Stratholme

Theroachman: /* Item List */ Added all content

Stratholme is a level 55-62 instance in the northern part of [[Eastern Plaguelands]]. Recommended player level is 57+. There are multiple ways that this instance can be approached. Each method takes a different amount of time.

It actually has two entrances - one (the front) is in the northwestern end of the zone, and the other (the back, or service gate) is just east of Plaguewood. The service gate entrance requires the Key to the City, which drops off of Magistrate Barthilas inside the instance.

As one might guess, the instance is effectively split into two halves, which I'll refer to here as the '''Scarlet side''' and the '''Scourge side'''. (I welcome any suggestions for better designations. --[[User:Teiran|Teiran]])

== Walkthrough ==

The '''Scarlet side''', despite nominally being the 'first' half, is very time-consuming. I would estimate that it takes about two and a half hours to complete, and that the zone respawn is one and a half hours. What follows is a walkthrough from the front instance portal to the end of the Scarlet Bastion.

The first few pulls on the Scarlet side consist of ~3 elite zombies, all melee, and ~4-5 non-elite skeletons, evenly split between casters and melee. Upon dying, the zombies will reanimate; if not killed quickly, they will explode and do ~800 AoE damage. You'll also probably see clickable Supply Crates on either side of the street; some of these contain supplies such as potions and scrolls, not to mention the quest item Stratholme Holy Water. Others contain lots of plagued rats/maggots/insects that you'll want to AoE down. In fact, you'll be seeing a lot of plagued AoE fodder if you get too close to the sides of the street, as the pests seem to be proximity-triggered spawns. Be wary of all barrels and crates in Stratholme. (Note that dwarves can use their Find Treasure racial ability to identify which crates are 'good.')

Monsters other than the zombies and skeletons include various forms of ghouls (Plague Ghouls, 57+) and abominations (Patchwork Horrors, 58+). These wander around and are not linked to the zombie/skeleton groups, so they can and should be pulled singly. The abominations here, like those outside the instance, have knockback.

Also of note are the non-aggro Spectral Citizens that wander the streets. To free them, you'll need the Egan's Blaster quest item. Otherwise, avoid damaging them, as they pose no threat to you. Turn left at the first intersection to proceed onward, where you'll again have the choice of going left or right. Going left here brings you to a cul-de-sac where the Stratholme Courier (57+) spawns. If you kill the Courier, he'll drop keys to open three of the five postboxes scattered throughout Stratholme. If you go right instead, you'll see an open gate. This is one of Stratholme's many gate traps--once somebody clears the gate threshold, it will drop, and mass AoE fodder will pour in from a side passage. It is possible to fake the gate out by crossing and re-crossing the threshold, but if it goes wrong, keep in mind that the gate blocks LoS and will thus prevent healing.

Once you pass the gate trap, you'll see another fork in the road. Hearthsinger Forresten (57+, initially non-aggro) often spawns in this area. If you proceed left, you should see a large raised iron gate--this is your goal. The pulls in this area remain the same as those at the entrance. Once you make it to the gate, you'll see the first signs of life in Stratholme--an imposing barrier of Scarlet Crusaders standing amongst some boxes and crates.

From here on out, you will be dealing mainly with humanoids. It's standard procedure to sheep pull from this point onward; this is because each pull consists of 3-4 Scarlets--two melee and one to two casters. Kill the melees first (they have the annoying ability to charge in combat), then turn your attention to the sheep and have a mage Counterspell to force the mob to try and melee. The entire section pulls this way.

Clear the courtyard and make your way to the door of the Bastion; it requires the Scarlet Key from [[Scarlet Monastery]], but can be lockpicked. Go through the short entrance hall and hang a left. Welcome to the Scarlet Bastion!

Systematically begin clearing the pulls as described above. Be advised that when you clear a room, a Scarlet Crusader will yell something about the Scourge breaking in--this means that you should expect undead adds (non-elite skeletons) from the rear. If your group knows they're coming, they'll be easy to dispatch. Of note in the first real hall: a patrol of two Scarlet Conjurors comes all the way to the end, and may aggro you while you're in the entrance hall if you're not careful. At the far end of the hall, in a side room to the left, is Malor the Zealous (60+), who drops nothing of note.

Eventually you'll come to a hall with two locked doors--the door to the Hoard at the near end, and the door to the Hall of the High Command at the far end. The Hoard is home to Cannon Master Willey (60+) and resembles the Barracks in SM. Trash mobs include Scarlet Defenders (paladin NPC's, 58-59+) and Scarlet Priests, in mixed groups of (you guessed it) 3-4. The Scarlet Hammersmith (60+) also spawns here from some blacksmithing plans on a table.

At the end of this section is Cannon Master Willey (60+ humanoid), flanked by two cannons pointing down toward the end of the hall. Don't worry, he won't be using these cannons--but you will! Leave someone in charge of cannon duty while the rest of the party rushes Willey. At intervals during the fight, ranged adds will appear behind the party at the end of the hall. Whoever is on cannon duty must click the piles of cannonballs around Willey to obtain ammunition for the cannon, and then load and fire at the adds. If your cannoneer is diligent in spotting adds, they should never come into play during the fight. Willey himself is a strictly melee boss who shouldn't pose much of a problem. His drops include the Master Cannoneer Boots (plate boots, +21 sta, +10 str), Shadowcraft Spaulders (rogue set leather shoulders), Cannonball Runner (trinket), the plans to the crafted dagger Heartseeker, and Willey's Portable Howitzer (gun).

Once you've killed Willey, return to the main hall and hang left to avoid aggro from the mobs standing in the hall. You may notice a new type of mob here, one wielding a staff in one hand and a glowing orange sword in the other--this is a Crimson Battle Mage. Much like player mages, they can deal massive AoE damage in the form of Arcane Explosion and Blast Wave. (more)

Congratulations, you've reached the final hall of the Scarlet Bastion. Keep doing what you've been doing. Once you clear the far pull, a group of four Scarlets will filter in from the right--if you've been careful enough to stay back, they won't aggro immediately, and you can treat them the same as any other pull. Dispatch them and turn your attention to the side room on the left; this is the room of Archivist Galford (60+), quest objective of The Archivist. Kill him and burn his archive to complete the quest. On the right wall of this room, you'll find a painting of twin moons; this is the painting, "Of Love and Family," that Artist Renfray in Caer Darrow sends you to recover and bring back to Tirion Fordring as part of that quest line.

Turn around and look across the hall. Sitting on the Crimson Throne is Grand Crusader Dathrohan (62+), the final boss of the Scarlet side. Don't be intimidated; he has strong physical attacks, but he's by himself and doesn't summon any adds. That's the good news. The bad news is that he's really a dreadlord. At some point, Dathrohan will transform into the mighty, and much larger, Balnazzar (62+); he may also regenerate all his health. Balnazzar hits hard in melee and can AoE fear. [I need to figure out what his special abilities are.]

Eventually he will die. If you've already completed and turned in The Archivist, you'll be able to loot Balnazzar's head to deliver to Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff at Light's Hope Chapel. Drops include Demonshear (53.9 dps 2h sword), Star of Mystaria (necklace), Wyrmtongue Shoulders (+23 agi, +10 sta leather shoulders), Crown of Tyranny (mail helm; +20 sta, -10 spi, +40 atk pwr, +1% crit), Gift of the Elven Magi (41.3 dps dagger).

You'll have to exit the Scarlet Bastion to continue, but you'll notice that it's been overrun with undead. You'll have to fight your way out through about a dozen spawns of 1-2 elite ghouls and non-elite skeletons. Once outside, you'll see a ghoul doing laps around the front courtyard of the Bastion; this is Timmy the Cruel (58+). Other than his yelling "TIMMY!" there's nothing special about him. Drops include the Grimgore Noose (cloth belt), The Cruel Hand of Timmy (40.1 dps 1h mace), Vambraces of the Sadist (plate bracers; +7 sta, +6 spi, +2% chance to hit; +1% crit).

[more to come, including directions on obtaining the Key to the City from this point]

---

The '''Scourge side''' of Stratholme effectively begins at the back instance portal. Every mob you'll meet from the service gate entrance all the way through to the Baron (with the exception of Thuzadin Necromancers and Shadowcasters) will be undead. It's imperative that your priest be judicious with shackles, and that you help the priest by leaving shackled targets alone. While your mages won't be using Polymorph quite as often as they did on the Scarlet side, the aforementioned Necromancers and Shadowcasters are humanoid and therefore can be sheeped. Additionally, the Scourge side is full of casters that are pull-resistant, so mages' Counterspell ability will be useful for dragging these mobs back to the group.

You need the Key to the City to unlock the gate protecting the back instance portal. Once inside the instance, you'll still need the Key to unlock various other gates--including the service gate itself. If you leave the gate closed and look on the other side, you'll see the same pull that greeted you at the front instance portal: ~3 elite zombies, ~4-5 non-elite skeletons. You may also see Magistrate Barthilas hanging out just beyond the first pull. When you unlock the gate, though, Barthilas will run away. Don't worry, you'll see him again later.

The first open area after the service gate consists of three of these pulls, at which point someone with the Key will have to open the gate straight ahead at the far end. Go down the passageway and proceed to the right, using the Key to open the gate there. This is the Gauntlet, arguably the most difficult part of Stratholme.

The Gauntlet has five main mob types: 1) '''Crypt Walkers''' (59+) and '''Crypt Beasts''' (60+); 2) '''Rockwing Gargoyles''' (57-58+) and '''Rockwing Screechers''' (58-59+); 3) '''Wailing Banshees''' (58+); 4) '''Plague Ghouls''' (57-58+), '''Ghoul Raveners''' (58-59+) and '''Fleshflayer Ghouls''' (60+); 5) '''Thuzadin Shadowcasters''' (58-60+) and '''Thuzadin Necromancers''' (59-61+). Of these, only the ghouls and the Rockwing Gargoyles will immediately attempt to melee the party--the other mobs all have some sort of ranged attack that could cause problems when pulling. Be especially careful of the Rockwing Screechers, which have the ability to AoE fear the party; if surrounding mobs haven't been cleared, this can easily result in a wipe.

