The Corrupter

Slay Lord Azrethoc and Jugkar Grim'rod and return to Takata Steelblade in Desolace.
  •  
Lord Azrethoc slain
  •  
Jugkar Grim'rod slain

Description

Although I have no knowledge of this Lord Azrethoc, I agree with Maurin, he must be stopped; especially if he is attempting to gain influence over the Burning Blade to further his goals.

You have already shown you wish to aid the Warchief, and I would trust you to gather a party to slay the demon lord and his warlock servant.

When you are ready, head directly south, and return to me when the threat has been ended.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Basalt Buckler
Enforcer Pauldrons

Progress

Glory to the Horde, and death to our enemies, <name>!

The demons in Desolace pose a greater threat than ever before. My hope of returning to the Warchief dwindles as more and more of the foul creatures seem to appear.

I sometimes wish it was only the centaur we had to deal with.

Completion

A mighty victory for us all, <name>. Let us rejoice in your success. I trust now that our future here is not as bleak as I once thought.

The demons will be slain, the Burning Blade will fail in their efforts, and we may one day have a place we can safely call home again.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 390 experience (23 40 at max. level)

Jugkar is a level 40 warlock. He is not elite, though he does tend to stand near a felhound that will aggro on you if you attack him. He's not all that hard.

The other guy you have to kill is a level 40 elite. He's not too hard. My shaman killed him at 42, my warrior killed him at 38 (with help from a healing potion). He roams the hills to the east of the ruins at Mannoroc Coven. If you stand in a spot where you can see Jugkar, you are likely to see Lord Azrethoc very shortly.

You don't have to kill one to get the other to spawn. They can both be up at the same time. Both roam a small amount so you can pull both solo.

Solo'd Lord Azrethoc, 41 Tauren Shaman. I setup Mana Totem, Stoneskin, Searing Totem and just start bombing on him (I'm DW BTW) heal yourself, but make sure you don't heal thru the MS (it's a waste) If hes giving you trouble Frostshock / Earthbind totem kite and heal up. He should be easy enough to solo @ 40+ BTW I also had that curse that added 15% magical and phyiscal damage taken. So without it you should be able to do it NPS

Found Lord Azrethoc @ 59 78

Lord Azrethoc wanders around the area near Jugkar place. He has his own walk-path. Look out. Although Jugkar is simple level 40 humanoid, Lord is hard elite creature.

This can be soloed as a 36 Warlock by enslaving one of the demons spawned by this quest. https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5581 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5581  Just make sure you don't get any adds, and let your demon get aggro before going all out.

For warlocks:
To beat azrethoc you just chain fear him and have dots up all the time and he's yours
To beat Jugkar you can enslave his pet, and kill him easily that way.

Two good places to do Lord Azrethoc:

1. When he pauses his pat on the small hill by the pool southeast of Jugkar (57.3,79.6). Almost no adds here, except the Deep Strider Giant which passes by every 30m or so. Good spot for melee classes that do him in one spot, without kiting or Fearing.

2. When he pats closest to the main road, giving hunters and other kiters the ability to kite hin down the road, or giving locks and priests room to Fear him.

the lvl 40 elite can be found at the east of manarroc coven- down hill

the best way is to wait for the lvl 40 elite demon to patrol away from the lvl 40 warlock , then aggro lock and run to a reasonable distance whr u wont aggro felhound.... then strike the demon when he is patrolling out alone..

Good luck with this quest!

Just solo'd him as a 41 enhancement shammy. He does do a mortal strike, so for you people with heals out there, be careful.

The way I downed him was set my totems up, pulled with flame shock, as soon as he got where i wanted him, I dropped my Magma Totem and just auto attacked for the most part, after a few hits I used Lifeblood which he then used his mortal strike on me, then I hit him with a stormstrike and he was pretty much done for.

Think I got lucky though, cause windfury proc'd just about every other hit. Using the Mallet of ZF in my main hand and Biting Axe in offhand.

3.2.2 Edit: Reading my posts over, and noticed a typo, fixed it.

Solo'd as a level 38 lock using this tactic:

I enslaved Lord Azrethoc, used him to kill Jugkar Grim'rod and a bunch of demons, once he was pretty low on health, dismissed him and killed him easily.

Soloed Lord Azrethoc as a 39 Elemental shaman. Used Stroneskin, Healing, Searing and Windfury totems with water shield.

Never went below 50% health. I did use Lifeblood (alchemy).

The other guy (Jugkar Grim'rod) is a normal mob and presented no more of a problem then any of the other mobs in the area.

Solo'd as a level 37 balance druid.

Standard stuff for the elite = Starfire -&gt; Moonfire -&gt; Roots , rinse and repeat, keeping starfire up and using Starfire just as roots is running out.

I had to use Nature's grasp on the elite, heal up and use a health potion.

For the mage, just spam Starfire whilst keeping moonfire up, might have to heal atleast once.

Oh and be careful not to aggro other things, better to wait a min or two till their alone than get butt*!@#ed by aload of enemies - go OTT and clear the area if you want.

Solo'd as a 35 feral druid, wasn't even hard. I guess that just tells you how easy things have gotten with the crazy buffs in 4.0.1.

Just threw some HoTs on before starting, only had to pop out of Cat Form once to refresh the HoTs. Other than that, pretty standard cat dps rotation for level 35.
