Q35 Drakensang Mountain
Right after you get back to Murolosh Xolgorax will approach you and tell you what's been going on when you were gone - some dragonlike creatures have appeared on the peak of the Drakensang Mountain and King Arombolosh gathered his army to stop them. The priest will also tell you that Rakorium is in the city and wants to talk to you.
1. Talk to Rakorium
Rakorium awaits you in the throne room. He is convinced that his Thesis Crystal should be able to awaken Umbracora. At the end of the conversation he will give you the crystal.
Reward: Thesis Crystal
2. The Journey to the Drakensang Mountain
In order to get to Drakensang you need to talk to Arom.
IMPORTANT! Once you say you're ready to leave you won't be able to return to any of the other locations. Make sure to make every possible preparation - supply on elixirs (especially the healing ones), bandages and get the best weapons and armor you can. On the mountain you will be almost constantly fighting, so pick the best fighters and a mage to support and heal them.

You need to complete Q37.3 Awaken the Adamantine Heart.
4. Don't let Ardakor to be awakened
You need to complete Q37.4 Malgorra once and for all.
Q36 Help the Dwarven Priest
Near the spot you appear at you will see King Arombolosh M13(2). After dealing with nearby enemies talk to him. The King will ask for your help in defending the Sacred Hammer Cave M13(6). He will also allow you to pick a path - a side path M13(5), suited for ranged combat or the main path M13(4),where more melee awaits you. You will cover a part of the way together, then, when you reach the crossroads each party will go it's way.
1a. Follow the main path
Take the lower path to the Hammer Cave.
1b. Follow the side path
Take the upper path to secure your position above the Hammer Cave
2. Defeat the enemies
Once you get near the Hammer Cave you will see that it is being attacked by some dragon-like creatures. You will also be noticed by Stone Angraxa who will call out to you for help. Watch the cinematic in which the first portal is being destroyed M13(7), and then talk to the King (from this point on he will be defending the cave) and Angraxa (she heals for free, so you might want to consider returning to her). You can also buy some things from the field trader.
Q37 The Battle on the Drakensang Mountain
1. Find a way to the peak
1.1 Get past the gate
The gate M13(10) will be opened once the two remaining portals are gone (check 1.2 and 1.3). Before getting through it make sure you are prepared for a fight as there's an ambush awaiting you.
1.2 Destroy the second portal
Portal M13(8) can be found in the southern piece of the location. Enemies keep getting through it so destroy it as fast as possible.
1.3 Destroy the third portal
Path leading to the portal M13(9) is full of traps. Once you destroy it a gate will open leading to the peak of the mountain.
1.4 Kill Malgorra's Guards
Malgorra's Guards M13(11) are four dragon-like creatures. Get rid of them to continue.
2. Stop Malgorra
Get to the peak M13(12) where a ritual is being held and kill Malgorra and her servants.
3. Awaken the Adamantine Heart
Approach the Adamantine Heart and touch it with the Thesis Crystal.
4. Kill Malgorra once and for all
It appears that Malgorra isn't dead yet. She will reappear. And transform into a three-headed hydra. Prepare for a tough final fight.
Monster will move to another location every now and then causing an explosion in the process. Your main character wearing the Armor of Fire will receive little damage, so it should be him/her attacking Malgorra. The remaining characters should be focusing on the creatures she summons and support your hero in fighting the main enemy. You should bear in mind that if Malgorra is not engaged she will cast spells which makes her even more dangerous - that's why she shouldn't be left on her own. Kill the monster she summons as they appear - if you let them grow in numbers they may become dangerous.
Once the fight is over all you need to do is watch the final cinematic
