Objectives
Slay 6 Fiery Behemoths or Seething Pyrelords.
- Invader slain at Sethria's Roost x6
Description
We need to place pressure on the assault camp at Sethria's Roost. Ragnaros' minions are using this area as a point to push their battlefront beyond the bounds of Hyjal. I'm putting you in charge of a small squad to deal with them.
I have selected an elite group of fighters to assist you. Travel to Sethria's Roost. Your compatriots have been instructed to meet you once you arrive. Then put an end to the elementals' assault.
Rewards
You will receive: [Mark of the World Tree] x2 and 18
80
Progress
I believe your assignment requires you to be in Hyjal, <race>.
Completion
A job well done, soldier. While our mission in the Firelands is critical, we must not forget about the well-being of Hyjal.
Speak with my brother again tomorrow, and he will have another squad prepared for you.
Gains
You will receive:
- 86750 XP (or 20
67
at max level)
- +350 reputation Guardians of Hyjal
Notes
Head back to the Sanctuary of Malorne to pick up this quest. Return to Malfurion's Breach on the Molten Front to turn in.
Sethria's Roost has been taken over by level 85 elite Fiery Behemoths and Seething Pyrelords with 774k health.
The Fiery Behemoths have the following abilities:
- Fire Nova — Inflicts Fire damage to nearby enemies. 1.5 sec cast. Interruptible. Knockback. Hits for 8300-9500 Fire in a roughly 10-yard radius around the caster.
- Fiery Boulder 150 yd range — Throws a massive boulder, dealing 40500 to 49500 damage and knocking back nearby enemies. 1 sec cast. Thrown at the player. It has a few seconds of travel time, so get out of the shadow on the ground before it lands.
The Seething Pyrelords have the following abilities:
- Chain Fireball 40 yd range — Hurls a fireball at the enemy, dealing 1429 to 1661 Fire damage and then jumping to additional nearby enemies. Affects 5 total targets. Instant.
- Flame Shock — Instantly burns an enemy, then inflicts additional Fire damage every 3 sec. for 12 sec. Instant. ~8500 Fire initial hit, then ticks for ~1495 Fire every 3 sec after that.
- Reflective Shield — Wraps the caster in a shield that lasts up to 8 sec, reflecting any absorbed damage back onto the attacker. 2 sec cast. Interruptible. A protector will yell the following when this is cast:
- Don't attack it while the shield is up!
The Hyjal Protector party
Players will not have to solo these elites. Upon landing in Sethria's Roost, players will receive a group of 4 NPCs including 3 Hyjal Protectors, taking the role of bear, cat and caster, and a random one from the following 40:
