Fortunately, you don't have to kill him dead. You only have to kill him down to about 80% and then he decides he has somewhere else he'd rather be. I can lick 30 tigers today....

Comment by JulsKaye

You don't have to kill him, you can stop fighting him as soon as Jaina appears with the quest completion question mark. Complete the quest and he vanishes.

TBH this one caught me by surprise, seeing the culprit initially. More of this please

Comment by Griggy

Nice to know you don't have to kill him, since there's no way I can. He kills me quickly, before I can get him down to 95%. I'm doing crappy at this whole update.

"Surprised?" Why yes, yes I am.

Comment by archdruidbook

This would have been more intimidating had he not been stuck in my druid's travel form.

"Surprised?" To hear your voice instead of my own, yes, I am.

Comment by Bursi

On a quite new character, I had to do some of the old campaign quests (2/9) until helping to free the Runecarver's arm. I got The First Move when I turned in The Weak Link and returned to Oribos.
You can talk to Highlord Bolvar Fordragon instead of Polemarch Adrestes to skip until Korthia.

When I skipped it, I immediately got Call of the Primus. Talk to Tal-Inara in Oribos to start the questline for Zereth Mortis.
She also offers a skip, I've you have done the campaign with an alt before. You'll start there with 3/7 chapters of Secrets of the First Ones and unlocked world quests.

Beware that you will miss the rewards of the first three chapters, if you skip them.
Edit: With the Hotfix for March 18th, players who skip the Zereth Mortis story will get the reputation with the Enlightened.

Campaign:
Chapter 1

Chapter 1 took about 25 minutes with itemlevel <190.

Chapter 2:

Favor of the First Ones - burn 8 objectives
Necessary Harvest - collect 15 protein from enemies
Our Forward Scouts - find and talk to 3 Knight of the Ebon Blade
Knowing is Half the Battle - travel to the marked area, meet Shandris Feathermoon
Scour the Sands - go to the yellow circles to discover the area. If you lose your stealth, talk to Shandris Feathermoon nearby

/way 50.60 45.25 3
/way 47.99 44.84 4
Battle for the Forge - kill 8 enemies
Together, We Ride - click 5 Injured Ranger
In Plain Sight - reach the obelisk and kill enemies behind you until Converted Guardian is attackable. Kill it
Reinforcements May Be Necessary - return to Haven
A Break in Communication - give orders to 3 NPC
Nothing is True - kill 4 Jiro Caretaker: throw questitem Tonal Jammer on Jiro Caretaker
This is Your Fault, Fix It - click 5 Forge Defense Node
Doppelganger Duel - go to the marked area in the middle of the map and fight against this person :-)
Fighting for the Forge - talk to Lady Jaina Proudmoore
Seeking Haven - click the teleport to return

Chapter 2 took about 40 minutes with itemlevel <200.
I got several itemlevels, about 1900 rep with The Enlightened, some Anima and 12 renown so far (chapter 1 & 2).

Chapter 3:

Danger Near and Far - go to the marked area and enter the building
A Mysterious Voice - click the door, watch dialogue and kill attacking enemies
Core of the Matter - return to Haven and talk to Elder Kreth
Seeking the Unknown - enter the building at 33.63 65.78 and click the information
Finding Firim - find the NPC, click its corpse and go to the cave
Security Measures - click the Sensory Synchronizer near you. Leave the cave and reset 10 traps
Unseen Agents - kill 3 enemies
Now You May Speak - talk to Firim and click the console
Surveying Cyphers - examine the 3 concordances marked on your map. Visit the fourth location. Kill Maw-Frenzied Lupine and click the item behind him. Return to the cave
Cyphers of the First Ones - click the console again. Unlock the first option and get your Pocopoc
The Way Forward - return to Haven

Chapter 3 took about 30 minutes with itemlevel 200. It gave less rewards than the previous ones.
In total I got about 2k reputation, 15 itemlevels and 15 renown.

My low geared Priest could not survive this as Shadow, but managed it as Disc. For anyone who is not the best at moving out of things swiftly, healing spec is a good option.

Comment by Hollye

I'm Horde. I'm surprised that this quest doesn't show up as "A H" because I certainly picked it up and completed it. It took a few tries as a rogue, but managed to use as many interrupts at just the right times, so that I could bandage without DoT damage going on. (Don't forget to kite.) He stops beating you up at 816K health, When you hear him say "you need help" and that sort of thing, you'll hear Jaina's voice and that's when he stops his beat down, and you can turn the quest in to Jaina who shows up on the grass just outside the ring.

Comment by nzlawyer

This one is actually quite easy. I am a squishy Mistweaver Panda Monk and do not have the armour. However, I survived with ease.

You fight back however you do that. For me I basically kept up with the heals and threw attacks in between. However, when your doppelganger turns into Mal'Ganis you need to keep a sharp eye open.

Carry on heals and fighting but as soon as he casts his carrion attack, jump straight behind him. He is so focussed on turning you into a yellow streak of gunk that he cannot face you or attack back. As such, in the best traditions of dirty fighting, get him from behind. Whatever you do, stay out of the area of effect (AoE) of the Carrion attack as this will give your HP a real drubbing. Survivable but it means you cannot attack back really.

Once you have him at 80%, Bain and Jaina appear and you can collect the quest. He then does a runner and you carry on the quest line.

You do not need any special gear or spells. Just keep clear of the Carrion attack and slowly whittle him down.

Good luck!

Description

Something about this doesn't sit right with me. From what you reported, this seems like intentional sabotage from within our ranks... or the work of more dreadlords. If dreadlords are involved, then the obelisk may be at risk! Get to it--if we linger on this it may be too late!
