Description

Everything we've done in the Ghostlands has been done with the goal of taking back what is rightfully ours. The Scourge have maintained their chokehold on the region for far too long.

The time has come for payback, <name>. Thanks to your help and the help of our new allies, the Forsaken, vengeance will soon be ours.

He who sought to steal the power of the Sunwell must die. Go to Deatholme, the Scourge stronghold south of the Dead Scar. Bring me Dar'Khan's head and your deeds will go down in history!

He's got an AoE fear and adds. Don't bother trying to solo.

Remember to use your AoE silence racial when you see him casting it. Just try to remind everyone not to use all of them at once. Keep him from fearing and you'll be fine.

He's in the building in the middle way down in the basement.

You can pull the sides with the Blood Elf racial Mana Tap or any other ranged spell, always worked for me. Use it on the caster and run out of sight then it'll come to you.

I've found it easiest to fight him down in his room, so if you don't interrupt his fear it's most likely you don't run out and aggro respawns.
