Target: Gahrron's Withering

Go to Gahrron's Withering in Western Plaguelands to locate and defeat the Cauldron Lord present there, and use its key to gain access to the cauldron. You must have the Empty Gahrron's Withering Bottle with you to secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron.

Empty Gahrron's Withering Bottle
Provided Item:
Empty Gahrron's Withering Bottle

Description

The last cauldron that remains is located on a farm now called Gahrron's Withering. It is guarded by some of the Scourge's tougher minions - specifically, wraiths and ghosts. They are not to be trifled with, <name>.

Gahrron's Withering is due northeast of our position here, close to where the Eastern Plaguelands begin; again, eliminate the cauldron lord present there for its key. Here is your empty sample bottle; bring it to me filled. May the Light protect you in this dangerous mission, <class>.

Progress

An access panel to the cauldron remains securely fastened. In order to open it, you will need to find the key.

Completion

Cauldron Lord Soulwrath's key disintegrates as it touches the lock on the access panel at the base of the cauldron's platform. A slight clanking noise is heard within, and the access panel swings open to reveal more viscous toxins within the cauldron's framework.

There is a small spigot that the bottle fits well enough under, allowing you to draw a sample for High Priestess MacDonnell back at Chillwind Point.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 620 experience (37 20 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Argent Dawn
  • 250 Reputation with Alliance

I'd advise against clicking on ""Blood of Heroes"" if you see it, unless you are prepared to fight against two level 58/59 elites :)

I had trouble on this one only because of the Boss kicking me up and silencing me. He has some kind of putrid stench spell that silences you. He only does one or the other, but with him knockin you around, you better clear a rather large space.. lol. I shackled the boss and dealt with his adds, which seemed to have at this point allowed me to get the closest to killing him.
