TheWoWDBWhen you get this quest, do a 180 and go straight up the rocky ramp behind you. You'll be in a series of rocky canals full of Mana-corrupted Waterspawn. Head into the water and take the passage on the right. Follow the canal and you'll end up at a pool with the boss in the middle.
Fight the Azurefall Guardian and then when its health is low, use the ritual focus. The guardian will purge itself of the corruption, and then you have to fight Congealed Corruption, which has almost twice the health of the guardian. You don't have to worry about accidentally killing the guardian - it will stop at 1% and won't die, so you might want to just dps it down fast and then use the focus at that point.
Recommend doing Something in the Water at the same time, since you'll probably end up killing half a dozen of the water elemental mobs on your way to the boss anyway.

What to do
Azurefall Essence, 20g 22s, 6,150 XPDescription
Do you feel it in the air, {race}? The stage is set for us to make things right. While you were busy I was able to track down the elder elemental that rules these waters. Its name is the Azurefall Guardian and it resides within the channels below Tel'anor. Take the ritual focus, it should help you during the battle.
