TheWoWDBThis extra objective came to me as a surprise, because you would face a lot of murlocs, that would respawn every minute, and as you get closer to the Void Manifestation, or too far, it would completly silence you. I thought maybe that finishing some of the main quests would take me to this place eventually, but all that did was completly remove it. What was Blizzard thinking with this one? At least, if you wanna do this, it should be doable in a group (even though some will probably comment that they soloed it easily). I only played the first raid in TWW, and so I was around 100 ilvl when I tried this mission. Kinda sad the quest got removed after finishing the main quests, and that your timing to do this gotta be before the big boss, but during when you pick up artifacts (7). I even went further into the place (you can normally only see one from the safe spot), and I figured out there were maybe 10 of the Void Manifestations, including completly silencing your spells. If it didn't silence my spells, I could maybe, perhaps be able to sneak through the back door and get one down...but there were so many murlocs, that also do scratch damage over time hits on you, that it's easy to die.

I am unsure how I am to solo this quest, I love exploring especially when it comes to a new expansion so I didn't expect to see this bonus objective. But with everything spawning quickly, and mobs constantly around this thing, not to mention the void manifestion itself is hard to deal with, this feels rather impossible to do by yourself, and I haven't seen anyone else come a long so I haven't been able to complete it.
Today i figured out a Tactic that seems to work with the Void manifestation.. on the left side of the area you have a rocky cliff and towards the bottom there is a bit of rocks. that you can perch yourself on as a Warlock and then dispatch your Minion to attack the void manifestation from afar.
i have tried to attack from the other side, via the building and also by kitting it to the rest of the npc's fighting the void.
Only by hugging the Cliff to the left was i able to solo it.

The High Exarch commanded us to assemble with his Vanguard of Light and attack the Devouring Host. I do not regret my delay of that order, but he will have noticed my absence. We should make haste and assemble with the others.
