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 :)
Quest
The Plume of Alystros
A World of Warcraft quest in Dragonblight. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Alystros can be found at 64,76, on a rock. He's Doable by an dps/healer combination, 118k HP are a lot to bring down however, so if you can find one more it's better.
I've always found those kind of comments helpful. If I know several other people are able to solo it at 75, then I know to leave it alone at 72 but at 77 I should be able to handle it.

What to do
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 Life
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 Lashers
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.
