The priestess is at the very top of the city. It's a good idea to go get the hammer for ZF from the Altar of Zul before doing this quest. The priestess patrols around the altar needed to enchant the ZF mallet. In addition, Elder Torntusk is on the altar. Finishing the next part of his quest requires going into the cave behind the altar, which is where you can finish killing all the guards needed to complete this quest. You can kill several birds with one stone if you play it right.

Fighting the priestess, I was able to do it with a 54 shaman and 49 shaman. She likes to polymorph you, and the spell won't break from damage nor will it cause you to regenerate. She also uses Shadow Word: Pain, so be ready with some heals. Be sure to take out the nearby guards and dogs before pulling her, she will run once her health gets low.

In 2.3, this quest is now to kill 10 guards and Hexx, and the guards aren't elite any more, so this isn't classified as a group quest. Both rewards are top notch.

This was the most annoying quest I ever did as a Shadow Priest, lvl51. She constantly hexes you! I barely had time to silence her once, cast SW:P then I got hexed again. I almost kicked my computer.

I didn't die, but she's really really fast on the hexing. Just make sure you put the PW:S on you and keep SW:P-ing her. If you get the chance, Silence :)

i completed this with my 46 rogue.... just pull them out one by one, and if u aggro more than one guard, just sprint to one of the fountains at the top of the stairs and swim farthest you can away from the shore.... also, i used my ""Insignia of the Horde"" for her polymorph/hex.... again, not a hard quest, reccomend this along with that saving elder torntusk quest

53 Warrior, couldn't solo it. I was literally hex'd for the WHOLE fight. I was going to Pummel the first cast but it's evidently an instant cast so that didn't really help.

Really frustrating since literally RIGHT before this a hunter solo'd her. At least he stuck around to help me.

Soloed this as a level 50 sword spec rogue. I found her near the altar roaming around without any adds - just popped Blade Flurry, Evasion, and Adrenaline Rush and she went down real fast, no problems. Judging from how fast she went down, I definitely think I overdid it on the cool downs. :-)

I've done this and about 4 other quests in this area and I have had enough! Not going back! Not a fun place. These guys aggro fairly fast and maybe it's me, but I just had an awful time finding my way around.
My main is a hunter and I miss tracking.
This quest was not as bad as I thought it would be. When you go to find the key in the cave, the holder is pretty far back there.
When I came upon them it looked like there were 4 all together.
But there is one that separated from the others.
I was able to pull that one and then there were 3. I sent pet to key holder and dotted her up, feared another and DC another.
Got the key with most of my life.
Then the long treck back out. /sigh

Nice reward, as a 46 lock, I took the cloak.

The coords for her are roughly 59,77.

As a lvl 50 protection paladin I had some trouble with her hex ability, since it is an instant cast and I only have 1 bubble. My advice to other protection paladins is to cast Seal of the Crusader and judge it, then cast Seal of Righteousness and judge that as many times as possible, using hammer of wrath when she has low hp is also really nice.

If you have trouble finding 10 guards, I reccommend going into the cave that is behind her, there you can find plenty of guards.

Can't solo with mine 48 Rogue. She non-stop turned me into frog. In one try I push her to around 250 hp, but she hexed me and she heals yourself. The loot is pretty nice so I'm pretty sure to back there in 50-51 level.

Soloed as a 47 Frost Mage.

When getting out of the tunnel, start casting frostbolt. She was at 30% when she hexed me, just Ice Block and continue. I counterspelled her heal and that was pretty much it.

Solo'd as lvl 50 Protection Paladin .. sort of. Upon first entering the altar area where the quest NPC is chained I saw Hexx standing nearby. I aggroed and fought her with normal melee and spells and she turned me into a frog and I was unable to break it. She kept hitting me and damaging me while I was a frog. When it broke she immediately re-hexxed me into a frog again. When that broke I was able to unleash a Seal of Justice (x% chance to stun the target for 2 seconds) which it did stun her and that probably saved me from being hexxed a third time. She became low on HP and began to cast a heal but a Hammer of Justice interrupted. SoJ stunned her a second time which probably saved me from another hexx and I was able to melee her a few more times to her death. I completed the quest at the altar and picked up the new one to get the key somewhere in the cave. That was not too difficult to do.

But, on the way out of the cave I saw that Hexx had respawned and i would have to fight her again. I aggroed and she pulled a mob with her. This time she kept me hexxed as a frog constantly. Every time it broke she would immediately recast. If I remember correctly she hexxed me into a frog a total of 7 times, combined with the fact that she and her add were hitting me the whole time as a frog and I could not fight back she utlimately ended up killing me.

To complete the quest, I did the corpse run from the graveyard but did not rez right away. I stayed as a ghost and watched for a minute and noticed that she does not always stay at the altar but sometimes walks back to the entrance to the cave. I waited and after a minute she walked to the cave entrance, I rezzed, threw on a quick heal, ran to the altar, clicked on quest giver to complete and ran out. Quest complete. IMO this was not a fun quest. I compare it to running up to a mob and then just standing there and doing absolutely nothing while the mob beats you to your death. This quest felt like I was doing just that. As for the quest rewards, both are nice but I took the cloak for the +12 spell power.

im a level 48 undead rogue....sap first, then blind , then ghoslty strike, and sinister strike....you know have 4 combo points to rupture with....rupture is the key...she hexed me twice...have a potion ready and your sinister strike...rupture when hex wheres off so she takes damage while you are a frog...it also helps to be a herbalist (easier to use the lifeblood to heal) you have to be quick

I soloed easy as a lvl 48 shammy, but didnt get pollymorphed. When I was coming back after doing the quest from the dude on the alter I died to her twice. Very anoying but if you have some good burst you should be able to solo

Soloed easily as 49 SV hunter, didn't even give her time to hex me. Clear out the guards if possible first, makes things a lot simpler. Interrupts are your friend, as with any caster (Belf racial in my case). A lovely necklace to go with the trinket from the Revantusk guard captain quest.

Solo'd as a lvl 47 retadin. I do have herb so lifebloom was a life saver. Constant hexing/poly is still there and had a couple times I could get off a holy light or 2. bubbled once and potted, and had to pull LOH as well.

was a massive pain in the rear to do. still awards 8800 exp at 47

Soloed as a 46 Protection Warrior. I failed 1st attempt when a guard added and she basically hexed me to death. 2nd attempt, I cleared and got her solo. She only got a chance to hex me once.

44 S Priest soloed. Get her one on one, I chose the little land mass north of the cave entrance by the water. I'm disc-shields help (especially the talent that makes your PW: S damage her.) Anyway... put your shield up... THAT'S ABOUT IT. Seriously, she will eventually get low on mana, and you will then have your 49 twink cape for BG's. Same strat for guards.