To proceed on from the Gauntlet, you'll have to clear three towers. On the map to which we've linked, the towers are marked 3 (Nerub'enkan), 4 (Baroness Anastari), and 5 (Maleki the Pallid). Each has a boss parked in front of its door, and clearing each tower involves killing the boss, entering the tower, and killing the six acolytes within. Once you accomplish this, you'll hear a zonewide yell along the lines of "Thuzadin Acolyte yells: An Ash'ari Crystal has fallen!..." This is the signal that the tower has been 'cleared.' Be warned that if a tower is left alone for too long, its crystal will be re-summoned, and you'll have to go back and kill the acolytes again to re-clear it.

If you're entering the Gauntlet from the service gate area, you'll be facing east. In front of you, past a gamut of mobs, one of the three towers should be visible--this is location (4), the tower of the banshee Baroness Anastari (59+ undead). Clear to her tower, taking special care to watch for the fast-moving, and fast-respawning, gargoyle patrols. Anastari herself has two noteworthy attacks: her Banshee Wail is twice as powerful as those of the non-named banshee in Stratholme, and she has the ability to possess a party member and turn him or her against the rest of the group for two minutes or until the group can kill the possessed person. Sometimes Anastari will leave the body of the possessed person before he or she actually dies--this is the ideal outcome, next to not being possessed at all. There is little to say about the fight itself; simply beat on her when she isn't possessing someone, and hope for the best if she tries her banshee tricks. Her blue drops are the Dreadmist Sandals and the Banshee Finger (59.7 dps frost-based wand).

At location (3) is the tower of Nerub'enkan (60+ undead), a boss Crypt Lord. He behaves in much the same way as other Crypt Lord-type mobs in Stratholme--he can web you and summon tiny crypt scarabs--but Nerub'enkan hits harder. Still, the fight against him is fairly straightforward. His blue drops include the Beaststalker's Boots (hunter set mail boots) and the Husk of Nerub'enkan (shield).

Stratholme

2005-12-09T01:14:40Z

Theroachman: /* Bosses */ added some Baroness Anastari loot

Stratholme is a level 55-62 instance in the northern part of [[Eastern Plaguelands]]. Recommended player level is 57+. There are multiple ways that this instance can be approached. Each method takes a different amount of time.

It actually has two entrances - one (the front) is in the northwestern end of the zone, and the other (the back, or service gate) is just east of Plaguewood. The service gate entrance requires the Key to the City, which drops off of Magistrate Barthilas inside the instance.

As one might guess, the instance is effectively split into two halves, which I'll refer to here as the '''Scarlet side''' and the '''Scourge side'''. (I welcome any suggestions for better designations. --[[User:Teiran|Teiran]])

== Walkthrough ==

The '''Scarlet side''', despite nominally being the 'first' half, is very time-consuming. I would estimate that it takes about two and a half hours to complete, and that the zone respawn is one and a half hours. What follows is a walkthrough from the front instance portal to the end of the Scarlet Bastion.

The first few pulls on the Scarlet side consist of ~3 elite zombies, all melee, and ~4-5 non-elite skeletons, evenly split between casters and melee. Upon dying, the zombies will reanimate; if not killed quickly, they will explode and do ~800 AoE damage. You'll also probably see clickable Supply Crates on either side of the street; some of these contain supplies such as potions and scrolls, not to mention the quest item Stratholme Holy Water. Others contain lots of plagued rats/maggots/insects that you'll want to AoE down. In fact, you'll be seeing a lot of plagued AoE fodder if you get too close to the sides of the street, as the pests seem to be proximity-triggered spawns. Be wary of all barrels and crates in Stratholme. (Note that dwarves can use their Find Treasure racial ability to identify which crates are 'good.')

Monsters other than the zombies and skeletons include various forms of ghouls (Plague Ghouls, 57+) and abominations (Patchwork Horrors, 58+). These wander around and are not linked to the zombie/skeleton groups, so they can and should be pulled singly. The abominations here, like those outside the instance, have knockback.

Also of note are the non-aggro Spectral Citizens that wander the streets. To free them, you'll need the Egan's Blaster quest item. Otherwise, avoid damaging them, as they pose no threat to you. Turn left at the first intersection to proceed onward, where you'll again have the choice of going left or right. Going left here brings you to a cul-de-sac where the Stratholme Courier (57+) spawns. If you kill the Courier, he'll drop keys to open three of the five postboxes scattered throughout Stratholme. If you go right instead, you'll see an open gate. This is one of Stratholme's many gate traps--once somebody clears the gate threshold, it will drop, and mass AoE fodder will pour in from a side passage. It is possible to fake the gate out by crossing and re-crossing the threshold, but if it goes wrong, keep in mind that the gate blocks LoS and will thus prevent healing.

Once you pass the gate trap, you'll see another fork in the road. Hearthsinger Forresten (57+, initially non-aggro) often spawns in this area. If you proceed left, you should see a large raised iron gate--this is your goal. The pulls in this area remain the same as those at the entrance. Once you make it to the gate, you'll see the first signs of life in Stratholme--an imposing barrier of Scarlet Crusaders standing amongst some boxes and crates.

From here on out, you will be dealing mainly with humanoids. It's standard procedure to sheep pull from this point onward; this is because each pull consists of 3-4 Scarlets--two melee and one to two casters. Kill the melees first (they have the annoying ability to charge in combat), then turn your attention to the sheep and have a mage Counterspell to force the mob to try and melee. The entire section pulls this way.

Clear the courtyard and make your way to the door of the Bastion; it requires the Scarlet Key from [[Scarlet Monastery]], but can be lockpicked. Go through the short entrance hall and hang a left. Welcome to the Scarlet Bastion!

Systematically begin clearing the pulls as described above. Be advised that when you clear a room, a Scarlet Crusader will yell something about the Scourge breaking in--this means that you should expect undead adds (non-elite skeletons) from the rear. If your group knows they're coming, they'll be easy to dispatch. Of note in the first real hall: a patrol of two Scarlet Conjurors comes all the way to the end, and may aggro you while you're in the entrance hall if you're not careful. At the far end of the hall, in a side room to the left, is Malor the Zealous (60+), who drops nothing of note.

Eventually you'll come to a hall with two locked doors--the door to the Hoard at the near end, and the door to the Hall of the High Command at the far end. The Hoard is home to Cannon Master Willey (60+) and resembles the Barracks in SM. Trash mobs include Scarlet Defenders (paladin NPC's, 58-59+) and Scarlet Priests, in mixed groups of (you guessed it) 3-4. The Scarlet Hammersmith (60+) also spawns here from some blacksmithing plans on a table.

At the end of this section is Cannon Master Willey (60+ humanoid), flanked by two cannons pointing down toward the end of the hall. Don't worry, he won't be using these cannons--but you will! Leave someone in charge of cannon duty while the rest of the party rushes Willey. At intervals during the fight, ranged adds will appear behind the party at the end of the hall. Whoever is on cannon duty must click the piles of cannonballs around Willey to obtain ammunition for the cannon, and then load and fire at the adds. If your cannoneer is diligent in spotting adds, they should never come into play during the fight. Willey himself is a strictly melee boss who shouldn't pose much of a problem. His drops include the Master Cannoneer Boots (plate boots, +21 sta, +10 str), Shadowcraft Spaulders (rogue set leather shoulders), Cannonball Runner (trinket), the plans to the crafted dagger Heartseeker, and Willey's Portable Howitzer (gun).

Once you've killed Willey, return to the main hall and hang left to avoid aggro from the mobs standing in the hall. You may notice a new type of mob here, one wielding a staff in one hand and a glowing orange sword in the other--this is a Crimson Battle Mage. Much like player mages, they can deal massive AoE damage in the form of Arcane Explosion and Blast Wave. (more)

Congratulations, you've reached the final hall of the Scarlet Bastion. Keep doing what you've been doing. Once you clear the far pull, a group of four Scarlets will filter in from the right--if you've been careful enough to stay back, they won't aggro immediately, and you can treat them the same as any other pull. Dispatch them and turn your attention to the side room on the left; this is the room of Archivist Galford (60+), quest objective of The Archivist. Kill him and burn his archive to complete the quest. On the right wall of this room, you'll find a painting of twin moons; this is the painting, "Of Love and Family," that Artist Renfray in Caer Darrow sends you to recover and bring back to Tirion Fordring as part of that quest line.

Turn around and look across the hall. Sitting on the Crimson Throne is Grand Crusader Dathrohan (62+), the final boss of the Scarlet side. Don't be intimidated; he has strong physical attacks, but he's by himself and doesn't summon any adds. That's the good news. The bad news is that he's really a dreadlord. At some point, Dathrohan will transform into the mighty, and much larger, Balnazzar (62+); he may also regenerate all his health. Balnazzar hits hard in melee and can AoE fear. [I need to figure out what his special abilities are.]

Eventually he will die. If you've already completed and turned in The Archivist, you'll be able to loot Balnazzar's head to deliver to Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff at Light's Hope Chapel. Drops include Demonshear (53.9 dps 2h sword), Star of Mystaria (necklace), Wyrmtongue Shoulders (+23 agi, +10 sta leather shoulders), Crown of Tyranny (mail helm; +20 sta, -10 spi, +40 atk pwr, +1% crit), Gift of the Elven Magi (41.3 dps dagger).

You'll have to exit the Scarlet Bastion to continue, but you'll notice that it's been overrun with undead. You'll have to fight your way out through about a dozen spawns of 1-2 elite ghouls and non-elite skeletons. Once outside, you'll see a ghoul doing laps around the front courtyard of the Bastion; this is Timmy the Cruel (58+). Other than his yelling "TIMMY!" there's nothing special about him. Drops include the Grimgore Noose (cloth belt), The Cruel Hand of Timmy (40.1 dps 1h mace), Vambraces of the Sadist (plate bracers; +7 sta, +6 spi, +2% chance to hit; +1% crit).

[more to come, including directions on obtaining the Key to the City from this point]

The '''Scourge side''' of Stratholme effectively begins at the back instance portal. Every mob you'll meet from the service gate entrance all the way through to the Baron (with the exception of Thuzadin Necromancers and Shadowcasters) will be undead. It's imperative that your priest be judicious with shackles, and that you help the priest by leaving shackled targets alone. While your mages won't be using Polymorph quite as often as they did on the Scarlet side, the aforementioned Necromancers and Shadowcasters are humanoid and therefore can be sheeped. Additionally, the Scourge side is full of casters that are pull-resistant, so mages' Counterspell ability will be useful for dragging these mobs back to the group.

You need the Key to the City to unlock the gate protecting the back instance portal. Once inside the instance, you'll still need the Key to unlock various other gates--including the service gate itself. If you leave the gate closed and look on the other side, you'll see the same pull that greeted you at the front instance portal: ~3 elite zombies, ~4-5 non-elite skeletons. You may also see Magistrate Barthilas hanging out just beyond the first pull. When you unlock the gate, though, Barthilas will run away. Don't worry, you'll see him again later.

The first open area after the service gate consists of three of these pulls, at which point someone with the Key will have to open the gate straight ahead at the far end. Go down the passageway and proceed to the right, using the Key to open the gate there. This is the Gauntlet, arguably the most difficult part of Stratholme.

The Gauntlet has five main mob types: 1) '''Crypt Walkers''' (59+) and '''Crypt Beasts''' (60+); 2) '''Rockwing Gargoyles''' (57-58+) and '''Rockwing Screechers''' (58-59+); 3) '''Wailing Banshees''' (58+); 4) '''Plague Ghouls''' (57-58+), '''Ghoul Raveners''' (58-59+) and '''Fleshflayer Ghouls''' (60+); 5) '''Thuzadin Shadowcasters''' (58-60+) and '''Thuzadin Necromancers''' (59-61+). Of these, only the ghouls and the Rockwing Gargoyles will immediately attempt to melee the party--the other mobs all have some sort of ranged attack that could cause problems when pulling. Be especially careful of the Rockwing Screechers, which have the ability to AoE fear the party; if surrounding mobs haven't been cleared, this can easily result in a wipe.

To proceed on from the Gauntlet, you'll have to clear three towers. On the map to which we've linked, the towers are marked 3 (Nerub'enkan), 4 (Baroness Anastari), and 5 (Maleki the Pallid). Each has a boss parked in front of its door, and clearing each tower involves killing the boss, entering the tower, and killing the six acolytes within. Once you accomplish this, you'll hear a zonewide yell along the lines of "Thuzadin Acolyte yells: An Ash'ari Crystal has fallen!..." This is the signal that the tower has been 'cleared.' Be warned that if a tower is left alone for too long, its crystal will be re-summoned, and you'll have to go back and kill the acolytes again to re-clear it.

If you're entering the Gauntlet from the service gate area, you'll be facing east. In front of you, past a gamut of mobs, one of the three towers should be visible--this is location (4), the tower of the banshee Baroness Anastari (59+ undead). Clear to her tower, taking special care to watch for the fast-moving, and fast-respawning, gargoyle patrols. Anastari herself has two noteworthy attacks: her Banshee Wail is twice as powerful as those of the non-named banshee in Stratholme, and she has the ability to possess a party member and turn him or her against the rest of the group for two minutes or until the group can kill the possessed person. Sometimes Anastari will leave the body of the possessed person before he or she actually dies--this is the ideal outcome, next to not being possessed at all. There is little to say about the fight itself; simply beat on her when she isn't possessing someone, and hope for the best if she tries her banshee tricks. Her blue drops are the Dreadmist Sandals and the Banshee Finger (59.7 dps frost-based wand).

At location (3) is the tower of Nerub'enkan (60+ undead), a boss Crypt Lord. He behaves in much the same way as other Crypt Lord-type mobs in Stratholme--he can web you and summon tiny crypt scarabs--but Nerub'enkan hits harder. Still, the fight against him is fairly straightforward. His blue drops include the Beaststalker's Boots (hunter set mail boots) and the Husk of Nerub'enkan (shield).

Stratholme

2005-12-09T01:10:04Z

Theroachman: /* Bosses */ added some Nerub'enkan loot

Stratholme is a level 55-62 instance in the northern part of [[Eastern Plaguelands]]. Recommended player level is 57+. There are multiple ways that this instance can be approached. Each method takes a different amount of time.

It actually has two entrances - one (the front) is in the northwestern end of the zone, and the other (the back, or service gate) is just east of Plaguewood. The service gate entrance requires the Key to the City, which drops off of Magistrate Barthilas inside the instance.

As one might guess, the instance is effectively split into two halves, which I'll refer to here as the '''Scarlet side''' and the '''Scourge side'''. (I welcome any suggestions for better designations. --[[User:Teiran|Teiran]])

== Walkthrough ==

The '''Scarlet side''', despite nominally being the 'first' half, is very time-consuming. I would estimate that it takes about two and a half hours to complete, and that the zone respawn is one and a half hours. What follows is a walkthrough from the front instance portal to the end of the Scarlet Bastion.

The first few pulls on the Scarlet side consist of ~3 elite zombies, all melee, and ~4-5 non-elite skeletons, evenly split between casters and melee. Upon dying, the zombies will reanimate; if not killed quickly, they will explode and do ~800 AoE damage. You'll also probably see clickable Supply Crates on either side of the street; some of these contain supplies such as potions and scrolls, not to mention the quest item Stratholme Holy Water. Others contain lots of plagued rats/maggots/insects that you'll want to AoE down. In fact, you'll be seeing a lot of plagued AoE fodder if you get too close to the sides of the street, as the pests seem to be proximity-triggered spawns. Be wary of all barrels and crates in Stratholme. (Note that dwarves can use their Find Treasure racial ability to identify which crates are 'good.')

Monsters other than the zombies and skeletons include various forms of ghouls (Plague Ghouls, 57+) and abominations (Patchwork Horrors, 58+). These wander around and are not linked to the zombie/skeleton groups, so they can and should be pulled singly. The abominations here, like those outside the instance, have knockback.

Also of note are the non-aggro Spectral Citizens that wander the streets. To free them, you'll need the Egan's Blaster quest item. Otherwise, avoid damaging them, as they pose no threat to you. Turn left at the first intersection to proceed onward, where you'll again have the choice of going left or right. Going left here brings you to a cul-de-sac where the Stratholme Courier (57+) spawns. If you kill the Courier, he'll drop keys to open three of the five postboxes scattered throughout Stratholme. If you go right instead, you'll see an open gate. This is one of Stratholme's many gate traps--once somebody clears the gate threshold, it will drop, and mass AoE fodder will pour in from a side passage. It is possible to fake the gate out by crossing and re-crossing the threshold, but if it goes wrong, keep in mind that the gate blocks LoS and will thus prevent healing.

Once you pass the gate trap, you'll see another fork in the road. Hearthsinger Forresten (57+, initially non-aggro) often spawns in this area. If you proceed left, you should see a large raised iron gate--this is your goal. The pulls in this area remain the same as those at the entrance. Once you make it to the gate, you'll see the first signs of life in Stratholme--an imposing barrier of Scarlet Crusaders standing amongst some boxes and crates.

From here on out, you will be dealing mainly with humanoids. It's standard procedure to sheep pull from this point onward; this is because each pull consists of 3-4 Scarlets--two melee and one to two casters. Kill the melees first (they have the annoying ability to charge in combat), then turn your attention to the sheep and have a mage Counterspell to force the mob to try and melee. The entire section pulls this way.

Clear the courtyard and make your way to the door of the Bastion; it requires the Scarlet Key from [[Scarlet Monastery]], but can be lockpicked. Go through the short entrance hall and hang a left. Welcome to the Scarlet Bastion!

Systematically begin clearing the pulls as described above. Be advised that when you clear a room, a Scarlet Crusader will yell something about the Scourge breaking in--this means that you should expect undead adds (non-elite skeletons) from the rear. If your group knows they're coming, they'll be easy to dispatch. Of note in the first real hall: a patrol of two Scarlet Conjurors comes all the way to the end, and may aggro you while you're in the entrance hall if you're not careful. At the far end of the hall, in a side room to the left, is Malor the Zealous (60+), who drops nothing of note.

Eventually you'll come to a hall with two locked doors--the door to the Hoard at the near end, and the door to the Hall of the High Command at the far end. The Hoard is home to Cannon Master Willey (60+) and resembles the Barracks in SM. Trash mobs include Scarlet Defenders (paladin NPC's, 58-59+) and Scarlet Priests, in mixed groups of (you guessed it) 3-4. The Scarlet Hammersmith (60+) also spawns here from some blacksmithing plans on a table.

At the end of this section is Cannon Master Willey (60+ humanoid), flanked by two cannons pointing down toward the end of the hall. Don't worry, he won't be using these cannons--but you will! Leave someone in charge of cannon duty while the rest of the party rushes Willey. At intervals during the fight, ranged adds will appear behind the party at the end of the hall. Whoever is on cannon duty must click the piles of cannonballs around Willey to obtain ammunition for the cannon, and then load and fire at the adds. If your cannoneer is diligent in spotting adds, they should never come into play during the fight. Willey himself is a strictly melee boss who shouldn't pose much of a problem. His drops include the Master Cannoneer Boots (plate boots, +21 sta, +10 str), Shadowcraft Spaulders (rogue set leather shoulders), Cannonball Runner (trinket), the plans to the crafted dagger Heartseeker, and Willey's Portable Howitzer (gun).

Once you've killed Willey, return to the main hall and hang left to avoid aggro from the mobs standing in the hall. You may notice a new type of mob here, one wielding a staff in one hand and a glowing orange sword in the other--this is a Crimson Battle Mage. Much like player mages, they can deal massive AoE damage in the form of Arcane Explosion and Blast Wave. (more)

Congratulations, you've reached the final hall of the Scarlet Bastion. Keep doing what you've been doing. Once you clear the far pull, a group of four Scarlets will filter in from the right--if you've been careful enough to stay back, they won't aggro immediately, and you can treat them the same as any other pull. Dispatch them and turn your attention to the side room on the left; this is the room of Archivist Galford (60+), quest objective of The Archivist. Kill him and burn his archive to complete the quest. On the right wall of this room, you'll find a painting of twin moons; this is the painting, "Of Love and Family," that Artist Renfray in Caer Darrow sends you to recover and bring back to Tirion Fordring as part of that quest line.

Turn around and look across the hall. Sitting on the Crimson Throne is Grand Crusader Dathrohan (62+), the final boss of the Scarlet side. Don't be intimidated; he has strong physical attacks, but he's by himself and doesn't summon any adds. That's the good news. The bad news is that he's really a dreadlord. At some point, Dathrohan will transform into the mighty, and much larger, Balnazzar (62+); he may also regenerate all his health. Balnazzar hits hard in melee and can AoE fear. [I need to figure out what his special abilities are.]

Eventually he will die. If you've already completed and turned in The Archivist, you'll be able to loot Balnazzar's head to deliver to Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff at Light's Hope Chapel. Drops include Demonshear (53.9 dps 2h sword), Star of Mystaria (necklace), Wyrmtongue Shoulders (+23 agi, +10 sta leather shoulders), Crown of Tyranny (mail helm; +20 sta, -10 spi, +40 atk pwr, +1% crit), Gift of the Elven Magi (41.3 dps dagger).

You'll have to exit the Scarlet Bastion to continue, but you'll notice that it's been overrun with undead. You'll have to fight your way out through about a dozen spawns of 1-2 elite ghouls and non-elite skeletons. Once outside, you'll see a ghoul doing laps around the front courtyard of the Bastion; this is Timmy the Cruel (58+). Other than his yelling "TIMMY!" there's nothing special about him. Drops include the Grimgore Noose (cloth belt), The Cruel Hand of Timmy (40.1 dps 1h mace), Vambraces of the Sadist (plate bracers; +7 sta, +6 spi, +2% chance to hit; +1% crit).

[more to come, including directions on obtaining the Key to the City from this point]

---

The '''Scourge side''' of Stratholme effectively begins at the back instance portal. Every mob you'll meet from the service gate entrance all the way through to the Baron (with the exception of Thuzadin Necromancers and Shadowcasters) will be undead. It's imperative that your priest be judicious with shackles, and that you help the priest by leaving shackled targets alone. While your mages won't be using Polymorph quite as often as they did on the Scarlet side, the aforementioned Necromancers and Shadowcasters are humanoid and therefore can be sheeped. Additionally, the Scourge side is full of casters that are pull-resistant, so mages' Counterspell ability will be useful for dragging these mobs back to the group.

You need the Key to the City to unlock the gate protecting the back instance portal. Once inside the instance, you'll still need the Key to unlock various other gates--including the service gate itself. If you leave the gate closed and look on the other side, you'll see the same pull that greeted you at the front instance portal: ~3 elite zombies, ~4-5 non-elite skeletons. You may also see Magistrate Barthilas hanging out just beyond the first pull. When you unlock the gate, though, Barthilas will run away. Don't worry, you'll see him again later.

The first open area after the service gate consists of three of these pulls, at which point someone with the Key will have to open the gate straight ahead at the far end. Go down the passageway and proceed to the right, using the Key to open the gate there. This is the Gauntlet, arguably the most difficult part of Stratholme.

The Gauntlet has five main mob types: 1) '''Crypt Walkers''' (59+) and '''Crypt Beasts''' (60+); 2) '''Rockwing Gargoyles''' (57-58+) and '''Rockwing Screechers''' (58-59+); 3) '''Wailing Banshees''' (58+); 4) '''Plague Ghouls''' (57-58+), '''Ghoul Raveners''' (58-59+) and '''Fleshflayer Ghouls''' (60+); 5) '''Thuzadin Shadowcasters''' (58-60+) and '''Thuzadin Necromancers''' (59-61+). Of these, only the ghouls and the Rockwing Gargoyles will immediately attempt to melee the party--the other mobs all have some sort of ranged attack that could cause problems when pulling. Be especially careful of the Rockwing Screechers, which have the ability to AoE fear the party; if surrounding mobs haven't been cleared, this can easily result in a wipe.

To proceed on from the Gauntlet, you'll have to clear three towers. On the map to which we've linked, the towers are marked 3 (Nerub'enkan), 4 (Baroness Anastari), and 5 (Maleki the Pallid). Each has a boss parked in front of its door, and clearing each tower involves killing the boss, entering the tower, and killing the six acolytes within. Once you accomplish this, you'll hear a zonewide yell along the lines of "Thuzadin Acolyte yells: An Ash'ari Crystal has fallen!..." This is the signal that the tower has been 'cleared.' Be warned that if a tower is left alone for too long, its crystal will be re-summoned, and you'll have to go back and kill the acolytes again to re-clear it.

If you're entering the Gauntlet from the service gate area, you'll be facing east. In front of you, past a gamut of mobs, one of the three towers should be visible--this is location (4), the tower of the banshee Baroness Anastari (59+ undead). Clear to her tower, taking special care to watch for the fast-moving, and fast-respawning, gargoyle patrols. Anastari herself has two noteworthy attacks: her Banshee Wail is twice as powerful as those of the non-named banshee in Stratholme, and she has the ability to possess a party member and turn him or her against the rest of the group for two minutes or until the group can kill the possessed person. Sometimes Anastari will leave the body of the possessed person before he or she actually dies--this is the ideal outcome, next to not being possessed at all. There is little to say about the fight itself; simply beat on her when she isn't possessing someone, and hope for the best if she tries her banshee tricks. Her blue drops are the Dreadmist Sandals and the Banshee Finger (59.7 dps frost-based wand).

At location (3) is the tower of Nerub'enkan (60+ undead), a boss Crypt Lord. He behaves in much the same way as other Crypt Lord-type mobs in Stratholme--he can web you and summon tiny crypt scarabs--but Nerub'enkan hits harder. Still, the fight against him is fairly straightforward. His blue drops include the Beaststalker's Boots (hunter set mail boots) and the Husk of Nerub'enkan (shield).

The Temple of Atal'Hakkar

2005-06-19T04:03:49Z

Theroachman: /* Neutral Quests */ Fixed reward links

[http://www.thottbot.com/?z=89 The Temple of Atal'Hakkar], frequently called Sunken Temple is a level 50-55 instance in the Swamp of Sorrows. The item drops here are very good and can be worth doing even at level 60. The time for a run varies because some parts can be skipped. Expect a minimum of 2-2.5 hours for an Eranikus kill. A full clear could be up to 4 hours. The zone respawn is pretty long, and the dragon types never respawn so you can frequently return to right where you died in a wipeout.

== Quests ==
The Temple has some of the most involved quest lines yet. There are many pre-requisite steps for some of these quests. They involve Un'goro, Tanaris, and Feralas quite extensively.

===Horde Quests===
38 (43) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1093 Pool of Tears] - '''Horde''' 
This quest starts a four part quest line that will send you back to the temple. Obtain the quest from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=10148 Fel'Zarul] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=10148 Stonard]. For this quest you just need to pick up some gear-clickable items called [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=24276 Atal'ai Artifacts] which spawn around the outer rim of the temple lake.

38 (50) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=3322 The Temple of Atal'Hakkar] - '''Horde''' 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5693 Guardian Talisman] 
This is the fourth part of the 'Pool of Tears' series. Parts 2-3 send you to the [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5467 Atal'ai Exile] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=5467 Hinterlands], and back again to Fel'Zarul. You just need to kill some trolls inside the instance to collect 20 [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=14905 Fetish of Hakkar].

48 (52) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=5140 Zapper Fuel] - '''Horde''' 
This quest is the third part of a chain that starts with [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=2055 Larion and Muigin] from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5508 Larion] in Marshal's Refuge in [http://www.thottbot.com/?z=68 Un'goro Crater]. For this quest you collect [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4793 Atal'ai Haze] off the basement monsters of the temple. These quest items drop almost 100% of the time from the worm and ooze mobs, but only for questers. If you are the only member of the party questing, ask for loot to be temporarily set to Free For All and you will get all of your drops very quickly.

===Neutral Quests===
46 (51) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=765 Into the Depths] 
This quest starts from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=7090 Marvon Rivetseeker], a goblin, in the center of [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=7090 Tanaris]. It sends you to the temple basement to click on the Altar of Hakkar and receive some experience (?items?). This quest can be soloed by a class with stealth (Druid/Rogue).

46 (51) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1069 Secret of the Circle] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4787 Hakkar'i Breastplate] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4767 Hakkar'i Shroud] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3827 Mark of Hakkar] 
This quest also starts from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=7090 Marvon Rivetseeker] in the center of [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=7090 Tanaris] and gives you a hint to spawn the boss in the basement. In order to spawn him next to the final Serpent Statue (Santa Snake), you must light the statues on the main level (not the same level as the mini-bosses) to allow you access to the prophet and dragons. If you're coming up from basement, take the first passage on your right and then again go right until you hit the Hall of Serpents. The correct order to light the serpent statues is as follows: 
 
1) South 
2) North 
3) Southwest 
4) Southeast 
5) Northwest 
6) Northeast 
 
Atalarion will spawn in the pit below and yell something in Troll once your group tags the statues in the correct order. ''[troll] My banishment is ended. Let the blood flow.'' Once the boss is dead, each quester should make sure to loot the gear-clickable statue in the center of the pit for their cache of reward items. Atalarion has a knock back attack that can be very nasty, doing up to 2k dmg. One option to prevent the falling damage is to fight him in the corridor leading to his circular area. There the ceiling will prevent him from sending you flying far. Alternatively you can also fight him with your back against a nearby wall.

38 (53) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=974 Jammal'an the Prophet] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3521 Helm of Exile] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4534 Rainstrider Leggings] 
This quest can be tricky to get. It is given by the [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5467 Atal'ai Exile] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=5467 Shadra'Alor] in the Hinterlands. He is surrounded by aggro mobs. The goal of this quest is to kill the prophet in the temple. In order to get access to the Prophet, there are 6 mini-bosses on the topmost floor that have to be killed first. When those trolls are killed the 'force field' separating Jammal'an from the rest of the temple drops. 

The room containing Jammal'an is full of mobs which spawn a non-killable ghost upon dying. These ghosts are invulnerable and do serious melee damage, but are extremely slow and will die on a relatively short timer (15-20 sec) when simply left alone. Try to stay away from them and deal with the other mobs in the pull. The caster mobs in this room are sheepable -- the other undead mobs are not, but can be Shackled by a priest. Several of these mobs also have a Fear ability, so position your party a good distance away from them and pull all mobs back in order to avoid people being Feared into additional adds. 

Jammal'an himself is 53 elite with a 53 elite caster add who isn't sheepable. Jammal'an also has mind control attack. 

