It is as I feared. We cannot fuse the shards together until the Void has been driven from this place.

Quickly, strike down these aberrations. I suspect the source of the corruption will not sit idle in response.

After pulling stand on the platform. The void balls don't hit you so you only have to look out for the swirlies he places under you.

If you die multiple times and decide to come back another day, you have to drop the quest and retake it or he won't pop.

Chill, you have all the time in the world, no need to rush. Avoid damage first, then deal damage. There are two abilities you should pay attention to and avoid:
1. [spell=302594] will be done in a cone in front of him. Move behind him.
2. [spell=302299] will fall on the swirlies on the ground. Move away from the swirlies.
When he isn't doing these two abilities, dps him.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

We Must Go DeeperLevel 50
These shards can only do so much in their current state. They are broken and scattered... not unlike my kin. We must bring them together. Let us go deeper into the Emerald Dream. I know of a place where we can reforge the shards into a dragonscale.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Stuff Dreams Are Made OfLevel 50
All that remains is to throw the emerald fragments you collected into the lake. I will use my power to bind them together. If this works, they will be reforged into a powerful dragonscale that you can use to empower the Heart of Azeroth.
