Leviroth resides under the Iceblock at 51, 88. Or at the little island in the middle-north of the Riplash Ruins. Little Warning: When you impaled him, you'll have to fight him from 8% to zero. Watch the amount of air you've left ;)

You actually don't need to worry about air at all. When you swim down to where he is located, there is a round rock with a jagged crack in it and bubbles coming out of it. Just stand over it and you gain the effect "Air Bubbles" and fills your breath for you. You can even fight him while standing over the bubbles.

Even if you think he's dead, impale him anyway. On one toon, I had to wait for a respawn, so on an alt I just sat there and waited for like 10 min looking at what I thought was a corpse. It wasn't, and I felt really dumb.

What to do

StorylineBorean Tundra, step 62 of 182

Description

Raj Naz'jan was the emperor of Riplash when Leviroth was imprisoned. Azshara herself blessed his trident so it would slay the beast should it ever escape. Now you wield it, {race}. As much as it disgusts me, I will have my revenge on these barbaric giant-men. Take the trident to the depths beneath Riplash. You will find Leviroth below an iceberg closest to northern Riplash. Drive the trident into his flesh and slay him! Return to whomever sent you when you're done; I wish to see no more of you.

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.
