''Troll legends tell of a powerful sword called Sul'thraze the Lasher, a weapon capable of instilling fear and weakness in even the most formidable of foes. Long ago, the weapon was split in half. However, rumors have circulated that the two halves may be found somewhere within Zul'Farrak's walls. Reports have also suggested that a band of mercenaries fleeing Gadgetzan wandered into the city and became trapped. Their fate remains unknown. But perhaps most disturbing of all are the hushed whispers of an ancient creature sleeping within a sacred pool at the city's heart - a mighty demigod who will wreak untold destruction upon any adventurer foolish enough to awaken him.''

=== Preparation for Zul'Farrak ===
 
−
* Before patch 3.0.8, one group member in possession of [[Mallet of Zul'Farrak]] is needed to summon [[Gahz'rilla]]. Now, Gahz'rilla can be summoned without the hammer.
 
−  
−
As recorded on [[Ancient Tablet]]:
 
−
:''The Mallet of Zul'Farrak''
 
−  
−
:''To create the Mallet of Zul'Farrak, one must first travel to the Altar of Zul and obtain the sacred mallet from a troll Keeper''
 
−  
−
:''Next, one must bring the sacred mallet to the altar atop of the troll city of Jintha'alor''
 
−  
−
:''Using the sacred mallet at the altar will infuse it with power, and transform it into the Mallet of Zul'Farrak''
 
−  
−
[[Sacred Mallet]] is a [[Static drop]] from [[Qiaga the Keeper]] atop the [[Altar of Zul]]. [[Use]] the [[Sacred Mallet]] at the altar atop [[Jintha'Alor]] to create the [[Mallet of Zul'Farrak]].

== Tactical overview ==
 
−
[[File:Zul'Farrak entrance.jpg|thumb|left|The entrance to Zul'Farrak.]]
 
−  
−
Zul'Farrak is a big circle, so the end boss can be done before most of the mini-bosses. Chief Ukorz Sandscalp can only be reached after defeating Nekrum at the end of the Pyramid Battle. Talking to the goblin before [[Sergeant Bly]], therefore, most parties classify him as the "End Boss". [[Gahz'rilla]] can be done before or after the Pyramid Battle/Sergeant Bly/Chief Ukorz Sandscalp, so in some sense, he can also be the "End Boss". Nevertheless, it's a technical thing. Zul'Farrak is one of the first instances you may use your mount in, due to it being an outdoor instance.
 
−  
−
Note: After the Pyramid battle, if you talk to the goblin before you talk to Sergeant Bly, then there is a timer that begins (approximately 2 minutes). If you do not talk to Sergeant Bly before that timer runs out, Sergeant Bly (and party) will hearth out of the instance preventing the completion of Divino-matic Rod quest. But if you speak with Bly just before the hearthstone is over, the other NPC will hearth out but Bly will stay in. This is useful if your group is not strong, because you can fight Bly on his own. That way you can complete your rod quest an easy way.

=== Group and level guidance ===

[[File:ComplexZF.jpg|thumb|216px|The Zul'Farrak complex]]

* Player limit: 5
 
−
A good group composition would require a tank, an adept healer and an AOE, mage being the best class, due to their large range of AOE attacks. AOE is essential for certain boss fights and non-elite trash mobs, unless you want to clear individual mobs. This instance can be extremely tough in places, depending on player level, and careful pulling is of critical importance. It is far too easy here, when attempting to pull one mob, to accidentally pull more, and for the group to then wipe because they underestimate the mobs' strength. It is also extremely important to avoid opening too many of the graves inside the instance and unleashing all of the zombies at once, since doing so will quickly lead to the group being overrun.
 
−  
−
The treasure available here is of good quality, with a large array of green items and a decent drop rate of silver and cloth, as well as some leather from the basilisks which accompany the trolls in certain places.
 
−  
−
While multiple Hunters and pets ''can'' serve as a makeshift replacement for a Warrior in a group if a Warrior is unavailable, this strategy is likely to cause wipes and is to be avoided if at all possible. That being said, Feral Druids and Paladins are fully capable of tanking the instance.
 
−  
−
The instance is almost completely outside, allowing for the use of [[mount]]s.
 
−  
−
This instance is one of the last major ones that players will experience before the [[Blackrock Mountain]] complex and the commencement of serious raiding. As such, also given the level of difficulty, it provides an excellent environment for players to develop the group co-ordination skills and depth of familiarity with their characters that they will need before moving on to such places. If you think you're good at running an instance group, ZF will provide you with an opportunity to discover whether or not that perception is accurate.

See [[Zul'Farrak loot]].

−
== High-level runs ==
 
−
Zul'Farrak should be treated with respect even by higher level players. Due to runners, even level 70 players can find themselves overwhelmed as dozens of mobs swarm onto them. It is, however, easily soloable at level 80, especially by players with [[Area of Effect|area-effect]] attacks.
