Objectives

Kill Zuluhed the Whacked and recover [Zuluhed's Key]. Use Zuluhed's Key on Zuluhed's Chains to free Karynaku.

Quest text

He hides in my thoughts, mortal. He waits for me to break... for me to bend to his will.

And this will be his undoing. I will call for him. I will tell him that I will do as he asks. When he appears, kill him and take the key!

Know this: Zuluhed is an ancient orc with unknown powers. He has surely been empowered further by Illidan. You risk your life for me in doing as I ask. Are you certain you wish to make such a sacrifice?

Progress

You must... free... my children...

Completion

I am free! You have saved us, <name>!

Notes

Once you accept the quest from Karynaku, Zuluhed the Whacked, (coordinate 69,61) a level 73 elite will appear by the entrance to the courtyard you're in along with 8 archers along the top wall. You can reset the quest by flying/jumping off the ledge. Zuluhed will despawn and you have to abandon the quest and reaccept it.

Easiest way to complete it is to get a cookie cutter group of a tank, healer, and 3 dps classes. It's easier to fly up to the courtyard, but you can also clear your way up the path. Clear out one of the rooms either to the left or right of the entrance, then accept the quest and have all of your group run into the room and start the fight. About 30 seconds into the fight, he starts to summon Arcubus Destroyer a level 68 elite demon. His summon spell is has a half-second casting time so it's hard to interrupt. After 15 seconds, the demon will spawn and you have to deal with it as well.

If you clear both rooms, once he starts casting the summon, run into the other room. Zuluhed will follow, but the demon, being in an empty room, will not aggro and can be ignored. Just stay away from the door to that room.

As of patch 2.3, you can continue to help others complete this quest after you have become neutral with the Netherwing. While the Dragonmaw orcs and enslaved nether drakes will not be hostile, you will be able to attack Zuluhed himself, as well as the Arcubus Destroyer. This was not the case in previous versions.