46 (53) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1090 The God Hakkar] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=2951 Gemburst Circlet] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3725 Lifeforce Dirk] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5037 Avenger Helm] 
This is part of a quest line from Yeh'kinya, a troll at the docks in Tanaris. This is the fourth and final step in the quest series. It starts off by sending you to Feralas to kill a few Screecher Spirits. The second quest in the chaing entails a trip into [[Zul'farrak]] for tablet drops from two named mobs inside the instance. The third step is to retrieve the Ancient Egg from Jintha'Alor in the Hinterlands. This item is in a cave deep in the troll city. There are many level 45-50 elite trolls along path to the cave. The egg itself is guarded by 3 elite trolls levels 52-53. Once you have the Ancient Egg, you proceed to the second floor of the Sunken Temple. 

The strategy to summon Hakkar goes like this. First, it's a gated room. Once you activate the encounter by using the Ancient Egg, you'll be locked in so make sure everyone is inside. During the encounter, a shade of Hakker will appear and not do anything until you've extinguished 4 braziers at the 4 corners of the room. To extinguish them, you'll want to use the blood dropped by the bloodkeeper flying dragon mob. It will respawn 4 times but you may have to wait like a couple of minutes in between spawns. Make the loot free-for-all and designate a runner that will loot the blood and extinguish the flames. It's much simpler like that. Might want to turn back loot to original once the 4 braziers are off. 

Turning off a brazier alerts some suppressor dragonkin mobs that will terminate the encounter (and lift gates) if not killed before 3 of them shoot beams at the dragon shade of Hakkar. Rule is to kill them as soon as possible. Good time to do so is in between spawns of the bloodkeeper. Once the 4 braziers are off, Hakkar (elite 53) will spawn and is a regular beat down mob. The room has many snake-like mobs in it as well during the encounter many of them that you don't need to kill if you stick to the corners and near walls. However, they'll join Hakkar in battle once summoned so if you think you may have a hard time with the adds, clear them right before extinguishing the last brazier. 

48 (55) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1824 The Essence of Erankius] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5073 Chained Essence of Eranikus]
This comes from a drop off the last boss, Eranikus. After Eranikus dies, you get an item that gives you a quest. To complete that quest and get this one, you click on the font in the back left corner of the room. You then get the Chained Essence. You can then turn the Essence in to the night elf in the cave in SW Swamp of Sorrows to get a later quest. 

Eranikus has a non-dispellable mez attack, warstomp and knockdown attacks but is otherwise a regular beat-down without adds. Also, if you haven't done so before, you'll want to clear all the dragonkins in the area or he'll call all of the remaining ones for help which may make the fight much more difficult than needed. Finally, Eranikus seems to only be attackable if you first kill the prophet. Otherwise you'll only see its shade and won't be able to attack or agro it. 

Prior to getting to him, you'll have to dispose of a pair of patrolling dragons (52-53 elite) with breath weapon and knockback but otherwise nothing especial. 

At some point you may also get a message that two flying dragons are let loose. Those will typically circle the central area and you can avoid agroing by staying close to the walls. Overall, you'll want to kill them to give yourself some room to move in the central area. Don't fight them near the center if you haven't cleared the area of the other dragonkins. The dragon regularly use knockback attacks (as well as sleep so get the tremor totems out) which will send you into other elite mobs. They're plenty to handle by themselves without getting 2-4 elite mob adds in addition.

This boss spawns as part of an event that is started by a quest to kill him. After completing the quest you can get a scroll to summon him without using the egg. He has an extensive loot table but is not needed to kill Eranikus so is sometimes skipped.

The Temple of Atal'Hakkar

2005-06-17T19:10:20Z

Theroachman: /* Bosses */

[http://www.thottbot.com/?z=89 The Temple of Atal'Hakkar], frequently called Sunken Temple is a level 50-55 instance in the Swamp of Sorrows. The item drops here are very good and can be worth doing even at level 60. The time for a run varies because some parts can be skipped. Expect a minimum of 2-2.5 hours for an Eranikus kill. A full clear could be up to 4 hours. The zone respawn is pretty long, and the dragon types never respawn so you can frequently return to right where you died in a wipeout.

== External Guides and Maps ==
'''[http://www.worldofwar.net/cartography/instances/atalhakkar.php Annotated Instance Map] from worldofwar.net

== Quests ==
The Temple has some of the most involved quest lines yet. There are many pre-requisite steps for some of these quests. They involve Un'goro, Tanaris, and Feralas quite extensively.

===Alliance Quests===
42 (50) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1283 Into The Temple of Atal'Hakkar] 
Reward: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4062 Guardian Talisman] 
This quest line starts from Brohan Caskbelly in the Tavern in the Dwarven district of Stormwind. He asks you to investigate and find the Sunken Temple in the Swamp of Sorrows and then return. He then sends you to the Hinterlands where you are led to a drunken dwarf. The Dwarf sends you to Feralas and Tanaris to collect some parts and return. You then get sent back to the Dwarf in Stormwind who sends you back to the Sunken Temple to collect 20 items from ground spawn in and around the instance. You just need to pickup some ground spawn tablets, they are very common both inside and outside the instance.

47 (52) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=759 Haze of Evil] 
This quest is part of a quest line that starts from Muigin in the Refuge of Un'goro Crater. Muigen sends you to Gregan Brewspewer in Feralas who sends you to the Sunken Temple. You need to get five haze off the basement monsters of the temple and return to Muigen in Un'Goro.

===Horde Quests===

This quest starts a four part quest line that will send you back to the temple. Obtain the quest from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=10148 Fel'Zarul] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=10148 Stonard]. For this quest you just need to pick up some gear-clickable items called [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=24276 Atal'ai Artifacts] which spawn around the outer rim of the temple lake.

38 (50) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=3322 The Temple of Atal'Hakkar] - '''Horde''' 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5693 Guardian Talisman] 
This is the fourth part of the 'Pool of Tears' series. Parts 2-3 send you to the [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5467 Atal'ai Exile] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=5467 Hinterlands], and back again to Fel'Zarul. You just need to kill some trolls inside the instance to collect 20 [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=14905 Fetish of Hakkar].

48 (52) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=5140 Zapper Fuel] - '''Horde''' 
This quest is the third part of a chain that starts with [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=2055 Larion and Muigin] from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5508 Larion] in Marshal's Refuge in [http://www.thottbot.com/?z=68 Un'goro Crater]. For this quest you collect [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4793 Atal'ai Haze] off the basement monsters of the temple. These quest items drop almost 100% of the time from the worm and ooze mobs, but only for questers. If you are the only member of the party questing, ask for loot to be temporarily set to Free For All and you will get all of your drops very quickly.

===Neutral Quests===
46 (51) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=765 Into the Depths] 
This quest starts from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=7090 Marvon Rivetseeker], a goblin, in the center of [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=7090 Tanaris]. It sends you to the temple basement to click on the Altar of Hakkar and receive some experience (?items?). This quest can be soloed by a class with stealth (Druid/Rogue).

46 (51) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1069 Secret of the Circle] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4787 Hakkar'i Breastplate] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4767 Hakkar'i Shroud] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3827 Mark of Hakkar] 
This quest also starts from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=7090 Marvon Rivetseeker] in the center of [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=7090 Tanaris] and gives you a hint to spawn the boss in the basement. In order to spawn him next to the final Serpent Statue (Santa Snake), you must light the statues on the main level (not the same level as the mini-bosses) to allow you access to the prophet and dragons. If you're coming up from basement, take the first passage on your right and then again go right until you hit the Hall of Serpents. The correct order to light the serpent statues is as follows: 
 
1) South 
2) North 
3) Southwest 
4) Southeast 
5) Northwest 
6) Northeast 
 
Atalarion will spawn in the pit below and yell something in Troll once your group tags the statues in the correct order. ''[troll] My banishment is ended. Let the blood flow.'' Once the boss is dead, each quester should make sure to loot the gear-clickable statue in the center of the pit for their cache of reward items. Atalarion has a knock back attack that can be very nasty, doing up to 2k dmg. One option to prevent the falling damage is to fight him in the corridor leading to his circular area. There the ceiling will prevent him from sending you flying far. Alternatively you can also fight him with your back against a nearby wall.

38 (53) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=974 Jammal'an the Prophet] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=13831 Helm of Exile] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=13838 Rainstrider Leggings] 
This quest can be tricky to get. It is given by the [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5467 Atal'ai Exile] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=5467 Shadra'Alor] in the Hinterlands. He is surrounded by aggro mobs. The goal of this quest is to kill the prophet in the temple. In order to get access to the Prophet, there are 6 mini-bosses on the topmost floor that have to be killed first. When those trolls are killed the 'force field' separating Jammal'an from the rest of the temple drops. 

The room containing Jammal'an is full of mobs which spawn a non-killable ghost upon dying. These ghosts are invulnerable and do serious melee damage, but are extremely slow and will die on a relatively short timer (15-20 sec) when simply left alone. Try to stay away from them and deal with the other mobs in the pull. The caster mobs in this room are sheepable -- the other undead mobs are not, but can be Shackled by a priest. Several of these mobs also have a Fear ability, so position your party a good distance away from them and pull all mobs back in order to avoid people being Feared into additional adds. 

Jammal'an himself is 53 elite with a 53 elite caster add who isn't sheepable. Jammal'an also has mind control attack. 

46 (53) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1090 The God Hakkar] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=2951 Gemburst Circlet] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3725 Lifeforce Dirk] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5037 Avenger Helm] 
This is part of a quest line from Yeh'kinya, a troll at the docks in Tanaris. This is the fourth and final step in the quest series. It starts off by sending you to Feralas to kill a few Screecher Spirits. The second quest in the chaing entails a trip into [[Zul'farrak]] for tablet drops from two named mobs inside the instance. The third step is to retrieve the Ancient Egg from Jintha'Alor in the Hinterlands. This item is in a cave deep in the troll city. There are many level 45-50 elite trolls along path to the cave. The egg itself is guarded by 3 elite trolls levels 52-53. Once you have the Ancient Egg, you proceed to the second floor of the Sunken Temple. 

