TheWoWDBThis foul chunk is what those warlocks sought year after year. I will protect it myself, or destroy it if possible, and ensure Kroshius never rises again.
He says that because getting his core used to be a warlock quest for learning the infernal spell :)

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Just pointing out: ENSLAVABLE.
Does not respawn until the Enslaved Demon is dead.
Also, his healthpool doesn't change; NEITHER DOES HIS SIZE. Yes, he is absolutely freakin' huge!
there is no pre quest needed, I just land with my MW monk for the bracers and could get the quest. =)

Shadow Curse Hood, Whisperwind Armbands, Infernal Breastplate, 21g, 5,150 XPDescription
The most fearsome demon in Shatter Scar Vale is known as Kroshius. Though many have hunted him over the years, destruction has only made him stronger. Time after time, warlocks have come to this forest and reanimated Kroshius. He now lurks in the southeast, surrounded by demonic fire, awaiting any who come to try and claim his power. I will not have this corrupt cycle continue! Kill Kroshius, and bring his infernal core to me.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hunting the Damned
The first demons to set foot in this forest were infernals. Long ago, these powerful beings of stone and demonic fire fell from the sky to take this land for the Burning Legion. The charred craters of Shatter Scar Vale to the south are where these infernals landed, and many still wander there.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Enemy at our Roots
The goblins are already upon us! We have tried everything in our power to warn the goblins to leave Irontree Clearing before we resorted to violence. As they turned a blind ear to us, we struck, and now rather than spare the forest they would lay down their lives for greed.
