This spawns a level 38 naga that you need to kill. I did this quest along with a lot of other quests in there area and I wasn't really prepared for the level 38 naga. As a 32 pally I was able to solo it but it was a loooooong fight and I had respawns on the normal naga. You may want to kite him to the tiny rock island next to it as soon as you pull him.

Approach the island from the north as there are a lot of mobs crowded together on the south side. Besides the statue is on that side of the island. The mob is a non-elite lvl 38. relatively easy. I solo'd him at lvl 35.

The Statue have about 1 min cooldown if you fail to tag the mob. I worried I had to drop and pick up the quest again, since my pet accidentaly killed the mob before I hit it. (At lvl 80)
