Description

With Gorefiend's items restored, there is but one last piece to this puzzle: A host.

<The ancient shadowmoon spirit's lips curl up to form a wicked grin.>

Surely you did not believe the fairy tale that I told you. The Altar of Shadows is my prison. Without your help, I would have been stuck here for all eternity. Now, I will take over your body and you will destroy my captors and break these bonds. Refuse and we will both be stuck here forever.

Teron Gorefiend will be free!

This chain begins differently depending on whether you're Alliance (A) or Horde (H):

Alliance - starts in Wildhammer Stronghold from Zorus the Judicator:
1. (A) [69] A Ghost in the Machine
2. (A) [69] Harbingers of Shadowmoon
3. (A) [70] Teron Gorefiend - Lore and Legend

Horde - starts in Shadowmoon Village from Chief Apothecary Hildagard:
1. (H) [69] A Haunted History
2. (H) [69] Spectrecles
3. (H) [70] Teron Gorefiend - Lore and Legend

At this point the chain splits into three parts which can be done in any order (and by both factions):
4a. [70] Divination: Gorefiend's Cloak
4b. [70] Divination: Gorefiend's Truncheon [2 players]
4c. [70] Divination: Gorefiend's Armor [5 players]

After collected Gorefiend's stuff and returned it to the spirit, you will get:
5. (A) [70] Teron Gorefiend, I am...
5. (H) [70] Teron Gorefiend, I am...

For this final quest, Gorefiend becomes your "pet" and you control him using a pet bar. Having used him to kill Karsius, you return to Zorus or Hildagard to claim your reward. Choose from:
Evoker's Helmet of Second Sight (cloth DPS headpiece)
Stealther's Helmet of Second Sight (leather melee headpiece)
Druidic Helmet of Second Sight (leather magical headpiece)
Stalker's Helmet of Second Sight (mail +AP headpiece)
Shamanistic Helmet of Second Sight (mail +dmg headpiece)
Overlord's Helmet of Second Sight (plate DPS headpiece)

Edit: converted to new tag format to fix URL overload problem.

Took a few tries, but here's what worked best for me (and my group):

1. Start with the AoE/DoT spell.
2. Follow immediately with the lifesteal spell.
3. Use Unholy Armor and lifesteal spell everytime they become available.
4. Done.

I found that aside from opening the fight the AoE/DoT costs too much time. And I recommend using the lifesteal spell right at the beginning for a reason: not to heal yourself, but to do a good deal of damage.

If you lose the fight, simply abandon the quest and retake it.

Good luck!

(If you found my comment useful, please rate it. Thank you.)

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Divination: Gorefiend's TruncheonShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    One by one they knelt before him, offering their lives as a show of allegiance. Gorefiend hoisted his sickle and cut clean their heads. Shortly after this slaughter, Gorefiend took his own life. But this was no act of contrition! No, Gorefiend sought immortality!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Enraged Spirits of Fire and EarthShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    We must try and make amends. We must commune with the elements of this region and see if anything can be done! I grant you the totem of spirits, <race>. If you slay an enraged elemental spirit in close proximity of the totem, it will consume the elemental's soul.
