So I think i figured out this quest (or it was fixed?) Basically after you talk with him turn back to exit but dont go forward those 120lvl mobs just turn left where you can find mobs on your lvl and there is your way to go. There are 2 packs of them and after them you can turn quest there to Rastakhan.

  • Take quest from Rezan and he starts to move into the Atal'Dazor

  • Talk to the king

  • Escape the Atal'Dazor
    Just follow the king and run to the right side.
    You will see stairs up. (not the same stairs you came from)


Initially mobs were bugged and hit kinda hard, can kill you in 3-4 shots.
Don't try to fight them if that is still the case. Just run through

That's how I finally completed this wonderful (not) quest:
1. Talked to the King.
2. Waited a bit while he spoke his line "dafaq is dis mon... dis is not Rezan, mon..."
3. Mounted up (or rather shifted into travel form as a drood)
4. Ran straight to the Gonk, not stopping, not waiting for king, not fighting anything.
I got lucky that mobs didn't dismount/confuse me.

Another problem w/ this quest is that you can be easily insta-gibbed by not your Gonk's Deathwall aura, but by someone else's Gonk's aura, so watch out if another poor soul tries to complete this.
