TheWoWDBThis is a reference to a very popular fairy tale in Eastern Europe. The main villain (Koschei-necromancer) can be killed only after breaking the needle. And the needle stored in the egg.

Important: If you stumble across other players already fighting him, MAKE SURE YOU STILL RETRIEVE THE PHYLACTERY AND DESTROY IT! If you kill him without first breaking open the egg, then destroying the phylactery in your inventory, you will NOT receive credit.
If you destroyed the clicky egg first like I did, just use the item to get credit for destroying the phylactery.
