Turgid the Vile can be found within the large ruined hold in the Carrion Fields, northeast of Venomspite below Naxxramas.

The reanimated frost wyrms can be found around Wyrmrest Temple, to the north, fairly easy to locate.

Overseer Deathgaze is tricky to locate. Jintha'kalar is a troll area invaded by Scourge, just under the stairs to Zul'Drak, north of the Carrion Fields. The Overseer himself is in an area of the village furthest north, on the west side of the huge staircase, standing on a small raised Scourge-ish platform. You can throw the seed from the side of it, avoiding the mobs, then silence/interrupt him (or death grip if you're a DK) to make him come over.

You have to use the Seeds of Nature's Wrath on the mobs or you won't get credit for the kill. The Reanimated Frost Wyrm has to be started with the Seeds - you almost have to be right under one to be in range. Reanimated frost Wyrms are found at 53.5, 37.8. Turgid the Vile at 86.0,47.5 - just inside the building. Overseer Deathgaze at 89.2,19.6 - on raised platform at far end of area.

Description

Since we only have three seeds, we must put them to the best possible use. Your targets are one of the reanimated frost wyrms circling to the north near Galakrond's Rest, Turgid the Vile in the ruined barracks at the Carrion Fields to the east, and Overseer Deathgaze at Jintha'kalar far to the northeast. While the seeds would outright destroy one of the lesser Scourge, they will greatly weaken these three. Enough so, in fact, that you should be able to handle them on your own.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Seeds of the LashersDragonblight · Level 15-30

    We need more weapons in the fight against the Scourge. The natural properties of the Emerald Dragonshrine to the southeast may be the answer. Any unliving creature, save those that Sylvanas has redeemed, that steps foot in the dragonshrine falls to dust.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Mystery of the InfiniteDragonblight · Level 15-30

    A time storm at the Bronze Dragonshrine to the northeast is keeping immortals from entering. The Infinite Dragonflight are in a fight inside with the defenders to wrest control of the dragonshrine. We must take this opportunity to gain information. You are not immortal.
