Just to the south. Sits an a rock in the water. Just use the provided item to aggro him.
The bird got 118k hp which will take a while to burn down and also hits for ~3k before migitation
Did it with a warlock whose voidwalker tanked, after the first 'burn down' strategy didn't work out that well
You will need some healing for the tank as well, as 118k hp don't go away in a few seconds :)

What to do

StorylineDragonblight, step 56 of 149

Description

I can feel that the shrine is not completely back in balance. The verdant keeper has been angered by our actions, and I sense that he will not listen to reason. Alystros is an immense skytalon who perches at the south end of the Emerald Dragonshrine. It is he who is in charge of the dragonshrine's aerial defenses. I fear that we will have to deal with him. Take these skytalon molts and place them on the ground where he can see them. He will come. Bring me his plume.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cycle of LifeDragonblight · Level 15-30

    Ysera sleeps in the Emerald Dream, watching over both the Dream and Azeroth. But a horrible nightmare has taken hold in the Dream, and now I fear that Ysera is being affected by it. Recently, I asked her to aid in the fight against the Scourge that are raising frostwyrms at the other dragonshrines.

After 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.