The strategy to summon Hakkar goes like this. First, it's a gated room. Once you activate the encounter by using the Ancient Egg, you'll be locked in so make sure everyone is inside. During the encounter, a shade of Hakker will appear and not do anything until you've extinguished 4 braziers at the 4 corners of the room. To extinguish them, you'll want to use the blood dropped by the bloodkeeper flying dragon mob. It will respawn 4 times but you may have to wait like a couple of minutes in between spawns. Make the loot free-for-all and designate a runner that will loot the blood and extinguish the flames. It's much simpler like that. Might want to turn back loot to original once the 4 braziers are off. 

Turning off a brazier alerts some suppressor dragonkin mobs that will terminate the encounter (and lift gates) if not killed before 3 of them shoot beams at the dragon shade of Hakkar. Rule is to kill them as soon as possible. Good time to do so is in between spawns of the bloodkeeper. Once the 4 braziers are off, Hakkar (elite 53) will spawn and is a regular beat down mob. The room has many snake-like mobs in it as well during the encounter many of them that you don't need to kill if you stick to the corners and near walls. However, they'll join Hakkar in battle once summoned so if you think you may have a hard time with the adds, clear them right before extinguishing the last brazier. 

48 (55) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1824 The Essence of Erankius] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=Chained%20Essence%20of%20Eranikus Chained Essence of Eranikus]
This comes from a drop off the last boss, Eranikus. After Eranikus dies, you get an item that gives you a quest. To complete that quest and get this one, you click on the font in the back left corner of the room. You then get the Chained Essence. You can then turn the Essence in to the night elf in the cave in SW Swamp of Sorrows to get a later quest. 

Eranikus has a non-dispellable mez attack, warstomp and knockdown attacks but is otherwise a regular beat-down without adds. Also, if you haven't done so before, you'll want to clear all the dragonkins in the area or he'll call all of the remaining ones for help which may make the fight much more difficult than needed. Finally, Eranikus seems to only be attackable if you first kill the prophet. Otherwise you'll only see its shade and won't be able to attack or agro it. 

Prior to getting to him, you'll have to dispose of a pair of patrolling dragons (52-53 elite) with breath weapon and knockback but otherwise nothing especial. 

At some point you may also get a message that two flying dragons are let loose. Those will typically circle the central area and you can avoid agroing by staying close to the walls. Overall, you'll want to kill them to give yourself some room to move in the central area. Don't fight them near the center if you haven't cleared the area of the other dragonkins. The dragon regularly use knockback attacks (as well as sleep so get the tremor totems out) which will send you into other elite mobs. They're plenty to handle by themselves without getting 2-4 elite mob adds in addition.

This boss spawns as part of an event that is started by a quest to kill him. After completing the quest you can get a scroll to summon him without using the egg. He has an extensive loot table but is not needed to kill Eranikus so is sometimes skipped.

The Temple of Atal'Hakkar

2005-06-17T19:04:27Z

Theroachman: /* Bosses */

[http://www.thottbot.com/?z=89 The Temple of Atal'Hakkar], frequently called Sunken Temple is a level 50-55 instance in the Swamp of Sorrows. The item drops here are very good and can be worth doing even at level 60. The time for a run varies because some parts can be skipped. Expect a minimum of 2-2.5 hours for an Eranikus kill. A full clear could be up to 4 hours. The zone respawn is pretty long, and the dragon types never respawn so you can frequently return to right where you died in a wipeout.

== External Guides and Maps ==
'''[http://www.worldofwar.net/cartography/instances/atalhakkar.php Annotated Instance Map] from worldofwar.net

== Quests ==
The Temple has some of the most involved quest lines yet. There are many pre-requisite steps for some of these quests. They involve Un'goro, Tanaris, and Feralas quite extensively.

===Alliance Quests===
42 (50) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1283 Into The Temple of Atal'Hakkar] 
Reward: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4062 Guardian Talisman] 
This quest line starts from Brohan Caskbelly in the Tavern in the Dwarven district of Stormwind. He asks you to investigate and find the Sunken Temple in the Swamp of Sorrows and then return. He then sends you to the Hinterlands where you are led to a drunken dwarf. The Dwarf sends you to Feralas and Tanaris to collect some parts and return. You then get sent back to the Dwarf in Stormwind who sends you back to the Sunken Temple to collect 20 items from ground spawn in and around the instance. You just need to pickup some ground spawn tablets, they are very common both inside and outside the instance.

47 (52) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=759 Haze of Evil] 
This quest is part of a quest line that starts from Muigin in the Refuge of Un'goro Crater. Muigen sends you to Gregan Brewspewer in Feralas who sends you to the Sunken Temple. You need to get five haze off the basement monsters of the temple and return to Muigen in Un'Goro.

===Horde Quests===

This quest starts a four part quest line that will send you back to the temple. Obtain the quest from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=10148 Fel'Zarul] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=10148 Stonard]. For this quest you just need to pick up some gear-clickable items called [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=24276 Atal'ai Artifacts] which spawn around the outer rim of the temple lake.

38 (50) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=3322 The Temple of Atal'Hakkar] - '''Horde''' 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5693 Guardian Talisman] 
This is the fourth part of the 'Pool of Tears' series. Parts 2-3 send you to the [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5467 Atal'ai Exile] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=5467 Hinterlands], and back again to Fel'Zarul. You just need to kill some trolls inside the instance to collect 20 [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=14905 Fetish of Hakkar].

48 (52) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=5140 Zapper Fuel] - '''Horde''' 
This quest is the third part of a chain that starts with [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=2055 Larion and Muigin] from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5508 Larion] in Marshal's Refuge in [http://www.thottbot.com/?z=68 Un'goro Crater]. For this quest you collect [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4793 Atal'ai Haze] off the basement monsters of the temple. These quest items drop almost 100% of the time from the worm and ooze mobs, but only for questers. If you are the only member of the party questing, ask for loot to be temporarily set to Free For All and you will get all of your drops very quickly.

===Neutral Quests===
46 (51) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=765 Into the Depths] 
This quest starts from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=7090 Marvon Rivetseeker], a goblin, in the center of [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=7090 Tanaris]. It sends you to the temple basement to click on the Altar of Hakkar and receive some experience (?items?). This quest can be soloed by a class with stealth (Druid/Rogue).

46 (51) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1069 Secret of the Circle] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4787 Hakkar'i Breastplate] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4767 Hakkar'i Shroud] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3827 Mark of Hakkar] 
This quest also starts from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=7090 Marvon Rivetseeker] in the center of [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=7090 Tanaris] and gives you a hint to spawn the boss in the basement. In order to spawn him next to the final Serpent Statue (Santa Snake), you must light the statues on the main level (not the same level as the mini-bosses) to allow you access to the prophet and dragons. If you're coming up from basement, take the first passage on your right and then again go right until you hit the Hall of Serpents. The correct order to light the serpent statues is as follows: 
 
1) South 
2) North 
3) Southwest 
4) Southeast 
5) Northwest 
6) Northeast 
 
Atalarion will spawn in the pit below and yell something in Troll once your group tags the statues in the correct order. ''[troll] My banishment is ended. Let the blood flow.'' Once the boss is dead, each quester should make sure to loot the gear-clickable statue in the center of the pit for their cache of reward items. Atalarion has a knock back attack that can be very nasty, doing up to 2k dmg. One option to prevent the falling damage is to fight him in the corridor leading to his circular area. There the ceiling will prevent him from sending you flying far. Alternatively you can also fight him with your back against a nearby wall.

38 (53) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=974 Jammal'an the Prophet] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=13831 Helm of Exile] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=13838 Rainstrider Leggings] 
This quest can be tricky to get. It is given by the [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5467 Atal'ai Exile] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=5467 Shadra'Alor] in the Hinterlands. He is surrounded by aggro mobs. The goal of this quest is to kill the prophet in the temple. In order to get access to the Prophet, there are 6 mini-bosses on the topmost floor that have to be killed first. When those trolls are killed the 'force field' separating Jammal'an from the rest of the temple drops. 

The room containing Jammal'an is full of mobs which spawn a non-killable ghost upon dying. These ghosts are invulnerable and do serious melee damage, but are extremely slow and will die on a relatively short timer (15-20 sec) when simply left alone. Try to stay away from them and deal with the other mobs in the pull. The caster mobs in this room are sheepable -- the other undead mobs are not, but can be Shackled by a priest. Several of these mobs also have a Fear ability, so position your party a good distance away from them and pull all mobs back in order to avoid people being Feared into additional adds. 

Jammal'an himself is 53 elite with a 53 elite caster add who isn't sheepable. Jammal'an also has mind control attack. 

46 (53) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1090 The God Hakkar] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=2951 Gemburst Circlet] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3725 Lifeforce Dirk] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5037 Avenger Helm] 
This is part of a quest line from Yeh'kinya, a troll at the docks in Tanaris. This is the fourth and final step in the quest series. It starts off by sending you to Feralas to kill a few Screecher Spirits. The second quest in the chaing entails a trip into [[Zul'farrak]] for tablet drops from two named mobs inside the instance. The third step is to retrieve the Ancient Egg from Jintha'Alor in the Hinterlands. This item is in a cave deep in the troll city. There are many level 45-50 elite trolls along path to the cave. The egg itself is guarded by 3 elite trolls levels 52-53. Once you have the Ancient Egg, you proceed to the second floor of the Sunken Temple. 

The strategy to summon Hakkar goes like this. First, it's a gated room. Once you activate the encounter by using the Ancient Egg, you'll be locked in so make sure everyone is inside. During the encounter, a shade of Hakker will appear and not do anything until you've extinguished 4 braziers at the 4 corners of the room. To extinguish them, you'll want to use the blood dropped by the bloodkeeper flying dragon mob. It will respawn 4 times but you may have to wait like a couple of minutes in between spawns. Make the loot free-for-all and designate a runner that will loot the blood and extinguish the flames. It's much simpler like that. Might want to turn back loot to original once the 4 braziers are off. 

Turning off a brazier alerts some suppressor dragonkin mobs that will terminate the encounter (and lift gates) if not killed before 3 of them shoot beams at the dragon shade of Hakkar. Rule is to kill them as soon as possible. Good time to do so is in between spawns of the bloodkeeper. Once the 4 braziers are off, Hakkar (elite 53) will spawn and is a regular beat down mob. The room has many snake-like mobs in it as well during the encounter many of them that you don't need to kill if you stick to the corners and near walls. However, they'll join Hakkar in battle once summoned so if you think you may have a hard time with the adds, clear them right before extinguishing the last brazier. 

