While this beast is an elite, and over 600K HPs, it is soloable.

My lvl 88 rogue with quest greens and blues stealthed up behind him with all my cool downs ready. Ambush, Garotte, Revealing Strike, SnD, Combat Readiness and then Evasion and Killing Spree.

After this, Darkhide was down almost 50%, but was beginning to channel his dangerous attack, something called Ground and Pound, as I recall. You will know it is happening when you see rocks and dust fly up around you.

The natural urge is to fight through it, which I found suicidal, or to run in a straight line away. This is better, but you still take a ton of damage. Instead, run in a circle around the mob so it can't get a chance to face you until he stops channelling and the dust settles, then go back in and fight some more.

By the end of the battle my 219K HP rougue was still over 50% with no heals, health pots or even using Recuperate. It's the circling motion that made the difference.

"This face is worn with age and stares at you with lifeless, guilt-inducing eyes."

You know, if they're going to make me feel this guilty about killing all these animals for no particular reason, they could at least make the questline optional for the zone quest meta achievement.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stalker MasteryValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    Tigers! No matter what land I go to I hear about these big fanged beasts. And yet I haven't had a chance to hunt any of them. Let's go hunt some tigers. I'll go east, you go west. I think I saw some near Dustback Gorge. I'm sure there are tons near those mushan.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fox MasteryValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    So, when I was scouting east of here I saw a collection of foxes. That's what I first learned to hunt when back on the Wandering Isle. If you want to see the challenge a young pandaren hunter faced when growing up, head east and face off against a bunch of foxes.
