WoW The War Within: How to Complete the Puzzle for We Require More Minerals

Most of this quest is just following the markers on your minimap and interacting with whatever object is outlined. However, there’s a puzzle where you have to open valves so that water can flow to the boilers. Since there’s no explanation about what to do at this point in the quest, quite a few players have found themselves stumped.

The valve puzzle takes place in the room to the left of the main room for this section. When you walk in and interact with the console, it doesn’t work. This leads to Dagran requesting that you get water to the boilers. Head into the room to the left. Here, you’ll find three sets of valves. For the first set, open the middle valve. Next, use the bottom valve for the second set. Finally, the top valve for the third set. This completes the objective and lets you continue to the next task.

Once you complete this puzzle, the last tasks of the quest have you return to using the markers on the minimap. Order Zee-Zee to decontaminate five crushers and kill the enemies that come out of them. Then, clear rubble off the tracks for the minecart. After that, you’ll move to the next quest in this storyline.

And that’s how to complete We Require More Minerals in WoW: The War Within. It’s one of only a few main quests that includes a puzzle. From here, check out our WoW guide hub for more content as we work to expand it!
