The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
As a frost mage, I stood in the doorway at the bottom of the steps, just in the room but not in range of the boss's tar, and it went down quick.
Don't make the mistake I did and think you can just round up the trash around the room and clear them before tackling the boss in the middle. Some mobs are literally unkillable without the correct items from the locked rooms AND THEY PERSIST THROUGH YOUR MANY DEATHS. When you die and come back in there are several who will come after you as soon as you get to the bottom of the stairs.

Description
Tacha's big ears heard some noise in one of the tunnels. We took a peek inside. I'm not going to lie: it's grim in there. Pretty terrifying. All sorts of horrible creatures. Not the sort of thing Tacha and I usually deal with up close. You have experience dealing with monsters, right? Excellent. You go first. Don't worry. Once it's safe, we'll come in and join you. Really, it's the least we can do.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the quest's prerequisites.
- Zskera Vault: Az
We have discovered a series of vaults below the island. Neltharion hoarded treasures, accumulated knickknacks, and stashed away the results of his failed experiments. When I say he's a hoarder, I'm not kidding! He filled chamber after chamber, and in time, they were all forgotten... until now.
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- Zskera Vault: Ix
Wulferd spotted some pirates making their way into the vaults this morning. If we don't act fast, they'll strip the vault clean! We're going into the vault immediately. There's no time to lose. Will you be joining us?
