The Alpha Prime chapter requires you to bring Ralaar Fangfire to five fountains around Gilneas. This guide covers every fountain location, the landmarks to look for, how the 5-fountain counter works, and what to do if you get stuck at 4/5.
The easiest way to find each fountain is to use the surrounding buildings and structures as landmarks. Watch the quest counter as it progresses from 0/5 to 5/5.
Alpha Prime Fountain Locations: Quick Answer
The Alpha Prime chapter requires you to bring Ralaar Fangfire to five fountains around Gilneas.
The easiest way to find them is to use the surrounding buildings and structures as landmarks:
- Fountain 1: An enclosed residential courtyard surrounded by small red- and orange-roofed buildings.
- Fountain 2: A ruined stone plaza with broken columns, rubble and a glowing rune circle.
- Fountain 3: A fortified town section near the City Entrance, followed by a larger square with heavy gates.
- Fountain 4: A walled garden area with yellow flowers, barrels, a stone bridge and a fire pit.
- Fountain 5: The final checkpoint is confirmed when the objective reaches 5/5 and completes.
The important thing is to watch the quest counter. It progresses from 0/5 to 5/5 as Ralaar reaches the required fountain areas.

How the 5-Fountain Objective Works
After meeting Ralaar Fangfire, the objective changes to:
Bring Ralaar to each fountain (0/5)
Ralaar must accompany you as you move through the area. When you reach the correct fountain checkpoint, the counter advances.
The objective progression
0/5 → 1/5 → 2/5 → 3/5 → 4/5 → 5/5
You do not need to guess whether a fountain has counted. Check the objective after reaching each location.
If the counter does not advance, move Ralaar farther into the area and check the objective again.
Fountain 1: Residential Courtyard
The first fountain is in an enclosed section of the city surrounded by residential buildings.
Look for these landmarks
- Rows of small red- and orange-roofed buildings
- Stone walls surrounding the courtyard
- Stone archways
- A central circular area
- A small bridge-like stone structure above part of the courtyard
Bring Ralaar into the courtyard and check for the objective update.
How to confirm it
The counter should change to:
1/5
Once you see 1/5, you can continue through the city.
Fountain 2: Ruined Fountain Plaza
The second fountain is located farther into the city, in a more heavily ruined section.
The easiest way to recognize it is by the broken stone columns and rubble around the area.
Look for
- A stone-paved enclosure
- Broken classical-style columns
- Rubble scattered around the plaza
- A glowing blue magical rune circle
- Blue- and green-roofed buildings near the entrance
Bring Ralaar into the area and check the objective counter.
Confirm the second fountain
Once the checkpoint registers, the objective changes to:
2/5
If you are navigating by landmarks rather than exact directions, the combination of ruined columns + rubble + glowing rune circle is the key visual clue.
Fountain 3: City Entrance Checkpoint
The third fountain area is associated with a more heavily fortified section of the city.
One of the clearest landmarks is the large gate labeled:
City Entrance
What to look for
- A fortified stone entrance
- The City Entrance gate
- A large gray rectangular stone structure
- Stone walls and defensive structures
- A paved route leading farther into the city
After passing this section, you reach a wider town square with:
- Purple-roofed buildings on one side
- Green-roofed buildings on the other
- Heavy gates in the surrounding walls
- Large stone pillars
Bring Ralaar through this section and check the objective counter.
It should advance to:
3/5
Stuck before 3/5?
If you have reached the City Entrance but the counter has not changed, make sure Ralaar is actually inside the required area rather than standing behind you.
Fountain 4: Flower Garden Courtyard
The fourth fountain is easier to identify because of its distinctive garden surroundings.
Look for
- A walled courtyard
- Rows of yellow-flowering bushes
- Wooden barrels
- Stone flooring
- A stone fire pit or brazier
- An arched stone bridge along the wall
Bring Ralaar into the courtyard and check the objective counter.
When the objective registers, it changes to:
4/5
Fountain 5: Confirming 5/5
The fifth fountain is the one most likely to cause confusion if you are relying entirely on visual landmarks.
The most reliable way to confirm the final checkpoint is to watch the objective counter.
What you need to see
After Ralaar reaches the final fountain checkpoint:
Bring Ralaar to each fountain — Completed
The next objective becomes:
Return to Sylvanas
That is the confirmation that all five fountains have counted.
If you are stuck at 4/5
Before assuming the quest is bugged:
- Keep Ralaar with you.
- Check the objective counter.
- Retrace the route from the last confirmed fountain.
- Look for another fountain/checkpoint area rather than returning to Sylvanas.
- Do not leave the objective area until the counter changes to 5/5.
The most important distinction is that 4/5 means one fountain still has to register. The quest is not complete until the objective itself changes to Completed.
What Happens After All 5 Fountains
Once the fifth fountain registers, the Alpha Prime objective is completed.
The next step is:
Return to Sylvanas
The fountain sequence is also the point where the Worgen threat inside Gilneas becomes much more apparent, leading into the next part of the chapter.
If you are following the campaign in order, keep your Act 3 optional objectives in mind as you progress. Some of the later rewards and side objectives are tied to specific areas rather than being part of the main fountain objective.

Alpha Prime Objective Checklist
Use this checklist if you want to make sure you have completed the entire fountain sequence:
- ☐ Meet Ralaar Fangfire
- ☐ Bring Ralaar to Fountain 1

Who Is Ralaar Fangfire?
Ralaar Fangfire is the character known as Alpha Prime, and he is central to the Worgen storyline in this part of Forsaken Kingdom.
He was once a Night Elf and led the Druids of the Scythe. His transformation into a Worgen and his connection to the Scythe of Elune are important parts of the chapter's story.
For the fountain objective, however, the important detail is simple: Ralaar must accompany you to the required fountain checkpoints.
