There are three types of elementals to kill here that provide buffs when they die: the Enslaved Inferno, which increases your damage by 5%, the Enslaved Tempest, which decreases damage taken by 5%, and the Enslaved Waterspout, which increases health regeneration by 100%. These buffs last for 15 minutes each, as long as you remain in the Twilight Highlands.

Description

Look, if there's one thing I know, it's elementals. I've been able to really gain an appreciation for how they feel. Let me tell you, they don't appreciate being enslaved one bit! So, what I'm saying here is that if you were to free the enslaved elementals, I'm sure that not only would they show their gratitude, they'd also likely turn on their masters. Sounds like a win-win to me, {name}.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Portal OverloadTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    I used to be the caretaker of the Earthen Ring's portals here. But while we were away helping to save Deepholm, the Twilight's Hammer moved in and corrupted the area. They're using powerful ascendants to guard our portals. That's where they've made a critical error.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Spirit of the LochTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    I have no knowledge of any artifact that Cho'gall is crafting, but I think I know one that can help. Countess Verrall is the ancient spirit of Loch Verrall to the north. She has no love for the Twilight's Hammer, who have polluted her waters. Seek her for the wisdom that you seek.
