TheWoWDBTo complete this you must save all FIVE souls from the bodies BEFORE you kill the boss. Four of the bodies are along the path, but one of the bodies is behind a group of mobs that you can easily skip. This group is right outside of the temple, before the little island that leads to the boss. Kill that group, save the souls, then kill the boss. Booyah.

Frustrating, one of these daft quests that you have to google to find out that you can't get it and only realize after you've finished. The blue quest reward and half million xp won't be yours this time.
You then go back and travel around the big instance fruitlessly. The end point with the ? is shut off from you.
Then you come to a page like this and wonder why they STILL make quests like this.
The quest says free Taran Zhu of the sha. Not free this or that soul. I hate quests with unspecified requirements. Battle ticket on this the GameMaster first told me "havent completed the quest." The second complaint I get referred me here. Sheesh. What a crock.

Description
Our lord, Taran Zhu, has been overcome by a sha of pure hatred. The whole monastery has been lost! {class}, you must find a way to free him of this possession. Last I knew, he was meditating in the Grove of Falling Blossoms.
