In WoW Classic Season of Discovery phase two, the Intervene rune for Warriors is exceptionally useful on players looking to be a tank. Intervene allows you to charge towards an ally and intercept an incoming melee or ranged attack. Additionally, the rune causes you to reduce all threat your target ally generates, making you an even more reliable tank.

The Intervene rune is engraved onto the boot item slot for Warriors and serves as a must-have new rune for players looking to guide their allies through dungeons at the tank position. Here’s how you can get the Intervene rune in WoW SoD phase two. 

Intervene Warrior rune location in WoW SoD phase two

At coordinates [68, 90] in Thousand Needles, near the Silithid-infested Rustmaul Dig Site in the southwest corner of the Shimmering Flats, you will find three target dummies, each of which have enormous statues posted behind them. Pay very close attention to these statues, especially when it comes to the weapons they’re holding.

These three statues, from left to right, feature characters holding a two-handed sword, two one-handed axes, and a sword and shield. The weapon loadouts of these statues should give you a hint as to how you should attack the target dummies in front of them.

Attack the dummies in the following order with these specific attacks:

  1. Attack the target dummy on the left with an Execute spell while holding a two-handed weapon.
  2. Then target the dummy in the middle, equip two one-handed weapons, and cast Taunt.
  3. Finally, target the dummy on the right, equip a sword-and-shield, and cast Shield Bash on it.

Casting these three spells with the necessary weapons on the correct dummies in the right order will summon a chest close by that you can loot to get the Intervene rune.
