This is the final step in the quest line to obtain the key for The Eye, which is the raid wing of Tempest Keep.

In reference to the Phoenix-Fire Band quest reward, the final boss of The Eye is Kael'thas Sunstrider who is well renowned for his use of fire magic (WC3: TFT).

Comment by annajones

you will get the the Tempest Key right after you hand in the quest at A'dal. The key will be automatically shown up on your keyring. Take a notice. :)

Comment by Navaash

With today's annoucement by Blizzard that there will now be no attunement required to enter The Eye, it is no longer necessary to do this quest:

However the quest will remain in game; the same post also implies they may add a reward in the future for those who have fully completed this questline.

So don't worry, you can still get your Phoenix-fire Band. =)

Comment by ZokiPinto

so,u only need attunement for kara,bt and hyjal?

Comment by denniszuo

I completed SSC attunement when 2.2, and the Eye attunement today. But I can't get the title while I recieved Phoenix-fire Band. BUG or what?

Comment by Corgyll

Just confirmed by talking to a gamemaster that you HAVE to complete the attunement-quest to Serpentshrine Cavern AND Trial of the Naaru: Magtheridon to get the title "Champion of the Naaru".
It's stated in the latest patchnotes but most people miss it.

Comment by legoman

Comment by jaschmidt22

Is it possible to get the title now, after 2.3 has come out?

Comment by FuxieDK

You still get the title "<name>, Champion of the Naaru." if you complete it in v2.4

Comment by Flapalapagus

Not sure why but I also thought that these Trials were after the Arcatraz key quest chain lol. But You have to complete the VERY long quest chain that starts with this in Shadowmoon Valley The Hand of Gul'dan and then you receive these Trials. Also if you complete all 4 of these Trials, Trial of the Naaru: Mercy, Trial of the Naaru: Magtheridon, Trial of the Naaru: Strength, Trial of the Naaru: Tenacity and complete the quest The Cudgel of Kar'desh you get the cool title Champion of the Naaru. The two quest chains mentioned above used to be attunement quests for the Tempest Keep: The Eye, and Serpantshrine Cavern but are no longer required to enter the two raid dungeons. Imo this title is more prestigious than the title Hand of A'dal since Hand of A'dal is a required title to do either Mount Hyjal or Black Temple.

Comment by CyborgSmoke

Did mag's today. No title. Opened a ticket to a GM and they said no longer available to people. So gratz if u already have the title.... =|

Comment by Zuldawg

It is confirmed that the old version of Trial of the Naruu: Magtheridon is no longer sharable and the new version is, blizzards trying to spread the new version I guess.

Comment by Vlad

-> New version: does not reward title but the quest is exactly the same.

-> Old version: still awards the title, so if you had accepted it before 3.0 patch you can still get the titles by not abandoning it and just completing it.

Additionally, you could share the old version but now they restricted that but you can still get the new shared with you so you can end up having both old and new quests in the log, resulting in you getting double gold and reputation -at least when I last *tried* some weeks ago. :)

Comment by despyz

Perhaps someone can provide an answer for me.

I got this title on 3 characters a long time ago, but my warrior never completed it in time.

I see above, some people are mentioning if you have the "old" Cudgel of Kardesh, you can get the title.

My warrior has the "old" Cudgel of Kardesh, with the signet from Gruul is his inventory and he has completed two of the heroics. Does this mean I can accept the "new" Trials of Magtheridon quest after the heroics and then turn in Kardesh and get the title? Or do I also need the "old" Trials of the Magtheridon quest.

Comment by Flameseeker

Just killed Mag and handed in both these quests, obtained previously to patch 3.0, and received my title :D

Trial of the Naaru: Magtheridon
Champion of the Naaru

As of this patch, title is still possible to attain, if you still have the old quests sitting in your log.

Comment by DrKazza

Don't release if you die on Magtheridon.

I had a part of 8 80s and 1 70... I pulled healing aggro. (don't forget to kill ALL the trash) and I hit release thinking it would be a wipe... The rest of the raid carried on and killed Magtheridon, I got locked out for a week and when I could zone in I didn't get the kill credit!

So you can do this with 1 healer, 1 tank and 5 DPS 80s... if you die... don't release.

Comment by Ezzet

I did all the "old" quests before the patch exept the kill magtheridon one which I still can take from A'dal how can I see if its the right one?

Comment by AggroMachine

confirmed today 31.10.2010 that if you have been having the quest sins TBC times and complete it now you won't get the title :/ huge bummer. But credit to those who killed him back in the days!

Comment by frlek

Confirming 16/12/2010 that if you have been having the quest in your questlog before the update of the quest (for me summer 2007) you will still get the achivement AND the title <Champion of the Naaru>

Comment by Netspook

For those using the wowhead client/profiler:

This is the OLD version of the quest, with 10888 as the quest ID. If you didn't do it when the title was available, you will NEVER be able to do it, UNLESS you still have the old version in your quest log.

The new version of the quest, has 13430 as quest ID, and can be found here:

Trial of the Naaru: Magtheridon

Do note that regardless of what version you did, wowhead profiler will show one quest as complete, and the other as INcomplete, and both will have the same name. So, to clear up the mess, mark the incomplete quest in your profile, and hit the Exclude button.

Comment by trappz

I just received the title and Achievement and did NOT have the old Mag quest. I recently picked up the Magtheridon part, well after 3.0, in fact it was post MoP. I did complete the cudgel part years ago however, and had the last part of the Trial quests in my logs since TBC.

I just decided to go solo Mag, and turn in the quest, but having read this page before, I did not expect to get any reward. Well, when I turned in the quest I did not receive anything, but upon logging out and back in I was awarded the achievement and title. Quite surprised actually. Now off to finish off my Hand of A'dal title.