48 (55) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1824 The Essence of Erankius] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=Chained%20Essence%20of%20Eranikus Chained Essence of Eranikus]
This comes from a drop off the last boss, Eranikus. After Eranikus dies, you get an item that gives you a quest. To complete that quest and get this one, you click on the font in the back left corner of the room. You then get the Chained Essence. You can then turn the Essence in to the night elf in the cave in SW Swamp of Sorrows to get a later quest. 

Eranikus has a non-dispellable mez attack, warstomp and knockdown attacks but is otherwise a regular beat-down without adds. Also, if you haven't done so before, you'll want to clear all the dragonkins in the area or he'll call all of the remaining ones for help which may make the fight much more difficult than needed. Finally, Eranikus seems to only be attackable if you first kill the prophet. Otherwise you'll only see its shade and won't be able to attack or agro it. 

Prior to getting to him, you'll have to dispose of a pair of patrolling dragons (52-53 elite) with breath weapon and knockback but otherwise nothing especial. 

At some point you may also get a message that two flying dragons are let loose. Those will typically circle the central area and you can avoid agroing by staying close to the walls. Overall, you'll want to kill them to give yourself some room to move in the central area. Don't fight them near the center if you haven't cleared the area of the other dragonkins. The dragon regularly use knockback attacks (as well as sleep so get the tremor totems out) which will send you into other elite mobs. They're plenty to handle by themselves without getting 2-4 elite mob adds in addition.

This boss spawns as part of an event that is started by a quest to kill him. After completing the quest you can get a scroll to summon him without using the egg. He has an extensive loot table but is not needed to kill Eranikus so is sometimes skipped.

The Temple of Atal'Hakkar

2005-06-17T18:55:03Z

Theroachman: /* Bosses */

[http://www.thottbot.com/?z=89 The Temple of Atal'Hakkar], frequently called Sunken Temple is a level 50-55 instance in the Swamp of Sorrows. The item drops here are very good and can be worth doing even at level 60. The time for a run varies because some parts can be skipped. Expect a minimum of 2-2.5 hours for an Eranikus kill. A full clear could be up to 4 hours. The zone respawn is pretty long, and the dragon types never respawn so you can frequently return to right where you died in a wipeout.

== External Guides and Maps ==
'''[http://www.worldofwar.net/cartography/instances/atalhakkar.php Annotated Instance Map] from worldofwar.net

== Quests ==
The Temple has some of the most involved quest lines yet. There are many pre-requisite steps for some of these quests. They involve Un'goro, Tanaris, and Feralas quite extensively.

===Alliance Quests===
42 (50) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1283 Into The Temple of Atal'Hakkar] 
Reward: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4062 Guardian Talisman] 
This quest line starts from Brohan Caskbelly in the Tavern in the Dwarven district of Stormwind. He asks you to investigate and find the Sunken Temple in the Swamp of Sorrows and then return. He then sends you to the Hinterlands where you are led to a drunken dwarf. The Dwarf sends you to Feralas and Tanaris to collect some parts and return. You then get sent back to the Dwarf in Stormwind who sends you back to the Sunken Temple to collect 20 items from ground spawn in and around the instance. You just need to pickup some ground spawn tablets, they are very common both inside and outside the instance.

47 (52) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=759 Haze of Evil] 
This quest is part of a quest line that starts from Muigin in the Refuge of Un'goro Crater. Muigen sends you to Gregan Brewspewer in Feralas who sends you to the Sunken Temple. You need to get five haze off the basement monsters of the temple and return to Muigen in Un'Goro.

===Horde Quests===

This quest starts a four part quest line that will send you back to the temple. Obtain the quest from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=10148 Fel'Zarul] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=10148 Stonard]. For this quest you just need to pick up some gear-clickable items called [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=24276 Atal'ai Artifacts] which spawn around the outer rim of the temple lake.

38 (50) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=3322 The Temple of Atal'Hakkar] - '''Horde''' 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5693 Guardian Talisman] 
This is the fourth part of the 'Pool of Tears' series. Parts 2-3 send you to the [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5467 Atal'ai Exile] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=5467 Hinterlands], and back again to Fel'Zarul. You just need to kill some trolls inside the instance to collect 20 [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=14905 Fetish of Hakkar].

48 (52) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=5140 Zapper Fuel] - '''Horde''' 
This quest is the third part of a chain that starts with [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=2055 Larion and Muigin] from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5508 Larion] in Marshal's Refuge in [http://www.thottbot.com/?z=68 Un'goro Crater]. For this quest you collect [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4793 Atal'ai Haze] off the basement monsters of the temple. These quest items drop almost 100% of the time from the worm and ooze mobs, but only for questers. If you are the only member of the party questing, ask for loot to be temporarily set to Free For All and you will get all of your drops very quickly.

===Neutral Quests===
46 (51) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=765 Into the Depths] 
This quest starts from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=7090 Marvon Rivetseeker], a goblin, in the center of [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=7090 Tanaris]. It sends you to the temple basement to click on the Altar of Hakkar and receive some experience (?items?). This quest can be soloed by a class with stealth (Druid/Rogue).

46 (51) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1069 Secret of the Circle] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4787 Hakkar'i Breastplate] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4767 Hakkar'i Shroud] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3827 Mark of Hakkar] 
This quest also starts from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=7090 Marvon Rivetseeker] in the center of [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=7090 Tanaris] and gives you a hint to spawn the boss in the basement. In order to spawn him next to the final Serpent Statue (Santa Snake), you must light the statues on the main level (not the same level as the mini-bosses) to allow you access to the prophet and dragons. If you're coming up from basement, take the first passage on your right and then again go right until you hit the Hall of Serpents. The correct order to light the serpent statues is as follows: 
 
1) South 
2) North 
3) Southwest 
4) Southeast 
5) Northwest 
6) Northeast 
 
Atalarion will spawn in the pit below and yell something in Troll once your group tags the statues in the correct order. ''[troll] My banishment is ended. Let the blood flow.'' Once the boss is dead, each quester should make sure to loot the gear-clickable statue in the center of the pit for their cache of reward items. Atalarion has a knock back attack that can be very nasty, doing up to 2k dmg. One option to prevent the falling damage is to fight him in the corridor leading to his circular area. There the ceiling will prevent him from sending you flying far. Alternatively you can also fight him with your back against a nearby wall.

38 (53) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=974 Jammal'an the Prophet] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=13831 Helm of Exile] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=13838 Rainstrider Leggings] 
This quest can be tricky to get. It is given by the [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5467 Atal'ai Exile] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=5467 Shadra'Alor] in the Hinterlands. He is surrounded by aggro mobs. The goal of this quest is to kill the prophet in the temple. In order to get access to the Prophet, there are 6 mini-bosses on the topmost floor that have to be killed first. When those trolls are killed the 'force field' separating Jammal'an from the rest of the temple drops. 

The room containing Jammal'an is full of mobs which spawn a non-killable ghost upon dying. These ghosts are invulnerable and do serious melee damage, but are extremely slow and will die on a relatively short timer (15-20 sec) when simply left alone. Try to stay away from them and deal with the other mobs in the pull. The caster mobs in this room are sheepable -- the other undead mobs are not, but can be Shackled by a priest. Several of these mobs also have a Fear ability, so position your party a good distance away from them and pull all mobs back in order to avoid people being Feared into additional adds. 

Jammal'an himself is 53 elite with a 53 elite caster add who isn't sheepable. Jammal'an also has mind control attack. 

46 (53) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1090 The God Hakkar] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=2951 Gemburst Circlet] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3725 Lifeforce Dirk] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5037 Avenger Helm] 
This is part of a quest line from Yeh'kinya, a troll at the docks in Tanaris. This is the fourth and final step in the quest series. It starts off by sending you to Feralas to kill a few Screecher Spirits. The second quest in the chaing entails a trip into [[Zul'farrak]] for tablet drops from two named mobs inside the instance. The third step is to retrieve the Ancient Egg from Jintha'Alor in the Hinterlands. This item is in a cave deep in the troll city. There are many level 45-50 elite trolls along path to the cave. The egg itself is guarded by 3 elite trolls levels 52-53. Once you have the Ancient Egg, you proceed to the second floor of the Sunken Temple. 

The strategy to summon Hakkar goes like this. First, it's a gated room. Once you activate the encounter by using the Ancient Egg, you'll be locked in so make sure everyone is inside. During the encounter, a shade of Hakker will appear and not do anything until you've extinguished 4 braziers at the 4 corners of the room. To extinguish them, you'll want to use the blood dropped by the bloodkeeper flying dragon mob. It will respawn 4 times but you may have to wait like a couple of minutes in between spawns. Make the loot free-for-all and designate a runner that will loot the blood and extinguish the flames. It's much simpler like that. Might want to turn back loot to original once the 4 braziers are off. 

Turning off a brazier alerts some suppressor dragonkin mobs that will terminate the encounter (and lift gates) if not killed before 3 of them shoot beams at the dragon shade of Hakkar. Rule is to kill them as soon as possible. Good time to do so is in between spawns of the bloodkeeper. Once the 4 braziers are off, Hakkar (elite 53) will spawn and is a regular beat down mob. The room has many snake-like mobs in it as well during the encounter many of them that you don't need to kill if you stick to the corners and near walls. However, they'll join Hakkar in battle once summoned so if you think you may have a hard time with the adds, clear them right before extinguishing the last brazier. 

48 (55) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1824 The Essence of Erankius] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=Chained%20Essence%20of%20Eranikus Chained Essence of Eranikus]
This comes from a drop off the last boss, Eranikus. After Eranikus dies, you get an item that gives you a quest. To complete that quest and get this one, you click on the font in the back left corner of the room. You then get the Chained Essence. You can then turn the Essence in to the night elf in the cave in SW Swamp of Sorrows to get a later quest. 

Eranikus has a non-dispellable mez attack, warstomp and knockdown attacks but is otherwise a regular beat-down without adds. Also, if you haven't done so before, you'll want to clear all the dragonkins in the area or he'll call all of the remaining ones for help which may make the fight much more difficult than needed. Finally, Eranikus seems to only be attackable if you first kill the prophet. Otherwise you'll only see its shade and won't be able to attack or agro it. 

