Against Lord Shalzaru

Eliminate Lord Shalzaru, and then bring the Mysterious Relic he uncovered to Latronicus Moonspear in Feathermoon Stronghold.
Mysterious Relic

Description

<name>, new scouting reports have given us a good idea on the naga chain of command. Royalty is present amongst their rank and file, and they're the ones calling all the shots.

Specifically, we've identified one of the crueler royals as Lord Shalzaru. Scouts report that he himself has uncovered an odd relic during a recent naga excavation in a cave south of the main ruins, across the water on the Isle of Dread.

Put a stop to it by putting a stop to him, and bring me his relic so we can study it.

Reward

Also, you get: 50

Progress

Bringing down Lord Shalzaru would certainly set their plans back weeks, if not months. On top of that, the relic he uncovered is of definite interest to us.

Have you performed the mission given to you, <name>?

Completion

Well played, <name>! Lord Shalzaru's demise will throw the naga into disarray for some time, if not permanently. The threat they pose is now under more of our control than it has ever been, and we have you to thank for it.

Here is more bounty money from the stronghold treasury - you've earned every copper. You and yours are welcome in Feathermoon Stronghold anytime, my friend.

One more thing before you depart, <name>... if you could...

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 290 experience (17 40 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Darnassus

He is located in in a cave on the island south of Feathermoon Stronghold at 28,71. He is a level 47 non-elite with two guards.

If you are careful and pull from the side, you can grab him and just one of his guards. I was able to sheep the guard closest to me, and only Shalzaru was pulled. Be careful though - the mobs around him spawn ridiculously fast. Just drinking my water to replenish mana sometimes brought new spawns down on me.

You get to the island from the northwest corner. Up hill, then down, following the path until you go under an archway and enter the cave. When you enter the cave, you can go left, straight, or right. Go straight. I'm not a slow killer, and the mobs were respawning when I was about 4-5 mobs ahead, so just be prepared, they respawn quickly behind you. Going straight, it goes up a slight hill, and at the top is a large room with an island in the middle. There are a few mobs sprinkled around the room, and 2 guards with the main mob on the island. You don't need to clear the large room, just clear out one side so you can pull. The guards respawn differently each time, so one time they might be casters, one time melee, and the next time one of each. Both of the guards can be pulled separately by a priest with Mind Soothe. Obviously throw the soothe on the boss, and then pull each one of the guards separately when they are at their maximum distance from the boss. Again, once you enter the cave, you'll be lucky to have 5 minutes before the mobs respawn after you have killed them, so be prepared for that. It isn't hard, its easily soloable by a 42 priest, mostly shadow specced. I was never once below half health or mana, even on the main. You just have to keep moving, and don't *!@# around drinking after every mob or you'll have a respawn elbowdeep up your ass.

NOTE: Another thing I thought I would mention. ALL of the mobs here run off at low health, and with the large concentration of mobs in the place, the likelihood that you will get adds is good. Watch out for them.

Good luck!

Yeah this quest can be a pain, i soloed as a 46 warrior. I was doing fine until i got about halfway into the cave then i died because if a pat agroing me. I released, ran back and rezzed as close to Shalzaru as i could. Once i got in his chamber, I killed all the mobs on the right side and pulled Shalzaru from the side and only got one add with him, still had to use a potion, but i was fine.

Just be careful when doing this quest.

Actually this guy is easier than I expected as a level 34 fury warrior. I had just dinged during the Scales quest, so I hadn't got any new abilities yet.

I was supposed to be killing him together with another 44 warrior, but he disconnected just before we got into the room, and didn't come back for five minutes so I thought I'd just give it a try myself...

He had two caster adds at the time, and with me being a warrior I thought ""Oh well, a corpserun or two and he'll be down"", so I charged forward and changed to Beserker Stance. While I was nuking down the first add, I noticed I had only got aggro from the Lord Shalzaru, and that the other add was still walking around at the other side of the island. Without using any cooldowns, I managed to get down Shalzaru and his add(remember to interrupt the frostbolts).

I had read the comments here, saying it was a pain in the arse, which it showed not to be for me... But I also read about the rare mob, so I decided I'd go check if it was there, which it was. For those people wondering what her name is, it's Lady Szallah. Just do a /target emote when you get up from the water, and you don't have to kill any mobs in order to see if she's there.

EDIT: I charged the add on the right side of the island when you enter the cave.

Did this as a 44 enhancement Shaman. I was able to pull him and one add, killed the add first then him. Had no trouble at all.

The adds next to him will either be melee or the casters. If they're casters and you're a shaman, kill one add first while keeping grounding totem down and shock as often as you can to avoid the spells and you should be fine.

Soloed as a 44 hunter marskman. pretty easy went on the right side and made my pet attack the first guard but i aggored the other 2 guards and Shalzaru. Made my pet take all the hits and healed it. I got down to 50% health at the least.

Here is a few tips for doing this quest.

#1- If you are a melee class (Warrior, Rogue, Paladin, Enhancement Shaman and Feral Druid) make sure you use LoS to your advantage for the casters. I found that I could aggro from far away and run to about the mouth of the cave and they would follow most of the ways up.

#2- Don't take too long, these guys respawn fairly quickly.

#3- When fighting Lord Shalzaru you may pick up another add. Do your best to avoid this but be warned that it may happen.

#4- Generally stay to right side and just focus on mobs that way.

#5- Once he is dead you should probably just use your Hearthstone, otherwise you will be fighting most of the mobs you just killed.

Just following the straight line to complete this quest, there are 3 Mithril nodes -- two on either side of the middle pathway (slightly behind pillars/stalagmites), and one just past Shalzaru. Worth it to clear the entire chamber Shalzaru is in if you're a miner (got me to 230 Mining, yay).

He had one caster and one melee add when I did this. Since you can pull just one add if you do it from the side, I'd recommend pulling the melee add if you have one of each (they're easy to tell apart). Since Shalzaru is a melee mob, it's an easier fight with 2 melees that stick together.

Easily soloed as a 45 level Gnome Mage, just Polymorph the guards and pwn the Lord.
My talents are frost and this Q is more than easy...

Anyone else having trouble getting the quest item off this guy? Bugged? Lvl 80 doing the quest for Loremaster and he will not drop the item. I don't have it in my bags. Killed him 3x so far, no relic. Oi!

Edit: Went back about a week later after dropping the quest and reacquiring it and he dropped the Mysterious Relic right away. Odd.

Mage 64 doing Loremaster, Shalzaru wasn't even in the Temple.
4-Gaurds and 3-Sorcerers only.
Shot them all, to see if he would show up, but no deal.
Aha! hes just ahead not through the under-water path :)
dropped first time.
