TheWoWDBThis quest can be frustrating. If you happen to die and are ported outside the labyrinth to the graveyard, to get back to the quest area go to coordinates: 36.16 58.26 at Jaedenar, just above the "DE" on the map.

Is this quest bugged? or has The War Within scaling just completely broken any semblance of reason for these mobs?
I got this quest at 50 on my Night Elf warrior, waited until 71 to complete it and most mobs are hitting me for 30-40% of my hp every other hit, some of the bigger demons can do 60,000 dmg with one of their attacks.
heck, even one of the warlocks imps managed to kill me with a single fireball doing almost half my hp in damage.
Extremely frustrating to say the least...
Thank you so much for this! It's ridiculous that in 2023 we still don't rez at our body's spot.

Description
The time for subtlety is over. Lord Hel'nurath has made himself known to us... and I will not rest until I see him slain. <Maiev clenches her teeth.> Ready yourself, {name}. Together we will show these demons why they should fear the kaldorei.

I can't believe how much Nari has been through. This perversion of our history, our culture... my family... <Lysander glances at his sister.> These demons came in here from somewhere. I'm certain the source of their invasion lies in the depths of our barrow den. You and I can put a stop to it.
