To complete this quest you need to use the [item=178496] to defeat [npc=166908].
[npc=166908] barely can be missed, it's giant soul elemental and easy to spot.
Just use provided [item=178496] to make fight easy and defeat elemental.

This guy hits like a truck. However, if you and a 2-3 of your closest (or newest) friends all use the horn given for the quest, y'all will get his ass down in seconds. It was hilarious to see dozens of the little minions surrounding him while we fought.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Memory of HonorMaldraxxus · Level 10-53

    <A tablet sits embedded in the ground near a broken armor display. The runes on the epitaph conjure images of an ancient warrior in your mind. Clearly Maldraxxus honors the history of those who claimed great victories here. Similar memorials seem to be spread throughout the trench.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The House of the ChosenMaldraxxus · Level 10-53

    <Draka gestures to the sky.> Look there, mortal. That is the necropolis of Margrave Krexus, who leads the House of the Chosen. It is my honor to serve as his baroness. Let us ride to our fortress. There we can gather our strength and make ready for the battle to come.
