This quest will throw you for a loop, as it is exceptionally hard. It's Blinding Swarm ability will do MASSIVE damage to you, and running from it simply makes it follow you, while you aren't doing any damage from fleeing. I would strongly suggest you bring a friend to down it. I have died 4 times on this guy alone. If possible, stun or silence him as soon as he starts the swarm. It is non-interruptable, so this is your best bet, and hit him with all of your cooldowns. DO NOT count on Taradar to be much help at all, or to take aggro off of you...he will not do so.

Also, try to repair before going into it...if you die a couple times, you do not want to have to go back and repair.

The minions are around his location, and are easy to kill.

He is not a rare or elite, just one of those (!) mobs. Be warned.

Edit: Rogues-- As soon as he uses Blinding Swarm, Vanish and get behind him. Taradar will grab the aggro, and you thus avoid it. Ambush when he's done swarming and kill for the win. Just killed him today as a 44 Rogue.

Description

I know we're supposed to head to Northdale, but that can wait, right? Besides, this lovely little goblin was just telling me about some Scourge that are even closer by. So apparently there's this nerubian underlord named Ix'lar that has been trying to make a name for himself ever since the Lich King was slain. He's set up a camp of undead to our north. Sure, Tyrosus wants us to kill banshees in Northdale. We'll get to that. But let's kill this nerubian first, while we're close!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Argent Call: NorthdaleEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    Tyrosus has given us our next task: slaying more undead in Northdale. Gidwin is excited to move forward, but I think we should show a little more caution. Let's meet up with Fiona. She should be at the next tower by now... Eastwall Tower, I think it's called.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • ImpatienceEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    Damn that dwarf. He's always getting me in trouble with Fiona. Look at her! She won't even TALK to me! I'm going to stay here and try to mend my friendship with our worgen friend. Would you mind going out and making sure Gidwin is alright? I'm sure he's fine; he knows how to take care of himself.
