It wasn't the most graceful method, but with my Moonkin soloing, I ran around in circles avoiding the shadow circles and blasted him with Moonfire and Sunfire. The latter seemed to cause a bit more damage. It was a grind, but it worked.

Hopefully it helps another druid player.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Shadow RisingHallowfall · Level 75-78

    I can sense three beacons of void ahead, all funneling their power into one massive font of darkness. You will need to kill them. With them dead, I can bring down the shield.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Flame Still BurnsHallowfall · Level 75-78

    That was too close. This attack took a toll on all of us. We have many injured, and many shaken. Can you check in with people? See how they are doing?