Prior to getting to him, you'll have to dispose of a pair of patrolling dragons (52-53 elite) with breath weapon and knockback but otherwise nothing especial. 

At some point you may also get a message that two flying dragons are let loose. Those will typically circle the central area and you can avoid agroing by staying close to the walls. Overall, you'll want to kill them to give yourself some room to move in the central area. Don't fight them near the center if you haven't cleared the area of the other dragonkins. The dragon regularly use knockback attacks (as well as sleep so get the tremor totems out) which will send you into other elite mobs. They're plenty to handle by themselves without getting 2-4 elite mob adds in addition.

This boss spawns as part of an event that is started by a quest to kill him. After completing the quest you can get a scroll to summon him without using the egg. He has an extensive loot table but is not needed to kill Eranikus so is sometimes skipped.

The Temple of Atal'Hakkar

2005-06-17T18:51:41Z

Theroachman: /* Bosses */

[http://www.thottbot.com/?z=89 The Temple of Atal'Hakkar], frequently called Sunken Temple is a level 50-55 instance in the Swamp of Sorrows. The item drops here are very good and can be worth doing even at level 60. The time for a run varies because some parts can be skipped. Expect a minimum of 2-2.5 hours for an Eranikus kill. A full clear could be up to 4 hours. The zone respawn is pretty long, and the dragon types never respawn so you can frequently return to right where you died in a wipeout.

== External Guides and Maps ==
'''[http://www.worldofwar.net/cartography/instances/atalhakkar.php Annotated Instance Map] from worldofwar.net

== Quests ==
The Temple has some of the most involved quest lines yet. There are many pre-requisite steps for some of these quests. They involve Un'goro, Tanaris, and Feralas quite extensively.

===Alliance Quests===
42 (50) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1283 Into The Temple of Atal'Hakkar] 
Reward: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4062 Guardian Talisman] 
This quest line starts from Brohan Caskbelly in the Tavern in the Dwarven district of Stormwind. He asks you to investigate and find the Sunken Temple in the Swamp of Sorrows and then return. He then sends you to the Hinterlands where you are led to a drunken dwarf. The Dwarf sends you to Feralas and Tanaris to collect some parts and return. You then get sent back to the Dwarf in Stormwind who sends you back to the Sunken Temple to collect 20 items from ground spawn in and around the instance. You just need to pickup some ground spawn tablets, they are very common both inside and outside the instance.

47 (52) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=759 Haze of Evil] 
This quest is part of a quest line that starts from Muigin in the Refuge of Un'goro Crater. Muigen sends you to Gregan Brewspewer in Feralas who sends you to the Sunken Temple. You need to get five haze off the basement monsters of the temple and return to Muigen in Un'Goro.

===Horde Quests===

This quest starts a four part quest line that will send you back to the temple. Obtain the quest from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=10148 Fel'Zarul] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=10148 Stonard]. For this quest you just need to pick up some gear-clickable items called [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=24276 Atal'ai Artifacts] which spawn around the outer rim of the temple lake.

38 (50) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=3322 The Temple of Atal'Hakkar] - '''Horde''' 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5693 Guardian Talisman] 
This is the fourth part of the 'Pool of Tears' series. Parts 2-3 send you to the [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5467 Atal'ai Exile] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=5467 Hinterlands], and back again to Fel'Zarul. You just need to kill some trolls inside the instance to collect 20 [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=14905 Fetish of Hakkar].

48 (52) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=5140 Zapper Fuel] - '''Horde''' 
This quest is the third part of a chain that starts with [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=2055 Larion and Muigin] from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5508 Larion] in Marshal's Refuge in [http://www.thottbot.com/?z=68 Un'goro Crater]. For this quest you collect [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4793 Atal'ai Haze] off the basement monsters of the temple. These quest items drop almost 100% of the time from the worm and ooze mobs, but only for questers. If you are the only member of the party questing, ask for loot to be temporarily set to Free For All and you will get all of your drops very quickly.

===Neutral Quests===
46 (51) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=765 Into the Depths] 
This quest starts from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=7090 Marvon Rivetseeker], a goblin, in the center of [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=7090 Tanaris]. It sends you to the temple basement to click on the Altar of Hakkar and receive some experience (?items?). This quest can be soloed by a class with stealth (Druid/Rogue).

46 (51) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1069 Secret of the Circle] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4787 Hakkar'i Breastplate] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4767 Hakkar'i Shroud] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3827 Mark of Hakkar] 
This quest also starts from [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=7090 Marvon Rivetseeker] in the center of [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=7090 Tanaris] and gives you a hint to spawn the boss in the basement. In order to spawn him next to the final Serpent Statue (Santa Snake), you must light the statues on the main level (not the same level as the mini-bosses) to allow you access to the prophet and dragons. If you're coming up from basement, take the first passage on your right and then again go right until you hit the Hall of Serpents. The correct order to light the serpent statues is as follows: 
 
1) South 
2) North 
3) Southwest 
4) Southeast 
5) Northwest 
6) Northeast 
 
Atalarion will spawn in the pit below and yell something in Troll once your group tags the statues in the correct order. ''[troll] My banishment is ended. Let the blood flow.'' Once the boss is dead, each quester should make sure to loot the gear-clickable statue in the center of the pit for their cache of reward items. Atalarion has a knock back attack that can be very nasty, doing up to 2k dmg. One option to prevent the falling damage is to fight him in the corridor leading to his circular area. There the ceiling will prevent him from sending you flying far. Alternatively you can also fight him with your back against a nearby wall.

38 (53) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=974 Jammal'an the Prophet] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=13831 Helm of Exile] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=13838 Rainstrider Leggings] 
This quest can be tricky to get. It is given by the [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=5467 Atal'ai Exile] in [http://www.thottbot.com/?m=5467 Shadra'Alor] in the Hinterlands. He is surrounded by aggro mobs. The goal of this quest is to kill the prophet in the temple. In order to get access to the Prophet, there are 6 mini-bosses on the topmost floor that have to be killed first. When those trolls are killed the 'force field' separating Jammal'an from the rest of the temple drops. 

The room containing Jammal'an is full of mobs which spawn a non-killable ghost upon dying. These ghosts are invulnerable and do serious melee damage, but are extremely slow and will die on a relatively short timer (15-20 sec) when simply left alone. Try to stay away from them and deal with the other mobs in the pull. The caster mobs in this room are sheepable -- the other undead mobs are not, but can be Shackled by a priest. Several of these mobs also have a Fear ability, so position your party a good distance away from them and pull all mobs back in order to avoid people being Feared into additional adds. 

Jammal'an himself is 53 elite with a 53 elite caster add who isn't sheepable. Jammal'an also has mind control attack. 

46 (53) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1090 The God Hakkar] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=2951 Gemburst Circlet] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3725 Lifeforce Dirk] or [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5037 Avenger Helm] 
This is part of a quest line from Yeh'kinya, a troll at the docks in Tanaris. This is the fourth and final step in the quest series. It starts off by sending you to Feralas to kill a few Screecher Spirits. The second quest in the chaing entails a trip into [[Zul'farrak]] for tablet drops from two named mobs inside the instance. The third step is to retrieve the Ancient Egg from Jintha'Alor in the Hinterlands. This item is in a cave deep in the troll city. There are many level 45-50 elite trolls along path to the cave. The egg itself is guarded by 3 elite trolls levels 52-53. Once you have the Ancient Egg, you proceed to the second floor of the Sunken Temple. 

The strategy to summon Hakkar goes like this. First, it's a gated room. Once you activate the encounter by using the Ancient Egg, you'll be locked in so make sure everyone is inside. During the encounter, a shade of Hakker will appear and not do anything until you've extinguished 4 braziers at the 4 corners of the room. To extinguish them, you'll want to use the blood dropped by the bloodkeeper flying dragon mob. It will respawn 4 times but you may have to wait like a couple of minutes in between spawns. Make the loot free-for-all and designate a runner that will loot the blood and extinguish the flames. It's much simpler like that. Might want to turn back loot to original once the 4 braziers are off. 

Turning off a brazier alerts some suppressor dragonkin mobs that will terminate the encounter (and lift gates) if not killed before 3 of them shoot beams at the dragon shade of Hakkar. Rule is to kill them as soon as possible. Good time to do so is in between spawns of the bloodkeeper. Once the 4 braziers are off, Hakkar (elite 53) will spawn and is a regular beat down mob. The room has many snake-like mobs in it as well during the encounter many of them that you don't need to kill if you stick to the corners and near walls. However, they'll join Hakkar in battle once summoned so if you think you may have a hard time with the adds, clear them right before extinguishing the last brazier. 

48 (55) [http://www.thottbot.com/?q=1824 The Essence of Erankius] 
Rewards: [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=Chained%20Essence%20of%20Eranikus Chained Essence of Eranikus]
This comes from a drop off the last boss, Eranikus. After Eranikus dies, you get an item that gives you a quest. To complete that quest and get this one, you click on the font in the back left corner of the room. You then get the Chained Essence. You can then turn the Essence in to the night elf in the cave in SW Swamp of Sorrows to get a later quest. 

Eranikus has a non-dispellable mez attack, warstomp and knockdown attacks but is otherwise a regular beat-down without adds. Also, if you haven't done so before, you'll want to clear all the dragonkins in the area or he'll call all of the remaining ones for help which may make the fight much more difficult than needed. Finally, Eranikus seems to only be attackable if you first kill the prophet. Otherwise you'll only see its shade and won't be able to attack or agro it. 

Prior to getting to him, you'll have to dispose of a pair of patrolling dragons (52-53 elite) with breath weapon and knockback but otherwise nothing especial. 

At some point you may also get a message that two flying dragons are let loose. Those will typically circle the central area and you can avoid agroing by staying close to the walls. Overall, you'll want to kill them to give yourself some room to move in the central area. Don't fight them near the center if you haven't cleared the area of the other dragonkins. The dragon regularly use knockback attacks (as well as sleep so get the tremor totems out) which will send you into other elite mobs. They're plenty to handle by themselves without getting 2-4 elite mob adds in addition.

This boss spawns as part of an event that is started by a quest to kill him. After completing the quest you can get a scroll to summon him without using the egg. He has an extensive loot table but is not needed to kill Eranikus so is sometimes skipped.
