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.

Alliance Quests

42 (50) Into The Temple of Atal'Hakkar
Reward: 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 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) 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

Pool of Tears - Horde
This quest starts a quest line that will send you back to the temple. For this quest you just need to pick up some ground spawn tablets.

The Temple of Atal'Hakkar - Horde
Rewards: Guardian Talisman
This is the followup quest to Pool of Tears. You just need to kill some trolls.

Zapper Fuel - Horde
This quest is part of a quest line that starts from Larion in the Refuge of Un'goro Crater. You need to get some haze off the basement monsters of the temple.


Neutral Quests

46 (51) Into the Depths
This quest starts from Marvon Rivetseeker, a goblin, in the center of Tanaris. It sends you to the temple basement to click on the Altar of Hakkar and receive some experience (?items?).

46 (51) Secret of the Circle
Rewards: Hakkar'i Breastplate and Hakkar'i Shroud and Mark of Hakkar
This quest also starts from the goblin in the center of tanaris and gives you a hint to spawn the boss in the basement. In order to spawn the boss next to the final Serpent Statue (Santa Snake), you must light the statues on the main level. The order to light the statues is as follows
1) South
2) North
3) Southwest
4) Southeast
5) Northwest
6) Northeast


38 (53) Jammal'an the Prophet
Rewards: Helm of Exile or Rainstrider Leggings This quest can be tricky to get. It is given by the Atal'ai Exile in Shadra'Alor in the Hinterlands. He is surrounded by aggro mobs. The goal of this quest is to kill the prophet in the temple.

46 (53) The God Hakkar
Rewards: Gemburst Circlet or Lifeforce Dirk or 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. Then a trip into Zul'farrak. 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 trolls along path to the cave. The egg itself is guarded by 3 elite trolls levels 52-53. Once you have the egg, you must defeat a long series of mobs in the Temple instance.

48 (55) The Essence of Erankius
Rewards: Chained Essence of Eranikus This comes from a drop off the last boss, Eranikus. You can then turn this item in to the night elf in the cave in SW Swamp of Sorrows to get a later quest.

Bosses

Avatar of Hakkar

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.

Dreamscythe Weaver Hazzas Morphaz

These drakes do not drop an item everytime but when they do it can be very nice. It is very very hard to get a Drakeclaw Band or Drakestone with the stats you want.

Gasher Hukku Loro Mijan Zolo Zul'Lor

These bosses rarely drop anything, but when they do it can be good.

Atal'alarion

A very frequently skipped boss because he is not needed to get to any other boss in the zone. If you decide to run him expect to add 30-45 minutes to the run just for him.

Jammal'an the Prophet

Good news for casters. Even these blues have some trouble beating some nice greens but they are a bit easier to get than a nice green.

Ogom the Wretched

Drops aren't that hot but he is linked with the prophet so you kill him anyway.

Spawn of Hakkar

These guys spawn as part of the Hakkar event.

Shade of Eranikus

He drops 2 items per kill. The hardest challenge this dungeon has to offer. Make sure you have killed all drakes, whelps and dragonkin as he will summon any living ones to defend him when you attack.
