Objectives

Stop the Spiritbinding Ritual in the Tomb of Secrets.

• Interrupted the Spiritbinding Ritual ^{[53.0, 51.4]}
•  [The Tongue of Ba-Shon] (provided)

Description

The Mogu have been scattered and sparse in number for many years. The Zandalari have not arrived with an army either. Their purpose in the valley makes sense now.

With this many restless spirits they can build themselves an army using the guardians buried in each tomb.

The Tomb of Secrets houses elite warriors called the Emperor's Shield. They must not be resurrected! You'll find the tomb on the highest rise to the southwest.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 10 60
• 162000 XP

Progress

Have you gone to the Tomb of Secrets yet?

Completion

The Mogu and the Zandalari intend to resurrect the Thunder King?!

We cannot let this happen, <name>! The Thunder King will rain destruction on this land with his return.

Notes

Exit the Tomb of Shadows to the southwest and keep running up the stairs to the west. At the top of the stairs, turn left, to the southwest, to enter the Tomb of Secrets. Inside is Nakk'rakas, a level 88 zandalar troll with 217,000 health.

Interact with him and the encounter begins. He will toss up an immunity shield, then summon three Imperial Guards:

Nakk'rakas yells: You can't stop what has begun!

Nakk'rakas yells: Can you feel it? Da Thunder is getting closer...

Nakk'rakas yells: These guardians are just da beginning!

Nakk'rakas yells: Enough! I'll handle you myself!

Kill the guards, then his shield drops. Finish him off.

Nakk'rakas yells: My death will not stop da storm that is coming! Da Thunder King will rise!
