Use "The Horn Of Elemental Fury" at the most south sinkhole, just south-west of the Steam Springs. Lord Kryxix spawn and goes to the frost elemental before he attacks you. Lord Kryxix is a lvl 71 non-elite and an easy fight. Confirm the location(70,36)

What to do

StorylineBorean Tundra, step 163 of 182

Description

I have created and bound Alluvius using the Horn of Elemental Fury. He will respond to the horn's call when you stand near the southernmost sinkhole in the Geyser Fields. The quake Alluvius will unleash should collapse the Nerubian tunnels and put an end to their flanking attack. I wouldn't be surprised if the Nerubian commander showed himself after the quake. If the collapse of the tunnels doesn't break the back of their assault, the defeat of their leader surely will.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Horn of Elemental FuryBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    I can fashion the likeness of an elemental from these pieces of inanimate stone, but breathing life into it is different. For that, we'll need help and a bit of luck. Legend tells of an ancient artifact called the Horn of Elemental Fury, sought after by a great hero.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sage Highmesa is MissingBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    There are many new mysteries walking the lands now. One of our sages, Highmesa, has foolishly gone north with only one longrunner to investigate something strange near the Dens of Dying. What are the dens, you ask? They are a sacred place to the magnataur, where they go in their old age to die.
