensives and gap-closers to push as deep inside as possible. Stealth may work, though an invisibility potion does not.
Die and Respawn Inside
Once inside or near the keep, allow yourself to die, ignore the spirit healer, and run your corpse into the basement of the keep. Respawn in the basement — if an Alliance player removes your insignia, you must restart from the spirit healer.
Kill the Guard, Get Key
Kill the single guard in the basement, who has a 100% chance to drop a
Stormshield Prison Key. Use it to free one of the three prisoners, earning
75 honor and 25 conquest points per prisoner freed.
Wait and Free Remaining Prisoners
The basement guard respawns every 5 minutes and prisoners respawn every 10 minutes, so wait for respawns and repeat the kill-and-free process until all three prisoners have been released.
Alternative: Use Jailer's Judgment
A Horde Paladin with
The Jailer's Libram can cast Jailer's Judgment on you — do not break the stun, and you will be ported directly into the Alliance prison, bypassing the need to fight your way in.
Tips
See the video guide for a visual walkthrough of the basement layout and prisoner locations.
If you collect a key but the prisoners appear to be out in the open with no interaction prompt, this is a known bug — re-enter the basement after a reset and try again.
